Sunday came and I was eagerly awaiting my three favorite things. I stayed hidden in the shadows until an SUV turned on the hidden dirt road I marked for Moz.
Moz hopped out of the truck and I had forgotten how handsome he was. He had clear blue eyes, dark brown hair, a chiseled jaw, and a killer smile. He was peering around while I stalked behind him.
As soon as I was about to jump him, he turned and caught me in his arms. He laughed and swung me around while we giggled like children.
He pulled me into a bear hug and whispered "I missed you Tod".
I tried to hold in the tears as I breathed "I missed you too Copper."
He pulled back with shimmering eyes and looked me over.
"Damn. You look good Tod. When did you turn into a hottie?" he grinned.
I rolled my eyes and fanned myself with my hand "I've always been this hot Copper. You just never saw it." I jested.
"How's Trina?" Trina was Moz's wife and I had to admit, she was a looker. We all got along great. They were the best friends I ever had.
"Good, she's good. She misses you too. Ever coming back?"
"Naw, you cramp my style old man." I joked.
"I am NOT old and what style?" he mocked being offended.
I laughed and asked him "Where's Tuna and Fish?"
"In the back. Tore up my seats too. You so owe me." He stated while opening the back door and out popped a giant mountain lion and a big red fox.
"My girls!" I squealed while they bounded towards me. They knocked me down and started licking my face while I tried to push them away.
"Still don't know how you do that" Moz shook his head in wonder while closing up the door.
"Do what?" I asked while shaking off my clothes from the dirt and debris and handing him the money for the seats.
"How you get them to love you and care" he smiled in amazement while leaning on the door of his car.
"I'm part animal myself" I winked while he laughed.
"I always knew you were wild Tod. Well, I gotta get going" he said while pulling me in for a hug "Man. I'm really going to miss you. I don't even know how to get ahold of you."
"Well, see I sort of thought of that and I came up with a plan." I said while burying my face in his neck.
"Oh? Care to share?" he chuckled.
"Yeah. I can either give you a souped up secret cell phone I designed or you can move close to here."
"I'll take the cell phone because small towns give me the creeps. I'll come visit you though." He said while I chuckled at his reasoning.
"Well crap. I don't have any soup." I giggled as I handed him the phone.
He took it and sighed again "You look real good Tod. I know you don't believe it when I tell you but you're a knockout. You're going to break hearts in this small town."
I blushed and looked down at my feet. "You're not too hard on the eyes yourself Copper." I smiled and he kissed my forehead before going to his truck and heading on his way home.
I turned to look at my girls when he was gone and clapped my hands.
"Follow me" I announced and set off through the woods.
