Blinding Trust (Mitchell Family, #7)(38)
He and his wife really did live pretty normal lives. Sure, they were filthy rich and surrounded by an entourage of very emo folk, but when we were all alone they were as normal as you could get.
Zeke had told me ahead of time that they were having a get together to celebrate the end of his tour. His other band mate’s wives were taking all the kids to an amusement park and Piper had offered to take Noah. This was another thing that Savanna would have frowned upon, but the last thing I wanted to do was hang out with a bunch of women and kids all day. I just figured I could have the night off from being a guard dog to my son. I’d planned on relaxing for the night, possibly catching a game on television or having a beer by the pool. I never expected to be thrown into a party that could possibly cause me to be a divorced man.
The people didn’t start showing up until after dinner. By that time, the caterers had already set up everything on the first floor and out in the pool area. Alcoholic beverages could be found every ten feet and I appreciated that Zeke and Piper had the decency to make sure my son wasn’t in the house.
After at least fifty people had showed up, I was starting to realize that the party list didn’t just include band members. Another dead ringer was the fact that slews of half dressed females were pouring in by the minute.
I grabbed a six pack of beer and several mini-sandwiches and found my way through the crowds, up to my room. The last thing I wanted to do was party with these people. I didn’t even understand how Zeke was doing it, considering he was a recovering addict himself. No wonder it was so difficult for celebrities to kick the habit for good.
Once I got up to my room, I took my shirt off and got comfortable on the bed, knowing I was going to fall asleep there for the night. I flipped through the channels until I came across the basketball championship game. The series was tied and this game would determine the winner.
I’d watched the whole game, while listening to the crowd of people and music coming from the lower level, but when there was only two minutes left, two giggling broads came barging into my room. I sat up in the bed, looking at them paying me no mind at all. “Hey, this room is taken!”
They looked at each other and giggled. “The more the merrier, right?” They approached me from either side of the bed. I looked down and remembered that I wasn’t wearing a shirt. This was not an invitation like they thought it was. “Seriously, I’m a married man.” I backed myself as far as I could on the bed. They climbed on either side.
“Every man in this house is married. That means nothing, honey.” In one instant the girl was whipping off her top and kneeling in front of me shirtless.
I wasn’t sure what her friend was doing since I closed my eyes. “You got the wrong idea. I ain’t interested in this type of thing.”
When I felt one of them grabbing my arm, I pushed her away and jumped off the bed. The half naked one just sat there with her hands on her thighs. “Are you gay? The hot ones always are.”
“No! What the hell? I ain’t interested in you because I got a family back home and I don’t think my wife would appreciate me shackin’ up with other women.”
They looked at each other and smiled.
I shook my head and walked out of the room. There was no way I was going to be caught in that type of predicament.
It took a while to find Zeke. He was laying under a canopy with three topless girls around him. “Colt! Did you decide to join the party?”
The naked girls were groping each other, paying me no mind.
“No! I didn’t decide to join in on this nonsense. I was tryin’ to relax in my room when two crazy women busted in. Who has a million dollar home with no locks on the bedroom doors?”
Zeke laughed at me. “Look around you, Colt. This is the high life, man. For once why don’t you sit back and enjoy yourself. Nobody will know!”
I was obviously not getting anywhere with this guy. Apparently, his wife was fine was him being around naked women. I guess that was why he was in those magazines with other women.
“When are the kids gettin’ back? I don’t want my son seein’ this!”
He ran his hands through one of the blonde girl’s hair. “In the morning. Piper knows to stay away until everyone is gone.”
“You didn’t ask to keep him overnight. Savanna ain’t goin’ to like this.”
“She’s not here, Colt. Come on, dude. Just let yourself unwind. You don’t have to cheat to have a good time with these ladies.”
“Just give me Piper’s number so I can call my son.” I waited for him to write it down, before walking away from Zeke so I didn’t put my fist into his face. I couldn’t call Savanna and tell her any of this. She was going to kill me. This was what she’d warned me about.
I got to the far side of the pool area and sat down on a large lounge chair. The party was completely out of hand. Topless women were running all around the pool area and jumping in the water. Guys were getting loud, like they’d had way too much to drink. There was some kind of platform in the center of the pool that some girl was dancing around on. Of course she was topless. Male and females in the pool were cheering her on to remove her shorts. I shook my head when I watched her shimmy out of them.
I wasn’t a *. I’d been to strip clubs and had exotic dancers all over me before. This was different. Once I met Savanna, those days were over for me. I had no interest in being turned on by another woman. She gave me everything I needed.
