“So then are you going to take me to Paris?” Wendy stumbled back. “Because that’s not fair! I wanted—”
“We’ll talk about this later.” Chase frowned. “Go with Lucy. I’ll come to your apartment soon.”
“When?” Wendy placed her hands on her hips.
“In an hour.”
“No, I don’t think so. We’ll be talking in an hour.” Dawn got in front of him.
This is too much drama.
I edged away to where the chauffer was taking out my luggage.
Maybe I could convince him to put my suitcase back in and take me home without anybody noticing.
“When are you going to talk to me?” Wendy whined.
“Then, I’ll talk to you in two hours, Wendy,” Chase said.
“And you’d better have an explanation for the trip!” Wendy stumbled up the pathway to the house.
“I can’t believe you checked where I took Jasmine and then told Wendy.” Chase glared at Dawn. “What happened to your rule about not checking what I do for each of you on your date nights?”
Dawn pointed at him. “You’ve been breaking the rules for the past two weeks. So I figured I would do it, too.”
Lucy walked over to me and whispered, “I’m so sorry about India.”
“No.” I shook my head. “It’s okay.”
Chase and Dawn began to argue, but I couldn’t make out the words.
They both yelled over each other.
My nerves fluttered with unease.
I hated being around fights. I’d been around enough of them during my childhood. Mom always fought with whatever guy she’d been dating. At times they fought all night and none of us could get any sleep. Even worse, our neighbors in South End always dragged their arguments outside of their houses so everyone could see.
“Come on.” Lucy hooked her arm around mine. “Let’s go. Once they get started they won’t stop.”
“You showed Wendy the credit card bill intentionally!” Chase roared. “I try to come here and start us off on the right foot and you’re instigating chaos.”
“She had a right to know what was going on during her day.” Dawn backed up. Her eyes filled with rage.
“It was your damn rule to begin with—”
“Well, you’re breaking the rules. Why can’t I?” Dawn hit her chest.
“Not that again!” Chase stormed off.
“You never do this!” Dawn cried and ran after him. “Never! I told you—”
“Yes! Yes!” Chase raised his hands in the air.
I swallowed.
I won’t make it past a week in this place. I should just turn around right now.
“Don’t worry about your bags.” Lucy tugged my hand. “The chauffer will take them up to your apartment. We each have our own servants. You’ll meet her in the morning.”
