Max did ask once more before going into their house. "Are you sure? About me going? I know that you like her a lot."
"Yeah I'm sure, I don't want that asshole of a father to hit you again."
"He said he wouldn't ever again when mom threaten to leave him."
"Yeah I heard that before." Meaning his mother, but he moved on so fast that Billy didn't have time to grieve over his mother not taking him.
"Meaning your mom?" Max felt that, her dad didn't even say goodbye.
"Yeah. Anyways try not to fuck it up while we are there okay?"
"Okay."
"Good, lets drop this and get inside to pack."
"Okay Billy."
They both packed up while Neil was out, he was a little mad that Billy was going but he did well in school and plus Susan talked him into letting Billy go, so they could have alone time together. Neil came home as he sat down in his chair while the other three were watching tv before bedtime. "So when so the two of you leave?"
"Friday." Billy answered, oh to be away from him was a dream come true! He is so going to spoil Anastasia to his best ability.
"Good two more days. You'll both be out of our hairs."
"Yes sir."
Neil mutters under his breath. 'smart ass.' Billy got up, he had enough. Sneaking out for a little bit going back to Anastasia's, Mr. Portland opens the door. "Billy, my boy. What brings you by?"
"Is Anastasia home?"
"Yes she is. She's out swimming." Letting in. "And thanks for going with her."
"That's where I'm from. I'm glad to get to go home for a little while."
"So you told me, I'm glad she chose that spot."
"Mind me asking why she is going other than to get away."
"Her father is in town this week, and doesn't want anything to do with her. So I gave her the idea, please don't mention this to her. If it wasn't the work party that his job and many others. Believe me I would kick him out but since it's a fundraiser I really can't."
"I see." As they walked into the kitchen.
"It would break her heart more if she knew that he was here and didn't want to see her."
"I understand."
"I knew that you would. So thank you. I gave her my card so for gas wise or for beer what not, its all going to be paid for."
"Thank you sir."
"Please call me Timothy, you earned it. Toni and the others do."
"Still thank you."
"No thank you, for real. She enjoys spending time with the both of you. Enjoy the rest of you night Billy."
"Night Timothy."
Billy headed on out as he saw her swimming, she was a little beat red from the sun. Grabbing her a towel as her head pops up. "Hey! Let's go."
"Jesus Christ... Is my Lord and saver." It was something that her papa taught her growing up.
"Is he now?" Soft chuckle. "And here I thought I was your savoir."
"Haha."
Billy leans down as he hands her a towel. "Come on, I want to talk to you.."
Anastasia takes the towel as she heads up the pool stairs. "About what Billy?"
"So tell me about this place we are going too."
"There are two bedrooms with two bathrooms I think. Close to the beach, has rentals to go surfing if you want too. Enough space for Max to skateboard all she wants too. A pretty good size kitchen and a porch as well. I think that is it."
"How is the bedroom going to work?" Hopping that they would be sharing a room.
"I'll stay with Max and you will have a bedroom to yourself." Out of the pool and sat down under the umbrella to be in the shade.
"Oh.."
" 'oh' what Billy?"
"I thought we would share a room." Billy wasn't sure if she was teasing him or not.
"Oh no, the rule is the one side is the girls room and the other side is yours." She was so bullshitting him that it was too cute to see him unhappy.
"For his house? That is dumb. We share... well I come into your room and Timothy doesn't say a thing."
Anastasia had such a great poker face, that this was killing her. "That's for here, but over there its the rule."
Well it was better than nothing. "Fine. I guess I can go without a week not being with you."
She wanted to burst out in laughter but kept it to herself. "You will be with me, just not in that way yet. He's old fashioned. If you and I were to marry he wouldn't care."
Billy sighed. "Damn. I guess that is old people for ya."
Laughing inside so hard that she couldn't believe that he bought it. Anastasia thought that he could see right through her. Billy kissed Anastasia's cheek for the night.
Coming inside her papa was sitting in the kitchen awaiting her. "Did he by it?"
"I feel for him, but yup. He really thinks that we have to sleep in two different rooms." The both of them Laughed.
