"So that's it then?" I look at him in a stern expression. He tilts his head in response. "God damn, you can be such a handful." I stare down at the mess he's made, he gives a soft whimper in response. "Yeah, yeah, you can eat the mess off the floor." Duke, waggs his tail eagerly as he starts eating the dog food off the floor.
"You know, if I didn't know you better, I would have thought you knocked it over on purpose." I chuckle and he waggs his tail with more enthusiasm. I sweep up the rest of the dog food he missed and threw it in the bin. I grab his leash from the closet, and put on my shoes. Duke, hears me from the kitchen and runs out eagerly. "Oh, you think you're going for walk?!" I look at him and wait for a response, he just looks at me I chuckle. "Come on you."
We walk over to the park and I let him off the leash. I sit down on the bench, and watch him run around. I love to people watch at the park, I'm not creepy or anything; it's just that I'm curious to see how others interact with the enviorment and different people. Oh... oh there goes a kid flying down the hill on his bike, and there goes his mother hollering at him to stop because he didn't have his knee pads on. He's gone into a bubble of hysterics, as he pedals faster to avoid the "wrath" of his mother. I can't help but chuckle.
"Duke?!" I yell out waiting for him to run to me. "Duke?! Lord have mercy where are you?" I start circling the park calling out his name. "Duke?!" I suddenly hear the soft thuds of his paws against the grass, he nuzzles my leg. "Hey there handsome." I pick him up, "what have you been up too?"
"Nothing much really, he's a real charmer your dog." A man with wild curly hair, and the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen.
"He is a charmer." I set him down. "I'm guessing you two spent some quality time together."
"Yes, we have, and he is quite the athelete." He chuckles, as Duke barks happily and runs circles around. "So my name's handsome huh?"
I chuckle, "Mhm, possibly. But, so far it looks like you're the one trying to "woo" me."
"Woo?" He laughs. "I haven't heard that term since high school english; and you caught me. Since you won, I think you need to take me out for a coffee."
"Sure, we can go right now. But you're paying. After all, you're trying to impress me. And who knows, maybe you'll end up impressing me Harry." I wink at him, and put the leash back on Duke. Harry looks at me and opens his mouth, "Mel, my name's Mel." I smile at him.
