New story! I hope you like it! Please read and review! :)
Nikita loves working in an animal shelter. There are so many animals brought in every day from all over the streets of New York. They all deserve affection and since they don't have a home, Nikita tries to give them as much love as she can.
Nikita walks to work with her Chihuahua, Pedro. The weather happens to be extra nice and sunny today. Something amazing will happen today.
"Morning Nikita!" Alex says as Nikita arrives at work.
"Morning!" Nikita goes into her office and puts her bag down. She removes Pedro's leash. She watches him run around the cages and greet the dogs. She chuckles.
"Nikita! There's a person out front who wants to look around!" Alex yells.
"Got it!" Nikita straights her shirt and leaves her office. She walks behind the front desk and sees a handsome man standing there. "Hi, welcome to Bideawee Shelter. How can I help you today?"
"Hi, I'm Michael. I'm looking to adopt something," Michael replies. He stares at the woman. She's absolutely gorgeous. As soon as he says 'adopt' her face lights up.
"Okay, that's great!" Nikita says. "Something in particular?"
"A dog. That'd be nice."
"Alright, follow me!" Nikita turns and walks into the room behind her as Michael follows closely. The room contains cages and cages of dogs and puppies. He could hear some barks, but mostly whines.
"Wow," Michael whispers.
"I know," Nikita says. "It's sad to think someone could just throw something so precious away." She bends down and picks up Pedro.
Michael looks over at Nikita. She's staring at all the dogs as she pets her own. Michael walks around looking through all the cages. They're all looking back at him. He smiles.
Nikita watches as Michael explores the room and all the dogs. It's beautiful to see people care about these animals. She starts to walk towards him and says, "Any breed or kind you're looking for?"
Michael turns around and glances at her. He looks down at the ground and embarrassingly laughs. "No. I don't know the first thing about dogs."
Nikita laughs with him. "It's okay. There's a first time for everything. What makes you want to adopt one?"
"My friend tells me they make great company," Michael chuckles.
"Well, your friend's not wrong," she smiles and looks down at Pedro. "They're wonderful company."
"Is that one yours?" Michael asks.
Nikita looks back up at Michael and grins. "Yes, this one is mine. I got him not too long ago. Somebody just left him on the street, tied to a pole outside a store."
Michael frowns. "That's awful." He moves closer to her and pets Pedro. "Now he's got an amazing person taking care of him though."
Pedro doesn't move, he just sits in Nikita's arms and enjoys Michael rubbing his head. "I hope so," Nikita whispers and kisses Pedro's hand. She focuses their attention back onto him. "Anyone catch your eye yet?"
Michael walks over to one of the cages with a Husky. The husky has white and grey fur with dark brown eyes. It is only a puppy. "This one."
Nikita smiled and stands next to him outside the cage. "This one is just a couple months old. We found him a couple months ago, in a dumpster." She looks at him with a sad and sympathy filled smile. "Would you like to hold him?"
Michael nodded.
Nikita put Pedro down and opens the cage. She gently grabs the little puppy and hands him to Michael. Michael holds him in his arms and he looks so adorable. "He's just," Michael stops because he's at a loss of words.
Nikita feels so happy seeing Michael so excited about this puppy. She loves when people realize what she sees in these animals. "Perfect?"
Michael looks at Nikita and smiles. "Yeah." Michael glances at his watch and he realizes he's almost late for work. "I have to go or else I'll be late for work. But he's the one I want to take home. I'll be back tomorrow." Nikita takes him back into her arms and puts him back into his cage. The puppy looks up at Michael and whines with his enormous eyes. "I'll come back for you, I promise," he whispers to the puppy.
Nikita nods and they walk back to the front desk. Michael takes a card. He also gets one of his business cards and gives it to Nikita. "It has my name and number on it. Please don't let anyone else take him."
"I promise I won't, but you have to promise me you'll come back tomorrow," Nikita replies. This man really wants that puppy. It makes her happy. It reassures her that he'll have a good home with someone loving to take care of him.
"I will. I promise I will," Michael says.
"I've never seem anyone so happy about adopting before," Nikita laughs.
"He's special," Michael replies. "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help these animals find homes, good homes."
The woman is so kind. Her passion and kindness is incredible. He can't wait to see her again. "I'll see you tomorrow!" Michael says happily on his way to the door. He stops and turns back to her. "I never got your name."
"Nikita," she smiles.
