That night i had a nightmare, I was sitting in my old owner's lap and she was grooming me, then she was petting, and tickling me. Then it started to Storm outside, lighting shot in the house and there appeared my other owner with a cobra with him. He let the cobra down and i jumped off my owners lap. The cobra went to bite me, but their was a bang on the piece of wood. I ended up screaming when i woke up.
"Soni, you okay" The familiar voice of Vanessa asked.
"I'm okay" I said
"Well can you come out here for a second" She asked
"Sure" I said, I went out, and saw Vanessa looked Flustered. "Is everything okay"
"Can we talk we're no one will hear" She asked, I was getting worried.
"S-sure" i said, I closed up my burrow and followed her to wherever she wanted to go. We went to a park bench and she seemed nervous to talk. "Vanessa is everything okay"
"I have a crush" She said so fast, i'm surprised i made out the words. I smiled
"That's great" I said
"No it's not" She said
"Why not" I asked
"Well he has a place, and i don't" She said, I was confused
"What do you mean" I asked
"He has an owner" she said "a handler whatever you want to call them." She laid back so she was laying directly on her back. I did the same thing.
"So, don't let that stop you. The more you try to hide it, the more it will try to consume your fears" I said, "But i'm very curious to know why you told me out of everyone and who it is"
"I told you because you're not a huge blabber mouth, like Pete or Zachary" She said "also Rachel seems to be very uptight and i don't feel comfortable spilling my feelings to the boys"
"Oh, so you trust me more" I said with a smile
"Of course, you're the one everybody trust." She said, I smiled.
"Now please tell me who you like" I said, Vanessa laughed. Possible because it was so straightforward that she thought it was funny.
"Well he's a gecko" She said
"Vinnie" I asked and sat up straight looking at her with my one eye not being covered with fur. Vanessa smiled, went red in the cheeks, sat up and looked away. "O, M, Gosh"
"Tots" Vanessa said
"What" I asked
"I don't know, i thought we were saying things that don't make since" She said, i laughed.
"So i just have one small question" I said
"And that is" She asked
"How can you have a crush on him, after just seeing him once" I asked, she thought.
"Well he's handsome, and i guess i'd like to get to know him more for his personality before saying anything else" Vanessa said, I smiled. We started walking back to our spots "Have you ever had a crush" I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"As if, I've never been into a boy before, also my brother may be spoiled but i'm the youngest and he wants to look out for me" I said
"Thats funny, then why'd he let you go homeless" She asked, I stopped dead in my tracks. I grabbed my arms and looked down. "I'm sorry, is he dead" I looked at her and shook my head. "Then what's the prob"
"He doesn't know, neither does my twin sisters, Emily and Emma, not that they'd care" I said, i started to have tears form.
"Who's your brother" Vanessa asked i could hear the sympathy in her voice. I looked at her.
"Sharukh" I said.
