“Off! Get off my bed, you bastard!”
Flash stopped and stared me down. Daring me to take him on.
“Oh, you think I’m kidding?”
His front legs jetted out as he got into position and shook his ass.
“Think you can take me?”
His loud bark was answer enough for me. I lunged, prepared to take his ass down…only he moved at the last minute and somehow I flew completely over my bed, and landed on the floor with a loud grunt.
Rolling over, I looked up at him peeking over the side of the bed. Is he…smiling at me? “I think I broke my ribs.”
Another answering bark.
“Is that all you know how to say, for fuck’s sake?”
Flash whimpered, then did some weird growl.
I sat up, and Flash took that as a hint to jump off the bed. His back paw landed right on my crotch.
With a grunt, I fell into a fetal position, experiencing the most extreme pain I’d ever felt. “Never. Can. Have. Kids. Now.”
Flash ran out of the bedroom as I slowly got on all fours and crawled out to the living room. Once I felt like I could breathe again, I stood.
The little bastard was standing at his food bowl, wagging his tail.
Shooting him a look that clearly said I hated him, I asked, “You want your breakfast?”
He barked three times.
“Well, tough shit. I’m having coffee first, and then I’ll get your breakfast.”
The doorbell rang, and Flash took off toward it, barking the entire way.
“Go away!” I cried out.
It rang again. I heard a muffled voice say something, and that cued the demon to start jumping on the door like mad.
“Flash—down! Bad dog. Sit!”
He immediately sat. Wow. Okay, so maybe he is smart…when he wants to be.
Peeking through the peephole, I jumped back in shock.
Rory.
With a wide smile, I opened the door and got ready to say something flirty, when suddenly Flash took off down the corridor.
“Flash! No!” Rory yelled out as she took off after him. It took me about five seconds to decide if I wanted to let him go or if I wanted to go after him. I decided I liked my job too much to let him go. But just as I was about to chase after them both, Flash came charging around the corner, with Rory hot on his paws.
I stepped out of the way as he raced in and went right to his food bowl. Rory stopped at my door and giggled. “I told him he would get a treat, so he headed back to your place. He’s so smart!”
“Good morning to you too, Rory.”
Her eyes lit up, and I couldn’t help but notice how my chest tightened. Her gaze roamed over my body. “Looks like you just woke up.”
With a huff, I motioned for her to come in as I headed to the kitchen. “I did. And let me add that I woke up with Flash in bed with me.”
