I pulled into my driveway and shut off my car ignition. I sat back in my seat and sighed. The entire way home all I could think about was Harry. I just hoped he was alright. I ran my fingers through my hair and undid my belt, then exited my car.
As I started to turn the key in the lock, I heard scratching begin at the bottom of the door. I smiled real big.
"Hey baby!" I said pushing open the door. "How's my boy!" I scooped my beagle puppy, Chester, up off the floor. "Did you miss me?" I kissed Chester's nose and put him back down on the floor. I skipped over to the back door and opened it for Chester who wasn't behind me. I kissed the air to call Chester.
"C'mon boy. Lets go outside!" Chester came bounding down the hallway, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. I laughed at him and stepped outside the door with Chester. He kept tripping over his low hanging ears, and nearly fell a couple times.
"Babe, settle down." I said to Chester. "We don't want you falling on your cute little face!" I bent down and squished Chester's face between my hands, making the skin on either sides of his eyes fold together and make him look like he didn't have any. I kissed his head. "Go pee!" I shooed Chester away.
After Chester had finished his business, we both went inside. I filled up his food dish and checked my phone.
*1 new message*
I unlocked my phone. It was from Lou.
*hey, hurry up girly. Ik you want to look FABULOUS for me and all but do it quicker! I'm starving! I'm about to cool without you!* I laughed at the text I'd received from Louis.
*im coming, I'm coming. Don't get your g-string in a bunch, Hun. ;)* I replied. I locked my phone again and slid it into my back pocket. Going upstairs, I heard claws start to move on the tile floor in the kitchen. Chester was following me.
"C'mon baby." I scooped Chester up into my arms and carried him up the stairs with me. Since no one had come out to greet me, I assumed either everyone was asleep or gone. I live with my brothers and sister and my mom. So, I kept quiet now.
My bedroom door clicked closed and I changed out of my skinny jeans, tank top and heels into my rolled up sweat pants, my "fatty shirt" (a really big shirt" and my toms. Lou had always been jealous of these toms. They're black with red squares sewn into them. I heard Chester start digging in my purse.
"Chester!" I scolded. "What are you doing?" I pulled his face out of my purse. He had a note in his mouth that I hadn't seen. I took the note out of his mouth and unfolded it.
~Dear Alexis,~ it read.
~when you come over for supper tonight, I need to talk to you about something. Love, Haz~
I raised an eyebrow at the note then folded it back up and set it on my bed. "I wonder what he wants to talk about." I said to Chester. "We'll there's only one way to find out." I grabbed my phone out of my pants pocket and my keys out of my purse and walked toward the front door.
"Bye baby." I said to Chester, locking the door from the inside. "See you later." I let the front door click closed behind me, and walked to my car.
