I am exhausted, and I really want to take a shower before my parents arrive.

Every store the driver took me to today was outlandishly expensive, and I feel like I have spent way too much of Alex’s money. If it weren’t for the occasional text praising me for spoiling myself and more promises of him spoiling me later, I probably would’ve stopped hours ago.

Alex

Fuck cerecita

You know I’m in a meeting

I’m sorry I interrupted

You never interrupt!

But now all I can think about is tearing that off you

Wear that for me tonight.

And buy two, because you won’t be wearing that one again

Looking at the price tag, I swallow hard.

One thousand and ninety-five dollars.

He’s crazy.

Fuck…you might not make it through dinner

Alex! My parents are going to be there!

I’ll see my dirty little girl soon

Certifiable even.

Knowing I won’t have time to put all these clothes away, I shove it in the back of the closet when I get back to the penthouse. I take a quick shower, my hair pulled up so I don’t have to wash it. As I’m drying off, I hear my phone ding.

MOM

Sweetheart we’re going to be early

Dad insisted we leave early but we made great time on the Cross Bronx

We’ll be there in 30 minutes

Fuck, Alex isn’t supposed to be home for another hour. I don’t think I can take this inquisition on my own.

OK see you soon.

I pull up my favorites and call Alex. No answer.

ALEX

Still in a meeting dirty little girl

Can you leave early?

Ending my meeting and leaving now

You don’t want to know why?
