My Dog And My Mate

Chapter 2

SATURDAY
~~~~~~~~~

"Jenna! Lets go!" God I swear my parents don't have any patience.
"Coming!" I shout. Checking in the mirror one last time to make sure I look good.
Just because were going to the store, it doesn't mean I shouldn't look good.
I come down the stairs as my father watches his watch, tapping on it and glaring at me. "You take forever."
I roll my eyes. "Why do you even need to look good?" He asks confused.
"I might meet the love of my life there." I wink walking out the house and into the yard, followed by my dad who pauses to lock the door.
"Not without my permission." A small smile grows on my face. Natural father.
He gets into the driver seat as i sit in the passenger. We put on our seat belts. He starts the car as I press my headphones into my ears and listen to the sound of rain.
Is it weird I like that?
I slowly start to drift off to sleep. Not noticing my dad was blabbing on about something.
The car comes to a stop, I'm guessing we finally reached the store.
I take out my headphones and wrap them around my iPhone.
I step out of the car and look up. The sign read:
BENTLYS' DOG POUND
My heart jumps for joy. "Oh daddy!" I shout, jumping into his arms. He chuckles and wraps his arms around me. "Happy birthday, baby girl." I could feel his goatee on my forehead.
After we let go of each other I skip to the door. Grabbing It and pulling it. "Daddy! The door won't open!" My face turns into a frown.
He chuckles and comes up behind me. Pushing the door open. Ohh it was a push... Door...
I blush and walk in. Ignoring the blonde moment I just had.
A lady with orange hair that went to her shoulders greeted us.
"Hello! Are you Charles wills?" She asks my dad. He nods. She smiles and leads us to a door with millions of barking dogs. She opens the silver door. The sound of their barking filled my ears, almost making me deft.
The lady try's talking over the dogs but fails. She said something about looking around. I go around the cages and look at the dogs.
Brown pit, black and white Dalmatian, two shiba inus, brown and white. And... A big black dog... What is it? I couldn't think of it. And I know all the dogs! Maybe a mix?
"Daddy! I want this one!" I shout. I felt so drawn to it.. Like, he was suppose to be put in my path. We weren't meant to be with each other. I bent down and smile at him. He jumps up and wags his tail like crazy. "Hi buddy." I cooe. He whimpers and claws the cage. Trying hard to get out. I giggle at his adorableness. I reach my fingers in through the cage. His wet nose greets my fingers. I rub his soft snout. He seems to enjoy the touch of me.
My dad comes up behind me.
"This is the one you want?" He asks. I nod and stand up. "That's him."
My dad whistles to the lady. She walks over to us with a leach and brown collar. Ew. I'm totally getting him a new one.
She lets him out and he attacks me with kisses. "Awww oh my god, your so cute."
He's tail goes crazy. My dad chuckles. The dog looks at him and growls. "Bad boy. That's daddy." I reassure him. The dog squints his eyes at him. Then goes back to looking at me.
"Honey you can go to the car with him. I'll be there soon." I smile and nod, taking the leach from the lady. I walk outside with The dog and into the car. He sits on my lap and lays his head and paws on my shoulder. Such a sweet puppy.
Soon my dad is out of the building and into the car. In no time we were home.
I walk the dog into my room, well, now our room. He jumps up on the bed and sniffs it. Then lies down comfortably. "Oh you just make yourself comfortable, boy." I rub his head a little before heading into the bathroom for my shower.
