Chapter 16 -- Oh NO! Not again
Bill's point of view:
Six months later ...
I know something is going on. This whole week has been weird at work. I was sent out of the office for the entire week. That never happens. With four women, someone needs me, and they will break up my schedule. Not this week. I left early Monday morning and it's Friday at 4:30 PM that I'm back in my office. I see everyone discretely packing their personal items.
With Kim, I instantly noticed. Then as I looked around, I saw more evidence. They're trying to hide it, but I see pictures and other mementos have left desks as I walk around.
My birthday is tomorrow, but I don't see how that affects the office. Did we buy a bigger building downtown? Why didn't they tell me?
I call Kim into my office. She comes running.
I ask, "I don't see a box for me."
She has an expression of aguish on her face like I just shot her.
She tries to speak, "You're not ..."
I start, "Close the door please."
Obediently, she closes my door. I smile at her, which sets her at ease. It's funny how often just a simple smile solves so many issues.
I continue, "I see personal items being removed from desks. I didn't get the memo which means that mom is up to something. Fine, let her play her games. However, you can pack up my stuff before 5:00 so you don't have to stay after on a Friday. You have better stuff to do."
She rushes me for a hug. She has a small chest, but the feeling is still impressive as I can see the appreciation on her face. She kisses my cheek.
A few minutes after 5:00, the office is empty, and mom and Jane are ready to go home. I get my heavy coat, put it on, and we're ready to go home. The elevator ride down is normal. The limo is normal. Stopping to pick up Sophia and Vickie, is not normal. Some boxes are placed in the trunk.
In the limo, Jane and Vickie get my sides with me in the middle, we face forward. Both moms sit side by side across from us, making it easy to talk. They're both extremely excited. I can see it in their eyes, they can't wait for something. I could make a guess, but that would ruin the surprise. With the effort they went through in this short of time, no way I ruin it for them.
I try to sound a mix of curious and confused, "Are we going out for dinner? This isn't the way home."
Mom says with excitement, "We bought some land."
Sophia continues, "You're getting a new office."
They smile at my disappointment. I was hoping for a new home, where we can all live. It will probably be another six months at least, I bet they had a huge list of things that we need in the house.
We exit the highway and then it's a few short minutes before I see a four-story office building. There are security gates that open for us. I see several large moving trucks with office chairs, computer equipment, and sections for making cubicles. Half of the large lot has delivery trucks and installers while the other half are people I know from the office. They're all pulling in or were ahead of us and are carrying boxes into the large building.
I saw other people I didn't know on the opposite side of the building. I walk inside the building with my beaming family and the place is incredible. There is a splashing fountain, dark marble with Roman columns lining the entrance. Elevators and a large stairway go up once you're beyond security. There is an information desk and a security checkpoint. The ceiling is painted like the old gothic churches in Europe. There are several sculptures of Roman theme and an elegance to the entrance and atrium that are unparalleled. Several people are there to show employees on huge maps and handouts, where each person sits, where conference rooms are, and where the restrooms are located.
The second floor is daycare, a cafeteria, dining space, microwaves for those that bring their own meals, and then a break room playing calm elevator music. I am told our chefs make the food and everyone has the same choices with daily specials as we do.
Free parking, daycare, and lunches. Amazing.
The entire building looks like executive offices, but mine are beyond belief. The desk, table, chairs, bar, and washroom must have cost a mint. Everything was designed to extrude wealth and luxury. Even the chairs are amazing to sit in. Kim and Betty attack mom. I can see the excitement in their eyes.
My office has a beautiful view of trees in the distance. Kim eventually gets around to hugging me. Why? I didn't do any of this, it's all mom and Sophia.
Vickie and Sophia had checked in with their people. They made their way back to my office after about fifteen minutes.
I say to all of them partially bewildered, "I am shocked at what you have done. This place is classic, cool, luxurious, and has all the amenities we need. I saw the sign for the gym in the basement. Very nice. It shouldn't be a long commute either. I love this place. I have never seen it's equal, especially in the amazing view once the front door was opened. I was speechless."
Vickie asks, "Can we take our man home? I bet he would love something to eat."
We pile into the car and instantly I see smiles on all their faces. I think I have a new house as well. They are poised to scream yet their holding in their excitement. Really, they're all like children right now. It's Christmas morning and they're waiting to open their presents. They suck at their poker faces. I will play along.
We don't turn left to go out the gate. We turn right to go down a road lined with trees. It not long before we turn, and I see an enormous house in front of me.
I shout out, "STOP THE CAR!"
Everyone looks worried. I jump out of the car and look at the magnificent home. It's huge. Three stories, lots of columns, huge windows, and an overhang by the front door, large enough for four cars. That's handy if it's raining or snowing.
Everyone else comes out to look.
Once they're out, I say with amazement in my voice, "That is a magnificent home. It's ... massive."
Mom suggests, "Let's get back in and we'll show you the outside buildings."
We all rush to get back in the limo. Around back of the house is a lap pool and what looks like a tropical pool with a Tiki theme, maybe Hawaiian. There's a slide, a waterfall, what looks to be outside and in-pool lighting, along with a large grill and kitchen area. Around a hill there is a garage, a storage building, some housing for the staff, and a combat training facility for our security.
The garage has ten bays but looks deep. We stop in front of the garage and get out. A fingerprint unlocks the door, then it opens. Inside the garage is room for about 100 cars. Inside is only a 1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost in pristine condition along with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air.
Vickie pulls my hand, so I look at her, "We hired two mechanics to keep the cars in working order. Your mom and sister were each impressed with the car show and bought a car they liked. You get to choose the rest. Ronnie suggested that you need a few muscle cars."
I am smiling as I say, "Oh, I think I may end up buying one or two."
I ended up buying thirty-two muscle cars. We all like the Silver Ghost, it gets the most use of them all.
They continue the tour by showing me the vegetable gardens and the flower gardens. On the other side of the house there are tennis courts. There is a lot of space between things with lots of trees to help keep it country looking.
We pull around to the front door and walk in the house. Immediately, the size and open space hit me as spectacular. In many ways it's like the old southern plantation homes with the stairs that round up to the second level and then cross over and go up to the third level. All of this is visible from the front door. Further back I see two elevators.
I get the full tour next. A large formal living room and dining room to the right for entertaining. Behind the front entrance is the kitchen. To the left is the casual living room, dining room, and the Caribbean living room. Past those are our offices. The kitchen is huge and has a large table for family and staff to eat at.
The second floor has a nursery, children's playroom, two lanes of bowling and a gaggle of pinball and arcade games. We have an old looking Wurlitzer Jukebox with bubbles that plays all our CD's. There is also a pool table, a shuffleboard, a Foosball table, an air hockey table, and a table for playing cards. On the end is a media room with the most advanced sound and video available with better than theatre seating.
On this floor and the Caribbean living room, most of the rooms have murals on the walls and the ceilings. The children's nursery and playroom are an enchanted forest and a city park.
The third floor has a bunch of guest bedrooms, a hospital room, a locked room. There are a lot of guest rooms because eventually, those will be bedrooms for the children. To the right are two larger guest rooms, mom, Sophia, Jane, and Vickie's rooms with mine on the far end. I laugh at seeing my shower has four body washes and four shampoos already.
My walls are painted with a brownish texture type of thing. It looks ancient which goes with the entire Roman theme of my room. Even my washroom is like a modern version of an ancient Roman bath. The whole look left me breathless and unable to speak.
A stunned me is guided to the kitchen where we have an awesome dinner. All my favorites are on the table. This scares me more than anything today. They're up to something. I'm introduced to Pat Johnson although they never did say what he does for us. I bet I find out soon enough.
Most of the staff is familiar looking. There are several new people from Connie's house. They seem nervous to be sitting with us. I'm positive they will get over that.
When we finish, mom gets up and places her hand on my shoulders to keep me seated. Now is when the shit hits the fan.
As the others stand up, mom says to me, "You are going to have a chat with Pat. He's going to explain tonight to you and why he's here. We are going to prepare ourselves, then we will meet up later." She kisses me on the lips. "Love you."
Jane, Sophia, and Vickie all kiss me passionately before following mom up the stairs.
Once out of sight, Pat comes closer to me and takes a seat. Pat is a handsome man that has no issues with getting dates. He looks like he could have been a model. Why is he here? I admit, I'm nervous in my own home.
Pat sets me at ease, "Loosen up Bill, this is all good. Your mother and Sophia hired me to assist your family. I'm an author."
Why the hell do we need an author?
