new stories He looked at her from across the room raising his head slightly, those big brown eyes just staring at her, his lips in a pouted face as he walked over to her and put his head in her lap. She ran her fingers through his hair, scratching behind his ears. ”I know you want to go outside, but just wait for commercial break,” she said to him kissing his head. She got up stretching her legs, and raising her arms above her head, she imagined in her head what it would be like to wrap her arms around his neck. “Man he’s tall” she whispered to herself as she stretched her arms out. “Come on, let’s go.” She said heading towards the door carrying a leash. Her dog jumped up off the couch and followed behind her, always excited about getting outside and going for walks. She opened the door the cold air biting at her eye lashes, It was getting colder now that it was changing to fall, she started to jog down the street, her dog pacing her darting towards the nearest tree and back towards the road. She started to run when she got down the street, he realized that the sound of her feet hitting the road just didn’t sound as good as the strings of a guitar, so she headed back home and made a bee line for her mp3 player. A little confused her dog followed trailing behind, with a face that just said, this can’t be the end of the walk, I haven’t even peed yet. ”Come on, we’ll be right back buddy” she assured her dog, as she got to her front porch. She ran in real quick snatched up her mp3 player raced down the stairs and out the front door. The door slamming behind her, she and Buddy headed down the street for round two. She finally finished her run after a vigorous 2 mile stretch. She was so tired. She walked back up her block and towards her house crawling to the shower, she walked into the bathroom tracing his name on the mirror and drawing a big heart around her reflection, she closed the door and then jumped in the shower, closing her eyes letting the water run down the back of her spine and over her neck, imagining him there wrapping his arms around her waist and washing her down with kisses…She missed him but didn’t really know him, which puzzled her. She stepped out of the shower, steam coming off her legs, she wrapped herself with a big towel, looking at the mirror the steam covered mirror she could no longer see her reflection, all she saw was a big heart and his name in it. “Danielle <3 Jon”
