Dear Angel,

I hope you got my previous letter. In case you're wondering, there's no way you can reach me now. I cannot disclose my address, I'm afraid. Anyways, pay attention to the story, kiddo.

C H A P TE R 2 : A  S M A L L  B R I T I S H  B O Y

It was just another Tuesday. When everyone in town lazed around, mourning for the Friday that seemed to never arrive at all. Harry was in his office, surrounded by stuffed bears and other EXTREMELY cute things when a little dachshund walked inside, followed by a slightly high pitched voice. 'Come back, you annoying dog. I won't take you walking if you disobey me EVER again. I am the boss here.' The puppy looked up at the boy's face innocently and the boy looked genuinely angry that this tiny thing would go against his word.

' That's a cute little puppy you got there, sir. I'm Harry, by the way.'

'Well, good for you.'

' Umm.. and you are..??'

' Thinking about telling you to shut the hell up. ' The boy wearing overalls snapped.

' I see, you're very nice. Do you want to take a seat? You look tired.'

The boy suddenly looked at Harry and smiled. 'Yes I do want to take a seat. And get me some water. I AM tired'

Owen gave the boy water (-and a wet towel to wipe his face, a low chair to rest his foot and the T.V. remote because his favorite show was on.- as per his request) before asking his name again.

'Tomlinson. Louis Tomlinson. You have heard of me, of course'

'... I'm new here ?? :( '

' Ah, that explains it. I pretty much run this town. Nobody here lifts a finger without my permission, you know? I have a sister and a brother. Both are a waste of space. And this is my mum's dog. His name is snoopy or rocky or something'

'It's a girl. Her name's Lily'

Lennan stared at Owen and lifted an eyebrow to look intimidating but looked about as scary as a newborn corgi.

'It's written on her collar.' Owen explained.

'Don't interrupt me while I speak. Is that clear?' Lennan said in his not-so-deep voice.

'Yes...?'

'Good. So as I was saying, We stay in the east of town and my mother is a single parent. We moved here from England a couple years ago, just the four of us.' He went on to rant about a million and one things but Owen found himself losing attention on what the boy was speaking and focusing on the funny way he pronounced certain words. He had no clue why he found it unbelievably handsome. After what seemed like no time at all, Lennan stood up 'I have to go now, Harry. Mum's going to be annoyed. Bye.' He did a mini swirl-like motion and went out the door, leaving a dumbfounded Owen staring at his cute little back.

'What a peculiar creature' the vet thought to himself.
