When I had finally gotten over the initial shock of seeing Pickle Toes in my driveway, I finally decided it was time to get my desired hugs.
I pushed open my heavy, oak wood door and ran out into the dark, rainy night.
"PICKLE TOES, IT'S REALLY YOU!" I shouted, feeling the hot tears of joy I've begun to become so familiar with, pour down my face. No words could describe the emotions that overtook me in that instance. I craved his touch, the ecstasy he gave off after every hug.
Pickle Toes turned towards me, his bright blue-green eyes piercing my brown ones. His handsome face twisted into a placid smile.
"Ah, Randolph, my old friend." He said, joy present on every feature of his face as he stretched out a hand for me to shake. I didn't hesitate for a moment and shook his hand, hungry for more. I licked my lips in desire as I opened my arms, readying myself for a huge hug, a bear hug.
He gasped, "Randolph, are you insane?" He asked, worry suddenly overtaking all of the joy he showed, just seconds before. Despair swelled inside my chest as I allowed more tears to slip down my face.
"I'm so sorry!" I wailed, the sudden feeling of sorrow washing over me. "I've just been getting so emotional lately since you left me to expand your hug dealing business!" I sobbed violently, collapsing onto the hard, concrete floor.
Pickle Toes patted my head, comfortingly. "I know what will make you feel better." He said, a slight smirk tugging at the edges of his lips, "but we can't do it here. We must be in private where no one can see our hug deal." He pondered where we could safely commit our transaction.
"I know!" I shrieked, gleefully, "let's go in your van!" He nodded in agreement as I smiled, excited to finally obtain my long-desired hug.
