Change of Law and Heart

Chapter 9: Wishy Washy

I meant to post this chapter last week but forgot to do so. Thank you for being patient!

A wet, slobbery tongue was dragged across my face almost three times before noticing it a dog licking my face. Pushing whoever decided to wake me up on my day off and sitting up on my bed, I use one of the many blankets on here and wiped off the leftover dog slobber on my face.

Whoever was licking my face decided to go in for another assault on my face and push their cold, moist nose pass my arms protecting my face. It must have been Vivian by the feel of the snout and the weight of the body. She continued her mission on covering my face with slobber, help me!

Not wanting to be suffocated to death by her licking me, I stand up off of my bed and once again wipe all the substance off of my face. She hops off the bed with me and gives my exposed calf a lick for good measure. I do love her with all of my heart but sometimes it gets a bit annoying of all the licking she gives. Especially at random times; she's even done it in the shower, don't ask me how she got in there in the first place.

The clock on my desk across the room read something on the lines eight something; my eyes are blurry from only waking up a few minutes ago. I rub them to help wake them up like the rest of my body before leaving my room with my phone in hand and heading down stairs, not caring what my appearance looked like at the moment.

Right as my foot landed on wooden floor near the entrance of the house, my phone began buzzing in my hand, almost scaring the shit out of me; it was too early in the morning for this bullshit. The caller ID on the screen made me immediately pick up: Will was calling me.

"Is everything alright?" Were the first words to leave my mouth with haste and worry about something that might have happened to him. With everything that has been happening, you wouldn't blame.

Nothing came from his end for a moment and more dread slowly boiled in the pit of my stomach. Finally a quiet chuckle could be heard from the other end. "Yes, mom. Everything is alright over here, nothing to worry about." Now I knew he was pulling my leg for the fun of it.

"Oh shut up. With everything going on around here, I'm on edge about the smallest of things," I explained with my voice having an edge to it. "Anyway, what's your reason for nearly scaring to death. I could have fallen down the stairs because of."

"Boo hoo; you'll live to see another day princess. Okay, pass that part. Ian, Shawn, and Scott are wanted to go to the shooting range with you, would you like to go or not?" he offered, giving me a really hard offer to pass up on.

As an officer of the law, I can go to the nearby shooting range for free and bring up to three friends for free also. "Sure, let me get okay looking or at least enough for people not needing to give me a second glance while out in public. I'll call you when I'm ready in a bit."

"Good. If you don't call me in the next thirty minutes, I'll go over there myself and drag your as-booty out of bed myself." I knew he would live up to that promise and it wouldn't look pretty for the either of us.

"Okay, talk to you later." With that said, I hung up the phone while yawning and ambled to the kitchen as the dogs chased each other around the house, having their morning fun. Don't ask me how they have this much energy from probably sleeping less than me.

I grabbed an apple and Fruit Loops from the counter and latched my mouth onto the apple, not fully taking a bite. I set the box back down on the counter next to where Vivian's bowl is and grabbed her bowl. I fill both of the dogs' food bowls and water bowls and set back in their respected areas.

During this whole ordeal, I took random bites at the apple in my mouth to fill my empty stomach. I didn't have dinner last night and was hungry from both not having dinner or a small and pathetic lunch.
