For the past week I’ve been living at my girlfriend’s house watching her parents’ dog while they’re on vacation in the Bahamas. I’m leaving tomorrow so the parent’s friend was scheduled to come grab the dog to bring it to her house for the weekend. I’d met the friend before a few times so it wasn’t going to be a big deal. Just a quick handoff of the pup and his food. Or so I thought…
Its about 1:00 PM this afternoon. She was supposed to come around 2, so I had time to shower. Poor planning on my part because right as I jumped in the shower, she texted me, “On my way to grab Max now :)” She had texted me a few times making some harmless jokes and using smiley faces. As a 22 year old, it seemed like she was flirting with me, but there’s about 30 years of age gap between us so I figured that had something to do with her maybe not understanding that texts can be taken as flirty.
Anyway, I finish showering and dry off. I had just done a load of laundry, so I went to grab my clean clothes and change. What I didn’t know is that she’d already arrived.
