Pet Shelter Boys
Will you? (Alex POV)
Alex POV
Baz was wonderful. We strutted through the woods surrounding the shelter and as Jack had said, we ran around and played with a stick sometimes. His barking was delightful and he put up his ears in an absolutely adorable way whenever he heard something surprising. The forest was dark green and quiet. I breathed in the cold air that was smelling lightly of resin and watched as my breath formed little clouds.
It had been a great idea to do this. I walked back to the shelter, a smile on my face. I had made a wonderful animal friend who had indeed helped me feel better, I had been out in the woods and I had been sporty. I skipped up the steps of the little grey building and pushed open the glass doors. Baz was happily following me, his little rosy tongue hanging out of his mouth. Jack was sat inside and almost jumped when he saw me, he looked flustered.
“Hi! We’re back!” I exclaimed happily.
“So you had a good time?” Jack asked with a smile. He looked a bit pale though.
“Yes, definitely! I’d love to come back, when can I?”
“Uh, basically every day,” he replied. “Just maybe call in the morning if you plan on coming but it’s not a problem if you don’t, to be honest.”
I broke out into a shy grin. I was so different than before. Baz had done me good.
“Um, Alex?” Jack asked. I looked at him expectantly. He didn’t say anything but blushed instead. He mumbled something so quiet I couldn’t hear.
“What did you say?” I asked. He blushed an even deeper shade of red.
“Would you like to get a coffee with me?” he mumbled, a bit louder this time. Now it was my turn to blush and boy, did I blush. I could feel my face heat up. I really wanted to get a coffee with him. I was so happy that he had asked me because I would never have had the courage to do it.
“I’d love to get a coffee with you,” I said softly. He broke into a wide grin that made me smile as well.
“Tomorrow? 3 pm? The little café with the blue door nearby? It’s called ‘Le Mer’. You can walk Baz and then we will go there?” he offered. I nodded happily. He scribbled something on a scrap of paper and gave it to me. “My phone number,” he explained. I smiled at him one more time and left.
