Hello!
After a short drive we got to the beach. As soon as we got out of the car Jessica grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the van towards the water. "C'mon! Hurry up Amanda!" She yelled.
"We have to take off our shirts and shorts so they don't get all wet." I explained as I caught her by the waist and swung her around a couple of times.
"Okay!" She quickly took off her cute flower shirt and her little green shorts, as soon as she took off her clothes she raced off towards the water, jumping over the small waves.
I followed her as soon as I had taken off my over clothes. When I got to where Jessica was at, she was playing with a little puppy in the water.
"Where did this little guy come from?" I asked her as I bent down to pick it up. I scratched its ears and it made a little sound and leaned his head into my hand.
"I don't know," She shrugged," He just ran up to me." She reached up to pet him and he licked her fingers, at least I think it was a him….yup, it's definitely a boy.
"He doesn't have a collar." I muttered to myself, checking around his neck.
"Can we keep him?" Jessica looked up at me hopefully.
"I dunno Jess, someone might be looking for him right now.
"Oh, okay." She looked down sadly and I just rolled my eyes. We already have a dog, goodness.
"Roger! Roger God- dammit!"
The dog looked up and wagged his tail. I turned to look where "Roger" was looking and saw two well- muscled tan Native Americans running towards us. I cocked my head to the side. They looked a lot like the ones at the diner, probably all in a steroid group together or something.
"Hey", I smiled," I'm pretty sure this is your dog." I laughed and they smiled at me.
"Yeah as a matter of fact it is." One of them said.
I held out Roger and he gently took from me, "Thanks it's actually not my dog. It's my friends; he tends to run away a lot."
I smiled, "No problem. But you should really tell your friend to get a collar for him. I was about to take him home with me," I stuck out my hand, "Names Amanda."
They each shook it, "I'm Paul," said the one holding Roger, "And that's Jared."
"Nice to meet you guys. This is my little sister Jessica."
I grabbed her hand to bring her forward but she just hid behind my legs. They smiled and chuckled.
"Thanks again for saving my friends dumb dog." Paul said again, adjusting roger in his arms.
"No problem," I smiled at them, "So I guess I'll see you guys around sometime."
Jared nodded and smiled at the both of us, "Yea, see you around and thanks again for saving this dog."
"Your welcome!"
They walked away and Paul let down Roger and he scampered away barking and biting at the waves. I rolled my eyes, that's how Roger got lost in the first place.
"I like Paul," Jessica said, plopping down in the sand and running it through her fingers, "He's cute," She looked up at me, "Do you like Paul?"
"Hey was okay," I laughed, "But I think he's a little too old for you Jess."
"I don't care." She got up and splashed through the waves.
Alright then, I guess my four year old little sister is getting married to a guy we just met that happens to be at least 15 years older than her. Great, just great.
I left Jessica to play in the water by herself and walked back to where everybody was laying in the sand.
"Who were you talking to?" Addie asked as I sat down on one of the towels.
"Some guys who lost their friends dog." I replied easily as I laid down and threw my hand over my eyes, "They looked like the people we saw at the diner last night." I added as I turned my head to look at her.
She sat up from laying on Davey's chest, "They were probably friends of Jake or something. There's a big group of them that hang around each other all the time and what's weird is that they all look alike."
"Yeah, it is weird. Hey did you know that Jessica is going to get married to one of them?" I smiled and laughed a little.
"Are you serious?" Addie laughed, "And she doesn't care that he is over 10 years older than her?"
"Apparently not." I smiled and shook my head.
Life would be boring without little sisters.
