Chapter 27
Thane
“Thank you so much, Mr. Deveraux,” I tell my client and then hang up the phone with him. Mr. Deveraux owns a handbag company and is currently in China looking for a new factory to work with. He won’t be back for a week, so he agreed to let me borrow his jet to take Faye and the boys to Disneyland this weekend.
Dialing Faye, she answers after a couple rings. Her voice is like music to my ears. “What are you up to?” she asks me as I’m sitting in Denver waiting for our next flight.
“Not much, just in the Mile High City. Guess who I just got off the phone with?”
“Uhh, I have no clue,” she says, and I realize it was kinda dumb of me to ask her in the first place.
“The guy who owns the plane I wanted to borrow to go to Disneyland.”
“Oh really? What did he say?”
“That we can use it this weekend.”
“This weekend as in tomorrow?”
“Yeah, isn’t that great?”
“Uh, isn’t Char supposed to have Jack this weekend?”
“What’s that matter? Macy’s is probably having a sale, so she won’t care.”
“Really? You’d do that to her?”
“Babe, she’d do the same thing to me. Hell, she did. Our entire marriage all she did was lie about everything. She never wanted me home to be with her, it was so I could watch Jack, and she could shop.”
“So what are you gonna tell her then?”
“Nothing, I have primary custody.”
“Thane!” she scolds me and Elliott gives me a crooked glance.
“Fine, I’ll talk to her about it.”
“Good.” I’m not sure what it matters to Faye anyway. But I always want to make sure she’s happy. “Are we still on for dinner?” she asks me.
“Of course. I can’t wait. We should be taking off here in about thirty minutes.”
“Okay, well, fly safe. I’m gonna go get the boys.”
“Tell Jack I miss him.”
“I will. Bye, Thane.”
“Goodbye, beautiful.”
“Holy shit!” Elliot exclaims, “You’re pussy whipped.”
“Fuck off, man.”
He’s leaning back in his seat just staring at me. “I would’ve never thought it would happen to you, of all people.”
“You know what your problem is, man?” He tips his head to me, waiting for my response. “You focus too much on other people.”
“What else do I have to do?”
