A
week later
MY FINGERS DRUMMED over my thighs as I waited for Lila to
come down the stairs. I left her an hour ago to get dressed,
and if we didn’t leave in five minutes, we were going to be
late to the gala.
I was in a tuxedo, which was appropriate for the evening
gala we were attending. It was an auctioning event and
dinner, my parents being the guests of honor. My dad called
me last night and demanded me to be present. I told him to
fuck off and hung up with absolutely no intention to attend
the gala. I didn’t give a shit if this was important to him or
that it was appropriate for me to be there to show my face
and support to my parents.
It was Lila who convinced me.
The gala was being held in California, and she wanted to
visit the beach. Lila said it was a great opportunity for a
small vacation after such a long semester, and I couldn’t
say no to her. I could never refuse her of anything.
So, we took a plane here. We’d go to the gala tonight,
and tomorrow, I was going to teach her how to surf.
