“You’re kidding, right?”
“No, maybe you can milk some of those rich people for money. You told Elisha you wanted to buy the old Bradley property on Crestwood Drive,” he says.
“I guess. But right now, I just want to go home, put on pajamas and go to sleep,” I say with a yawn as Bastian pulls up to my apartment. I laugh when I see Felipe in the window.
“Why do you own a horse? He’s totally impractical,” Bastian scoffs as he parks the car.
“So are those leather shoes that you’re wearing, yet you have them on anyhow,” I tease as I open the door. “Thanks for the ride,” I add with a wave as I head up to my apartment.
I open my door and am greeted by total destruction.
“Felipe!” I screech. Then I look around and let out a groan. He’s completely trashed my apartment. Pieces of fluff from my pillows lie on the sofa. He’s managed to knock over a small bookshelf and books are strewn everywhere. He’s chewed up a wooden spoon and the plastic handle of a saucepan.
He stops chewing on the pillow he has between his paws and tilts his head as if surprised to see me.
“Buddy! What the hell?” I say as I start picking things up.
My phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket. “You got home alright?” Adam asks before I can speak.
“Uh, yeah, why?” I ask with a frown.
“Just making sure. Bastian said he waited till you were inside, but I know you have to go up the stairs and I just wanted to make sure…” He trails off.
I huff as I pull out a garbage bag and start throwing things away, things I can’t afford to replace. I groan when I hear a vibration.
I turn my head and drop the phone, running to grab my vibrator out of Felipe’s mouth.
“Drop it!” I yell.
Felipe thinks it’s a game and goes running through the apartment with my pink rabbit vibrator in his mouth. “Felipe! So help me! Drop the vibrator or I will turn you into a rug!”
I look around and see his favorite chew toy and pick it up. Felipe immediately drops the vibrator and runs to me, grabbing the red toy and settling at my feet.
I race back to my phone and pick it up. “Sorry about that,” I say as I catch my breath.
“Is everything alright over there?” Adam says in an amused voice.
“It’s…sort of. Felipe got bored and destroyed my apartment,” I state as I go to grab my vibrator which now has teeth marks all over it.
“Ew,” I mutter, turning it off and dropping it in my drawer. I’ll deal with that later. I don’t have money to replace it. Elisha bought it as a birthday gift and I looked it up, that thing is like one hundred dollars. Itwasmy favorite one. Anyhow, it’s amazing and I’m so worked up, I could really use it right now.
“Stupid dog,” I huff.
“That does not sound OK,” Adam says.
“I’m sorry. I’m just going to get cleaned up and go to bed. This was not how I wanted my evening to end,” I explain.
“I’ll see you tomorrow evening, Isa. Sweet dreams,” Adam says.
“Goodnight,” I reply as I disconnect. I toss the garbage bag down. And take off my dress, hanging it carefully in the closet and making sure the door is closed so Felipe can’t destroy it. Then I shower and head to bed. Maybe a good night of sleep will fix all my problems.
CHAPTERSEVENTEEN
Adam
I’ve been pacing in my office for three hours. I decided to pick Isa up myself today.
“Hey, how was the gala?” Bastian asks as he knocks at the same time, he pokes his head inside my office.
