Naomi sighed and collapsed onto the couch that had been placed randomly into the room by the movers. Her eyes traveled around briefly at the different boxes stacked in the corners. The move had went well as far as she was concerned, of course minus the fact that one of the moving vans had some how gotten lost.
"Jeez Naomi I had no idea how much crap you had."
"Hey you're in no position to speak Mr. Hunter rememberhalf of this crap is yours."
"Yeah, but mines mostly the little stuff."
"Oh so you're saying that the big screen, couch, and bed are now mine? Why thank you that is so sweet of you."
"Well OK maybe it's not all little."
"Hey I did offer to buy the bed. It's your fault you wouldn't let me." She watched him walk around and sat down beside her.
"But you bought the other stuff. You know stuff a woman's suppose to buy."
"Oh Really and what's that?"
"You know the kitchen stuff and you know stuff like that."
"Oh brother. Anyway mom thought it was great that we decided to move in together." Brad froze and turned slowly to face her.
"Wait you told your parents?"
"Well yeah why not? Mom loves you."
"It's not your mom I'm worried about!"
"Don't worry Daddy is harmless."
"Are you kidding me the last time I saw him I thought he was going to bite my head off."
"What do you mean? He even came to your graduation last year. If he didn't like you he wouldn't have come."
"You're on drugs aren't you? Did you not see how he kept glaring at me the whole time."
"I am not on drugs and Daddy doesn't hate you."
"Oh ya what'd he say about us moving in?"
"Umm nothing really."
"But he was thinking something." Naomi rolled her eyes and crossed her arms lazily over her stomach.
"Don't be ridiculous." They fell silent as they both looked over the boxes. The bed hadn't even been set up yet. Naomi had left out the small detail that they'd be sharing a room when she informed her parents that her and Brad were moving in together. Her mom was ecstatic about the whole idea, but her Dad was silent which usually ment he disapproved. She just didn't want to tell Brad that.
It was a 2 bedroom apartment having 6 rooms total. A kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms, dining room, and living room. The second bedroom was going to be used as a computer room/spare bedroom if the need ever arose for one.
Naomi glanced over at Brad as their stomachs began to growl. Brad looked up and smiled.
"So you gonna cook me something?"
"Maybe if you ask nicely."
"Please."
"I don't know everything is packed I don't have a clue where anything is."
"Right looks like we're getting take out."
"You got it." Naomi pushed herself up and reached into her pocket for her cell. "Do you know where the phone book is?"
"Not a clue." They looked toward the kitchen as something crashed. Brad frowned and stared over at Naomi.
"What?"
"I told you not to buy that dog."
"I couldn't just leave him there he was all by himself." Just then the said pup came scrambling across the hardwood floor and slid head first into a pile of boxes and sent them tumbling to the floor.
"Are you sure he's not retarded?"
"Brad!"
"What?"
"Leave him alone he's just baby!"
"What kind of mutt did you say he was?"
"He's not a mutt! He's a pure bred Shiba Inu!" Brad stared at the dog who only stared back at him from his position in Naomi's arms. "Haven't you ever had a dog before?"
"No. The apartment we lived in didn't allow pets. I did sneak a snake in once. It got loose and scared the shit out of my mom and bit my dad and he had to go to the emergency room."
"A snake? What kind?"
"Don't know." Naomi shook her head and carried the pup into the kitchen. Brad stood and followed her into the kitchen and watched Naomi pour dog food into a dog bowl. "You know where the dog stuff is, but none of the cooking stuff?"
"Ya I puthis stuff in my car. Watch him while I go order us some food." Brad grunted and leaned against the counter. He watched the dog as it hurriedly ate its food then stared up at him expectantly.
"Hey Naomi what'd you say his name was again?"
"Rosco." The puppy barked and jumped up against Brad's leg. Brad crouched down so that he was eye level with the dog and growled. The dog stared at him and tilted his head to the side before attempting to jump on Brad again.
"Listen here dog. The whole puppy look isn't going to work on me OK. So if you don't make a mess and get on my nerves we could make this work."
"Brad the pizza will be here in 20 minutes." Brad stood and turned to Naomi as she strolled into the kitchen with the phone book in her hands.
"Where'd you find it?"
"It was in one of the boxes Rosco knocked over. Did you tell your mom we bought an apartment?" Brad glanced around not wanting to look her in the eyes.
"Of course I did." Naomi leaned forward on the counter and raised a brow.
"How come I never see you call her?" Brad shrugged and moved to leave the room, but Naomi quickly stood in his way. "You didn't tell her about the apartment did you?" just then the doorbell rang and Brad grinned innocently before walking out of the kitchen to answer the door. Rosco was already there barking and scratching at the barrier separating him from whoever was on the other side. Brad shoved him aside with his foot and quickly opened the door.
"Brad!" Brad was caught off guard by the little girl that launched herself at him and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist.
"Hey Riley."
"Uh sorry for not calling first Brad, but she really wanted to see your new apartment."
"No problem. Come in."
"Oh you got a puppy! What's its name?" Questioned Riley as she sat down in front of the puppy and scratched its ears.
"It's Naomi's dog. His name's Rosco."
"Can he do any tricks?"
"I don't know. You'd have to ask Naomi."
"Oh hi Benji I didn't know you were here."
"Hey Naomi. Riley wanted to come by."
"Well nothings unpacked yet, but you can come sit on the couch and pizza will be here in a little bit."
"Yay pizza!" Cried Riley as she hoisted the Shiba Inu into her arms and carried him to the couch. "Daddy do you think Rosco could be friends with Peanut Butter Puff?"
"I highly doubt it Riley."

Fox: Well here's the prologue and I hope it looks interesting. The puppy in this story is named after my mom's dog. He was part dingo and part Queensland and apparently liked to fight and play hide and go seek. Hope you enjoyed
Kojisa: Yep and don't forget to R&R
Audi!
