lion whisperer

You were born and raised in Africa only to become a lion keeper.  Your father is famously known as the the Lion Whisperer, and now some of that responsibility has passed on to you.

You had visitors everyday and you showed tourists how the lions live day by day. 

"The lions are very social animals." you spoke to the group of people from the other side of the fence, which where you were petting the lions.

"Their social lives are built on respect and trust, and even though they've been raised by humans; they still have that slight mindset of a wild animal."

Someone raised their hand to ask a question.  "I thought your father was the only one who could communicate with the lions."

"Actually my father and I are the only ones who are allowed past that gate.  I grew up with some of these lions, nonetheless I'm close to all of them."

As you were speaking, a tall, blonde boy caught your eye.  The tour leader took them to their next destination, and you went back to the den to get more meat for the lions.

While doing so you bumped into the tall, blonde boy.

"Oh I'm sorry.." you laughed nervously.

"That was really cool," the boy said quickly before you left.  "I think your relationship with those animals is amazing."

You grinned, "Thank you...I don't know how I got so lucky."

He laughed.

"What's so funny?"

He took his hand out, "Hi, my name is Lucky."

You realized the pun and laughed as well.  "Nice to meet you, I'm y/n."

The lions growled at Lucky, which made him jump a little.

"Oh don't mind them..they usually get threatened by anyone who's better looking than them." you smirked.

Lucky blushed, "Now I'm wondering how you're still alive."

You had an immediate response until someone called his name. 

"Hold on!" he nicely told his sister.

You wanted to get more out of him.  "How long are you in town for?"

"Three more days.."

"Do you have any plans?"

"Not much," he replied anxiously.  "Would it be weird if I came back?"

"No, I would love for you to come back."

"Great, do you have a number or?"

You took out a business card, "Call the number at the bottom."

Lucky leaned in for a hug, "Alright I'll see you soon, y/n."

"Bye, bye."
