“According to this document,” Jonas said, holding up the letter from the court, “Jose is competent.”

 

Riley gasped and said, “Let me see that,” as she took the document from him.

 

“That means that we can‘t make decisions for him unless he allows us to or unless he‘s on child support, and even then, if he‘s married by the time that something horrible happens to him to put him on child support, God forbid, it‘s his wife that has to make that decision for him.”

 

Kelly leaned closer to Riley with both arms on the table and said, “That won‘t happen if our future relationship becomes serious and I marry Jose. That decision will be too hard for me to make, since by that time I will be hopelessly in love with him, so in that case, I would sign a document stating that should something like that happen to Jose, you will make that decision.”

“Are you falling for him?”

 

“Yes,” Kelly said, shedding tears, “I do. I just met him and I‘m already thinking about a future with him.”

 

Jonas took the liberty to give her a big hug.

 

Meanwhile, Jose was outside playing with Jonathan and Levy. They were playing fetch. Suddenly, Kelly went outside through the back door of the house and called the dogs over by their names. She was so good at this that without knowing her, they came to her immediately. She started training both of them at the same time. In a matter of hours, they learned three commands. Kelly had to go now because she had training for the puppy of a famous band scheduled two hours from now, and she had to take a shower and get a change of clothes.

 

Jose walked Kelly to her house. It was five blocks away from Jose‘s house. It was a three-story mansion. Her parents and her sister lived with her because they went through a rough time and had to sell their house. Luckily, Kelly had just started earning millions when that happened. They moved to a two-story house, but suddenly, they learned the hard way that a two-story house was not big enough because Kelly‘s twenty-year-old sister, Kendra got pregnant and she and her boyfriend got married a few months before their baby was born, so they moved to that three-story house that had nine bedrooms, three bedrooms in each story. Kelly would get married one day, and she would want to stay home with her family. There was no celebrity that this family didn‘t know. Kendra and her husband, Brian was working at the moment.

 

As Kelly and Jose went into the mansion, she said, “So this is my house.”

 

“I‘m beyond impressed,” he said looking around him. “How much money do you make, if you don‘t mind me asking?”

 

“I‘ve made three hundred thousand dollars in one day because I charge…” Jose interrupted her. “Wait a minute,” he said, astonished. “What?”

 

“I charge one hundred thousand dollars per dog.” “How much do you charge regular people?”

 

“The one hundred thousand dollar charge is not for all celebrities, though. That‘s only for Hollywood superstars because that‘s chump change for them. They usually spend that and much more on a daily basis. It‘s not uncommon to hear that X celebrity went on a one-million-dollar shopping spree.”

 

“How much do you charge singers?”

 

“I charge them ten thousand dollars. For instance, I have HX2 coming over in about one hour and forty-five minutes, and I‘m only charging them eight thousand dollars.”

 

“Nice,” said Jose. “I guess I better go. I don‘t want to take any more of your time.”
