Anna pov
After a while, I didn't even know how much I saw Lucas come out of the operating room. I smile and walk towards him. We met in the middle, and for a while, no one spoke. "How did it go? Is he okay?"
"Yes. All is well. He will need a little treatment, and he will have to stay here for a while longer, but it will be fine. In a little while, he will run and play again." he tells me with a smile, and I sigh in relief
"Thank God, I was so anxious."
"Come with me to my office to give instructions, and in a little while, you can see him." I nodded, and we went to his office. He walks beside me, and I feel my heart beating fast. Is it my idea, or is he very close to me? I don't have time to think about it because we have arrived.
He explains to me what needs to be done to me from now on. And we have completed the adoption process. I looked at him for most of the time and tried to concentrate on what he said, but it was difficult. I am doomed and in big trouble. I thought I would never let myself feel that way again. But why does it look different now? Why do I believe that he is different? Damn, stop thinking about him. He will have someone better than you.
"Anna?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay? Do you look a little lost? Did you understand what we said? I know there are many, but whatever you need, we are here to help you. Whatever you want, I am here ." No, you didn't say that. Focus Anna.
"Yes, I'm fine. This is the first time I've had a dog, and I'm a little anxious. I want it to go well."
"Of course, it will go well. From the moment you care, our little friend will have a good time. Do you want to see him?"
"Yes, of course," I say, and we go to the rooms. Fortunately, there are not many dogs here. This means that their owners are taking care of them and that there are not many strays. I see my little one and go to his place
"Hello, my little one. How are you?" he muttered to me and started licking my hand. "I told you she would come. She didn't forget you," Lucas says
"Of course, I didn't forget you. As soon as you're well, I'll take you to our house," I tell him, and he continues to lick me.
"I'm going to see some of my little patients, and I'll be back. You can stay with him if you want."
"If there's no problem, I'd like to stay," I tell him
"Of course, we'll talk soon," he tells me and touches me on the shoulder. Oh my God, his touch makes me feel weak on my knees. I sat next to my little one, I had to give him a name at some point, and I was talking about irrelevant things so that he would get used to me. After a while, I listened to Lucas and came back to see him. "How are you?"
"Fine. We're getting to know each other."
"That's good. I came to give him painkillers."
"You said Monday I can take him home.”
"Yes, it is not as severe as I told you. It's going to be a little shaky at first, but it's going to be okay"
"Ok. Then I'd better buy what I need to have them ready on Monday. I'll come after school."
"Whenever you can. We'll be here," he answers me, laughing—what a perfect laugh.
We said goodbye and left to prepare the house for the arrival of my Fluffy. That's what I called him. It's all a fluffy ball, haha.
Lucas pov
As soon as Anna left, I couldn't concentrate on anything. Whatever I was doing, all I could think about was Anna. How did I get into trouble like that? From yesterday all I can think about is her eyes, smile, and hair that smells of jasmine. Damn, I pick up the phone and type Will's number.
"Will?"
"Yeah, Lucas, what's going on?"
"I want to ask you something. How did you know Alice is the only one?"
"Where did this come from? Did you meet anyone?"
"Yes. Can you answer me?"
"So how do I explain it to you? The first time I saw her, I felt it was like time had stopped. We were in a place full of people, but I felt like it was just her and me. I spoke to her, and I immediately understood that I had no other connection with anyone else. In the early days, all I could think about was Alice. The only thing I wanted was her, so all I had to do was tell her and get her out on a date."
I take a breath and tell him
"I know her one day all night last night and the morning before I saw her again, I was thinking. And when I saw her today, what I wanted to do was hold her and kiss her. And as soon as she left, I couldn't do a thing without thinking about her. What to do? "
'' Oh, man. I waited a long time to talk about a woman like that. Tell her. Do you know where to find her? "
"Yes, I have all her details. She adopted the stray she found, and so I have her name, phone number, and address."
"Tell me you're talking about Alice's colleague?"
"Yes, how do you know?"
"Yesterday she would come to our place, but she called Alice and told her that she found an injured puppy and took it to the clinic. You were there until late. You told me you knew her one day. I connected them."
" You are smart."
"Well, from what Alice has told me, Anna is a very kind person and excellent with the children. She moved to the city a month ago and worked in a kindergarten. From what I've seen and talked to her, it's worth a try. I have to tell you. From what Alice has understood, something has happened in Anna's past that hurt her significantly. She doesn't know why Anna doesn't talk about it. "
What could have hurt her? Or someone has hurt her
"Thank you, man. I'll make an effort and tell you."
"Okay. Tell me how you went."
"Goodbye," I hang up the phone and get ready to leave. Anyway, even if I stay in the clinic, I can't do anything. I can't work with Anna in my mind. I inform my colleagues, and I leave for my house. To take a shower to freshen up and go straight to Anna. I'm sure of my feelings. I hope you feel the same
