"A pet shop?"
"A pet shop."
"Seriously?"
"Yes!"
"Come on! Where are we really going?"
"A pet shop!"
"I still think you're joking!"
"I'm not!" Jacob shut the car door, and started walking to the store. "Why are you not following me?"
"Because I know that this is not where we're going!"
"It is! I promise! Just come in!"
"Fine."
"Good." By now Jacob and Jase were both slowly making their way to the store.
"Puppies!" Jase screamed this as soon as he got a glimpse of what awaited inside, and then proceeded to start running towards the store.
"I knew you'd like it." Jacob started running after Jase in hope of catching up to him.
"You better not say-"
"I told you-"
"Better not say so!"
"So."
"So puppies or kittens?"
"Kittens."
"I can't speak to you ever again."
"That'll be a little hard considering the fact that I'm moving in with you."
"Fine. But we can never get a cat!"
"Oh look at this puppy!" Jacob reached down and picked up one of the pug puppies.
"We should get it."
"Can we, please?" Jacob starting begging, and set the dog back in the pin.
"I've always wanted a dog, let's do it."
"You're the best!" Jacob started giving a smile that was so big, it looked like it belonged to a little kid who came downstairs Christmas morning.
Jase started smiling his bright smile back at Jacob, and they locked eyes and started leaning into each other.
"Do you folks need any help?" The employee came out of nowhere and killed the vibe between Jacob and Jase.
"I...uh....think we're...we're good. Thank you."
"Actually I think we're going to get a dog. A pug I think?" Jase asked Jacob.
"Yes, that's great!"
"Will you be open around seven thirty?"
"We close at eight o' clock."
"We'll be back soon."
