Jizzie | Hand on Heart

Chapter 1 | Take flight?

"JOEL JOEL JOEL JOEL"

"What Lizzie?" Joel yells from downstairs.

"BUDDY IS KILLING A MOUSE"

"Oh for f*cks sake!" He groans, running upstairs.

"BUDDY?!" He scolds, shimmying him or the room.

He takes the mouse gently and puts it outside.

"There you go" He says, dusting his hands off.

"Buddy is disgusting" Lizzie says, crossing her arms.

"No he's a cat babe" he laughs, sitting on the bed next to her

Lizzie sighs and leans her head on his shoulder.

"Did you find a wedding planner yet?"

She nods, "Keileigh Michaels"

"Okay, well, I have to get going, I have a meeting with the head of year, for 'what I'm going to do' when the school year ends"

"Okay, I'm going to continue looking at dogs, I think I found a cute one"

"Which breed?"

"Finnish Lapphund"

"Anything you want me to do?"

"Think of names" she says, getting up.

"Got it" he smiles and stands up.

"I'm gonna go now" he kisses her forehead and walks out.

She sighs.

Lizzie's POV

Okay, so now it's time to book an appointment with the breeder.

I go to my laptop, and turn it on, there's a space free in an hour.

I quickly text Keileigh to push back our appointment an hour, and head out.

I pull up outside a nice house, white washed walls, vines growing up.

I walk through the gate, closing it gently behind me.

I knock on the door, and a middle aged woman answers it, looking a bit flustered.

"Hello dearie" she says, beaming at me.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth ***** I made an appointment to see the puppies?"

"Yes lovie" she invites me in, and quickly puts an steaming China teacup in my hands, still beaming at me.

"So you must be Catherine Barker?"

"Oh don't be silly sugar buns, we don't need to be so formal, call me Cathy" she smiles wider, if that possible.

"Okay, So I'm that case, I'm Lizzie and it's very nice to meet you"

"Alright panda bear, the puppies are old enough to go, and I need to clear them out quickly as we have builders coming soon, so if you like one, you can take one now"

"Oh wow, that's great!"

"So there's six here at the moment, four boys and two girls, any preference on the gender"

"Preferably a girl" I nod.

"Alrighty, I'll take you there now"

She carefully takes the teacup out of my hand, and pulls me up some narrow stairs, and into a fairly large room.

I'm immediately greeted with the excited yapping, of six puppies.

I break into a smile and scoop one up.

"There's just adorable!"

Cathy smiles at me a cradles another puppy.

"That's our youngest girl"

I nod and look into her cute brown eyes.

"So where's the mother?"

"My son is taking him on a walk, and the father belongs to a close friend of mine, they're from good bloodlines, their father is an award winning show dog, and their mother is pure-bred."

The puppy in my arms dozes off and my heart melts.

"Is it too soon to ask if I could have her?"

"Not at all honey plums" her face contorts as she stretches her smile.

She grabs some paper work and a pen and slides it towards you.

"So hun, what's your living situation like?"

"I'm in year 13 at school, so I'm 17 and my fiancé is 18, we live alone, but we graduate soon, we have a cat, buddy, whose very calm, and we have a big house with a garden"

"You've come very far very young dear" she says, as I finish the paper work.

I nod, and she goes over everything I need to know, gives me some extra supplies and we're off home.

The puppy was very jumpy the car ride home, and made it very difficult to drive.

But we did it.

I pull into the driveway and see Joel's car.

I smile and pick up the puppy.

I open the door, put the pup down while I close the door and take my shoes off, but by the time I finish, the puppy is no where to be seen.

She doesn't have a name yet so there's nothing I can call out to get her to come.

"ARRGGGHH"

I'm guessing Joel found the puppy.

I run to the living room, and see the puppy licking Joel's face.

I laugh and detach her from his face, cradling her in my arms.

"Meri!" He says happily.

"So you decided on a name"

He nods and gently takes her out of my arms.

I smile and sit next to him, and Buddy takes this opportunity to crawl into my lap.

"Our little family" I whisper softly.
