Chapter Fourteen

Grayson

THE REST OF THE weekend went by fast. Saturday night had a bunch of bikers come in. They were all caught up in Riley’s charm, which resulted in another amazing night of tips.

Sunday was steady, but nothing crazy. Our regulars, a few couples, and the owners.

Before we left for the night on Sunday I double checked with Riley about fishing on Wednesday. She had bunched her nose up, worms, but said she couldn’t wait.

The next two days I help my dad put new fencing up around the back of their property line.

“You coming to the family reunion in a couple weeks, right?”

my dad asks me

“Wouldn’t miss it.”

We have a family reunion every few years. This year it will be at my parents’ house, which I appreciate because I won’t have to travel.

“Actually dad, I was going to someone if they would join me.”

My dad stops in his tracks and lets the post driver fall on top of the wood. He wipes his hands across his jeans and looks at me.

“Is this someone, a woman?”

“Yes, Dad.”

He nods his head.

“Is your mom going to like her?”

“I don’t see why she wouldn’t. She isn’t like anyone I’ve ever met before.” I can feel my face getting warm talking about her.

Remembering the soft feel of her lips against mine.

Pretend it didn’t happen, Grayson

“Well, alright then. I’ll let your mom know you might have a plus one.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

We finish the back section and join mom for Tuesday night dinner. Tonight, is spareribs, mashed sweet potatoes, and corn on the cob.

“Your son here wants to have a plus one to the family reunion.”

My mom’s eyes grow wide, and her smile tries not to spread across her face.

“Oh really?” she says.

“Yeah. Her name is Riley. She got here a couple weeks ago and works with me on the weekends.”

“I’m certainly not opposed to you bringing someone,” my mom says and goes back to eating.

“Thanks mom,” I say and do the same.
