For the next few weeks, as the holidays approached, Kate and I spent as much time together as we could. She was on days for the next few weeks, so I planned to eat lunch with her on Wednesday. She promised to give me about an hour’s notice so I could make my way over to the hospital. Everyone there ate in the cafeteria so that if they were needed, they could get back to the emergency room quickly. Kate sent me a text at about eleven thirty stating that her crew would take lunch at twelve thirty. I left the gym about quarter to twelve and was sitting in the cafeteria when Kate and her nurses came in the door.
Kate walked over and kissed me quickly, then I followed her to the line that had formed. I told Kate that I would buy everyone’s lunch. Kate informed everyone, which went over very well. Everyone received their lunch, and I paid for everything, then joined them at the table.
“Jace, these are my people. That’s Jill, Cindy, and Megan. Without them, I would be lost for sure. Girls, this is Jace Johnson.” Kate said, introducing all of us.
“Nice to meet you, ladies.” I answered.
“Ladies... you don’t know us well enough.” Megan, the redhead, laughed.
“Uh... Just so you know, Jace, this group has no filter at all.” Kate explained.
“I can deal with it, Kate.” I laughed.
“Oh, I bet you can.” Megan said, causing the entire group to laugh.
Lunch became a ritual for us, with me joining the group at least twice a week, sometimes more. The girls would always like to talk shit to me, but it was all in good fun. Kate would FaceTime me every break she would get, and we would talk as long as she was able.
The gym was doing well, and I had hired another guy to help in the day-to-day activities. That way, I could alter my schedule to be available when Kate was off. Sometimes, I didn’t want to take the larger SUV, so I had purchased a Jaguar XF, which I really liked for about fifty-five thousand. As soon as Kate saw it, she fell in love, and anytime we went somewhere together, she wanted to drive it.
We spent Thanksgiving with her family, and I got to meet her grandparents on both sides of the family. Kate was still training extremely hard and still making good gains. Kate’s body was very proportionate, with her legs and ass spectacular. Men would always break their necks trying to get a good look at her.
It was right after Thanksgiving that I received a call from Jennifer. She was back playing ball, but her father had dropped a bombshell on her. According to Jen, her parents had bought a house that was way over the top. In addition, her father had bought himself a new BMW, which, according to Jen, was over one hundred thousand dollars. So, he sat her down and told her they needed to cut back on expenses, which meant the pitching lessons, her batting coach, and trainer all had to be dropped. She could still play softball but no more private lessons. Jennifer was ranked as the third best softball player in the city and the number two ranked pitcher. I told Jennifer that I would call her mother and discuss it.
A few days later, around lunchtime, I decided to call Shelby about the situation. Shelby answered the phone quickly with that familiar hello I had heard so many times.
“Hey Shelby, do you have a minute to talk?” I asked.
“Sure, what’s up?”, she answered.
“Jennifer called me about the softball situation; she seemed very upset.” I stated.
“Yes, she is. Tim is being an ass as usual, but not a lot I can do.” she sighed.
“I can help out ... she needs to keep training and learning.” I responded.
“Tim, I can’t let you do that. Besides, Tim would not allow it.” she shot back.
“I’m offering to help, and I could care less what Tim thinks. Just tell him the rest of the year is paid for so it costs him nothing. Find out how much it is for the remainder of the year, and I’ll give you a check for cash to pay it all. No one needs to know anything except you and me.” I responded.
“Jace, that is so sweet of you.” Shelby said.
“Shelby, I love that little girl. She is like the baby sister I no longer have. Anything she needs, you let me know.” I offered.
“Will do.” Shelby said, hanging up.
We were able to pull it off without Tim finding out. Jennifer had to be told, and she called me and thanked me almost in tears. I told her if she ever needed anything to let me know. Kate and I were at my house one evening and just talking in general when Kate brought up something.
“Oh, by the way ... my parents want us to join them for the annual gala at the Metronome this year.” she stated.
“I went to that last year. Shelby’s parents will be there as well as her husband and his father. Should be a real shit show.” I laughed.
With Christmas on the horizon, I knew I needed to start shopping for Kate. I had no idea what to get her, so I decided to keep things simple. I started at the Under Armour store by purchasing workout wear that she could use daily. I had everything gift-wrapped and put in the trunk of my car. I then went to Victoria’s Secret and bought lingerie which Kate also loved and had it gift-wrapped.
That weekend, Kate and I put up the tree I had bought years before and decorated it. It was in the family room, and when we were done, it looked amazing. Kate placed the skirt around the tree, and we were done, but she had to go to the emergency room for her shift. After she left, I went out to my car and emptied all of the presents out and arranged them around the tree. After I was finished, Kate already had eighteen gifts scattered under the tree. I knew Jennifer’s bat size, so I decided to get her the best softball bat available.
After talking with several people, including her pitching coach, I bought an Easton Ghost Advanced Fastpitch bat. It was five hundred fifty dollars but had great reviews. I wrapped it up and put it under the tree as well.
We were about two weeks before Christmas, and the gifts under our tree had multiplied fivefold. There were presents stacked on top of presents everywhere. Kate had been shopping for her family as well, and everything was under the tree for them as well. I still wanted to get Kate something that signified she was successful and very accomplished in her field. After looking at the Seko watch that she wore every day, I decided to get her a new one.
I went to the jewelry store where I had bought Shelby’s engagement ring. I was shown several high-end watches and finally chose a Rolex DATEJUST Gold Automatic watch, which was twenty-five thousand dollars. Yes, that was a crazy amount of money to spend, but I barely ever spent any significant money. I had over thirty thousand dollars a month coming in just in interest. My checking account was at eight hundred seventy-five thousand and growing. I also purchased a set of diamond earrings like the ones I had given Shelby. As I drove home, I felt good about what I had bought for Kate.
We were about a week away from the gala at the Metronome when Kate asked if I wanted to go shopping for a new dress. I agreed, and of course, Kate had the drive the Jaguar. We went to Neiman Marcus because Kate knew a woman in the sales department. Fortunately, she was working, so she and Kate went to work. Kate tried on several dresses, never really approving of any of them.
Then she came out in an Alex Perry ledger Strapless Satin Crepe gown in white. The dress was split up the left side almost to the top of her thigh. Kate’s gorgeous legs were in full view, and she looked amazing. She liked the dress as well and bought a pair of white heels to match. I still had my black tux to wear, so I was all set. The only drawback to the event would be seeing Shelby, her parents, Tim, and his family. Of course, Kate’s parents would have their own table since her father was huge in the business.
Kate asked me if I would take her to the hairdresser the Saturday morning of the gala. So, I accompanied her to the salon where she met with Trish, her stylist.
“Hello Kate, long time no see. And who do we have here?” she greeted, looking me over.
“Hey Trish, this is Jace. Jace is my uh ... significant other?” Kate explained.
“Well, wherever you got him, let me know. I want one too.” Trish giggled.
I sat in one of the large chairs up front while Kate had her hair cut and colored. She got what was called a Boss Pixie, which looked really good on her. She had Trish apply just some minimum honey blonde streaks in her hair, which came out amazing. She had her nails and feet done. We left after about two and a half hours of me waiting.
We went home and relaxed a bit, then took showers to get ready for the event. We arrived at the Metronome a few minutes before eight o’clock. We had the valet take the car, and we walked through the lobby hand in hand. We handed the hostess our invitation and started walking down the center aisleway between the hundreds of tables that were placed on the left and the right. A quick glance affirmed that the Phillips table was in the same place, although most were not there. Kate spotted her parents, and we started walking in that direction. We sat down with them, and they remarked how lovely Kate looked.
Thirty minutes later, the place was packed. Shelby’s parents were about five tables to our right, and Shelby, Tim, and his parents were on the far side of the room. What actually surprised me is that Jennifer was here with a young man dressed in a tuxedo. I was not aware Jennifer had a boyfriend, but then again, I was no longer in the loop, so to speak. About a half hour later, we were just talking with Kate’s parents when Jennifer and the young man came up to our table. Jennifer leaned over and hugged me, then gently kissed my cheek.
“Hey Jace, I miss you.” she said softly.
“I miss you too, Jen.” I admitted.
“Jace, this is my friend Lance from school.” she stated.
“Nice to meet you, Lance. Just so you know, this young lady right here means the world to me. You hurt her, and you will deal with me.” I said, shaking his hand.
“No problem...” he muttered.
“Oh Jen, I have your Christmas present at my house. Next time I see you, I will give it to you.” I promised.
“Thanks Jace, oh, by the way, Luke doesn’t dance, so would you dance one time with me?” Jennifer asked.
“I would love to, just let me know when.” I offered.
Jennifer and her new boyfriend went back to her parents’ table and sat down. I returned to the conversation that was going on at our table. Laura McKinney leaned over and almost whispered something in my ear.
“Jace, you are wise beyond your years. I just don’t see young people with the values that you have today. That little girl adores you, and she is not even yours. Don’t ever lose track of who you are. That would be a shame.” she commented.
“Thank you, ma’am.” I replied.
Around eight thirty, the music began playing, and a few couples braved the dance floor. I danced once with Kate and noticed that Shelby stared at us the entire time. I’m sure by now she knew who Kate was and how we had met. Every now and then, I would think about Shelby and wonder what went so wrong. About that time, Kate leaned into my ear and whispered.
“My ex-husband is here, sitting at one of the tables in the back. He must be working in the financial field now. He keeps staring at me.”, she giggled.
“Uh, Kate, news flash... all of the men are staring at you.” I laughed.
“Yeah, I noticed that.” she said, winking at me.
It was a little after nine thirty when Come Away with Me came on, sung by Norah Jones. I was just about to ask Kate to dance when Jennifer showed up at my table.
