After the whole deal with Valerie I finally calmed down and slouched on the couch, rating my tiredness by how much further I slid down the couch. I fell asleep and woke up to someone banging on the door.
"Opal!! Open up!!"
"...Who is it? Why are you coming so early?" I relied drowsily.
"Opal! It's 4:00 in the afternoon!! Open up!"
"WHO IS IT!!" I screamed
"For God's sake!! Open up!! It's me, Sam!! Are you going to get up and off the couch or are you gonna let me kick the door down?" He demanded.
"I'm coming." I said, sluggishly getting off the couch like a million year old turtle. "Almost there." I moaned.
BAM💥
The door was on the ground, Sam in the doorway, and me barely an inch from where I had started. He was standing there like a hero who had just kicked a bad guy's @$$. I couldn't help but smile and dreamily gaze at him until I felt the hot stinky breath smell drift up my nose. Then a slippery tongue glide over the surface of my face.
"SAM! YOU PERVERT!" I screeched.
"Opal, that isn't me," he replied calmly. "Look up."
Just then I felt a tail lightly brush my chin. I opened my eyes, praying that the slobber wouldn't obscure my vision. there was a white fluffy, medium sized dog sitting in front of me panting. His sleek pelt and lean body told me that he was a snow dog. The harness that was attached to the leash, had an identification card hanging down. I stared at Sam, wonder and affection gleaming in his eyes.
"What do you think?" He asked curiously. "I figured you could use some cheering up😊" he blushed.
I immediately brighten and began vigorously petting the dog. Sam stared at me expactantly. "I don't like it." I said trying to sound as cool and ice. His eyes were clouded with hurt. "I LOVE IT!!" I screamed.
I ran over and hugged him tightly, wishing that time would freeze and that we could be together forever. We pulled away at the same time and held each other softly. Momentarily, rocking back and forth; I whispered, "Thank you."
I looked into his blue eyes and he looked into mine. My fingers entwined with his. We took a pace forward, each in turn. I felt his lips make contact with mine as though he had done it millions of time before. Kissing him made the worries in the back of my disappear, only to reappear when the kiss broke. He blushed. I blushed. We were a pair of tomatoes. Sam broke the silence, "I-I...... I love you Opal." He blushed even harder than before making himself look like he was a scarlet painted robot.
"I love you too, but remember I will always love you more😘!!" I teased him.
We both had forgotten that the dog was there. 😬 He stood there panting, licking up any drool that escaped his jaws. "Come here!" Sam chided. The dog jumped into his arms, bowling him over and licking rapidly. "Good boy! Now, off." The dog got off Sam, stepping on his ⚾️s on the way. I laughed and laughed. I called the dog over and began to read his tag. It read:
Name: Kodak
Age: 2
Breed: Jindo
Shelter: Oregon Humane Society
"Wow!" I breathed. "You got him from Oregon? You went that far? For me?"
He nodded, crouching down beside me. "Yeah. He was a bit of a pain in the butt to get here, but seeing your face brighten was the first thing on my mind." I kissed him on the cheek and continued reading the tag.
About: I am a playful white doggy with pointed ears and and curly tail! Keep me on a leash or you might have to come chase after me! My original name was Egg but I hated it. I like digging holes and hunting in fields for exercise and entertainment. If I get bored I will probably chew and dig a hole in the house and go for a run. Your my favorite!
Adopter: Sam Alexander
Cost: $150.00+$45.00
Total Cost: $195.00
(This is seriously what I paid for my dog.)
"YOU PAID $195.00 DOLLARS FOR THIS DOG TO MAKE ME HAPPY?" I yelled.
Sam nodded stunned and confused. "THANK YOU. AGAIN."
I hugged him and tackled him to the floor, and invited Kodak to join. It was as if the past was never there.
