Bad Boy and Basic Brunette

Chapter 1

((((Above is Jasper))))
----------------------------------
I woke up in the middle of the night by Radar, he was barking hysterically at absolutely nothing. Since I was up, I went into the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar and headed back to my room. When I checked the time it read, 4:27 a.m, I could still go to sleep for a few hours before I went to work. I laid down and disappeared under the covers and snuggled my pillow. I shut my eyes and drifted off into sleep.

My alarm woke me up with a harsh tone and I quickly shut it off. My eyes slowly opened and I pulled the cover off my body. I got up and did my usual morning routine, grabbing Radar on my way out. I always took him to the shop, the customers loved petting and playing with him. He jumped in my car after I laid out a towel on the passenger seat, I hated dog hair on my black seats. I drove down to the shop and put on my apron and gloves.

While I groomed the pets, children continued give Radar treats and lots and love, he loved it. When I looked up from the cat I was grooming, I saw an attractive man in a leather jacket walking around the shop, cigarette between his fingers. I got instantly mad.

"Um, excuse me?" I yelled, catching his attention. "Yeah, you can't smoke in here." I stated, brushing the cats fur.

He flicked the ashes off the cigarette and inhaled another whiff of smoke, staring straight into my soul.

I frowned and walked around to him. "Seriously, please take it outside," I grabbed the broom and swept up the ashes.

"But I wanted to look at your fish for sale." He laughed, gesturing towards the fish tanks.

I looked up at him, yes up, he was six feet tall and I was a good 5'4. "Well then put your cigarette out, please."

"As you wish," he flicked the cigarette onto the wooden floor and stepped on it, putting it out, "happy?"

I wanted to scream at him, he was a complete asshole. But, I calmly asked him to leave instead. "Please go, and take your cigarette butt with you." I walked away, not wanting to look at him any longer. I resumed brushing the cat as I heard the doors close. I never want to see that jerk ever again.

At the end of the day, I packed up my things and grabbed my dog, waving goodbye to my colleagues.

I got into my car and drove back home, stopping at the cafe for a coffee. I greeted James and asked for my usual. He nodded and passed the order paper to Kate. When my drink was ready, I waved goodbye to the workers and got back into my car, starting the ignition.

I drove back home and was thrilled to be there for the rest of the evening. I was one of those people who genuinely enjoyed being home a lot.

Just as I began to get comfy, my phone buzzed from my pocket. A text from Nikki saying "don't forget about the party, I want to go shopping for an outfit and you're coming with." I replied with a simple "ok" and clicked my phone off. I didn't even want to go to the damn party, now I have to buy a slutty outfit for it? Great.

A few hours passed and I decided that I should go pick Nikki up to go shopping. The party didn't start until nine and so that left us with a few hours to shop.

I drove to her house and walked into it, not even bothering to knock.

"Hi Mrs. Rayner, how are you this evening?" I greeted Nikki's mom.

She put her tea down and smiled brightly, "oh I'm wonderful, thank you"

"You're welcome," I smiled back, "is Nikki ready? "
Mrs. Rayner held up a finger and hollered for Nik. A few moments later she came running down the stairs in a pencil skirt and crop top, greeting me with a smile and heavy breathing.
