The next day I woke up to find a note taped to my door
' Hey kid I had to go to work there's a bike for you outside and the address is'
And then the house address was written there so I grabbed it and put it in my wallet and got ready. As soon as the door closed behind me Surf was crying so I decided to take her with me because I could just say I was sorry if he didn't want her out
"Come on girl "
Plus I hoped she'd like how to get home if I lost the paper. I was riding around just taking in everything and then before I knew it the lead broke and Surf was running down the middle of the street
" shit SURF COME BACK "
I peddled harder trying to get her but she was so fast and just when I thought all was lost and I was in for it when Andy got home a guy with pink hair and a surfboard under his arm came out of nowhere and she jumped on him.
" oh my god I am so sorry I don't know what happened the lead broke and "
" hey ... hey "
He said between laughs
" It's ok really I know her wait are you American "
" yes why "
I was suddenly aware that I didn't know where I was and I think he could tell because he put out his hand and said
" Bax "
" Kimberly "
He had a little smirk and I noticed his septum ring. With a smirk
" don't worry I don't bite that hard "
I tied the lead to Surfs collar and he said
" I was just going to grab a bite do you want to come "
" Sure "
I waited till he was ready and started to follow him on his bike. We ended up at a burger place and I just got a kids' meal and he just looked at it with a questioning look
" What I'm not that hungry "
" fine but don't try to steal mine when that little bit is gone "
" I won't "
I opened the box and started to take the little bit out
" so where are you from in America "
" Sorry "
" Right sorry like there's this girl Summer and she's from New York so I was just wondering where you're from "
" ok umm well I was born in Vegas but I did most of my growing up in Montana "
" Interesting "
" you don't know anything about Montana do you"
" not a thing "
I started to laugh and so did he and then before I knew it I had thrown a fry and so did he but his had ketchup on it and my long white long sleeve shirt took the attack
" oh I'm so sorry Vegas "
" oh it's fine Bax I can just go home and change "
" I'm so sorry "
" I said it's ok I'm not mad "
I tried to get the excess off
" you could barrow my shirt "
" you just want to see me in your clothes don't you ... no "
We finished eating and he asked if he could ride with me back home and I said sure because it seemed like he knew where he was going.
We stopped in front of the house
" Well this is us "
I looked at the house patting Surf on the head
" wait you're staying with Andy Mixion "
" yeah why "
He seemed almost scared for a moment 
" hey I don't mean to be so forward but can I give you my number "
" Sure "
I handed him my phone and he took a selfie and handed it back. I made my way into the house and I found it odd how he changed so fast when I found out where I lived
" What an odd guy right Surf "
I sent him a text so he had my number. Soon after Andy got home and asked what I did and I said I just rode around and it was clear that he was trying to hide the fact that he was drunk. After he fell asleep on the couch I went to my room and locked the door after Surf came in, she had a dog bed in here when I got here so I'm guessing this was her room before it was mine which I'm totally fine with
" good night Surf "
