Chapter 20: Christmas Tree
THANK YOU TO ALL THAT REVIEWED! I got 10 more than I asked for, SO THANK YOU SO SO SO SO SO MUCH! I love you all (in non stalkerish ways...)
So I had yesterday and today off because of all the snow, and instead of being outside in it, I thought I would write for you all! :D
Sonny's POV
"Chad! We're hooomOH MY GOD!" I screamed and dropped all the bags that I held in my hands. A little ball of golden fluff came bounding up to me. I knelt down on the floor and picked the little fluff ball up.
"Happy early Christmas Sonny." Chad came up to me and put an arm around my waist.
"Aww, he's so cute." Keara said and stroked the dark golden retriever puppy on his stomach. He was so dark he was almost orange.
"Thanks, Chad." I smiled and reached up and kissed his lips gently.
"It's alright, but he's early because I thought you may want him now, that's all." He shrugged.
"How old is he?"
"Just over 8 weeks."
"Aww, you haven't given him a name then?" I asked, the little puppy stood up in my arms and rested his paws on my shoulders, licking my cheek.
"No, you got any good names for him?" (I am not naming him Bob, Katherine. Sorry)
"Marley?" Keara jumped in.
"No, how about Alvin?"
"Yeah, I like that." Chad agreed and smiled at me. "So, what did you buy then?"
"Nah, ah ah, I'm not telling you." I smirked at him and put Alvin on the floor. He scampered off to Keara and jumped up her leg. She bent down and ruffled the tuft of orange fur on his head. I smiled at him as his stumpy tail waggled from side to side.
"Tell him what you did do though." Keara urged.
"Huh?" I asked.
"Your belly." Keara said and kissed Alvin on his nose.
"Oh, Keara made me get my belly pierced."
"Nice, let's see it then." I lifted my shirt up slowly and revealed the white gauze that was covering it. I peeled it off slowly and winced a little as the tape tugged at my skin. Chad looked down at the new piercing and smiled. "I like it. How long 'til it would have healed properly?"
"About 2 months." Keara said.
"As long as that?" He asked shocked.
"Apparently." I shrugged and pulled my shirt back down; I disposed of the gauze and took the bags into the room I shared with Chad. Alvin came running after me and shoved his head under my arm as I bent down to put the bags gently on the floor. I rocked backwards a little and ended up sitting on the floor.
Alvin sat down next to me and lent into my body. He moved his back leg and lifted his right paw. I smiled at him and tickled his bare stomach. His tongue came out of his mouth and his tail wagged a little. I straightened my legs out and lent backwards, Alvin followed and laid on his back, tucked underneath my arm.
I closed my eyes and rested my broken arm over my tummy. I breathed deeply, and fell to sleep.
Chad's POV
"Hey, so, Keara..." I trailed off.
"Yeah, what?" She asked annoyed, she was in the kitchen trying to make a Christmas cake.
"Erm, I was wondering if maybe you come out with me to get a Christmas tree?"
"Oh, sure. When I've finished making this frigging cake!" She pounded the mixture in the bowl with the wooden spoon and groaned. I went to sit on the bar stool and watched her as she poured the fruit into the brownish mixture.
"Great, so did you ring Dan about coming over?" I asked.
"Yeah, he said he'd love to. He said he'll catch a flight in about a week. Is it alright if he brings Rosie?"
"Rosie?" I asked confused.
"Our puppy."
"Oh, sure, I'm sure that Alvin would love to play with her."
"You know, Sonny's never had a pet since Jess died." Keara continued to stir the cake mixture; she added a little bit of rum to it and smiled at it.
"Who was Jess?"
"She was Sonny's lab cross golden retriever. But they reckon that she was something else too, she was vicious." Keara explained.
"Oh, she never told me that." I looked down at the table in front of me.
"I bet there is a lot that she hasn't told you."
"Like?" I urged.
"She had a twin, but he left the family, don't know why." Keara shrugged.
"So was he adopted too?"
"Well, I'm guessing so, they were inseparable and they looked like each other. But I think that he was, because if she is, then he probably is too."
"What was his name?"
"Sam." Keara said shortly.
"Oh, what else don't I know about her?"
"Erm, she used to smoke."
"What! Why!" I stood up from the stool and slammed my hands down.
"Erm, Chad, please don't tell her that I told you?" She begged.
"I won't."
"Okay, Jake was very abusive, she was constantly bullied-"
"Jake?"
"Her 'father'."
"Oh, poor her, so she smoked to get rid of the pain?" I asked.
"Yeah, but she hasn't done it for about 2 years. She smoked for just over one."
"But she's stopped?" I asked again.
"Yes, I forced her to go to the doctors, and I don't know what they did, she won't talk about it. But yeah." Keara finished on a flat note and scraped the cake mixture into a tin. "Right, I'll put that in the oven until tomorrow, and we'll go buy a tree." Keara took off the apron and washed her hands, she untied her hair and turned back around.
"I'll leave a note for Sonny."
"And Alvin." Keara giggled.
"And Alvin." I scribbled a quick note for her and we left. We got into my corvette and drove to a garden centre. (Okay, so I don't know if you get them over there in the USA, but they are now, sorry)
I stopped the car in a space and pulled on my black wig and put my green contacts in. Keara and I clambered out the car and went through the big double doors and the front of the centre.
"Hey, Sonny and I bought some decorations when we went shopping earlier."
"Great, I like this one." I said and pointed to a big bushy pine tree.
"Yep." Keara popped the 'P' and helped my lift the big tree that was held in netting onto the trolley that Keara had thoughtfully picked up.
"So, we just need a tree, right?" I asked as she wheeled the trolley to the checkout.
"Yup." She looked around and noticed something out the corner of her eye. "Hey, had Alvin got a collar?"
"No."
"Can we get him this one?" She asked hopeful, Keara held out a dark blue collar with bones on it. "It reminds me of the wallpaper in Gromit's room."
"Right, okay." We reached the checkout, the tree and collar were scanned and I paid for them. We went back out the car and with Keara's help we strapped the tree to the roof.
We arrived home and again, with Keara's help we took the new Christmas tree off the roof and through the front door. We put it into the sitting room and in the stand that I brought earlier when I went out and got Alvin. We steadied it and when it was still, I screwed the bolts in to hold it in position.
I went to grab some water and a pair of scissors. I returned and cut down the length of the tree to release the branches. It flung out and Keara and I were showered with pine needles. I brushed them off and poured the water into the stand. I stepped back and admired our work.
"I'm gonna get Sonny." Keara went off to my bedroom and opened the door. "Chad, have you seen this?" She asked with a massive smile on her face.
"No, what?" I walked up to her and looked through the door, lying on the floor with Alvin curled up on her stomach was Sonny. "Aww." I breathed at them, Keara pulled the door to, and we went back into the kitchen.
"So, what now?" I asked.
"I don't know, hey, I'm gonna get the laptop. Back in a jiffy." Keara disappeared into her room.
I left the bar stool and sat on the sofa, I few moments later a little soft padding noise came up to me. I looked down and saw Alvin, I smiled and picked him up and put him on my lap. He curled up and put his tail over his nose, he yawned and fell to sleep again.
