The Girl At His Door [Parts I & II]

Chapter-12

  MERCURYS POV.

The house was right on the beach.

Also, it was huge.

  It had a beautiful white color, but it had a slightly chipped look, making it look less like a mansion, and more like a beach house.

  "My babies!" Penny ran outside.

She went around, giving tight hugs, but stopped for a second as she got to Gino.

"What the hell happened to your head?"

"Your sons a dick." Was his curt answer.

"Were you talking about his driving?"

  "Maybe."

"You did it to yourself then. Now, get inside. Mercury let me show you to your room."

She was quick to usher me inside after that.

The inside was just as beautiful in the outside, with white everything, and seashell accents.

     "This room has one of the best views." She told me as she opened the door.

It was huge, just as I thought it would be.

The walls were cream colored, and the bed was the lightest blue with, of course, white pillows with shells printed on them.

But what really caught my eye was the large, open door patio, overlooking the ocean.

"Wow." I breathed.

"Told you." She chuckled.

I forget about everything, and walked into the calming sea breeze.

I could get used to this.

"Now, get your bathing suit on. Our first day here, we always lounge by the pool."

"There's a pool?"

I stretched in my chair as I felt the sun hit me.

Why am I always freezing?

"Mercury?" I heard Gino whisper as he shook me out of my meditation.

"What?" I whispered back.

"Do you want to help me pour this bucket of water in your dad?"

I cracked opened my eyes to see a large bucket in his hands.

"Hell no. He would drown both of us."

"He wouldn't drown you."

"You're right. He would just drown you."

"So you'll help?"

"No."

"Fine."

Angelo himself was also laying in the sun, on the opposite side of the pool.

It was pretty weird seeing the both of the without formal suits on.

Was I thoroughly disgusted when the neighbors began to stare at my father? Yes. The answer will always be yes.
