Chapter 30 - Homecoming

The Dinner went perfectly and after admonishing Gabby, for being too thankful we all enjoyed our meal. I was tired and my body was relaxed. I felt really good like all was well. I took to my computer and put in a large tip to Chris for finding Gabby and put in she was a great fit so far and her skills are amazing. I finished quickly and relaxed watching some business news before bed. I sat back thinking in a daze. Then I heard the doorbell. I was genuinely surprised usually I would get a call and the doorbell was just a warning that they were coming in. I got up and went to the entrance to the penthouse to see my daughter smiling at me.

Victoria dressed in a black robe came down after me to see what was happening to see my daughter in the foyer. "Gloria your here!" Victoria exclaimed and came down while I was still confused. She should still be at Harvard I thought. I didn't let that cloud my judgment and went to hug my daughter who I hadn't seen in a week. She still looks good and looks happier as well.

"How are you, Daddy? I hear you have been enjoying the game." She looks at me with a cheeky grin.

"Gloria," I slightly frown, "Victoria hasn't been telling you what I have been up to correct?" Both looked insulted at that statement.

"I can't believe you Daddy thinking I have been trying to cheat with Victoria to beat you. I can do that on my own." I chuckle only to turn into a laugh.

"Ya right knowing how I know you and Victoria. You have been calling her to see any information you can about the game and me. I have always told you-" She cut me off.

"If you aren't Cheating you are not trying hard enough." I smile at her eye roll.

"That is always True in business military and everything. Do everything you can to take what you want. Being nice get's nobody anywhere. I am a nice guy but that doesn't mean I don't have skeletons in a closet somewhere sweety. Now I know you were coming to visit soon but why come so early?" I finish my mini-rant.

"Yes, Daddy I know, I know although I can think of some examples against that. Like I don't know exams, Relationsh.i.p.s." She earned a glower from me and a deep frown.

"That is not what I mean and you know it." I closed the distance and pinched her cheeks, "You know exactly what I mean and it is not the literal terms of cheating. Now I think we should all leave the foyer and come inside. I think Gabby is resting in her room or setting it up so no Massage tonight but you can talk to her tomorrow and get one."

My daughter's eyes brightened looking at us both. "You have a personal masseuse now?" She looked excited and I nodded. "Yup we do she just moved in yesterday. We also have a Cook in the middle of the process to move in with us as well. No idea who yet but Chris will handle it. Gabby is a nice young woman with amazing hands that send you to nirvana. Trust me try her out tomorrow you won't regret it." I finished as we all sat down late the night on the couches and continued to talk.

We chatted later than we should have before we all called it a night. We were all tired and went to our rooms. Gloria went into her room that I had prepared for her to set up however she wanted. I made it her private area that I would not invade ever since I first adopted her. I still do not know what the inside looked like since I promised her that I would trust her. I did everything I could to show her that the world can be good. I fell asleep to memories of the early years with my daughter as she misbehaved with a smile on my face.

Morning came early and I awoke from dreams with a smile. I moved to get some exercise clothes on and realized I was starting to run out and needed to do some laundry. I had one more day left so I had to throw it in the washer at the least before we got in the pods. I smiled and moved over to the gym in my workout outfit. I met Gabby and Victoria there. Both dressed to workout and tired. we all seemed to want to wake up with moving our muscles when my daughter showed up ready to work out as well. I smiled and we all went in. I turned on some music and we all worked out and helping each other when needed. Everyone was working up a sweat and the smell pervaded the room slowly as we all had sweat stains. No embarrassment could be seen as we were nearing the end.

I finished just after Victoria finished her work out and she went to go make breakfast as I went to the shower. Each room had their own attached ensuite so no lines or awkwardness happened as I took care of business and cleaned up. I got in some nice light clothes down to Victoria who I hugged her while she was working on the frying pan with some eggs.

"Hey, thanks for keeping everything secret. I know you wouldn't break my trust but I still appreciate it." I let go of her and she turned and smiled.

"No worries Rick your trust is something I will refuse to break. You have done too much for me that I can never pay you back." She turned back to finish up as Gabby and Gloria came in looking clean from their showers in light clothing that was more for comfort than fashion. Gabby looked more awkward though. She looked like she did not know what to do with herself.

"No worries Gabby just sit down. Victoria and I have been more or less making it whoever finishes the workout first cooks. We have been pretty much even on this. We are looking for a live-in cook too. Chris who interviewed you is in charge of that so we should see something soon." I finished and help Victoria plate the food passing it around. We all sat down enjoying a nice breakfast together with conversation. Gabby was still loosening up around us but I really couldn't care less at this point at how awkward she felt. It was her first day here having food cooked by her employers of course she was feeling awkward. After the meal, I talked to Gloria to see how long she was going to be staying. I told her before and I will tell her again being in the university gathering more contacts was just as important as the learning itself.

She took my nagging in stride then pushed me to my room. "I get it Daddy go play you need the handy cap." I frowned at her but smiled and told her to enjoy her day. I went into the Pod watching it close around me getting myself ready to log on.
