“Coffee all around,” Itellher.
“Is your bar open?” Chauncey drawls the question. “I could go for a Jack on therocks.”
“I’m sorry, sir,” she replies with a tight smile. “We don’t serve alcohol, but there’s a gas station about five miles west of here. You can buy liquor by the bottle.” She turns to leave and politely says over her shoulder, “I’ll be back shortly with yourcoffee.”
Chauncey looks around. “It’s slim pickings in here,” he observes. “Except for that hot as fuck waitress. Those tits areperfection.”
“Shawna will like them too,” Jeff tells him. “Especially now that she and her divorce attorneys are probably combing through the prenup she signed to see what dirt she can nail on yoursorryass.”
“What the hell difference does it make?” Chauncey mutters. “She’s already filed fordivorce.”
“You don’t want to fuck with Shawna, is all I’m saying. You need to be careful with thisdivorce.”
“And whyisthat?”
“You really needtoask?”
“Ijustdid.”
“For starters, your wife doesn’t seem like she can handle a divorce, and if it’s anything like the last one, you’ll be SOL after it’salldone.”
“I’ve got that undercontrol.”
“Says the guy working on his second divorce in threeyears.”
“Listen. Shawna is an ungrateful, cold woman. She had her ride, and now it’s someone else’s turn. Get off my backaboutthis.”
“Fine, but we just don’t want to see you getscrewed.”
“That’s what the prenup was for. The sooner it’s over and done with, the sooner I can marrySherri.”
Everyone around the table whips their head to look atChauncey.
“Wait. Hold up,” Jeff continues. “Sherri as in your first wife? ThatSherri?”
“Yes and no. She’s like a different Sherri. A kinder, nicer one. She’schanged.”
“What’s your deal with getting married anyway? You can get all the pussy you want whenever you want it. And don’t tell me you love these women youmarried.”
“How about you mind your own damnbusiness?”
“You’re the one who brought it up. Anyhow, you might want to start testing the watersnexttime.”
“I already did with Sherri. That’s why we’reremarrying.”
“Make sure Shawna doesn’t find out. She didn’t hire the top divorce law firm for kicks. Just thinking about you,buddy.”
“Yeah, you were really thinking about me when you gave her their number too,weren’tyou?”
“She asked. What was I supposedtodo?”
“You could have told her you’d get back to her, dumbass. Because loyalty, you know what I’m saying?” Chauncey shakes off the frustration. “Are we at least doing the hot springs while we’re in town?” he asks, changing thesubject.
Victor straightens up at the question, pulling out his phone. “Yeah.” He unlocks his phone and opens up the itinerary. “We have an overnighter tomorrow. We’reallset.”
“And the entertainment iscomingwith?”
“Yup.”
