Heyy!!! I am back!

----------------------------------------------------

I pace back and forth in front of our local Starbucks, crossing my arms to keep warm.

It was about 20 degrees out, and it was snowing pretty softly.

"Hurry up Nataly." I mumble to myself in frustration, tucking my hair behind my ears.

She was supposed to meet me here 20 minutes ago, but apparently, she's planned on not showing up.

I grunt as I begin to slightly shiver.

I dig my left hand into my coat pocket and start to fumble through some junk to find my car keys, when I feel something rub against my leg.

I turn around almost immediately, and see nothing.

I look down and see the cutest little thing ever.

It was a puppy.

And he looked colder than I did.

I bend down, and pick up him up.

"Hey, you lost little guy?" I ask standing up and rubbing him behind his ear.

He starts to wag his tail as if he liked the little massage behind his ear.

I giggle in response and hold him up in front of me.

"Nataly will be okay with keeping you right?" I ask him.

He sticks his tongue out and pounces on me, making me stumble back.

"Easy boy!" I laugh as he licks me."We need to name you... do you like Rumple?" I ask him. "Rumple It is." I laugh in approvement.

We drive to my apartment and I place him onto the warm carpeted comfort of my 'home'.

Well, mine and Nataly's home. We shared an apartment..

He starts to run around the floor in happiness.

I walk over to the fridge and grab last nights lasagna leftovers.

Taking a bowl from the cupboard, I put the lasagna in it, warm it up, and place it on the kitchen tiles.

"Rumple! Here boy!" I call kneeling down in front of the bowl.

He rushes over to the food, and begins to devour it in hunger.

I stand up and put some water into a separate bowl, and place it next to the lasagna.

As I'm watching Rumple eat the food, I hear the front door open.

I glance over, and see Nataly walk in, pale from the cold.

"Hey!" I jump up, greeting her with a smile.

"'Hey' yourself! Where were you?" She asks taking off her coat and tossing it the couch.

"Coffee shop, just like you told me. I just got... distracted." I reply staring down at my feet.

"By what?" She asks her widening slowly."Did you bring a boy home!?" She asks with a shocked look on her face.

"Sorta..." I say as Rumple comes and stands next me.

"Oh my gosh..." I hear her say quietly. "Oh my gosh..." She repeats.

"I saw him on the sidewalk, and he practically told me take him. Please, can we keep him?" I ask picking up Rumple and petting him.
