Spencer
Fuck. The loud incessant shrill of my phone jolts me out of a deep sleep.
Begrudgingly cracking one eye open, I groan into my pillow when I
glance at the clock on the bedside table and see it’s only 5:15 am. It’s a
Sunday, and the only day I get to sleep in. Who the fuck would be ringing
me at this time of morning?

I blindly reach for my phone, unsure whether to answer it or throw it
across the goddamn room. If this is one of my employees, someone is about
to lose their job.
Without even bothering to look at who it is, I bring it to my ear and
answer the call with an abrupt, “What!”
I hear an audible gasp through the line, which is followed by, “Don’t
you dare what me, young man.”
My mother.
I am thirty-two years old, but that knowledge never stops her from
occasionally berating me like a small child.
I blow out a long breath. “Someone better be dead, Mother. It’s five
o’clock in the morning.”
This time she huffs. “What I just saw online has my poor heart racing
and my chest feeling tight. I’m so distraught I’m going to need to take a
Valium once this conversation has ended.”
“Mother,” I growl, narrowing my eyes. Eloise Prescott has always been
a touch on the dramatic side. “Enough with the theatrics. I can guarantee
you are not having a heart attack. Why are you calling me at this ungodly
hour? You know this is my only day off.”
“After the relationship status you were tagged in on Facebook, no less, I
very well could be,” she replies.
I abruptly sit up. Has something happened I’m not aware of? Or have I
fallen victim to the gossip mill once again? It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve
made the headlines of some trashy tabloid for my philandering—as my
mother refers to it—ways.
“What relationship status?”
“That my firstborn son—my only child—is in a committed relationship.
She’s beautiful and I’m very happy for you both … thrilled actually, but
imagine my surprise at finding out this way. I’m your mother, Spencer. I
should’ve been told before the rest of the world.”
I was right. Fuck my life.
