The Beginning of Mr. Puggles

Chapter 10 - The Night Goes By Slowly

I looked at the time. It was now 6:15. Come on, seriously? It was an hour and 45 minutes until Vanessa had to shower. You could easily see she was bored, since her and I still weren't allowed to go in Vanessa and Nathan's room.
"Nathan please! I just need to get my supplies and I will be out!" Vanessa begged.
"Why can't I just get it?" Nathan asked.
"Because you told me you didn't want to!" Vanessa groaned, "And I still need to get my things for my shower in like, an hour or two!"
"Fine, I will get your things. And when the hour or two comes, we will explain that. Now give me a minute. What do you need?"
"Ugh just get everything. All my boxes, all my fabrics, my scissors, pencil, phone, thread, and needle. I think that's all." Vanessa said. Nathan came into the living room holding the scissors, pencil, phone, thread and needle. He went back to his room and got all the boxes. Then he got all the fabrics.
"Anything else?" He asked.
"Hmm.. Oh! And one marker and lots of computer paper. Then that is it." Vanessa replied. Nathan got those supplies and gave them to Vanessa.
"Yay, thank you!" She said.
Vanessa placed the phone, boxes, papers and marker in one pile. She placed the fabrics, scissor, pencil, thread, and needle in another pile. Nathan popped his head back in the room.
"Can I have red? Fabric." He asked.
"Why?" Vanessa asked.
"For tonight. Only tonight, then you can have it back." Nathan explained. Vanessa looked at him and finally said, "Fine." She got him the longest piece of red fabric, which was anywhere from 8-10 feet.
"Thank you!" Nathan said and walked out of the room again.

Vanessa turned on her phone and went on a website. She looked at something, which I realized was an order, and wrote down the name in marker on a piece of computer paper. Then she took out a piece of teal fabric and started making measurements. She folded, cut, and sewed it. Soon, it was down. I looked at it. It was a romper. Then, Vanessa took out a scrape from the teal fabric and started cutting and shaping it. She got a small rectangular piece of fabric, wrapped it around the shape, and then sewed it on. Then, she took out a glue bottle from one of the boxes and glued it on a clip, which was buried in the fabrics. A bow. Vanessa folded the romper, put it in the box, and put the bow in the box as well.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

Vanessa did this for a while, and got many orders done. She then called all the numbers, and then told them she would deliver them. Tonight. I was honestly shocked, because by the time she finished her calls, it was nearly 7:00. I wasn't going to judge though. I mean, yes, Vanessa had lots of boxes to deliver, but I suppose she could just cancel some if she needed.
"Okay, Mr. Puggles. I suppose I'll bring you,too." Vanessa said. Yay! "Nathan! I need you again!" Vanessa called out to Nathan.
"Yes, Your royal highness, what do you need?" Nathan asked jokingly. Vanessa smiled and rolled her eyes. "I need you to put all these supplies away and put them back where you found them. Keep the boxes here. Me and Mr. Puggles are going for a ride. We're gonna deliver boxes." Vanessa said.
"Okay. Have fun." Nathan said as he started grabbing things and walked back to his room to put it away.
"I also need shoes, silly." Vanessa said. "Oh, oops." He said and went back in the room, getting her shoes.
"Thank you!" Vanessa said and got on her shoes. Soon we left. Vanessa placed all the boxes in the front seat next to her, then placed me in a cage and put me on the arm rest. She started driving to different addresses.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

It was quite fun, driving to all different streets and such. By the time we had 4 boxes left, it was 7:30. A half hour and Vanessa would have to go in the shower. Haha, hour and shower rhyme. Anyways, we drove past our house to the other direction. Oh my lord, how far could this house be? It was also annoying, because sometimes I was fall up and slam my poor precious head into the cage wires. I swear those things have literately no respect what so ever. Vanessa started to go slower. I looked up. A red light. Of course, a stupid red light. We couldn't be at the house, could we? It took a while, but 10 minutes later, we arrived at the house.
"The good thing is, all 4 of these houses are near each other. So it shouldn't take long. Also, no one should be home at the houses, either." Vanessa explained. She unbuckled, took out the box for the house, and left it by the door step. Then she hopped back into the car and drove to another street, which took less than a minute. She dropped off one more box, walked down two houses, and dropped off another box. Then she hopped into the car again, and drove a little further. About 2 minutes, this time. She once again hopped out, dropped off a box, and went back into the car again.
This time she turned around, and we drove for home. It would probably take about 10 minutes for us to arrive back. And then add an additional 5 minutes about since driving through all the other streets. About 15 minutes. If I had to take a guess, it was probably 7:40. There was no traffic, which I wasn't surprised. Barely any traffic on these roads. Vanessa turned on the radio. "I Love You" by Avril Lavigne came on. What a coincidence, since Vanessa loves Nathan. And Nathan loves Vanessa. If I could talk, then I would remind Vanessa of what a coincidence it was.

Do you need
Do you need me
Do you need me-e-e

Your
So
Beautiful
But that's
Not why I love you
Im not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you

Quite a sweet song, must I say. Avril's voice wasn't so bad, either. Vanessa drove back in silence, occasionally humming.

<><><><><><><><><><><><>
We finally got home. I ran inside, and looked at the clock. 7:56. Wow, almost on time.
"Hello." Vanessa said and sat down on the couch, next to Nathan.
"Hi. How was your trip?" Nathan asked.
"It was good. Few people weren't there, so I left the box at their door." Vanessa replied.
"Did you deliver everything?" Nathan asked again.
"Yep." Vanessa looked at the time. 7:59.
"I'm gonna shower now." She announced.
"Okay, I need to get the fabric to cover up everything, so you can't see." Nathan got up and got the fabric.
"Okay, follow me." He said. I walked near the room and watched what I could see. He held up the fabric so all Vanessa could see was red. She got her stuff, and walked out. Then she headed to the bathroom across the hall.

<><><><><><><><><><><>

I heard the water go off. Yay, now Vanessa was out. I heard clothes moving. Then I rolled over and saw Vanessa's feet moving. The washing machine turned one. I watched Vanessa pick up the bra and thong... She threw it in the wash. Oh my god.. I heard the blow dryer turn on. Goodbye, I'm done. I jumped up and walked away. That's loud...
