She had been living in United States for about a year now. She was still living out of her trust fund that her mother gave her when she went on a business trip to India. She wouldn't be back for at least 3 months, so Mary had the house all to herself. After her dad died they decided to move from Scotland to San Francisco, California. Her mother got a job at the firm Warders. At Warders they worked with different projects around the world. The job in India had come up very urgent and her mother couldn't bar to turn it down. She had leaved Mary the house and the car for her to drive. It wasn't really easy to live by your own but she had managed. The only thing she needed was a job so she could pay for everything. Her mother had giving her some money for food and other stuff. The only problem was that it wasn't enough for 3 more months. She really needed a job. She would start looking tonight at her new friend Lolas place.

She and Lola had become friends 2 weeks after they had moved in. She was 4 years older then Mary and lived in her own apartment 2 blocks away from the house. They had spent their days at the beach since then and at night on a club where Lola was a bartender. Mary was what it seemed Lola's only girlfriend because there were always just guy friends that Mary had met. It was fun for sometime but doing the same things all the time didn't work very well for her.

She locked the door behind her and put the key in the flowerpot that stood by the door. The flower pot was very important to her, her father had made it when he was sick. It was dark outside and the only light came from the streetlights, she walked very fast not because she had to, just because she always did. After a few minutes she could see Lola's apartment. When she reached the entrance she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and there was a dog coming against her. She bend down to the dog that couldn't be more then a puppy and it started licking her hand and wagged his tail. She then heard another noise this time it came from the left where a man came against her. He was in his mid 20's and had brown hair. When he came closer she could see his very clear blue eyes. He looked at her and before he open his mouth he looked down at the dog and then up at her again.

Did she bother you? He asked.

No it is fine I love dogs! They are the best thing after humans, she could hear how silly it sounded.

Good, she often becomes very aggressive to new people, usually just respond like that to me. It is really weird actually, he said and took the dog lead out of his pocket and put it on the dogs necklaces.

I didn't noticed she came up to me and licked my hand she wasn't aggressive at all. She is beautiful!

Thank you! I bought her 1 month ago, she has grown very fast since then, he smiled at her and reached out his hand.

I am Bash by the way

She took her hand and put it in his.

I am Mary.
