My Missing Piece | Sean Lew

Chapter 35 | Excuses

"Okay, what about I'll just call my mom and ask to pick us up and stay there for a bit" Sean says, getting his phone from his pocket.

"Yeah sure that'll do" I replied as I furrowed in confusion. "Where will we stay though?" I added.

"At my house, if that's alright" Sean says, with his phone in his ear

I nodded in response.

"So how did it go?" Mrs.Lew asks, as Sean opens the car door and lets me enter first, following behind me, he closed it shut.

"It went great!" Sean announced, as I looked at him in confusion.

"But we had change of plans" I whispered, making sure enough Mrs.Lew wouldn't be able to see me whisper or at least, hear me whisper.

"Pretend" Sean whispers back

"Fine" I replied, rolling my eyes playfully.

"How did it go, Anne?" Mrs.Lew asks, staring into the loud beeping noises of the vehicles.

"It went great, the food tastes good too!" I replied, looking at Sean with a grin on his face

"Oh, that's good to hear. What did you guys get?" Mrs.Lew asks us

I looked at Sean, trying to get a signal from him to answer.

"Uh.. We ate some sweet and sour pork with mashed potatoes" Sean answers, looking at me with two thumbs up and a wide grin.

"Oh, and I got the same thing" I replied, looking at Sean, I felt a soft laugh escape, as I face palmed.

As we were in the middle of a conversation, Sean immediately noticed that I wasn't wearing my seatbelt.

"Why aren't you wearing your seatbelt?" Sean asks

"Oh, right. Sorry I'm still not used to this transitioning thing here in a different state" I replied

"How'd you say so?" Sean asks

"Well, in our country wearing a seatbelt isn't really required, well for some people. Unless you're in the front seat you're required to wear a seatbelt." I replied

"That's odd" Sean says

----

"Were here!" Mrs.Lew says, removing her buckled up seatbelt.

I got up and unlocked the door, and pushed it slowly.

"Well, thank you" Sean says

I chuckled.

"Anyways, today you're going to meet my dog" Sean greets

"As in, your dog Oreo?!" I asked, as I grinned in excitement.

"Wait, how'd you know about her?" Sean asks, As he furrowed his eyebrows in complete confusion.

"Well, I uh.." I stuttered

"Im hungry so the thought of oreos came up to me!" I lied, looking down at my feet as I felt myself heating up from embarrassment.

"Really, huh?" Sean asks

"Yes!" I answered, trying to conceal the most embarrassing excuse I have ever made.

"Well then, if you say so" Sean replies, as a laugh escapes from his mouth.

"Oreo!" Sean chants, as he opens the door.

I followed, behind him and closed the door carefully.

A black and white patterned dog came running down from the stairs, as she jumps from its hind legs. Sean began cuddling her, and I can say Oreo felt pleased.

"Can I hold her?" I asked, kneeling on the carpet of their living room.

"Yeah sure" Sean replies, carrying Oreo back down, carefully.

"Hi!" I greeted Oreo, as I stroked her back.

I then, cuddled her. And she sure was cuddly. All I can think of was how lucky she was. And she sure did look like an Oreo, with those colors. You're one lucky dog.
