Hat Trick

35.

*Troy's POV*

10/10 will in fact be taking Kaylin on more vacations, because after the first 3 days of her getting all of her HNH stuff done, seeing her relax and unwind was so amazing.

Sam, Q and I however will be forever monitoring K-El-Rah time, because the night of the bachelorette party, we all had to go pick up the girls because they couldn't even manage to call an uber, but Ella has Q as her literal only person on speed dial, so we rolled up to a club at 2 AM carrying out literally 7 girls.

I have never seen Kaylin drunk until that moment, and now I can say that she is a very fun drunk.

She literally went skinny dipping with the girls, ate an entire pizza to herself, then passed out in the shower.

But here we are today.

We've been home for a week now.

I'm meeting her at 10:00 to go take everything to the Air BNB after I'm done conditioning, and then, I'm meeting her parents.

She is currently at work, I am at work, and I don't want to be on this particular weekend.

"You still look like you're going to shit your pants." Sam laughed.

"I'm not going to shit my pants." I sat up from the weight bench and wiped my face.

"You sure about that?" Lach raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sure." I nodded. "I've had like, 2 weeks to process that I'm meeting her parents. I'm good, she says she's ok with all of this but I feel like she was forced in to it, but I'm happy she's letting me meet them."

"I bet you $50 that he's going to panic when he sees her dad." Q looked at Lach.

"Pass out." Lach nodded.

"Throw up." Sam raised his hand.

"You all suck." I shook my head.

"Gentlemen!" Coach Shaw came walking in to the locker room. "We have a guest, keep the vulgarity to a minimum!"

"Huh." Kevin walked over. "We never have guests come in here. Who in the hell."

"Who knows." I shrugged and took a drink.

"Gentlemen." Coach came walking in. "I want you to meet an old friend of mine." He waved someone in from the doorway. "This is a local legend, Duke Wilson."

And the minute this man walked into this weight room, everything I just sucked in to my mouth came flying out of my nose as I choked and gasped for air.

What in the absolute fuck.

"Oh my god." Lach covered his mouth.

"Why is he so fucking big?" Sam whispered.

"Dude you have to breathe." Kevin slapped my back.

"McCarthy, are you alright?" Coach scrunched his face.

I took a deep breath and nodded as Q handed me another towel to wipe my face. "I'm so sorry." I choked out and coughed. "Uh, hi Mr. Wilson."

He raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms. "Duke." He nodded. "And John, that reaction is probably because he was expecting to see me show up to an Air BNB he rented to meet me, my wife, and my youngest daughter, seeing as he's my oldest daughters boyfriend."

"Oh shit!" Leon yelled from across the weight room. "That's Kaylin's dad!"

"I am Kaylin's dad." He nodded.

"Troy that's who you've been seeing since May?" Coach Shaw raised his eyebrows.

"Oh McCarthy." Coach T sighed and shook his head.
