Chapter 7:
Carly bounces along with the cart and shuffles through every aisle in the dog section, picking up every toy and doggie food she likes. Jack and Magnus were staring at her in the background, shocked at the amazing speed that Carly displays. Man and dog weren't sure if they should try to help her, or stop her. Carly continues to shop until she fills the cart up, only stopping when she realizes that the cart was too heavy to push. Magnus and Jack see this as their cue to come over. The two inspect the cart of goodies while Carly catches her breath on the floor, back against the top-heavy shopping cart.
"I dunno, love." Jack begins. "Isn't a pet owner suppose to ask her furry piranha if he actually likes these things, or somethin'? I mean, how do we even know Magnus over here would like cheese and bacon flavored...help me out here. Beggin' Strips!?"
"Rumor has it that those are the biggest dog treats around. I'm sure that my little poochie will love them! Won't you snookums!" Carly states as she gently takes Magnus' head and rubs his fur playfully.
"I'm just sayin' love, we could always just buy a big doghouse, 'tach the mutt to a chain, leave him out there for weeks at a..."
Magnus quickly cuts Jack off, arching his back and snarling at him with irritability. Jack jumps back and almost climb the aisle's shelves. "What?! You're a big boy! I mean, aren't dogs suppose to enjoy the simple pleasures in life? Your ancestors were born outside and grew up in caves!"
"Magnus, hush!" Carly orders. Magnus immediately drops to a defensive hutch and whines. "Jack, stop teasing. I like to think Magnus as part of a family now, as he should be treated as such. I like to think of him as a sweet, little puppy just looking out for me!" Carly cuddles Magnus again, and he barks and wags his tail in response.
Jack turns away in disgust. I rather think of him as a bothersome, old fleabag who doesn't know how to keep his muzzle out of other people's business. Jack straightens himself and walks over to Carly, taking her hand and standing her up again. "Carly, I know you mean well for this dog, but I was just thinking about you!" Jack pleas with her as he wraps her waist with one arm, and kiss the back of her hand sweetly. Carly blushes again, and Magnus feels like he can do nothing but lay there and growl at that weasel. "Imagine what all this food would cost ya! There are ways you can satisfy your attack dog without breakin' the bank, you know!"
Jack takes Carly's arm with both hands now, and slowly pecks his way up Carly's arm. She giggles and blushes to bright red now, imagining Jack and her staring in their own romance film. Although, Carly imagines, I would pick someplace a little more romantic than in a Petsmart, like a sunset beach or on the top of a tower! Oh, that would be nice! She snaps back to reality when she notices Jack shuffling uncomfortably. She looks down to see that Magnus has just grabbed the back of Jack's trench coat, and was pulling him backwards while Jack was barking and cursing at the dog again.
"You mother#%! Fleabag let me go!" Jack swears as he yanks at his own coat. Carly watches unwillingly as Magnus plays tug-of-war with the jacket's tail. "If you tear another hole in my coat, I'm gonna rip you to shreds!!!"
"Magnus, stop!" Carly gets behind Magnus and manages to pick him up. After a few minutes of yelling and struggling, the end of his coat rips off Jack, who trips and falls flat on his face. Carly puts Magnus down as he lowers his ears and head submissively."Magnus! Bad dog, bad! You could've hurt Jack!" Magnus sinks his had even lower as Carly continues to scold him.
"Forget it, Carly! You're wastin' your bloody breath!" Jack states as he sat cross-legged on the floor, inspecting the gaping hole in his coat. "The day that walking tick parade apologizes for giving me grief is the day I get shot in the head!" Jack gets up and storms over to Carly, taking her by the arm. "I'm serious 'bout that muzzle! And while you're at it, I'll spring some money for a matching shock collar!" At this point, Magnus begins snarling at Jack again, apparently angrier at him than usual.
"Stop it, Jack!" shouts Carly "Sometimes, you're no better that the dog! What's wrong with you?"
"At this point, what's right with me?"
"That's enough!" Carly looks at Magnus, who's calmed down a little bit. "I'm sorry Jack; I just don't know why he's always attacking you. I'm sure he knows by now that you're safe to be around."
Jack releases Carly's arm and straightens to his full height. "It's not about that. It's just the fact that he hates it when I touch you."
"What do you mean, he's jealous? I know even your kisses were rough, but the closet thing we did was snuggle!"
"Oh really?!" Jack shouts, and then he quietly grins at Carly. She winches back a little, kind of scared of Jack's creepy smile. "Uh, Jack? What are you thi-EEK!" Carly screams playfully as Jack picks her up, literally sweeping Carly off of her feet. "I'll show you!" Jack carries Carly out of the aisle and towards the rear entrance. Magnus barks angrily as Jack carries Carly to a bench at the back, gently placing her on the low stool. Magnus stops a few feet behind them, still snarling and ready for anything Jack has up his sleeve.
"Jack! Please! W-What are you doing?" Carly tries to scoot away but Jack catches her by the waist.
Jack teases at Magnus as he kneels and places the full weight of his arms against the wall, trapping Carly's head in between. "Showing you my point, Love! Yo pooch! Ready for a peep show?!"
As Magnus ponders over the statement, Jack lets his arms fall and presses an open-mouthed kiss on Carly. She can't move away because her back was against the wall, and she couldn't protest because Jack caught her tongue with his tongue. Jack lets his eyes slip closed and pushes his mouth deeper into Carly's throat. At first, Carly tries to push him away at first her, but quickly gives in to his spell and plays along obediently. Carly closes her eyes and moves her hands gently over his head, urging Jack to go deeper. Magnus stares bog-eyed as Jack and Carly enjoy each other's gifts, growling silently and tears at the tiled floor with dull nails.
That...that...ugh...snake!!! No! Worse! That slime ball! How did-! What on earth is he...?! You are a dead man, Jack! Magnus was about to attack Jack's head, or worse, but he quickly stops himself. No! I can't give Jack the satisfaction! Stay, Magnus, breathe. Carly has already scolded you once. You don't want her to think you're a mad dog. Just wait it out. Just...ah! What the?!
While Jack was busy giving Carly a lesson in French kissing, he slipped one hand underneath her shirt and begins caressing one of her breasts roughly, making her blush and moan. By now, Carly slides backwards and rests herself long way on the bench, never breaking their intimacy. Now that the wooden bench has been used as a makeshift bed, Jack lies on top of her and continues his courtship signals to Carly. Jack's tongue slips even deeper into her throat, making her shake and dig her nails into his back. He uses his second hand to remove Carly's glasses and place them next to her. He then slips his free hand in between her legs, making her jump slightly and shut her legs in protest. Carly had never done, or ever been touched, this way before, so she couldn't help but shiver and moan weakly. This was a first for Jack as well, but with his demeanor and commanding fingers, he acts like Carly is just girlfriend #2.
Ah! Dear Lord! Oh, Carly! What is that molester doing to you?! It's like watching the scene of an accident! I can't turn away! I just can't turn-! No, wait, yes I can. MY EYES!
Magnus yipped and dashes in the opposite direction, closing his eyes to shield him from the scene he's endured. Unfortunately, he wasn't seeing where he was running to and bashes his head into the overstocked cart. Jack breaks his kiss and turns because of the noise. He tears away from Carly, leaving her shaken and gasping for air on the bench. He's stunned to see Magnus passed out on the floor, a large lump visible on his head.
What the hell?! Jack stares in disbelief. Where's that rabid beast that attacked me yesterday?! What happened to that vicious monster that wouldn't think twice to chew me in half?! You were just gonna run away from your owner?!? Worthless son of a-?
Jack straightens as he felt a finger tap on the shoulder. He gulps and turns around to see Carly standing behind him. She had her arms crossed, messy hair, and her glasses in one hand, a tapping foot, and a very pissed look on her face.
"Ah! Carly!" Jack staggers his words and sweats over his explanation. "I-I-I didn't mean it like that! I mean, it wasn't supposed to turn out like that! I wasn't paying attention! Magnus was supposed to jump in any second there! I thought you knew that was how I felt about you! I mean, y-you know how boys are! Right...Carly?"
BAM!!! CRASH!!!!
Freya was asleep on a couch in the employee lounge during this time. She awoke with a start as she heard a sharp noise cut through. "Zzz…Huh?! What? What was that?" Freya starts, rubbing the sleepiness out of her eyes. "Wow! Sounds like somebody smacked somebody else across the face, and that second somebody his head on a shelf and is lying unconscious on the floor. And then the first somebody who smacked the second somebody who is unconscious on the floor just stormed out the front door in a huff or something!" Freya thinks over what she just said. "Ah, who am I kidding? It's probably nothing. Man, is today slow…zzzz." Freya falls back asleep before her head even touched the couch cushion.
-2 hours later
Jack, Carly, and Magnus were all sitting at a stone table together in the park. After the "excitement" from the Petsmart, Carly thought this would be a great place for everyone to cool off. Before going to the park Carly needed to get the toys home first. So she left Jack and Magnus, pushed the cart to the front, paid for all the items, rushed home, put all of the dog goodies in different places at her house, drive back, dragged the 2 unconscious men to her car, and drove to the park. Easy!
Jack and Magnus were sitting on the same stool with Carly facing them, all 3 people having ice cream. Magnus was licking vanilla ice cream from a waffle bone, each lick making him whine and tear from pain because of the unnatural-looking large bump on his head. Jack couldn't even try to eat his pistachio ice cream because a water pail was lodged on his head from the fall, and there was a hand-shaped red mark on his left cheek that is burning him up. Carly was at the other end, happily sipping a banana ice cream smoothie.
"Well!" Carly starts, making Jack and Magnus jump. "I think we all learned a little something about karma today!" Magnus looks at Jack questionably. Jack would've responded to his look, but the bucket on his head made him blind. "Magnus attacking Jack made him have a migraine, Jack forcing himself on me means he has a migraine and a swollen cheek, and me making a new friend invites me to a cool birthday party on Saturday! Super!" Carly giggles, but Magnus and Jack only groan in pain.
"So boys, what should we do tomorrow?" Carly asks.
Neither man nor dog says anything.
