Here’s Mud In Your Eye.

Part 2

 

I rode back with Mom and Dad, Mom asked me if ever got a chance to spend some alone time with Rhoda, I stated not really, she said. “Well, that sucks. Here we planed a nice little honeymoon vacation just the two of you and you get one night out of five to be alone with her.”

Dad said. “The weekends not over yet dear, they may not be able to be in Hotel in Salt Lake City. I think if Landan, Stringum and I could put our heads together we can find a solution to this problem.” We pulled into the driveway of our cabin, as the two officers followed everyone else inside.

Dad said. “Go get your keys son and the bills so we can make a quick copy of them and give them to these fine officers so we can move on with our lives such as it is.” Dad invited them into the house as two officers him and Stringum followed me to my room, Jared was busy wrangling Sparky into his room, hearing a very happy and overly excited bark telling Jared that he was being unfair.

Once inside of my room I quickly gathered the items handing Dad my keys as he took off the car keys off my list of keys I had.  I quickly noted the extra bed in my room next to mine as well as the third desk noticing that boxes that said Greg’s, Mark and Kirk's things waiting to be put up inside my room or just put in here for now with Jody and Kerry still here. 

Dad said. “Give me a chance to make a quick copy of these receipts and you can take them to the Judge. I will be calling to make sure he has them. I will have you sign a form stating my son and I have given these to you. We have learned the hard way not to trust anyone.” They blinked as Dad accused them of being dirty, but they agreed.

They soon left as Dad escorted them to their car and off our property. Stringum was mad as hell and he had every right to be. He soon calmed down taking a seat on the couch as Mom made us all some hot chocolate as she worked around the men installing some kitchen equipment that Chef Mack insisted he needed. 

Like a huge state of the art 12 racks double oven, a small steamer, and a counter-top steam kettle that we use in his kitchen. We had workmen all over the place inside our home, installing electrical wiring and extra breaker boxes for the set lighting that was to be installed for filming here. There was even a brand new trailer outside next to us which would house the temporary movie studio sound, lighting, and monitors.

Stringum said taking a seat next to David, and Landan. “This is a fine mess we are in. I have new trainee running the store bumbling about in Santaquin so I will make this meeting quick. So I am not losing my shirt, the longer we sit here. Your three are not too leave this house until I get back. Other than to make sure your stores are ok and things are under control. Then tonight we will go over the evidence of what we have, so we won’t be caught with our pants down. Do I make myself clear?” We nodded and Stringum said. “Good, I should be back around 7 or so.”

Mom said. “Thanks for the warning;” Stringum stopped on a dime then mumbled something then shook off the comment as he opened the door and slammed it shut. Got back into his car, considering his limo driver was sequestered here and wasn’t allowed to be anywhere near Santaquin which was where he was heading. Mom said taking a seat. “I still intend to get what I want so this is what I think we should do. Nate and Rhonda don’t need to be here. Watching paint dry as you boys go over the evidence you have gathered so far.

“Lucy needs someone to babysit so she can spend time with her husband Landan. So we will send Nate and Ronda down to his house with his three boys. Landan and Lucy will take the weekend off and we will return to Salt Lake City. While Mr. and Mrs. Vincent as well Kirk's Mom also takes some much needed time off away from her kids; leaving Jody and Dave as well as Kerry and her husband Tom here to tend the kids.

“Loretta has gone back to pack up her house so she can move here, which she has agreed to take on the duties of our second maid while she is here in our home and working on her thesis to gain her doctors degree in child psychology and behavior, plus work part time at my store now that sales are really starting to pick up. So you see Nate. I have it all worked out. We don’t need Stringum too make all the decision. The Judged stated you aren’t allowed to go outside the boundaries of Heber or Salt Lake City without a police escort.

“It’s too late to have you go back to your hotel and retake your room, by the time Rhoda and Lucy get back with your things being as it is the beginning of the ski season it would seem an impossible task, but Landan can work some magic for the rest of us. So we will just have you stay here in Heber. Plus it will give Stringum a chance to look through all the evidence we have gathered so far and we adults can leave soon after knowing everything is taken care of. Now go down and take Sparky for a walk while I make our arrangements.” I did what I was told, even though it still wasn’t what I had in mind in regards to spending some alone time with Rhoda, but it was better than nothing.

Sparky was more than eager to go for a walk with me, even though it was a*s cold outside. It gave me the chance to really look a Bishop Earls house which was very impressive now that it was completely finished except the minor details where they were working on his indoor pool placing the heavy glass on and the roof where it made so it could be used all year round. Greg met me outside asking me if I had a chance to have the grand tour of his Mom and Dads new home. I shook my head no and called Sparky to me. Greg opened the door as we smelled fresh baked double chocolate chip cookies coming from the kitchen and fresh loaves of bread, and homemade lasagna being made.

Mrs. Earl met me as I removed my shoes at the door not wanting to get dirt and snow on her new carpet. She didn’t mind that I brought Sparky with me. He was accepted in everyone’s home being as he was spoiled and housebroken. Greg said. “I thought Nate would like to have the grand tour.” Everyone had stopped calling me Eric here because it was just too hard to keep switching back and forth. Like I had mentioned my real first name wasn’t used enough… that when they did use it I had to remember it was me it belonged too.

Mrs. Earl said. “That’s an excellent idea, Greg. I was just about to ask him and his family over for dinner now that everyone was home.”

I cringed and said. “That was the plan, but our plans have been changed slightly.”

She said. “Oh, you only have been home an hour.”

 

I said. “My Moms idea really, she was a little upset about how she and Dad had planned little lover’s vacation for me and Rhoda and having it ruined because of my father.” Mrs. Earl stated it was a raw deal. I explained our new plans.

She said. “That sounds like an excellent idea. Edward darling it seems we won’t be needing more than a few servings of lasagna just enough for Landan’s boys and Carrions cabin. If you would call and do a head count I would really appreciate it.”

Edward was the Earls new private Chef. I only met him a couple of times at the worker's kitchen. There was a saying that states never trust a skinny Chef which he was. He was a lot younger then Chef Mack and Chef Philips and taller. Dark brown hair and Ken doll face in perfection as he looked at me with his dark brown eyes and shook my hand. He was wearing a gray muscle T-shirt with his name on it and wearing jeans, which stated he was a private chef and didn’t conform to the rules unless he needed to unless the Earls were having a dinner party.

The kitchen was a wow factor, based on a smaller scale of the crew's kitchen with all the latest and greatest toys at his disposal including a big floor kettle and a counter kettle like we normally use. Plus two stoves and flattop grills and a large fire grill which wasn’t in use. Instead of 1 oven with 12 racks, there were two. Plus a large kitchen island which was his work-space covered with wood counter top with large industrial can opener with space coolers underneath and large rack above it that held spoons and ladles and pans for stove burner cooking. 

Along the wall was where the rest of the pans he would need plus large steamer identical to the one we used in the crew kitchen but only newer. He had small three sinks for washing vegetables and pots and pans. On the far side were two walk-in coolers and large pantry.

The kitchen was closed off to the rest of the house as the wait staff would pick up the plates from the window or the food would be carried to the table from there so they wouldn’t interfere with the kitchen staff. The second room in the kitchen was the dish room with state of the art dishwasher, but half the size of the one down at the crew kitchen. Where I found another boy I didn’t know washing dishes and prepping potatoes in his spare time.

Mrs. Earl said. “Most of the staff is still working down at the crew kitchens until they can disassemble it after the Halloween party and the Gala.  We will be having most of our dinner parties here, so we will maintain a small staff so we can keep feeding those working on the cabins during the winter.”

She moved on as we followed her out the door of the kitchen, and made our way into the main house. It was three times as big as our living room. With large stone fireplace and several pieces of nice comfortable furniture; she said. “This house is divided into two sections. “We call this our party room, normally we will leave it closed off so the heating bill won’t skyrocket, and they were just cleaning the carpets and doing the last of the touch-ups, we will have a temporary wall built and installed where we can remove it when we are entertaining. Then put it back when it is just us. 

“I am told it will look like just another room wall, we hated the idea of putting a large metal curtain up to divide them and Stringum says that they can build walls that can be strong and sturdy and then be able to come apart just by unlocking them and hiding the seams to look like wood columns. In here we will store tables and chairs like they would in a church house and table linen.  Then a large curtain will hide the doors from our guests.”

She walked us to the edge of the wall where you could see down to the pool. Where the men were working hard polishing it and other men were working on the filtration system and the electrical work while others were working installing the several glass walls as well as the lights above it.

On the sides of where the stairs were which a double door was being a hug to separate the main living quarters from the rest, were two bathrooms with said girls and boys. They were three stalls for the boys and 3 urinals with three sinks, basically public bathroom. The girls had 5 stalls and 4 sinks. It all smelled like varnish and fresh paint. The lights were on a motion sensor to save electricity.

We entered the living in quarters which was all downstairs. Where the family room was smaller or looked smaller compared to the living room upstairs. Yet it too was twice as big as the living room they had in Santaquin. Also has a fireplace, with huge screen TV and entertainment center all of it was brand new furniture. It all looked to be made of the finest quality.

There was a door leading outside which was closed off with caution tape, because they were busy getting ready to lay cement outdoor patio, but has been delayed due to the heavy snows. Right now it looked like a great big hole from the outside. Even though the main kitchen and dining room was upstairs; there was second dining room downstairs and a small kitchen to work out of that had everything a kitchen would have, but fitted for a large family like the Earls, but it also had a dumb waiter so the main kitchen could transfer food down here easily.

There were four master bedrooms about half the size of my room each included master bathroom like mine including the huge Jacuzzi tub and shower and large walk-in closet. One room was hers and her husbands, the other two were Chad’s and Cindy’s. The fourth room was a guest room. Timothy and Samantha had their own room and bathroom, plus a bathroom and a regular bathroom for those that were just visiting. Everything else was storage rooms and laundry room.

We made our back to the downstairs dining room and went out the sliding glass doors dogging workman and tools and equipment where she opened a door where there were a small gym and another small room that had two tanning beds and open closet of clean white towels still in their plastic wrappings. The third and fourth room was private changing room and shower and bathroom. She stated she now needs four or five maids to clean this house something she never thought in her dreams of having.

We worked our way back to up the stairs and said. “Well, that’s the whole enchilada which I call the country club grand tour. I’ll send Edward over to your house when you and Rhoda are about to leave. That way you won’t have to cook dinner tonight and spend some quality time together.  I have fond memories of babysitting when Greg’s Dad and I were first seeing each other. We would put the kids to bed and have amazing sex.  Then when their kids got old enough to participate… like Landan’s boys are then we included them as well but saved ourselves for afterward.

“Many times we had to sneak my husband out the back door when the parents come home so they wouldn’t find out. That I had a boy over or sometimes more then one if you know what I mean?” Greg and I smiled knowing exactly what she meant, but this time there would be no sneaking around, in fact, it was the idea that we would be having hot sex, and their parents knew it and highly approved of it. Would have most likely join us if wasn’t for the fact Mom and Dad were making sure they wouldn’t be around the rest of the weekend.
