Count on me

Chapter 11

 Count on me

Tears began to sting in my eyes. All of a sudden I thought of Jack and I ran up to a fireman. “That’s my home! My cat is in there, please save him!!”, I cried to him. “Calm down Miss, I’ll see what I can do”, he replied to me putting a hand on my shoulder. He then walked away to another fireman. I walked behind him and I could hear him tell there is still a cat up there. “I’m afraid there is nothing we can do anymore…The fire has spread to fast. I’m sorry Miss”, the fireman said to me. I just felt down on the floor and cried. “Are you okay Miss?” A police officer walked up to me. I looked up to him. “No. That is my home”, I cried to him. They just told me my cat is dead”, I cried. “Okay, I need you to calm down, is there anyone we can call for you?”, he asked me with a soft tone. “Yes..”, I sobbed. “My boyfriend, Bruno”, I answered and I pulled out my phone to look for Bruno’s number. The police officer took the phone from me and called Bruno. “Heeey baby! Where are you?! Dinner is ready”, he said cheerful. “Mr. Bruno?”, the officer said. “Who is this?”, Bruno asked. “I am Mr. Kellee, a police officer”, he started. “What is it? Is Natalie okay?!”, Bruno interrupted him. “Sir, I need you to stay calm. Your girlfriend is okay, but you need to get to Sunset Drive. There was a fire in her home”, he told Bruno. “Okay, I’ll leave right now!”, he said and they hung up. The police officer gave me my phone back. I just took it without even looking at him. I just sat there, crying. My home was gone, my cat was dead…I had nothing left. All I could do was cry.

“NATALIEEEEEEE! BABY! WHERE ARE YOU?!”, I heard a familiar voice scream. “BRUNOOOOOOO!”, I yelled back. He found me and kneeled before me on the ground. “Oh Bruno!”, I cried and he grabbed my head and put it against his chest. “Shhhhh. I’m here baby”, he said while stroking my hair. “What happened sweetheart?”, he asked me. I looked at him and tried to tell him what happened. “Jack is dead, my house is burned.. I have nothing left”, I cried and tears formed in his eyes. “Oh sweetie”, he hugged me. Our hug got interrupted by the police officer. “Miss?”, he said to me. Bruno and I got up. “Yes”, I said sobbing. “We need your information, so we can contact you”, he said getting his note pad. “Why?”, Bruno asked him. “We’re going to investigate this. It’s just standard procedure”, he answered. “Can I get your name please?” “Natalie. Natalie Willington”, I answered and he wrote it down. “And you?”, he said looking at Bruno. “Peter Hernandez”, he answered. “And your phone number, Miss Wellington..”, he said and I gave him mine and Bruno’s number. “We just got home yesterday from our trip to Miami”, Bruno told the officer. “And did you notice anything strange when you got home Miss Wellington?”, he asked me. “No…No.. I didn’t went home. I went to his place, when we got back in L.A. After that I went to work this morning”, I told him. “Her friend Sarah looked after her cat while she was gone”, Bruno said. “I’ll need her information too”, he said writing her name down. I told him her name and her address. “Why? Is she a suspect?”, Bruno asked a little anger showing in his voice. The police officer looked at him and said; “We just need to talk to her, maybe she noticed something. Anything could be helpful”, he said. “Did someone do this on purpose?”, Bruno asked shaking his head in disbelieve. “Like I said before, Mr. Hernandez, this is just standard procedure.” And with that being said he left. Bruno and I just stood there.

“Oh god, I don’t have a home anymore! Where should I go?”, I cried. Reality was really kicking in now. “Maybe I should just go back to my mom…”, I said thinking out loud. “Baby”, Bruno said interrupting my thoughts. “Why don’t you come live with me?”, he asked grabbing my face, forcing me to look at him. “What?”, I said confused. “I want you to live with me”, he said with a smile. “I… Bruno.. I don’t know what to say.” I know we were dating for a while now, but moving in with him was something different. “Please say yes!”, he pleaded falling on his knees and folding his hands. I looked at him, he looked at me, his eyes twinkling, showing is sexy dimples. He even took off his fedora and now holding it against his chest. “I….” I don’t think he could hold his breath any longer. “Okay, yes I will move in with you”, I said with a smile. He chuckled and then jumped up. He grabbed me by my waist and spun my around. “You make me the happiest man on earth!”, he said putting me down and placing a kiss on my forehead. “Although the occasion is very said.”
