Fast, Fierce, and Feisty
CH 9
Everything was going amazing the past couple of weeks. The boys and I were closer and I was perfectly happy.
"Babe! Babe! Come here!" I hear from outside of my house. It is Saturday morning and I was watching TV when Chase started screaming outside of my house. I shoot up and run to the door concerned.
"Chase what is wron-" I open the door and run out only to freeze and clamp my hand over my mouth is shock.
"Merry Christmas!!" He cheers holding the most adorable puppy I have ever seen. It was a Fully white German Shepard.
"Oh my god! He is so cute! Where did you get it?" I run over and get on my knees beside the two
"He is our new puppy. I got him for us." Chase smiles at me and I hug him tightly
"He is so cute what did you name him?" I ask exited
"I thought that since I chose him, you could choose his name." Chase smiles and I peck his cheek.
"Um, I don't know." I say gobsmacked
"Well, Get dressed we are going to the park to play with him." Chase smiles and I laugh running inside and changing into some denim shorts and a Nirvana muscle t-shirt with Red VANS that matches my t-shirt before running all the way bac outside to were Chase was baby talking the dog.
He didn't hear me come out so he continued, "Who's a good boyyy? your a good boy!" He says in a baby voice.
I laugh lightly and Chase snaps up and coughs unconfertably as I giggle at his cuteness.
"Awe you are so cute baby." I baby talk him and he frowns when I wrap my arms around his neck.
"Oh shut up and kiss me." he smiles playfully. I laugh and place my lips on his lightly. "Lets go" He smiles against my lips. Igrab the leash out of Chase's hand and Chase frowns before we walk down the street.
"He looks funny when he walks." I giggle
"Yeah he looks like he is skipping." he laughs
"I know a name!" I stop walking and face Chase with a large smile
"What? Skippy?" Chase asks and I shove him playfully
"Prancer. Like the raindeer. Since it is Chrismas EVE." I say
"I like it. What about you boy? you like the name?" Chase baby talks again and I laugh out loud when the puppy barks.
When we get to the park I am extatic! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face. We walked over to the empty base ball feild and shut the gates before letting Prancer off his leash. He stays beside us and lays down making us look at eachother confused.
"Go boy! Go play!" I try to get the puppy to runn around a bit.
"Why won't he play?" I smile " Is he lazy like his mommy?" I question with a giggle, sitting down beside the puppy.
"He is trained. Maybe he knows to stay with his owners." Chase states
"Really? Well lets test that." I smirk standing up. "Common Prancer! Lets go!" i pat my knees making the puppy stand up and run around my legs, I sprint around for a few minutes with him chasing me and Chase laughs wildly at my actions.
"Common Chase!" I call laughing, Chase gets up and runs for me throwing me over his shoulder spinning me around. He loses his footing and we fall over laughing harder than before.
"Sorry." I chuckles again after calming down.
"I love you." I say softly facing him, and I really do, I love him with all my heart.
"I love you too babe." He kisses my nose and I sigh contently.
"I have something to ask you Es..." Chase was suddenly very serious, I sit up and face him curiously.
"Go on." I nod at him
"Esmee...I-" His voice was softly and pained "My dad got transfered at work...to Florida." He tells me and my eyes widen, was he moving?? "I'm not moving Esmee." He tells me taking my hands into his as if reading my pained expression "But I am going to have to find my own place. I was wondering if you wanted to...erm...move in with me?" His eyes were soft and anxious
"Chase..I um. I don't know." My eyes were soft and I was smiling lightly at him "That is kindof a big deal... we are only now finishing serior year of highschool and-" I was rambling
"Esmee. We are about to finish Serior year...and we are both headed to UCLA...I was thinking an apartment a bit off campus.." He tells me
"Okay..." I smile at him
"Okay?" A smile blossoms on his face
"I'll move in with you." I nod. He pulls me into a breathe taking kiss on the grass. Interuppteded when I felt a slobery lick up my cheek making me flich
"Waita ruin the moment prancer." Chase tells the do who whines licking Chase's face
I giggle and shove Chase off my chest playfully before standing up, "I'm tired want to go get coffee?" I ask
"Yeah sure." Chase hooks Prancer back up on his collar and we begin a walk to tee Starbucks down the street. As we walk Chase and I talk about Living together, the more we did the more serious the conversation got, we talked about getting jobs and financial needs and what college holds for us. We walk into the cafe with Prancer absent mindedly and order our drinks.
"Is that a service dog?" The lady behind the counter asks and I shake my head.
"He isn't but we are just getting our drinks and leaving, miss. Would you mind getting a small cup of water for him?" I ask
"Ofcourse." She smiles and we wait silently, once we get our drink we head out, We sit on a bench and quietly drink with Prancer.
My phone starts to ring and I pull it out of my bad seeing Conner calling, "Hello?" I anwser
"Hey Esmee. Dylan and I both agree we haven't hung out as a sibblings for some time. So want to get dinner tonight? Just us 3?" COnner asks
"Yeah, it's ture." I sigh, "We should go to AppleBees. I'm obsessed." I tell him
"Okay, be home soon? We have to talk.." He mumbles
"Oh? Okay sure. I'll be there soon. I have something very very important to tell you to" I frown and hangup. I needed to confess my acceptance to UCLA, I got the letter last week.
"You have to go?" Chase asks
"I guess I do." I kiss him cheek, "My brothers want to have a sibbling dinner and they have something to tell me.I'm finally teling them about UCLA" I explain while putting my phone away. And standing up.
"okay, well lets get you back then. Good luck" He smiles intertwining his fingures with mine as we walk.
"Want Prancer tonight?" Chase asks
"I wont be home because of dinner. So you should take him." I say
"Okay. I'll be seeing you later tonight" he smirks and I giggle at him. We walk silently for about 30 minutes until we get to my house. We kiss goodbye and headour separate ways.
"Welcome home." Dylan tells me from the couch
"Thanks. What do you guys have to tell me?" I question flopping onto the empty loveseat. Conner was beside Dylan, he hasen't said a word yet and it is worrying me.
"Well...we want to have dinner first and hangout before we tell you." Dylan mumbles unable to look at me
Something happened. I think to myself. This is clearly something they did and they know I would be angry with them.
"No, tell me." I say stubbornly
"We-" Conner starts and stops again.
"We are um-What's your news?" Dylan changes the subject and I frown but uickly smile
"I got accepted into UCLA last week and-"
"Bloody hell!" COnner frowns deepy and Dylan runs his fingurs through his hair
"Are you not happy for me?" I question hurt
"Esmee...We are so happy for you. But...Dad's been laid off of work. We are moving back to London." Conner frowns at me
And just like that, my world went black.
