SWEETHEART • H.S

•Six•

I don't know how long I sat on this bench just watching people from a distance but it was suddenly dark.

Only young teenagers making out on the swings were left besides an old couple who just sat like I was.

I decided it was time to go back to my place.

I doubt the shelter was open but it doesn't hurt to check.

Maybe there was a night drop off someone left a dog in.

I walked to the nearest one that I knew about and to my luck I heard a barking dog in one of the cubbies.

I opened the small door and a Rottweiler pounced, knocking me back on my ašs.

He barked in my face but stopped once I scratched his tummy since I couldn't reach all the way up to his head.

His tongue hung out and it looked like he was smiling.

"Hello there"

He licked my face making me laugh and try to push him back.

He immediately climbed off me allowing me to get back up then he jumped up placing his paws up on my thighs.

"Do you wanna come home with me?"

He barked and licked my clothed thigh.

"I'll take that as a yes. Come on Bruno"

I've always like the name Bruno and not only because Bruno Mars was one of my absolute favorites but it just felt right for a pup.

I obviously didn't have a leash or a collar but this pup stayed close to my side and it made me smile.

I doubt any pet stores were open to get what I needed so I just walked the both of us home.

By the time I reached my floor I spotted Harry sitting right outside my door.

"What the hell?"

Once Bruno saw him he started barking up a storm.

"Hush!"

Bruno immediately stopped barking and sat down at my feet with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.

"I thought you were just completely ignoring me in there... but you actually left to get a.. dog?"

"I went out to clear my head. I'm sure you have your own wicked ways of doing that"

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, never mind. I'm tired and I'd like to go to sleep if you don't mind"

"Actually I do. What do you mean by what you said?"

"Drop it Harry"

I pushed him away to unlock my door and as soon as I pushed the door open Bruno walked inside taking his cute self back to my room.

He must have smelled my scent the strongest in there.

"Goodnight Harry"

I was heading to my room when his large hand wrapped around my upper arm making me gasp as I crashed into his chest.

He just stared into my brown eyes with his emerald ones and it was like time stopped.

I saw his eyes move to my lips then back up to my eyes.

"Don't leave without telling me where you are again. Knowing you you'd probably do something stupid to get yourself killed"

"Fûck off"

I yanked my arm from his grip and made my way to my room, slamming the door with a smirk, hoping I was getting on his nerves.

I undressed myself and into one of my silk gowns.
