Aaron spent most of the weekend trying to get used to having a cat. Lisa had been right—Dinah was calm, quiet, and typically preferred to do her own thing. She only came up to him wanting attention a couple of times so he pet her the way Keeley demonstrated. She seemed to like it. The picture of Keeley with a kitten perched on his arm got the honor of being his phone's home screen but he set one of Dinah sleeping in a bathroom sink as the lock screen. He scrolled through his camera roll, noticing…

Valentina was rather curious about Keeley's supposed telenovela idea and had questions. "Where's the childhood sweetheart now? Is she still trying to seduce the heir even though he's not married to someone else?" Keeley didn't have a clue what Lacy Knighton was up to. In fact, she didn't even know for sure if Aaron was single. Surely his parents had engaged him to some prominent person's daughter by now. "I haven't come up with the idea for that part yet. I was mostly wondering what viewers would…

Keeley helped Aiden bring it upstairs and set it on a table in his second bedroom that housed a ridiculous amount of technological equipment she didn't even recognize. "Do you really want to keep a hamster tank in here with all this…stuff?" He nodded. "Yeah, I spend most of my time in here. It'd be cool to have the company." "What do you do in here?" she asked curiously. "Video games, mostly. I also do some IT stuff from home…and my girlfriend lives in Sweden so we video chat a lot as we…

The ride was called the Twister and consisted of these pods meant for up to four people that spun around hanging from something that looked kind of like a crane. There was a disc in the middle that could be turned to spin faster. Aaron really didn't want to ride it but Keeley looked so excited. "Oh, we used to love this ride!" she gushed. "We?" he asked grumpily. Did she seriously take him to a place she used to go with another man? She raised her eyebrow at him. "Yeah, Kaleb and me."…

When they returned to his apartment, Keeley informed him that it would be best to introduce Dinah to the house slowly so she wouldn't be overwhelmed by the large space. Aaron let her loose in the room where he set up all of the cat things. After sniffing around for a few minutes and eating a little from the food bowl, Dinah jumped up into the hammock and fell asleep. "My work here is done," Keeley announced, clapping her hands together. "Take me home now." Now? It was only lunchtime. He hadn't spent…

Aaron peered into the window of a cat room with a slight degree of interest while he waited for Keeley to come back with a shelter employee. Most of them were sleeping. How much did cats sleep anyway? He had no idea. Truthfully, he had never even entertained the idea of getting a pet before he thought it might be away to get Keeley to like him more. What do you even do with them? Before today, he had never so much as petted a cat. He hated admitting ignorance but he had noticed that Keeley was the…

Aaron was having a wonderful Saturday. The sun was shining, the air smelled sweet, and most importantly, he had Keeley's undivided attention. Well, sort of. It was the most attentive she had been since he was reborn. She asked him questions, went off on tangents while talking just like she used to, and even laughed! It was the first time she did that in his presence since the Millenium Falcon sonnet. Aiden deserved a bonus for presenting this idea; it was working splendidly already. One thing that…

Keeley got a cart and started piling things into it, explaining as she went. She chose a self-cleaning litter box because a) Aaron could afford it and b) she knew he hated being inconvenienced. The poor cat would be better off not facing his wrath at the indignity of scooping poop personally. She also chucked a variety of toys such as lasers, balls, little tunnels, feathers attached to a stick, and electronic toys that could be turned on and left alone for a while into the cart. The fanciest silver…

Keeley was not in a good mood as she waited in front of the fake apartment building she had Aaron drop her off at before. It was 9 AM on a Saturday, which would have been bad enough already, but she had overslept trying to get rid of her hangover and didn't have time to do any homework at all until after work. She ended up working herself to the bone to turn everything in before it was due at midnight, not even having time to eat dinner. It all got finished but at a serious cost. Then she was awake…
-
Aaron had been having such a good day until these two clowns burst into his office. He was still basking in the slight bit of warmth Keeley showed him over breakfast yesterday. Aiden's nosiness was to be expected but what was Cameron doing here? Unless…that brat, he totally told him. Cameron hadn't known anything about Keeley because it wasn't necessary information for him to accomplish his job. "She said thank you non sarcastically and smiled at me," he answered them. "Happy?" Aiden furrowed…
