46 Soleil (1/2)
Today would be another busy day, he had three important things that should be taken care of, first he had to go to the shelter to pick up the puppy, he had spent the whole night thinking about how to name it. Finally when he was tired of the weird ideas he thought of Soleil, it meant sun in French and that described perfectly the small guy, he had the color of the sun and a shining personality, well he wasn't sure yet but from their first encounter he had felt that.
Then he would receive a text to confirm if he and Em were granted permission to travel to the US, it shouldn't be a bad surprise but he was still ready to do it again if it was refused just in case.
Finally he would receive the package of Adidas, he was impatient to see what their new collection Bilal told him about looked like.
After breakfast he told Em to change from her pajamas, today was Saturday, as she didn't have class he decided to take her see Soleil right away.
”Where are we going ?”
”Surprise.”
He said while smiling from side to side, he looked just like a kid that was told he was going to Disneyland, so excited that he couldn't sit still.
Half an hour later they were in the car and headed toward the shelter, he parked it in front of the shelter and opened the door for Em.
”Big brother what is this place ?”
She could hear barks and meowings coming from inside which made her perplexed.
”Follow me.”
He smiled, grabbed her small hand and pulled her inside.
They arrived in front of the receptionist, she was the same girl as yesterday.
”Hello !”
”You came back so soon, everything is ready for the adoption, did you bring a cage for the dog ?”
Em looked at her brother confused.
”Yes everything is in the car's trunk.”
Yesterday he had made a quick stop by a pet shop to buy all that was needed such as dog food, a cage for the trip home, a leash and such stuff before going to pick up Em from school, he didn't want to do it this morning as it would give hints to Em and waste the surprise.
”Fine then follow me please,”
Saying that she stood up looked over at the small Em that she couldn't see because she was hidden by the high desk and said
”She can't be you daughter right ?”
It was the second time she was mistaken as his daughter, this time he was even perfectly shaved and dressed so he shouldn't look that old.
”She is my sister, Emma. Say hello.”
He smiled, he didn't care being misunderstood but that would mean he had a daughter when he was 12 years old...
”Ah hello, I'm Emma. You can call me Em like everybody else.”
She blushed and hid half her body behind Sam, she was still shy with strangers and hated it when she was asked to introduce herself.
”Awww how cute ! Nice to meet you Em ! I'm Nadia.”
She extended her hand and Em shook it lightly.
Then they followed her into a different room from yesterday, in this room there was only one cage sitting on a table. At first Sam was afraid that Em would get frightened by the dogs barking when they went into the room but it looks like they had a good procedure.
