just another day.
"you figured it out!"
i follow her, trying not to stumble. I focus on walking. she took my breath away. so much that i, just loud enough that new zealand could hear me, let "woah" escape from my mouth. but then i chuckled realizing excactly what was going on. liam had set this up. the little shit. he saw her, and thought of me. that is why i'm here getting the dog. that's why he chuckled when he said "you will know her when you see her." i chuckled as the gears in my mind started to shift. then she said liams name so i nodded, almost unable to speak. she leads me through a door and i swear i hear high-pitched screams. i must have been right as the dogs' ears were moving aroung and they began to bark even louder than before. oh well probably some little girl getting her first pet. she leads me to a dog that despite being here waiting for dani and liam, looked like the happiest dog in the world when he saw scarlette. she had a way with animals. i could tell. does that make me an animal? i didn't know but, she started speaking to it. it was hot.
"hey there! wanna go home? wanna go home?" and as if the dog knew what she was saying it's tail turned into a helicopter blade and flew back and forth so fast it was a blur, like in old cartoons. maybe it did understand her. she let the dog out. just like that. i couldn't help it i jumped back. she laughed. i loved her laugh. it was so giddy and childish.
"ok. he is probably a golden retriver mixed with husky. maybe a little setter in there somewhere." she tells me more about the dog. i love her voice. soft and almost airy. if thats a word. i didn't know i couldn't think. all i knew was that this girl, this amazing girl was drawing me towards her, without even trying. i hope. she seemed to be able to read my mind. she stopped telling me about the puppy and we started talking.
"so, you look familiar, have you been around here before?" oh my dear god. she didn't even know me. this got better and better. i couldn't help but laugh. her face turned into a confused frown.
"uh yea you could say that." i say. would she find out who i was. the other woman, mackenzie seemed to know me as well. i wonder who else was here.
"what does that mean?" she asks but before i could answer she continues. "liam, your friend seemed familiar to. there has got to be a way i know you." uh oh. i wonder if i should just tell her. but before i could say anything her phone starts ringing. her ringtone is little things. how could she know the song but not the singers.she see's the confusion on my face.
"oh the song? my little sister loves one direction and made that my ringtone. i like the song so i kept it." an expression crosses her face. it says "wait a second, could you be in the band?" but she obviously brushes it off
"sorry for a second there..." i smile. real big and toothy. she squints her eyes and looks deep into mine. she gasps
"you figured it out." i say not sure what else i could.
"woah" she says looking down. much calmer than i expected.
"you... you" i say not sure how to say what i want to say.
"i.. am aware of one direction, yes. i have heard your music, and i liked it. but i'm no crazed fan. that would be my sister." then her face lights up."ohhhh" she says, "thats who was screaming." oh boy, her sister was a directioner.
"how old is your sister?" i ask trying to sound calm, normal. she laughs. huh?
"fifteen, i am five years older than her." ok. maybe she could hold herself together to meet us. for a second i get brought back to reality. i'm in a dog kennel, with dogs everywhere. the puppy got so bored it feel asleep at scarlette's feet. we must have been here for awhile.
"scar?" mackenzie calls. she rolls her eyes.
"i'm okay!" why wouldn't she be? she continues before i could ask."we are over here, with the puppy" she clarifies.
"what took you guys so long?" mackenzie asks. should i lie?
"we were just talking. we will be out in a second. i think i heard the bells ringing, can you go check." i know i didn't hear any bells, to many dogs barking. mackenzie's face pinched up, as she thought that through. then she took the hint. giggling she walked back to the front room. wait, there was a hint? i have a chance? my face must have lit up. she hit my arm. i pretend that it hurt and pout, hoping she will play along. she laughs and walks further down the room, the puppy waking up and skipping after her. she seemed so porposeful, like she knew every inch of this building, and she probably does. i follow behind her, looking at the dogs around me, all needing homes. she opens a dog and pushes a door jam under the crevice. i walk in the door and find my self in a office?
"my office." she says. she has an office?
"i'm manager." wow but she did seem to deserve it. but her office is next to the barking cries of the dogs.
"i like the company." how does she read my mind?
"i'm a witch." what?
"just kiddng. what you were thinking showed pretty clearly on your face. i'm a bit observant."
"really?" i ask sarcastically
"yea, really" she says back equally sarcastic. we both laugh. she writes something on a peice of paper. more information on the dog?
"whats's that?" i ask. she pauses what she's doing, trying to hide something. what was with the secrets and this girl, first the lie that she wasn't here and now this?
"oh, just a record of the date and time he got picked up." nodding towards the now snoozing puppy in front of her desk. lies. oh well. she had a desk, anda office. is it just me or is that really hot?

"what is your favorite band, aside from one direction of course." i rolled my eyes
"little mix." his eye's lit up.
"zayn's girl is in that band."
"yep, i know. i love their songs! 'specially wings."
"favorite color"
"red, like my hair"
"favorite animal" that was a tough one.
"all" he hesitated but moved on.
"favorite food." he said this one strangly, as if this had upmost importance.
"none." his eyes widen.
"i have not one favorite, i love all food" i say
his eyes lit up so bright his blue eyes could have electrocuted me. i'm sure of it.
"same here." hmm what the hell
"so wanna show off your favorite food to me sometime?" i ask handing him my phone with the contacts screen open. he looks up into my eyes and for a second i regret it.
"yea, that'd be great." he says taking my phone and putting his number in it. yay! funny but i was so lost in his eye's i just noticed his accent. oh he gets more cute by the minute. could i keep my hands of him. woah what am i thinking, this has to be taken slow. i wouldn't be able to tell him i'm not...not....virgin. that right was taken from me.
"hey there! wanna go home? wanna go home?" and as if the dog knew what she was saying it's tail turned into a helicopter blade and flew back and forth so fast it was a blur, like in old cartoons. maybe it did understand her. she let the dog out. just like that. i couldn't help it i jumped back. she laughed. i loved her laugh. it was so giddy and childish.

**scarlette's POV**
he was really cute, but i don't think i could ever date him. i was probably just some girl he met, thought she was cute, but moved on with his life. his famous life, i might add. but he, wouldn't give up. we talked for nearly a hour in my office. mackenzie texted me, but i told her to go away. this kind of thing only happenes once in a lifetime. but the weird thing is, he wasn't as intimidating as i had previously thought. he asks me all kinds of things."what is your favorite band, aside from one direction of course." i rolled my eyes
"little mix." his eye's lit up.
"zayn's girl is in that band."
"yep, i know. i love their songs! 'specially wings."
"favorite color"
"red, like my hair"
"favorite animal" that was a tough one.
