Just Keep Running

Chapter 5

I was running in my dream. Running from Cara. Why? What was she doing chasing after me? The dream scared me especially when Michael woke me up at 4:00 A.M. By yelling in my door, "Breakfast is ready!!" Great, today was the big day! All my drawers were open and my closet was empty. What the hell is going on? I put my hair up in a bun and took off my makeup. I trudged downstairs. My hair was getting darker. I need some sun! When I walked downstairs Michael had two plates laid out. One for me and one for him. Today was our anniversary. Today was five years. That's a long time. On my plate there was a note typed in the format of 'script' I looked blankly at it. "Go to the special room." The special room was the only bedroom on the first floor. That's where me and Michael made love the first time. I know awkward right? I went in there and there were dog stuff everywhere. Toys, a big blanket that said 'Puppy Love', two beds, four bowls, four 15 pound bags of dog food, two boxes of treats, and a bag with shampoo, heart medicine, worm treatment, and flea treatment in it. This is strange. There was a box in the corner. It was open but laid on its side. I opened it and two baby golden retrievers walked out! One wore a hat that said 'Will you' the other wore a hat that said 'Marry me?' And a Tiffany box fell out of one of their mouths. I grabbed the box and opened it. Inside there was a ring. I looked at Michael with tears in my eyes. Joyful tears. I slipped the ring on my left ring finger and nodded yes. He knelt down next to me and we hugged. I didn't want to let go. The puppies ran over to the dog beds where there were two collars. The black one said "Sammie" and all his information, where he lives and that he has worm shots and rabies shots. The other one was the same, but pink and it said "Sadie" I was thrilled. I put the dog collars on the right dogs and they fell asleep in the bed. Michael grabbed my hand and said, "Come on babe, we've got a long day ahead of us."

"Wait, Michael what are we going to do about them when were babysitting?" I asked

"Babe I called Mrs. Mullvaney and she said that Cara would be able to come over here, and now your making $100 a day!" He said excitedly

"Where will she sleep?" I asked

"Basement."

"What? It's cold down there and so dark and the only room there is, is old and small. Plus the door only locks from the outside."

"Maya Mrs. Mullvaney came over at three with all of Caras stuff its official."

"Well that's too bad I'm moving her to the spare room by my parents bedroom, and I'm moving this dog stuff in the master bedroom along with my stuff."

"Why?" Michael asked

"Well that's our room now and my mom was going to give me that room anyway. So when is Cara coming over?"

"When your mom and dad drive by there house to come and get there stuff they will pick the Mullvaney family up."

"Ok well I'll get to cleaning, and where's all my stuff?"

"In the master bedroom.."

"Michael, why is all my stuff in there."

"Well. Maya I knew you would say yes so I was just getting stuff moved in there." Michael said

"Ok. Thanks." I said with a smile. Everything was perfect. He's my fiancée and we are going to have a great future. I love him so much.

It took Michael and I am hour to move everything, but we were done! I looked at my phone and it said 5:43 A.M. Great less than an hour! Ughhhh!

The master bedroom was on the third floor alone it was a x20 by x40. It's huge! I love it. All Michaels' stuff was already in there, so I guess he really did know I would say yes.

Caras stuff was moved in the bedroom below us. I went downstairs where Michael was watching T.V. I came up to the couch and sat down. We cuddled for a while and I fell asleep again. Gosh I sleep a lot.
