my little dog <3

All bark no bite.

"ugh, another boring day at work" I look at my watch, the time reading 3:30 AM "ok I get off at 5:00 AM so I get to leave soon!" I can believe I have to work over time I think to myself trying to force a smile like always.
                        
                        *An hour later*
"YIPPIE!! I HAVE 30 MINUTES TILL I CAN GO HOME AND SLEEP!!" I say jumping in joy "I hope max isn't worried where I am" I say frowning hoping Max is alright that I had to work a few hours over time. After 20 minutes I start grabbing my stuff sneaking a bag of food in my own bag being very sneaky about it so I don't get caught. As I take my bag and leave i wonder if Max is alright. I start heading to my car unlocking the door and throwing my bag in the passengers seat.

As I get in the car and start it all I can think is why I had to work overtime "that was actually so stupid. I didn't get payed for the overtime. At least I stole some food so it's not a total waste" I say smiling before driving to my apartment. A few minutes later I arrive at my apartment as I park the car I reach over and grab my bag looking at the window of my apartment I see someone my eyes widen in fear as I shut the door and run to my apartment hoping who ever is in my house didn't hurt max.

I run up the stairs and unlock my apartment in a panic dropping everything when I get inside looking around frantically for who I saw In the window of my apartment "Hello?!" I yell in a panic hoping I was just seeing things. As I yell I see max walking out of a room wagging his tail. I immediately pick him up thinking I was just seeing things "sorry buddy I had to work overtime at work because everyone was sick" I tell him frowning.

I put Max back down and walk back to the apartment door shutting it and locking it before grabbing my bag and taking out the food I stole. "I got food max! I kinda stole it.." I say rubbing the back of my neck. "But hey they should have payed me more for working over time so they kinda deserve it." I say putting the food in the fridge before placing some dog food in max's bowl before heading to the bedroom and laying down pulling out my phone.

"MAXXXXX!!!" I call out to him hoping he will come lay with me. As I wait for him I look at the door which is slightly open. When I look threw the crack I see a tall figure. My eyes widen in horror as I rub them hoping I'm seeing things but before I even look back at the door someone jumps on my "AGH WHAT THE HELL WHO ARE YOU?!" I yell struggling to move from the weight of the person on me "Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. I need you to listen to me alright?" The person says looking into my eyes as I try to calm down. "Who are you??" I ask still very scared. "A-and how did you get into my apartment?!" I say trying not to be more afraid than I already am.

"I'm max. Your dog. Well I'm not a dog I'm really a shape shifter."
