I was sitting on the couch watching TV when chica walked over to me and sat there staring at me. "What chica?" She barked and jumped on me. "You want to go for a walk?" She barked again and jumped off me. I stood up and grabbed some shoes and my jacket. It's been kind of lonely after Ryan and Matt got an apartment together. So I have the whole house to myself. It's weird.

It's a nice autumn morning. Why waist a nice day.

I then grabed her leash and headed for the he door. I saw Chica was sitting by the front door waiting for me. "You ready to go for a walk?" I said in a baby voice. She started jumping on me then started running laps around me. "Ok. Ok. Sit down. And we'll go." She sat down in front of me and I hooked the leash on her collar. She then stood up and pulled me towards the door. I opened the door and closed it behind me.

When the chilled air hit my face I zipped up the rest of my jacket and started walking across my yard. Chica was pulling. She must be eager to get out of the house.

We walked for a while. Since it's a nice day I don't care about taking her on a longer walk. We were in town when chica started pulling away from me. "Chica, stop, chica." I pulled her back but she kept pulling. "Chica!" I made her sit but that didn't last long. Soon she got back up and started pulling. She then pulled away from me and the leash slipped out of my hands. "Chica!"

She took off down the street. "Chica!" I ran after her coming close to catching her leash several times. I went to step on her leash when I got close to here again but failed and ended up falling over. "Fuck." I stood up, dusted my hands on my jacket, and started running after her again.

Once I got around the corner I saw her sitting with a young girl petting her. The girl was laughing and talking to her like a baby.

The girl had light brown hair and I can't see her eyes because she was looking down at chica. She looked up at me and then stood up grabing chicas leash in her hands.

"I'm guessing that this beautiful dog is yours?" She asked. She has brown eyes with hints of gold in them. And they sparkled when she smiled. I saw that there was a empty styrofoam coffee cup on the ground in a puddle of coffee.

"Yeah. I don't know what got into her. She's never like this." I said. "Bad girl." I looked and directed the last part at chica.

"It's fine." She said handing me the leash. "I'm Mia."

"Mark." I said, "it's nice to meet you." I stook my hand out and she shock my hand. "Again, I'm sorry for her."

"Oh It's fine. Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing that she did run away. " She said and smiled. Her smile made me want to smile, and I did. I looked over at the empty coffee cup. She noticed and looked over at it. "Oh well, guess I don't get coffee before work." She picked it up and tossed it in the trash can close by. She then bent down and petted chica before standing up again.
"Well maybe I can buy you a replacement coffee one day." I said.

"I'd like that." She said. She then started rummaging through her bag and pulled out a small piece of paper and a pen. She wrote something down. "Here." She handed me the paper. "Text me sometime. Well I have to go before I'm late."

"All right. I'll text you." I said. She smiled and petted chica one last time and walked away.

Once she was around the corner I looked down at Chica and patted her head. "Good girl, chica." I said, still petting Chica's head. "Good girl." I started walking the opposite way and chica followed. We slowly made our way back to our house.

Once we were inside and the front door was closed I bent down and unhooked the leash and let her go.

Once free she ran straight out of my sight. I placed the leash on the counter and took my jacket off and placed it over the back of a chair. I then headed up stairs and to my recording room. I decided to play a quick game of Google fued.

After about 20 minutes of playing I had to stop because my sides were hurting and I couldn't breath anymore. I did my outro and stopped recording. I had to sit there for a minute or two and calm down. I don't know what gets into me. That game is just so funny.

Once I was calm I walked back down stairs and went to the fridge. I felt a buzz and pulled out my phone. And there was a piece of paper with it. It was Mia's number. It had her name with a heart above the 'i' and then her number below. I smiled and placed it on the fridge with a magnet. I heard chica bark and then a knock on the door.

"Hold on." I yelled walking over to the door. I opened the door and saw Matt and Ryan standing there.

"You guys just moved out and you are already back? What's wrong with you?" I said walking back to the kitchen. I leaned on the counter and took a sip of the water that I had got out early.

"What's this?" Matt asked. I turned around and saw he was looking at the piece of paper with mia's number.

"Uh, I meet a girl today when I was walking chica." I said taking another sip.

"You just happened to walk into her." Mart said using his fingers to make air quotes around 'walk In to her'.

"Actually chica got loose and ran into her. Knocked her coffee on the ground." I said, "And then I offered to buy her another coffee one day."

"Ah using chica I get it." Ryan said.

"Yeah of course she got loose." Matt added.

"She actually did get loose." I said. I know they won't believe me but oh well.

"Let's go and eat. I'm Hungary." Ryan said.
