Love Who Loves You Back

Unexpected meeting

I stared at him for a while as I tried to comprehend what was going on. 'Cmon Chessi he's gonna be weirded out if he catches you staring' I thought to myself. I took another drag of the cigarette and exhaled the smoke from my lungs. I put the cigarette out and lean back on my arms and put my head back closing my eyes, enjoying the sun. Suddenly, I feel a pressure on my legs and I look down to see a small bulldog puppy attempting to crawl into my lap. I giggle and pick him up and cradle him like a baby. "Oh my gosh! Your so precious!" I giggle down at him and hear the same beautiful German accent laced voice. "Pumba! No!" Bill runs over to me, his flannel shirt tied around his waist flowing behind him. "I am so sorry! He's never run away from us before!" He says looking right at me, only a few feet away. I stand up still cradling the pup. "Oh no it's fine. He's so cute." I giggle and walk over to Bill and transfer Pumba over to Bill's arms. "Thank you. I'm Bill." He uses one of his hands to hold Pumba and holds the other hand out to me. I smile softly at him and take his hand and shake it. "I'm Chessi." He smiles back at me. "Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. It's nice to meet you." I blush softly. "Same to you." I look down and realize we are still holding hands. I blush harder and gently pull my hand away. "I haven't seen you around. You knew to this area?" He asked. "Yeah. I'm from Ohio. Me and my friend are here for a year as a trip." His face drops slightly. "Only a year huh?" I nod. "Yeah unfortunately. I wish we could stay longer. It's so beautiful here" I say smiling. He nods. "Hey how about you and your friend come over later and we can treat you to dinner maybe? Kind of like a welcome to the neighborhood kind of thing." He says smiling softly. "We'd love that. Thank you!" I look back at the house. "Well I better get inside. Bri is gonna think I got kidnapped." I giggle softly. "It was nice meeting you Bill" I look down at Pumba. "You too little guy!" I let his head and smile as I wave to him and walk back inside, trying to wrap my mind around what just happened.
