The Family Screw Up Finds Himself A Girl

Chapter Three

I've had the most amazing couple of days with Philip. Being in that hotel room, having the best sex I've ever had in my life, and being waited on all day with room service is definitely something I could get used to. He is flying home today which makes me feel sad, connections like this don't come around too often. We went down to the lobby for drinks with a few of my friend's last night and they all loved him. He is very charismatic and can make an entire room of people laugh.

"Well, I guess this is 'I'll see you later,' it's not goodbye, I'll see you soon." We are at Heathrow Airport and Philip's trying to be all positive, I feel so sad to see him go. "Really?" I say back to him. He runs his fingers through my hair, "Yes, what we have is something special and I can't wait to see you again. Come and see me when you can, long-distance relationships can work. There's always phone sex, you know," he jokes. I can't help but laugh, "Ok, well have a safe flight then." He kisses me one last time and I watch him as he disappears into the terminal, wishing that I was going with him.

"Sis, I want to hear all about this guy of yours!" It's my half sister, she's very curious about Philip. I haven't told her much over text, but I spill all of the details while I'm on a call to her. I can hear the baby in the background, "Is Olivia ok?" I ask, I still haven't met my niece who is nearly a year old. I see little of my sister, we have different Dad's and we share the same Mum. She's ten years older than me and has always lived in the states. Mum moved to London when she got divorced, met my Dad and they had me, my sister stayed with her Dad in America as she's closer to him. I didn't even make it to her wedding which she wasn't happy about, but because of work I couldn't take the time off.

"Olivia is good, you need to come and meet her." I nod in agreement, "I will, I promise." She continues with her grilling of Philip, "So, what does this guy do?" I tell her about how he came to do a sales pitch for his Whiskey company and that he has a family sport's business as well. "Oh, what's the name of the sport's company?" She asks inquisitively. "Umm, I can't remember something like Goodman Sporting Goods." She raises her voice, "Altman?!" She must know the company, "Oh, yeah, that's it. No need to shout sis." She replies frantically, "He's Philip Altman! Judd's brother, Sam!" Oh My God! Quinn never changed her last name when she got married, so I never knew her husband's surname. Judd Altman is my sister's ex husband. "Quinn, I didn't know! Shit, so the guy I've been sleeping with is your ex husband's brother?!" I can hear a big sigh from Quinn, "Yes, genius!"

The drama of last week's antics with me, the girls and Clyde have gone out of the window, I'm in a proper mess now.
