Humphrey's Choice Ch. 2
"We don't get a chance to do that many things, and one should be really excellent. Because, this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it." -Steve Jobs
3 Years Later
Ever since Humphrey has joined Kate's family, he's been getting closer to Kate ever since. Humphrey still just doesn't have a clue in his mind if Kate really does like him more than just a friend.
As the day starts, the gray wolf continues to have dreams of his beautiful best friend Kate. Even if he wasn't adopted by this family, he would have found a way to get closer to the golden wolf, Kate.
Little did he know he was 5 minutes late to his high school class. Having a big smile on the wolf's face, he began to wake up slowly. As his eye lids opened you could see 2 magnificant blue orbs. Humphrey let's out a slow sigh, but happy he had that unique dream of his.
Taking a quick little stretch he twisted his head toward the alarm clock, sitting still on the counter. "Holy crap!" Suddenely he found himself running toward the closet getting out a pair of socks, a t-shirt, and jeans. Just before you know it he was fully dressed, but was having trouble finding his shoes.
Movement filled the room, as he tried to look for his shoes as fast as lightning. Finally after thrashing in his room he found them under his warm soft bed. Placing them on he hopped down the stairs meeting his mother, Eve, sitting down watching the t.v.
This made the young wolf confused, and decided to ask why she wasn't going to work. "Mom, why aren't you at work right now?" Eve turned her head, and smiled.
"Well why are you going to school. You still on school time?" She asked pointing at the calender. Humphrey looked toward the calender, and saw a circle mark on it, as it printed 'First Day of Summer Break'.
Humphrey felt like a fool, that was the reason his alarm clock didn't wake him. "Oh forgot about that," He replied with a nervous smile, as he scratched the back of his head. "So where's Kate?" The gray wolf asked, knowing she might be out with some friends.
Eve stood up from the soft couch, and walked over to his. "Well Humphrey, if you could just look out that window," His mother replied pointing at the window, where it revealed Kate and some of her girlfriends. (Aka friends) "You would find your safe best friend." Eve smiled, and started walking toward the couch once again.
Humphrey walked into the kitchen, and grabbed an apple off the fruit basket. After grabbing the red apple, he washed it in the sink with cold water. Removing the sticker off the apple, he bit into the juicy mouth-watering apple.
Staring out the window, he finally decided to go upstairs to grab his phone, since he forgot about it. Plus it's a good thing he didn't have school, since he also forgot his backpack. Arriving to his heavingly room, he slowly walked toward the computer stand where his laptop sat in place.
He flipped the lid, and type in the passcode, since it automaticly turns on. Humphrey dragged his mouse to firefox, and double clicked opening a viriaty of options. Clicking on the ip address he typed in ' '. (Made that social media up :3)
Once he pressed down enter it popped open a social media, as it revealed pictures. Scrolling down through the pictures, he regained his memory of yesterday. He got drunk yesterday with some friends, and Kate was there as well. Humphrey chuckled at the sight, but with one more scroll he jumped out his chair, hitting the back of his head on the metal bed. The hit made him knock out into pure darkness.
Kate laughed the last time, and bid her friends farewell, as they drove off into the distance. Kate didn't have a single memory about yesterday, as well with Humphrey, but she remembered one blurry picture. She shook her mind of it, knowing it couldn't be true. Hearing a large thud, and afterwards hearing a metal being smashed, she ran inside and her mother just sat there. Eve had the television on blast, which made her hear nothing, but a small clap.
It didn't really matter if she didn't hear, Kate rushed toward Humphrey's room, but before she opened the door she knocked softly. Hearing no answer she slowly opened the door. She wanted to scream, but instead covered her mouth. "Oh my god Humphrey are you alright?" She begged closing the door behind her.
Humphrey layed there unable to open his eyes, or move his body. Kate kneeled down to the gray knocked out wolf, and slowly picked up his whole body. She grunted struggling with the weight of Humphrey. He wasn't fat or anything, but she just wasn't into fitness. Finally with her last ounce of strenght she got him on top of the bed.
After picking up Humphrey, she picked up the rolling chair, and sat on it's comfortable space. Kate let out a sigh, but was happy to see Humphrey laying down looking peaceful. The golden wolf turned her head to the laptop screen, and saw the reason why he flipped out. Her eyes became wide open, as her jaw dropped, and was as pale as a ghost. It was like if she saw a ghost. The picture was of Humphrey and Kate kissing at Garth's house, and in the background Lilly and Garth where kissing ever so gently.
Seeing this, Kate turned her head back to Humphrey, and closed her mouth. Suddenely she felt kinda happy. She smacked herself, and whispered to herself. "No you idiot. Don't think about that about your best friend," The golden wolf just stared at Humphrey, which he layed there on his warm bed. "Maybe this might actually work out." Suddenely Humphrey sprung awake from his black and cold state.
His pure blue eyes scanned the room, until his blue orbs contacted with Kate's golden brown eyes. They both sat their in silence, and just stared into each others eyes. After a couple of minutes Humphrey broke the awkward silence. "Did you see that picture?" Humphrey asked pointing at the picture on the screen.
"Yup I did," Kate replied wanting to leave his room of this awkward situation. "Well I'll be going now." Humphrey agreed, as Kate left the room of her 'first kiss'. "I can't believe I had my first kiss with the person I lived with, but I do like him that way." Kate whispered under her breathe.
Humphrey tapped his head, which felt numb, and found a warm liquid substance. Pulling his hand to his muzzle he found out that the color was crimson. "Ah damn it." Humphrey slowly picked himself off his blue bed, and walked over to the restroom. Still he grabbed the back of his head trying to stop the bleeding.
Opening the handle to the bathroom, he washed out his head. The cool water gently passed through his head, and had him feel relaxed. After sitting there for a few seconds, he turned off the water, and grabbed a soft towel off the towel rack. Smushing it up on his head he tied it tightly, adding pressure.
Getting out the bathroom with the towel still tied his phone started ringing. Grabbing it he answered. "Hello?"
"Aye Humphrey. How was it last night?"
"Oh hey Salty, it was fine."
"I heard you kissed Kate for the first time."
"Well it didn't really count, since we were both drunk, and what do you mean you heard. You where there at the party."
"Yeah I know, but listen come by my house with atleast $100, so we could go to LaRonde. It's an amusment park at Montreal, Quebec. It's a 2 hour ride."
"Alright, but when are we arriving back?"
"Maybe like at 3 in the morning, since 2 hours of coming back, and a few minutes of finding a place to eat. They close at mid-night."
"Okay I'm down to go if my parents let me go."
"Cool just text me, and I'll tell you where we're going to meet."
"Kay." Humphrey hung up, and started heading down stairs. First he took off the silly towel, so he wouldn't look like an idiot, while he was talking. "Hey mom, may I go to LaRonde?"
Eve looked back at me confused. "And what is that?" She replied tilting her head to the left.
"Well it's an amussment park in Montreal, Quebec." Eve let out an 'oh' and replied with something I wasn't expecting.
"Kate is going there as well. Maybe you can drive her there as well." Humphrey nodded his head, making up a lie.
"Sure I'd be my pleasure to take your daughter to LaRonde. I'll make sure she doesn't get into trouble." After that Kate rushed down stairs ready to leave, and she spoke with Eve.
"So mom did you find my driver?" Eve just pointed at Humphrey, and Kate giggled. "Alright let's go driver." Humphrey felt a bit embarrased, but went outside.
Humphrey stood there staring at which car he should drive. "Which car would you like to drive Kate?"
Kate without hesitation replied quick. "Your car of course."
Humphrey got confused at her remark. "My car? I don't have a car." Kate giggled once again, but this time it made Humphrey comfortable.
"I guess they haven't told you." Kate raised the garage, and outside there parked was a red Audi R8, and it shinned in the sun light making it sparkle like heaven.
Humphrey fell down to his knees. "Oh my Jesus Crist." The gray shaded wolf was on the urge of tears. "You have to be kidding me, this is beautiful." Humphrey turned toward Kate, and spoke quickly. "If this is a trick I'm going to kill you."
Kate laughed at Humphrey, as she could see his eyes water with tears. "Nope not kidding, here lets go." Kate tossed Humphrey some keys, which made him sprint toward the vechiel once he caught them.
Opening the door, he sat in the chair. The chair was more comfortable than his bed, this could be his room. "You do know I'm going to paint a picture of the car right?" He asked letting Kate know. Without hesitation, Kate nodded her head, and started walking toward the car.
Turning on the engine, Kate closed the door, and quickly starting riding his new dream car. Humphrey handed Kate his phone, and told her to contact Salty. After doing so, they recieved an address, which they started heading that direction. A few minutes passed, as they continued there talk, they finally made it to there destination. "Alright let's go." They both got out the newly bright red car, and began walking toward Mooch's house.
Knocking at the door, Salty opened the door, and just before he said anything his jaw dropped. "Holy crap dude you got an Audi R8!" Humphrey nodded, as Salty, Mooch, and Shakey left the house. "Dude we're going to ride in this car."
"Alright, but Kate's taking Shotgun." They all whinned, but Humphrey sticked to Kate being in the front.
A few 15 hours later they left the amusment park. "Dude that was loads of fun, we should come back next week." Shakey expressed himself, while he was still pumped.
"Maybe, but I need to drop you guys home." Salty looked at me with an uncomfortable look, but then got the idea. "Oh yeah, before we get something to eat."
Mooch didn't even think on where to eat. "We should eat at a fast food restaurant like KFC."
"Actually I'm really craving for sme KFC, as well." Kate amited. The whole group agreed, and started heading off to the closest KFC around.
An hour passed, and now everyone is asleep in their seats, except for Kate and Humphrey. "So how was your day?" Humphrey began.
"It was fun, but I'm wondering about something."
Humphrey was curious, so he asked. "Wondering about what?"
Kate took awhile to reply, but once she did Humphrey was shocked. "Do you actually have feelings for me?"
Humphrey knew he couldn't lie, so he told the truth. "Yes I do have feelings for you, but..." His mouth closed itself, before he could speak more. Sighing he continued, "I didn't know if you'd like me the same.
Kate let out a small gorgious giggle. "We'll I have feelings for you too." Her voice was so sudicive, and comforting. "Maybe something will happen between us two some day."
Humphrey chuckled, "Well maybe, but I need to drop them off."
An hour and 47 minutes passed, and now all they need to do is get home. The clock read '2:52' so they would be home in two minutes. "We'll speak tomorrow, since I'm tired like hell right now."
Kate nodded, "Same here I agree." Driving off into the distance they arrived home, and they let out a sigh, as both of them said in unision. "Finally we're home."
Getting out the car, and locking it they walked tired to their own rooms, and fell on the bed. Not even 2 seconds passed by before they fell asleep in the warmness of there beds.
So there you have it. The second chapter of Humphrey's Choice. It took me awhile, but I think it was worth my time. I'll start doing my other stories, as well. Also I feel in love with the video game Okami. It's a beast game on my point of view, so yeah :P. Anyways have fun, and thanks for the reviews :3. If you'd like I'd enjoy a review of the story to see how I'm doing. Have a nice day/night.
