Chapter Eleven

“She’s been fed and she had an afternoon walk, but if you can take her out for twenty minutes when you stop by, that would be great.”

I gather my purse and keys as I finish up the instructions with Ms. Pac-Man’s regular dog-sitter/dog walker/dog trainer. I hired Wednesday Logan when we adopted Ms. Pac-Man and I’m also the one who attended every dog training session and implemented the instructions. But who’s counting? Oh, wait. I am.

“Can you be sure to leave an invoice for me on the kitchen table?” I add as we chat on the phone. “I left cash for you already, but if you can leave an invoice that would be great.”

“Absolutely,” Wednesday says. “I can’t wait to see Ms. Pac-Man again.”

“And don’t forget if you run into Michelangelo, stay far away.”

“The horny pug, right?”

“Yep. She growls at him every time. But it’s totally his fault. He tried to hump her once and she’s not into that.”

“Of course not. She’s a lady dog.”

“Exactly.”

I end the call and meet Hayden to catch a bus to Fillmore, since Julia has decided we need a Girls Night Out and we’re meeting her at the Tiki Bar, a loungy-bar with tapas and big, fiery drinks. She said the place is usually packed with young, hot men in their early twenties.

I’m wearing my new V-neck Macbeth shirt, a short flowy skirt, and a pair of red heels with a buckle strap. The whole ensemble can be had for under $100 and I shared the shopping details with my viewers last week. Our stop is a few blocks away from The Tiki Bar, so we get off the bus and walk the rest of the way. My phone chirps from my purse and I answer it.

“Hey, it’s Chris.”

“Hey there. What’s going on?”

Hayden instantly looks back at me. She might as well have boy radar. She can glean within nanoseconds when you’re talking to a guy. Well, any good girlfriend can. It’s in our DNA. It’s a requirement.

“So I guess if we’re really going to be partners in crime, I need to send you a photo to post, huh?”

“Of course. You have to play by the rules.”

We cross the street, Hayden deliberately staying two steps ahead. This pace is part of our DNA too; we are genetically programmed to give a fellow girlfriend the two-step spread during guy calls.

“Rules. I do well with rules,” he says, and his voice is super flirty, and it makes me feel melty.

I adopt a sharp but playful tone. “The rule then is you need to send a picture soon. I announced yesterday on the show that I am posting pictures tomorrow night for voting.”

“Oooh, giving me orders already. I like that. Makes me feel like a boy toy.”

“Better watch out, Chris. Soon, I may be asking you to arrive at my house and pretend to be the pool boy.”

“I could totally do a cabana boy look for you.”

“If I had horses you could be a stable boy.”

“Giddy up.”
