Chapter Three

Oke and Ipo's Story

Beck stepped out of the shower, feeling so much better. Cat was right; the 14 hour flight took a toll on him and his body. He put the towel in the hamper in his bedroom and fixed his bed up. They gave him a king size bed, but the mattress was a little hard, so he planned on getting those expensive foam mattresses tomorrow. For now, he just wanted to enjoy tonight with Cat. He missed her so much, it was unbelievable. It was one thing seeing her on his computer screen when they talk through webcam, but it's another seeing her in person to make sure she's healthy and taking in her smile he missed seeing every day before they went their separate ways.

When they graduated, Cat's aunt had suddenly passed away, leaving Cat her business in Hawaii for dog clothes and supplies, so Cat took it immediately and the gang threw her a big going away party and she was gone.

Only weeks later, Beck had a job offer in New York for a movie stunt double, thanks to his father's connections, and moved there, staying there.

Tori had gone and grabbed herself a gig with her sister in Las Vegas, being one of the most seen singers in the town that never sleeps. Trina, on the other hand, snagged a comedy act, which was popular as well.

Jade went to England to be director's assistant for a movie, which she did quite well at.

Robbie stayed in LA, working at Night Clubs with Rex as his act. On weekdays, he taught at Hollywood Arts.

Andre was currently on a World Tour thanks to his 2nd album. He had sent Cat an email, saying he was going to be in Maui for 3 days in a few weeks, so she invited him to stay at her house, which he immediately said yes to, excited to eat a home cooked meal and see a familiar face.

Beck grabbed his cell phone off his charger and sat on his bed, texting Cat.

-What are you doing?-

-Hey! We are at the Dog Massage Parlor because Ipo broke a nail when some lady ran over her paw with a shopping cart at the store. Poor baby was in pain.-

-I bet! Is she alright?-

-She's going to have a bandage on her paw for a few days, but otherwise, she's fine :) are you up and showered? Feeling better?-

-So much better! That nap and warm shower never felt so great!-

-Ha ha, I know right? So we bought some hamburger patties and buns, along with condiments, if you wanted to make hamburgers tonight?-

-Yes, that sounds so yummy right about now-

-Yay! I grabbed some sodas and chips too. Do you need anything before we get back home?-

-Just to see you guys :) when do you think you'll be here?-

-Hmm, probably maybe a half an hour.-

-Perfect. See you then.-

-See you!-

Beck couldn't wait to spend time with his redhead friend. He couldn't believe how much he was so lonely and depressed in New York. He didn't realize it until the moment he was offered the job to move over here and see Cat again. He wasn't alone anymore. He had someone that loved him and actually care about if he was alive or not.

The feeling never felt so wonderful.

"Here is your babygirl, Miss Valentine." Veronica, Cat's personal dog groomer said as she put the injured Chihuahua on the counter. "Am I still going to see my babies tomorrow afternoon?"

"Of course." Cat smiled. "You'll probably meet my friend who just moved here from New York."

"Oh, yes, you mentioned him last time." Veronica nodded. "How is adjusting to the warm weather?"

"He absolutely loves it." Cat told her. "I wouldn't be surprised if he already wasn't down at the beach or swimming in his pool. The last time he touched an ocean or pool was when he visited a few months ago."

"I couldn't stand to live in freezing weather all the time!" Veronica exclaimed. "I love Hawaii and I'm staying right here until the Lord comes down and takes us all away! Speaking of the Lord, you're coming to Bible study tomorrow night as well?"

"Yes, yes, I am." Cat opened her large purse and Ipo went inside and laid down, tending to her injured paw, and then picked up Oke into her arms. "Thanks again for taking care of Ipo on such short notice! See you tomorrow!" Cat waved goodbye to Veronica and everyone else she knew in the place and walked out of the salon that was for humans and dogs. She put her purse in the backseat and helped Ipo out. She buckled the pups into their harnesses and seatbelts, to keep them safe and then entered the front seat. The traffic was horrid, but she didn't mind.

Hawaii was paradise.

Cat walked over and opened Beck's front door since he left it unlocked and the pups went right in, bathing suits on just in case they wanted to get in the pool. "Beck, I'm here!" She called out, going to the kitchen and placing the grocery bags in the kitchen. "Beck?" Suddenly she heard a two small splashes and went into the backyard, where the doors were wide open. She laughed when she saw Beck rising out of the pool's water and trying to get his hair out of his face. Ipo and Oke were already in the pool with him.

"Hey, beautiful!" He waved to Cat and then started playing with the pups. Cat shook her head at their silliness as she started the barbecue. Soon Beck came out of the pool and walked up to Cat, running the towel through his hair to help dry off. He put the towel on the railings and came over to the redhead who already had the patties on the grill. "You know how to barbecue?"

Cat giggled. "Beck, I've been living alone for the past 3 years, so trust me, I know how to do a lot of things now." Cat sighed. "You have no idea how nice it is to know you're here."

Beck wrapped his arms around her from behind and she leaned into him. "I feel the same, trust me."

Cat turned the patties over and then turned to Beck with tearful eyes. "It's just been so awful not having anybody around, you know? I love Oke and Ipo, I really do…but…sometimes…" She had to look away.

Beck could tell she just had an empty heart from being in total solitude for such a long time. "You need someone who can talk back." Beck kissed her head. "I know, Cat. I know."

Cat and Beck sat by the pool, with their feet in the water and their plate of food and drinks right next to them. The pups were asleep from exhaustion on a towel by them. Cat giggled. "I think they are a bit tired from such a long day."

"I'm guessing so." Beck looked back at Cat. "You rescued them, right?"

Cat nodded. "Yes. My neighbor- our neighbor volunteers at the SPCA here in Maui. She asked me if I could come in and take a look at two puppies that were harshly abused and tortured by their former owner, who had major physiological problems. Since I lived alone, I said okay." She looked teary eyed again. "I went there the next day and she showed me the puppies…they were horrifying. I was scared that they may not live. They were just fur and bones. Beaten and afraid. I know Chihuahuas naturally shake, but those two were shaking from fear and pain. Their eyes so scared."

"Oh my god." Beck breathed out.

"I immediately adopted them and took them home, bathed them, and nursed them back to health. I took them to work with me to keep an eye on them. I clothed them to give them comfort, bought them cozy beds from the store, and put medicine on their wounds every day." Cat gave him a small smile. "One day, they were actually moving around like puppies would and not afraid anymore. They healed up physically and emotionally. You know, some people may think that dogs are just dogs, that have no thoughts or feelings, but they do. They are sensitive living creatures that just want love and to protect you."

Beck put an arm around Cat's shoulders. "You saved their lives."

"I did." Cat sighed. "I wouldn't take back that sudden decision for the world. It's devastating to think that there are hundreds and hundreds of dogs out there that have been abandoned or abused and are left to rot in the pound. It makes my heart bleed. I want to rescue them all, but I obviously cannot."

Beck thought about it. He lived alone. He had a job that only needed him a few hours in a few days out of the week. Maybe… "I think I may adopt a dog." He nodded. "Yeah…I want to rescue a dog."

Cat smiled brightly. "Really? You mean that, Beck?"

"I do." Beck grinned. "I want to save a life."

Cat gave him a big hug after that.
