Drabble #42: Bella

Patricia

"And I'll see Boulder very soon, okay mom? Alright, love you too. Bye." Eddie grinned into the phone. I rolled my eyes.

"You're a dork." I tease. Boulder was his bulldog back home in America, whom of which I met over the summer.

"What for telling my mom I love her?" He shoots back. I smile.

"How long have you had Boulder again?" I ask curiously.

"Eh, about six years." He replies. I nod. "What about you? Ever had a dog?"

"No, unfortunately." I frown. "But Piper had a cat once."

"Oh really?"

"Yeah, her name was Viola." He smirks.

"Wonder where that name came from." His brow furrows. I laugh.

"I've always wanted a dog. I don't know why, I just have. The only other pet we've had is a goldfish. His name was Blubs." We both burst out laughing.

"What happened to him?"

I grin. "We got him right before I came to boarding school, so my dad thought I should take him with me. Let alone he didn't know about-"

"Victor's no pet rule. Yeah, continue."

"Well I brought him, and Victor told me to dispose of him. So a little eleven year-old Alfie took him off my hands." I explain. Eddie gets a horrified look in his face. "Alfie and Jerome used him as target practice." I grimace. He laughs.

The next morning, I wake up to Eddie shaking me violently. "What do you want Slimeball?!" I groan.

"I have a surprise." He grins like a nine year-old.

"At ten in the morning?" I say in disgust.

"Yep." He replies, popping the 'p.' "Now come on! Get dressed, eat-wait, scratch that, you don't have time to eat. Just meet me downstairs in ten minutes!" He bounces out of my room. I roll my eyes.

I hurry up, pulling out a grey skull shirt, denim vest, and a pair of red skinny jeans. I slide into my studded combat boots, and brush through my hair. Since I only have about five minutes left, I don't have time to straighten my hair. So I just let it ring into its natural waves.

"Alright Kruger! I'm ready!" I call from the top of the stairs, hopping down each step.

"Shhhh Yacker! You're gonna wake someone up! It's only like ten in a.m!" He teases. I glare. He holds his hands up in defense. "Alright, c'mon, it's a surprise." I sigh, and follow his instructions. We end up getting in a cab, which is waiting for us outside.

"Are we there yet?" I mumble.

"Yeah, right about...now." He smiles, as we pull up to a small shop. I can't read the sign, so I can't tell what it says. "Alright, now close your eyes." He instructs. I do as he says.

I fell his arms guide me into the store, as I here the bell ring. "Hello!" A woman chimes. "Welcome to Pricilla's Pets, how may we help you?" My heart starts racing.

"Yeah, pickup for Miller." Eddie says.

"Pickup? What is this? A restaurant or a pet shop?" I sneer. Eddie calms me down, as I feel the store clerk tense up.

"Yeah sorry, she's not really a morning person." He apologizes. I mentally roll my eyes.

"Okay... Here we are! Little miss Bella?" The lady perks. I stiffen. Confusing much?

"Yeah, that'd be her. I came yesterday." Eddie explains.

"Can I open my eyes yet?" I whine.

"Actually, yes, you can." My eyes flutter open, and I blink a few times.

"I'll just go get her." Eddie smirks, as I raise my eyebrows. A few minutes later, a lady brings out a small little puppy. My jaw drops, as I clench onto Eddie's arm. I bite my lip to keep me from screaming.

"This, is little miss Bella. She is a morkie, which is a Maltese and yorkie mixed. Bella is only about one years old, so she's still growing." She explains, referring to the puppy. Her ears lift up and down, and her white shaggy fur bounces around her little head.

"Awe!"

"Is she ready?" Eddie asks.

"Yep, just need to sign the form and you can take her home."

"Home?" I question. "But Victor-"

"Trudy's willing to keep our secret." He explains. I go up to him, and hug him, which catches him by surprise. He stumbles back a bit, but wraps one arm around my back. We pull away, as Eddie signs a sheet of paper, and the clerk hands me Bella.

"Take care!" She calls, leaving us outside the shop.

"What just happened?" I say in awe.

"We-" He starts off, petting Bella, "just bought a dog." I lift her over my shoulder, and he begins to lick my face. Eddie kisses mine and Bella's foreheads, as we begin to head home.
