Two Hearts One String

Puppy Eyes

Ahhh finally home. Quora drops her shoes by the door, places her coat on the rack, drops her bag and ray bands she purchased last week on the kitchen counter and places her cell phone on her nightstand as she got ready for bed.

She stripped off her leather jacket, her tank top and then her pants. She always slept in her underwear even in the winter. Call me a polar bear ! Hell she could be very bi-polar...

She stepped into her bathroom and brushed her hair and teeth without looking in the mirror. She bought an expensive and beautiful mirror thinking it would've helped her perspective of herself but sadly it was just a waste of useful money, it simply outlined her flaws even more.

With a yawn and a stretch, she reached in her medicine cabinet and took two pain killers. She didn't have a headache now but she usually wakes up with one. "I'm not an addict, I just know these things" Quora said with gritted teeth to Stacy. "Sureeeee thats WHAT ADDICTS SAY Q!" Stacy shouted.

Quora shook her head of the memories. That's in the past now. Today its one painkiller for Hoslam and one painkiller for Stacy. Dream team.

After yawning for a third time, Quora makes her way to bed only to stop dead in her tracks. "Is that a puppy on my bed?" Quora whispers to herself. She blinks once then twice. The puppy gave a whimpering sound. It's fur was black and white on the ears, nose and belly. It had green eyes? Dogs can have green eyes ? She thought in her head. Her sixth sense was telling her there was something fishy but this puppy had a good aura, a veryyyyy pure aura.

Like how did it get in the house anyway. She looked around her room and noticed she left her window open which she's been doing since the air conditioning in the apartment complex is broken. But I'm pretty sure I secured that window today.

Quora knew she was a goner the moment the puppy hopped off the bed to nuzzle her ankle. Something tugged at her heart. Like the crucial piece to a puzzle falling in place. She wanted to hug and squeeze the puppy to pieces.

She bent down to scratch its ear but the puppy backed up and jumped at her.

In defense she fell backwards on her butt, for the forth time today and the puppy attacked her face with licking. She giggled and laughed and snorted despite the ache of her bruised booty.

"Puppy you have made me fall down for my fourth time this day !"

She can't remember when last she truly laughed. Her laughter faltered as she started to think harder. Maybe that 20 years wasn't so happy. She held the puppy's head to stop the licking when she realized the puppy was humping her.

What the he- "EW!!!!" Quora exclaimed eyes wide in shock. She practically flung the puppy off of her only for it to land on the bed and hold on for dear life. After the puppy calmed down and was laying on his paws, Quora began her lecture. He stared at her warily with his cute puppy eyes.

"Look puppy ! Oh wait you need a name first." Quora paused to think as the puppy looked back at her and bark. "Oh hush ! I can't speak dog and I'm not some whisperer either. Hmm Joe ! No. Hmm Afori ! Nah. Xander. Maybe..."

Quora went to eye level with the puppy, placed her hand on its head and asked "how about Xander boy ? Sounds okay"

The puppy stared at her at first and then barked in agreement. "Are you hungry Xander ?" Quora asked the puppy whilst walking to the kitchen.

She pulled out some old meat from her fridge and heated it up. Turning around, she nearly stepped on the puppy causing it to scurry in surprise. She laughed and placed the meat in a bowl on the floor and said "Eat Xander and eat it all. I don't like wasting."
