He smiled. “I did a lot of groveling, a lot of begging, and a lot of pleading.”
“Oh Jesus,” I muttered.
“I never said it was going to be easy.”
“It sounds like hell.”
“But any woman worth having is hard work. Because they deserve the effort, son.”
Was that what I really wanted? More hard work in my already full life?What’s the alternative? Going back to random hookups with women who I don’t truly connect with?I shuddered with disgust. I couldn’t imagine not seeing Gaby again.
After rubbing my face, I exhaled a painful breath. “You’re right. There is just something special about her. I think Gaby is worth it.”
It was then Caroline and Liam appeared. “Where’s your mom?” Dad asked.
“Ordering room service in bed,” Caroline replied before bypassing us for the buffet.
Dad winked at me. “Totally wore her out.”
Groaning, I replied, “Would you please stop? There isn’t enough therapy in the world to get me through our last conversation, least of all more innuendo.”
As he held up his hands in surrender, Dad rose from his chair. “Fine. Since my work here seems to be finished, I’m going to go join your mother.”
“Yeah, you do that,” Liam replied as he eyed the menu.
Meeting Dad’s gaze, I said, “Thanks for breakfast.”
He smiled. “You’re welcome. Now get ready for battle.”
After watching Dad’s retreating form, Liam cocked his brows at me. “What was that all about?”
“I was just getting his input on something.”
“Like what?”
“If you must know, it was about a girl.”
Liam snorted. “Why the fuck would you ask Dad about love advice?”
“Because he’s a legend when it comes to women.”
“Yeah, like, a hundred years ago.” After snapping his menu shut, Liam added, “You should’ve come to me.”
“Dream on, buddy.”
“At least I’ve dated in the modern age.”
“Thanks, but I’m good.”
“Suit yourself. Next you’ll be telling me you want to get Caroline’s help.”
“As a matter of fact, I do.”
Liam’s eyes bulged. “You’ve got to be joking.”
“I need to get inside a girl’s head. Last time I checked, Caroline fit the bill.”
The waitress interrupted us to take Liam’s order. As she was leaving, Caroline returned with a plate of food. She sat across from me, so I said, “Listen, I need your advice.”
