Coffee Shop Letter

Chapter 11

For just being a puppy, Remy was extremely well behaved. He slept all night and did not make any messes throughout the apartment. Whoever gave him to me must have trained him beforehand, which I was very thankful for. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind training him, but with my busy schedule, it would be hard to find the time to do so.

Although, I was still a little unsure about leaving him all by himself while I went to work. I wasn't too sure about his chewing habits, and I wasn't ready to find out. I won't know until after my shift if there are any messes or not. 

I decided to wake up half an hour earlier than my usual time since I needed to take Remy outside, and then give him food and water. I probably have enough time getting up at my usual time, but I didn't want to push my luck and run behind. Besides after work, I only had to type out noted for one more meeting, and then I have all night to spend with him. Maybe I'll take him down the road to the dog park so he can run around.

Heading home after a busy morning at the coffee shop, I was excited to see Remy.  I'm just hoping there isn't too big of a mess when I get home. Even though I'm still a little peeved at mystery man for buying me a dog, Remy was slowly growing on me. Even if it was only one night with him. I've always wanted a dog, but with only working at the coffee shop, I knew I couldn't afford their care. 

I noticed when I clocked out that the letter was missing that I placed by the register. I didn't get a chance to see who was all there because I was in the back helping out the cooks. In its place though, was a single sunflower and a dog bone, but no note. 

After grabbing all my things, I started walking the short walk back to my apartment. Upon arriving at the door, the noises I heard broke my heart. Remy must be somewhere near the door wanting out because I could hear his small whimpers coming from inside. As soon as I opened the door, Remy started jumping up and down and then started chasing his tail. It was one of the cutest things you'd ever see.  Grabbing his leash, I took him outside to do his business before heading back in to give him food and the bone from mystery man.

While Remy ate his food, I went and changed into something more comfortable, grabbed my laptop and the notes, then headed to the living room to finish my typing. 

While I was working, Remy was curled up next to me sleeping.  It was nice having some company even though they couldn't talk back to me. I needed to send a picture to Matty sometime he'll be in love with Remy. Then again, he might even try to snatch him away from me.

Two hours later, I was finally done with work and headed for a bite to eat before I took Remy to the dog park. I ended up making me a turkey sandwich with some grapes. 

After I finished eating, I grabbed Remy a few treats, a ball, and his leash, then put my shoes on. The walk to the park only took 15 minutes, and the fresh air was wonderful. Remy was just as excited as I was to get outside. 

When we arrived at the park, I walked through the gates and let Remy off of his leash so he could run around. Twenty minutes into our playdate, I failed to notice the rain clouds in the sky when it started to heavily pour. Calling Remy over so I could hook him on his leash, we started to leave the park, when a shiny white car with tinted windows, pulled up next to the curb. The mystery person rolled their window down to reveal Mr. Black in the driver's seat. 

"Miss Parker, let me give you a ride to your place to get you out of this rain."

"Are you sure? I don't want to ruin your seats because I'm soaked as well as my dog." I mean, his car looked really expensive, and I didn't want to be the reason his interior got destroyed or smelled like a wet dog.

"I assure you, Miss Parker, that you and your dog will not ruin my car. So please get inside before you get sick. I'd feel horrible if you were to end up ill."

"Thank you, Mr. Black. I would hate to miss work during my second week at the office."  He smiled at me and took off as I told him the way to my apartment. 

The ride was silent, but it was comfortable. Even Remy was content being in the car. Out of the corner of my eye, I would catch Mr. Black looking at me from time to time. Was it weird to be in my boss's car? I thought it was at least, but I was thankful to be out of the rain. 

Arriving at the apartment complex, I thanked Mr. Black and headed inside with Remy. Once inside, I went to my bathroom to get a towel and dried the semi-wet puppy off. After he was settled, I went back into the bathroom and changed out of my wet clothes, then dried my hair.

The time was nearing 6 o'clock, and I wasn't feeling the greatest. Partly because my head was starting to pound and I could feel my sinuses plugging up. Great, just what I needed. I took my boss's offer to not end up sick, but I was still getting sick in the long run. Hopefully, some medicine and a good night's sleep would do me some good. I went to the kitchen to put some food and water into Remy's bowels and then decided to take him outside to potty in case I fell asleep.  If I got comfy enough somewhere, I knew it would be a matter of time before I fell asleep. 

Making my way back into the living room, I grabbed a blanket and laid on the couch watching t.v. Making sure my alarm was set for the right time to get up in the morning, I made myself comfortable on the couch. Not before long, my fur ball of a husky was laying with me, and I was out like a light.
