Three Meows (Monsters For Her)

Chapter One

“ A nd you have everything?” My father fussed through the phone. “Are you sure you don’t want a maid? Or a bigger place? And that car you took… you know we have better ones.”

“Yes, yes, we have been over this, dad.” I rolled my eyes, relishing in the gesture even if he couldn’t see it. “I’m perfectly fine with what I chose.”

After we said our entirely too-long goodbyes I was happy to end the call. I loved that man, but there was a reason why I chose to study several states away from him. I wanted to try life without his overbearing mother-henning presence and millionaire reputation hanging over me.

My eyes roamed over the flat with satisfaction. It wasn’t very big, but just perfect for only one person. The previously boring interior came to life with the little accents I brought with me; scattered knickknacks and decorations added color and interest. The space finally looked like it was mine.

In this city, new friends and opportunities awaited. I was ready to welcome them with open arms.

What I didn’t expect was a cat.

Or rather three cats.

And their handsome owners who just happened to be my neighbors.
