48 Meet Soleil (1/2)
Half an hour later his car arrived in front of the already open gate of Annie's house, she must have known he would arrive now so she opened the gate first before he arrived.
He parked his car next to the three cars of their family, since they were all parked here it meant that everybody was home. He got down, opened Soleil's cage and carried him in his arms.
He and Em walked to the front door and ringer the doorbell, very soon they heard sound and the door was opened by Rika.
The first one she saw was Em, she jumped in her arms and laughing out loud. Then when she was about to greet Sam like she usually did she spotted the puppy in his arms.
Her small eyes became round and she pointed at Soleil with her finger
”Woaaaaah ! Why is there a puppy ?”
Sam expected this reaction, the two girls were too similar to each other. He knew she would react the same way as Em and answered
”His name is Soleil, want to carry him ?”
Her already round eyes became even rounder and she said
”Can I ?”
”Of course.”
He said while handing her the puppy slowly so that neither her nor Soleil would be startled, it would be bad if Soleil got scared and scratched or bite her.
At first she looked hesitant but after seeing Em petting and playing with him she also got the courage to try, the first time was the hardest. When she got used to him she was just as comfortable as Em around him.
While he was watching the girls playing with Soleil, Annie came out of the entrance while looking at how he was dressed, she seemed confused about the change in style but didn't seem to dislike it
”You are dressed pretty unusually.”
”Does it look good ?”
”Yeah, it's a different vibe from usual. I like both !”
”Hahah thanks.”
He answered her but she didn't see him moving from his place so she asked
”What are you doing staying here ?”
He didn't answer her and just pointed a finger towards the girls that were running after Soleil in the courtyard's grass.
At first she just saw the two girls running around but soon the little guy got out from a small bush, she turned around to look at Sam. She had a questioning look on her face, was this a stray dog ?
”His name is Soleil, he's my dog.”
”Really ?! Why didn't you tell me ? When did you adopt him ?”
”Heheh I wanted to surprise you, I bought him home this morning, let's go in ?”
”But... I want to play with the puppy too...”
She said while throwing a pitiful look at Sam.
”Are you a kid ? Hahah ok ok, Em bring Soleil inside !”
As she had ran away pretty far he had to yell a bit, once again from inside came someone. Jin peeked outside the door with only his head, the rest of his body stayed inside the house.
”Did you become insane ? Why are you asking her to bring the sun inside ?”
”Are you stupid ? It's the puppy's name.”
Annie didn't even leave the time to Sam to answer and answered for him, he looked at Jin and shrugged.
”Puppy ? Where ?”
He looked around and his eyes fell on the cute golden retriever that was rolling around in the grass with Em and Rika.
”Woaaah you brought a puppy ?”
”I adopted him.”
