Chapter Fourteen
Bandit watches me from his spot on my bed as I sort through my closet, trying to find something suitable to wear for my date tonight. The new dog bed and toys that I bought him earlier today go unnoticed as he sprawls out over my comforter.
His new food and water bowl are downstairs in the kitchen and out of everything that I bought for him today, those bowls and the treats are the only thing that heâs paid any attention to.
Teller had brought Bandit back to me this afternoon after he had finished fixing up one of the cabins next door and my heart had melted slightly when I saw how sweet he was with my dog.
Iâve decided to do what my mom obviously wanted me to do and try to let people in. Iâve already started it with Lyla, Madelyn, and Iris. Even me telling all of them about my mom dying and the bucket list was more than I would have shared before I got to Destiny Falls.
Iâm going to go with the flow where Teller is concerned. Iâm sick of fighting my attraction to him, tired of being alone. Maybe if things get serious, we can try a long-distance relationship or I can convince him to move to Boston with me.
I trust Teller. Heâs proven himself to be a good guy, and I know that he would never do anything to hurt me.
âWhat do you think, Bandit?â I ask him, pulling the dark blue dress out.
The dog barely glances at me and I sigh, deciding on the dress and my comfortable flats. Iâm not sure what weâre going to do on our date tonight, but the dress feels low-key and also dressed up for whatever he has planned.
Stan has agreed to watch Bandit for tonight. Iâm not sure if heâs warming up to the dog or if heâs just trying to encourage me dating Teller instead of Chet.
Teller should be here in a few minutes, so I hurry through putting on some makeup and tying my hair up into a high ponytail.
âCome on, boy,â I call and Bandit hops down from the bed happily, following me back downstairs and into the living room.
Stan is set up in the living room and Bandit heads over and hops up on the arm of his recliner. Stan side-eyes the dog but doesnât say anything.
âAre you sure that youâre okay watching him tonight?â I ask as I slip on my shoes.
âYeah, weâll be fine.â
Teller pops up behind me in the doorway, and I smile when I see that heâs changed into a button-down shirt and a pair of black dress pants. His hat is still backward on his head, his unruly black hair curling around the edge.
âHey, I tried to knock, but no one answered.â
âGreat watch dog you got here, Sutton,â Stan quips, and I roll my eyes at him, petting Banditâs head before I leave.
Bandit wags his tail, smacking Stan in the face and I try not to laugh when I see Stan give Bandit a death glare.
