his hands, and tossed it from the floor out of the open window. Jacob chased after it, but sitting on the window ledge, he decided the jump wasn’t worth the prize. Glaring at Adam, the two of them formed a mutual respect. I assumed Jacob felt any human that was that dedicated to saving a toad deserved a little slack. And I think Adam was just impressed at Jacobs’s determination for eating it. Either way, it made my life a lot easier.
Walking over, I gave the little guy a tickle behind the ear. Jacob, not Adam. Though I’m sure Adam wouldn’t have minded the attention.
“Who’s going to look after Jacob while I’m gone?”
Adam looked up and smiled at me. “I’ve got it covered. Your gran is going to stay here while we’re gone and cat sit.”
I gawped at him. “My gran? Are you nuts? I have to go hide some things!”
Catching my elbow, Ness shook her head. “No time. Cab is on its way. Say goodbye to Jacob, and let’s go!”
Flinging open the front door, she marched merrily down the stairs. I glanced back at Dana who simply shrugged, gave Jacob a quick fuss, and followed Ness out.
“Adam, please don’t make me do this.”
He smiled and stood beside me, throwing his arm around my shoulder, and taking my case in his free hand.
“It’s going to be fine. You’ll see. I’ll take this down and meet you at the car.” Giving me a quick wink and a peck on the forehead, he left. I sat on the sofa next to my bewildered cat.
“There’s no easy way to tell you this. We’ve been dumped, ditched, and now we’re being subjected to hell on Earth. I have to admit, yours is worse. Just stay out of her way, and try not to bring home any nasty surprises. I’ll only end up blamed for them, and you’ll end up neutered. I think we can agree that you like your balls as much as I like my peace and quiet. Do we have a deal?”
He gave me a look that suggested he had somewhat understood my predicament, but with a sigh and a snuggle, he simply turned over and began cleaning his crotch. Great. Even the males in the feline world were neglecting me for their genitals! Maybe I needed this holiday more than I thought.
Chapter 5
The taxi ride from the airport to the park seemed to take forever. Dana and Ness had spent the entire flight and now the short drive to the hotel, pouring over the itinerary for the next four days. Yes, four days with two princesses bigger than any that Disneyland had to offer. Adam gave me a sympathetic smile from across the table. Rolling my eyes, I fumbled mindlessly with the styrofoam cup, which had contained a bitter espresso that promised to ‘perk me up,’ but was so far falling flat. It’s not as though I wasn’t grateful to them, but this really wasn’t the trip to the Magic Kingdom I had originally been planning on taking.
Ness and Dana had booked us an amazing long weekend for my hen party. They’d each arranged specific challenges and had even bought us princess outfits. I wasn’t thrilled at the idea of wearing an enormous ball gown on a rollercoaster, but it did sound like a good bit of fun. And now, I’m going to spend my time there wallowing over my broken engagement and suffering the high-pitched squeals of my two twenty-six, going on twelve year old, friends.
“Oh, Oh! I can see the castle from here! This is going to rock,” Dana squeaked while bouncing animatedly up and down in her seat.
“Will you act your age for five minutes? God, it’s like travelling with a ten year … Oh my God, look at that hotel!”
Ness’s attempt to seem sophisticated and unaffected by the lure of the fantasy world was not as convincing as she’d hoped. As we approached the New York-themed hotel, even I had to admit it was a little awesome.
Ness and Dana practically leapt from their seats and hurried in to the hotel, leaving Adam and I to pay the taxi and collect our bags. Typical.
Hauling the bags from the trunk, Adam raised an eyebrow at me.
“Well, this is going to be an
