Chapter 58
The day had gone as expected with me hopping around on my crutches not wanting anyone to touch me unless I asked. I was glad that I at least was still able to get out and do a few things. I rode my ATV and played just as hard on things I could with only having to use one foot. I was still polite and nice with everyone including Sharene who had been here and there back and forth to the yacht for whatever reason. I tried my best not to over think where I went wrong, but also knew I had other things to focus on now that my two best gay guy friends were tying the knot in only a couple of days. My mother took the boys over to IveyRose Island when Asher left to go back taking Catherine along leaving me to brood and do what I wanted to do. My friends understood since I was only on crutches and could not get around very well and had started my cycle mid-day. Everyone now knew to stay clear if they did not want to get under my skin. My mother must have told everyone since I was left alone which gave me time to even work on my next stage of life. I was in the guest house and in the office checking my emails and replying to a few that I had received from my ex-Maxwell who was wanting to fly out to see me. I was not sure it was the best idea since my friends really hated him even though I still had a lot of love for him in my own non-sexual way. I wrote back telling him I would need to check with my parents and get back to him since we were pretty full in the house already.
Deciding to call over to the house after all of the emails back and for between Maxwell and, I. I called across to the house happy that my father answered and was in a pretty good mood giving me leeway to ask him what he thought about Maxwell coming out. “So, I just got an email from Max who did have plans, but they got cut short. He wants to know if he could come hang out for a couple of weeks with us. I told him we were pretty full housed and would have to ask you…” “Oh wow well you know your mother and I love him like a son so I’m good with it, but you have to be ok with it and how will he get here” he asked knowing if needed he would have Donnie pick him up. I hated being the one to decide even though I figured that was how it was going to end and made the call to first ask my friends. Who could not stand him since he was so possessive even after we broke up. “Alright well I’ll wait for mother to get back with the boys and Cate to see what they all think. Only because they don’t really like him all too much…” I stopped not wanting to have to explain.
In the almost 2 years we were broken up I had never told my parents what exactly happened that made me break up with Maxwell. Just telling them that it was mutual and a decision that had to be made. My father I think thought he would be the perfect son in-law since he was prelaw and loved it just as much as my father did. Maxwell knew regardless of our relationship my parents would always love him and he would have a job waiting for him when he graduated. I was also not a vindictive person even when someone hurt me like Maxwell had done and I was sure most women would have done a hell of a lot more than I had done. After hanging up with my father I decided to get Maxwell on facetime instead of just emailing or texting him back. He had already blown up my phone with 40 txt messages and 6 emails and he answered before it even rang on my end. It sparked the screen to life with his handsome face filling the screen of my iPad.
Maxwell still had a tight hold on me though I told myself he didn’t just to get on with the forgiving process. “Well, look at you…. so plans got cut short ya? Well, my father is all for you coming out, but wants to know how you plan on getting here and then I have to still ask my mother and of course you know Cate, Jose and Nick. Who are here with me for the summer well at least Cate is and are not your biggest fans and vice versa. Jose and Nick are tying the knot in a couple of days before leaving for boot camp in a little over 2 ½ weeks” I informed him right off the bat to get it out there for him to change his mind on his own. Maxwell grunted and smiled taking me in as well since we had not faced timed in almost a year and only talked a handful of times during the year.
He even licked his lips before finally speaking which gave me goose bumps knowing he could still have such an effect on me. “Well, you know your friends hate me for the stupid shit I’ve done, but you obviously chose not to tell your parents for a reason. Only because your dad and I talk a lot and he’s never put me in my place. Or warned me about losing my position at the firm when I get done here. Maybe there’s hope for me yet…..” he shrugged preening like a cat with pride in his voice. I just shook my head not finding any of it funny since my friends had every reason to hate him even though I chose to see the good parts and not the mistakes he’s made. There was a knock at my office door as it was locked due to not wanting to be disturbed while I handled my business and started looking over my packets for the colleges that wanted me. “Ya, give me a sec on the phone right now with someone” I yelled out to whoever it was. I went back to the call not able to get much in “So hope you have your bags packed…..” another knock came and this time louder pissing me off. “For fuck sake go away I’m busy right now.”
Maxwell laughed and let me go and me promising to call him when I got the answer from my mother and friends. I slowly got to my feet and used the crutches to get to the locked door. I quickly opened it swinging it wide letting it hit the wall and there stood Sebastian on the thresh hold of the doorway. I stood there glaring at him but standing tall not moving when he tried to pass by to get in for whatever reason. “WHAT do you want…. I was busy on a call and actually doing some important things right now” I bitched at him for interrupting me. Sebastian threw up his hands and backed up seeing that I was really pissed off and wasn’t in the mood to play around. “Sorry damn I just wanted to check on you and let you know that Capt. Amshireston and your father are asking for you at the Yacht. I’m assuming it has to do with your training on how to drive it so that if need be next time ya’ll come back you won’t need a Capt. or crew. Well maybe a crew but it would be your crew that you’d get to pick and I’m sure that would be what you want right?” he asked in a way that told me he knew what had happened between me and Sharene.
After finally giving in I moved passed him and down the hall using one crutch to take me down so I would not kill myself. I jumped in the front seat of the cart where my father waited for me, and we drove to the dock and across the water to the Yacht where Capt. Vic waited for us. “I guess now is perfect to start teaching you what I do inside which it takes not only me but the crew to do what we do” Victor said as he took my hand. I was a little irritated at the comment like I had no clue what it took. I just chose, keep my mouth shut and listened as we moved to the Bridge where everything was waiting for me to learn about what the Capt. had to do.
