Beautiful Mistakes [Brollins]

Chapter 15

After the duo had finished the movie, Colby ended up helping Rebecca clean up the kitchen and put the extra food away. The duo then—not surprisingly—ended up in the bed together before he had to head home.

Rebecca though, ended up falling asleep, and then for the next week, she just laid around the apartment reading, trying to pass the time. Since she didn't have a job yet, that's really all she could do. Wake up at 11 and lay around the house waiting for one of the girls to get home, or for Colby to come visit.

She felt lonely around the apartment, and mostly felt lazy because she wasn't working. She also felt like she had just barged in on the girls' place, and she needed to find a new home sooner than later—after she got a job so she could afford one.

After she had lunch, Rebecca went out on her daily walk, looking around at the busy city around her. Today though, as she was walking down the street, she looked into a pet shop and saw dogs and puppies looking up at her through the window.

Her face lit up as she watched them jump up and down. She knew she shouldn't, but letting her intrusive thoughts win, she walked straight into the store. She walked over to them and smiled as they all jumped and barked for joy. "Hi..." She said in a lower sweet voice.

She didn't know why she was doing this, because their apartment, isn't even hers. They can't get mad at me can they? Mercedes has Ryu in her room, and Pam has Felix.

She looked around happily, trying to figure out which one she wanted. She would take all of them if she could, but when she looked in the corner, she saw a small pug looking up at her, and she immediately knew it was the one.

She walked towards the back until she saw a worker. "Hello. I would like to get this pug out here?"

The woman smiled. "Oh great! Was it the one up towards the front?" When Rebecca nodded the woman followed her up to the front. "I'll grab you a crate and a leash. You can pick it up and bring it towards the register if you'd like. I'll be right back."

Rebecca smiled. "Okay. Thank you!"

She then bent down and picked it up. It sniffed her, then covered her face with kisses. "Awe, hi little guy." Rebecca cradled it to her chest then brought it towards the register where the woman stood with the crate and leash. Rebecca grabbed a collar hanging and placed it next to the crate. "How much is he?"

The woman laid the crate on the counter for Rebecca to put it in. "It's a foster puppy, so it's $500. The crate and leash is on us."

Rebecca smiled and pulled out her wallet before paying. Once she was done she grabbed the leash and the crate. "Thank you so much! You have a good day!"

Rebecca then walked out of the store laughing at herself. "I guess it's just me and you today then."

Rebecca then placed the crate in her car and drove off towards the store. She cracked a window open while she went in, and came back out with dog food, a dog bed, some dog treats, and dog toys.

Once she got back to the apartment, she made sure it was okay to bring it in, and then she brought it up to their apartment. She placed the crate down on the ground and laid all of the other stuff she bought on the countertop.

She opened the crate and watched the little dog walk out excitedly. She smiled and pet on it, "we need to figure out a name for you."

The pug jumped up on her, licking her face and wagging its small little tail. Rebecca laughed and kissed it's head before pulling out the collar from the bag. She wrapped it around the pug's neck before giving it a treat.

As it scurried away exploring its new home, Rebecca pulled out her phone to text the girls about her new friend.

Don't kill me! I just wanted
to go on dog walks with y'all!

Omg! It's so cute!!

She then texted Colby and told him she was ready for an interview. She knew she was going to have to start working if she wanted to buy her own place, and working along side her boyfriend would more than likely be a great place to start. Rebecca smiled and took off her shoes, placing them in her room along with the crate and dog bed. She then walked back out excitedly, speed walking through the house, playing with her new best friend.
