NICCOLE'S POV
"Quillon what you did back there was so unfair!" I asserted, huffing. We had finished watching the movie and where now strolling down the sidewalks
With his hands tucked in his pocket, he stipulated "How unfair?"
"Unfair enough for me to not finish watching my movie dumbass. Now I'll never know if Christina got back with Alex or not" I grumbled
"It's a romance movie. What do you think? Of course they would have gotten back together" he objected
"I'm not dumb. So I know. But there's a difference between being told, or just knowing it, and actually sitting down to watch it happen" I fumed
"Fine. If you want us to go back and rewatch the whole movie again, just so you can watch the ending properly, we can go back" he grunted
"Really? You would do that for me?" I plaster a smile on my face batting my lashes, knowing full well just how much it's killing him to say it, because I can tell he really doesn't like romance movies. So to go back to watch it again, just for me to watch the ending, was really something.
"Yes, I'd do that for you. I'd do anything for you" He confessed
"You're no fun at all! How can you let yourself be pushed around by a girl like that? And you're a billionaire! Don't you know I was only teasing? If you did like that to every person that came your way, they'll surely take advantage of you. In life, only go after what you want. Don't make yourself unhappy, to please someone else!" I Huff, lecturing him, shoving against his chest
And he caught my hands in his, I struggled to release it, but he wouldn't let it go. And when I finally raised up my head to stare at him, he began speaking
"Women! I don't understand you bunch. Niccole you just told me that you wanted to go back there, to watch the movie again. And I agreed, and now I'm being weak? I'm no longer fun? You wanted me to have refused? What would that have made me? Inconsiderate, hard and arrogant, men can't even play by the rules if you women keep breaking and resetting Hem every damn time."
"I don't want you to play by the rules Quillon. I want you to play right by me"
"And what does it mean to play right by me?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow, we were literally still in the middle of the road, with him holding my two hands pressed against his chest
"It means, to predict me. Know my wants and desires. Know when my heart's truly saying No, even when I have a mouth that's screaming yes. Know when all I want for you to do, is stay, even when my every action is aimed at driving you away. Know my thoughts before I think them"
"But I'm not God. How do you expect me to do that?"
"Do you believe in God?" I sidetrack
"Of course I do. A supreme being who created us and care for us. Back to my question..."
"You're smart. Figure it out. I should say though, the more you're around me, the closer you get to figuring it out" I implied smiling
"I'd have to be around you, really really often then" he reasoned, smiling
"Now, can you let go of my hand now, so that we can at least begin our strolling, into a land of nowhere?" I ask, cocking a brow
"Sure I can" he released my hand smiling, but didn't let go of it. Lacing it with his, by and dropping it to his side, we began strolling down.
A few minutes later, we walk by a pet shop and hear a woman just by the door of the shop, scream out
"Who wants a free dog? It may look terrible but I promise you, it can help you guard your houses!"
"Quillon..." I motion for him to stop, let's turn around, something nags at me, to go see the dog she's talking about. I'm not even really a dog fan, but I can't help the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach
"Oh, a beautiful couple! Even better. I promise you,you may not like the dog at first, but this one's loyal" she gushed, when she saw us
"Niccole you want to purchase a dog?" Quillon queried. He was probably surprised. I too was surprised at my own behavior.
"Ma'am I just want to see the dog. No one's saying anything about buying yet" I breathed out, uneasy
And she goes in and brings out the dog, and I almost stop breathing, when I see it. The dog is thin, old, ugly and dirty, not to mention, badly battered and badly bruised. I have to step back, leaning on Quillon for support, I was shocked. Who would do this to a dog?
"What happened to him?" I whisper, tears coming to my eyes
"This is the most unlucky dog I've ever seen. He's had twenty seven owners and twenty five of them has either beaten him, maimed him or gotten him malnourished"
Without thinking, I utter the next set of words "We'll take him"
