Lover's passage

chapter 12

After Grayson and I got cleaned up we went home and ordered some Chinese food before watching a movie on Netflix. Halfway through the movie I finish my food and wipe the grease from my face. 

"Sooo..." I trail off before lifting my head from Grayson's shoulder. "We should get a pet!" I say excitedly but frown when I see Grayson practically choke on his coke. "No" He simply says before leaning back to watch the movie again. 

"fine," I mumble before moving to the other side of the couch. 

"I mean it" He gives me a stern look and I hold out my pinky. "I pinky promise we will never get a pet together." He gives me a satisfied nod before interlocking our pinkies and shaking.

Grayson left early for work so naturally, I got out of bed at 11:00 and am now grabbing his keys to his jeep. I'm obviously going to the shelter to get a dog or a cat or something. I never go back on a pinky promise, I told Grayson WE would never get a pet together but I never said I would never get a pet alone.

I drive down the street and to a local shelter. Hopping out of the car I grab some cash that I had been saving up and walk inside. A kind man at the register tells me to look around and to let him know if I was interested in any of the pets. I walk around and see so many cute dogs run to the front of their cages and bark happily at me. I convince myself that Grayson would be beyond pissed if I came home with thirty dogs. I walk all the way to the end and was about to turn back when I saw a glob in the corner of one of the cages. I look closer and see that its a pit bull curled up in the corner. I look at the dog and see the sadness in its eyes. I quickly walk up to the man at the register and ignore the cages behind him with the cats in them I look him in the eyes and say "I've found my baby I'd like to take home" 

He gives me a smile before gesturing to show him which one it is. I show him the small skinny pit bull in the corner and he looks slightly surprised.

"M'am we found this one on the streets and we aren't sure of her history so she might be violent."

"It doesn't matter she's the one for me," I state plainly. He reluctantly opens the cage and I walk in bending over so the dog is closer. "Come on baby I'm going to take you home," I whisper to her and her head immediately perks up. I give her a grin and rub her back and ears before standing up and walking out of the cage. 

"Come on Delilah lets go." I pat my thigh for her to come and she jumps up before rushing over to me. The man leads me to the register and I buy a leash and a collar for her. I look past the man's shoulder and see a pair of green slits staring at me. Peeking my head over the man's shoulder so I can get a better look I let out a massive grin when I see a green-eyed black hairless cat staring at me.

"I'd like the cat too, please." 

The man looks at the cat I'm pointing at and then he looks at me with a confused look shaking his head he grabs a cage and takes the cat and puts him in there. I hold a curious Delilah away from the cage and pay the man before walking out to the car. 

On my way home I stop at the pet store and pick up some toys, food, and a bed for Delilah and food, mouse and tower for Olive. Rushing home I check the time before stepping out of the car. Praise the freakin lord Grayson doesn't get home for another hour. 

I set everything up in the house the dishes for them to eat out of in the kitchen and the dog's bed in our bedroom. The tower for Olive went into our bedroom in the corner for now. When Delilah discovered Olive she would inch up to the cat and sniff it but Olive would let a little swipe on the snout to warn Delilah if she got to close. I decided to cook Grayson dinner to hopefully put him in a good mood before he found out about the pets. 

I soon hear the door open and Grayson yelling that he was home. He stops in the doorway of the kitchen and looks at me with a bit of shock "What's the special occasion?" 

"Oh, nothing special just making dinner for my other husband." 

He smirks before wrapping a hand around my waist and kissing me.

"No other husband would have enough patience to handle you." He says before walking to the stairs to go to our room. 

oh, you won't be saying that in a few minutes. 

last time I checked Delilah was taking a nap in her bed in our room and Olive was perched in the tower that was next to our window watching the people walk down below. I could tell once Grayson walked up the stairs he was heading to our bedroom. I stir the pasta and try not to hear the groan from Grayson

"What the hell is this!"
