So I got this idea months ago, I was in Little Caesars with my brother and this random puppy named Honey started pawing at my leg so I gave him some love until his owner (one of the off duty employees) came and got him. The only difference is I changed the breed because I don't know what breed the real Honey was. I just finished it the other day, I kinda forgot about it.
I sigh as I sit back in the uncomfortable, orange plastic chair. I swear, either this is the worst Little Caesars in the world or this girl is just incompetent. She said they were out of cheese and I'd have to wait 10 minutes, but it's been 15 and I'm starting to feel stabby…maybe I'll start with her face…?
I'm about to get up to change my order so I can just get the hell out of here but before I can, I feel little paws land on my leg. Looking down, I see adorable brown eyes looking back up at me, a pink tongue lolling out of its mouth as it pants and paws at my leg. It looks like a German Shepherd, brown and black, with part of its left eye a lighter brown than the rest.
"Honey. Come here, boy."
Turning to the counter, I see "Trina," according to her nametag, patting her leg and calling for the puppy. Honey looks at me once more before slowly trotting over to Trina. "Sorry about him. He's my sister's dog and since he's still a puppy, she couldn't leave him home alone without the house being destroyed."
'I don't give a f-' I'm thinking before Honey yips and excitedly run over to a different girl who looks similar to Trina; tanned skin, brunette hair, brown eyes…only I don't wanna stab her in the face with my scissors. Really, even I wouldn't mess with such perfection…and that's before I hear her speak.
"Sorry, Trina. Cat called and I couldn't just hang up on her." Cat? Cat Valentine? If Cat knows her, we're gonna have words about why she hasn't ever introduced me to this angel…seriously, Jade, what's up with you today?
I hear Trina scoff and see her roll her eyes. "You could've, you just chose not to."
'Rude…' I see her sister looking as if she's biting her tongue and I can tell she's thinking the same thing. "Can you take Honey with you? He shouldn't be running around the shop, he could get hurt."
Trina's reply is instantaneous. "Nope."
I see the other brunette's name is "Tori" from her nametag and the words are out of my mouth before I can even think to stop them. "I can watch Honey, if you want."
The two look at me, Tori surprised because she didn't see me sitting down. Trina shrugs. "See? Problem solved."
Trina goes off, probably to change, and Tori sighs. She looks at me skeptically, obviously worried about a stranger watching her dog, so I attempt to alleviate her worries. "I don't live far and it'll just be me and my friend tonight. I'll give you my number and text you my address so you can get him after work."
She handed me her phone and I put my number in, sending myself a text so I have her number as well. "Text me when you're leaving."
"How much do you want?" The question catches me off guard. I wasn't thinking about payment, I was honestly just looking for an excuse to see her again…and have her number, but that's neither here nor there.
I let out a small chuckle before jokingly replying. "Give me one pizza for free and we'll call it even."
She looks at my order and furrows her eyebrows. "Why were you waiting? We have everything ready, if this is all you ordered."
I freeze, attempting to stop myself from jumping behind the counter and repeatedly shoving my scissors into Trina's body, but I don't think Tori would want to see that. So, I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Okay, thank you. How much?"
"You're watching Honey, they're both on the house."
With a small smile and a nod, I take both pizzas and the leash she hands me with the puppy attached. Once the pizzas are in the back seat and Honey's in the passenger, I start the car and begin heading to my house.
"Let's see if we can figure this out…I've never had a dog before."
I'm thinking of doing a second part to this. Just showing Jade watching Honey and having Cat recognize the adorable pupper, causing Jade to get upset that Cat never told her about Tori. I don't know, just an idea.
Hugs and Kisses to those who want them and Love to those who need it xoxx
