" No butts about it, Ben, unless it's my butt. I'm gettin' you're cherry this weekend and I do know you have a cherry to pick. As a treat, you'll be g...tting mine. Think on that one, cous."I did--all through supper. Think on it that is. I didn't have a choice. Steph kept reminding me in such subtle ways.During supper, Steph and I were seated side by side. Her three sisters were all seated across the table with her parents on either end. All through the meal, Steph took surreptitious feels along. .” my voice trailed off.Now he gave me a patronizing look. “Look, Dude…” He then stopped when he saw my expression.“Courtney, get used to it. You are a guy now, and people will be calling you dude for like forever plus twenty years. Embrace the suck, as my brother used to say.”I nodded in assent. “Alright... you were going to say?”“Let’s count up where we are. You have a new look, new clothes, and money. You have a roof over your head, and most amazing of all, a date with a screaming hot chick. Hopefully I won't have to do anything to effect the trust account." I said."It would be best to leave the investments in place so we can analyze the results, unless you feel you are going to need whatever this house boat is going to end up costing you," he said."I think the total will be under 300k definitely," I said."Then unless you foresee some heavy duty expenses I'd recommend you take if from those first year discretionary funds," he said."Okay, lets buy it that way," I said. Sounding as. I took the tea slowly sipping and thinking. Next within few minutes Mom came in my room. She was saying this with tears coming in her eyes “ your father is always after business, he has not spared sometime for me and my feelings. This will not happen again” It was not difficult for me to realize that mom was afraid of being the matter told to my father. I said “mom I will not reveal anything to father” She smiled happily and came near and kissed on my forehead and cheek. She left for kitchen.
