'Summer's sick... I'm so worried!' she text him.

'Who's Summer? Your sister? Odd name!' he replied.

'My dog you dolt! She's been having diahorea since last night.'

'You have a dog? What breed? We just bought a Jack Russell a few nights ago. Don't worry. I'm sure she'll be fine soon. Probably just ate something wrong. Like a rat or a roach. Haha.'

'WHAT? I have a JRT too! I want to see your puppy! Whats her name?' she typed excitedly fumbing while typing the message.

'Her name's Baby. Sure. Why don't you pop by my place after you finish class?' he asked.

'Baby? You have another woman in your life. *pout*' she complained.

'Guilty as charged. I have a heart big enough for the both of you tho. And I think you smell better than she does. So thats one for your side.' he teased.

'I just realised. I don't know where you live. Thats weird isn't it?'

'Kinda. We've been going out for a while now. I guess it never came up in the conversation. Tell you what. I'll pick you up from college and show u the way. So you can come over next time on your own.' he said.

'Are you sure there really is a puppy? You're not just luring me to your house to take advantage of me are you?' she giggled.

'Hun, if I wanted to take advantage of you; I'd do it in my car. I'm the adventurous sort. :P~!' he laughed.

'Ok fine. Pick me up at 12. And flowers won't excuse you from being late this time!'

'That depends on how many flowers I buy really. See you tommorow then.'

'Love you.' she typed tentatively.

'Ditto.' he replied.

'Ditto? What kind of answer was that?' she grumbled to herself. 'I'll make him pay for that when I see him tommorow. A puppy! I love puppies! Can't wait... can't wait...' she thought to herself and dozed off into sleep.

She waved good bye to her class mates and beamed as she saw his little blue car parked outside her college.

'Hey angel, whats with the funky outfit?' he asked as she stepped into his car. 'As if I don't have enough to worry about with your college guys, you wear THAT to college as well?' he grumbled.

She smirked at him. 'So you admit it?'

'Admit what?' he asked.

'You're jealous!' she laughed.

'Jealous? You're barely dressed! And in some kind of Jap school girl uniform!' he exclaimed exasparatedly.

'You like it?'

'Thats besides the point. I don't want the whole world seeing my girlfriend half naked,' he grumbled.

'So you DO like it. Hehe. I'm glad. I bought it for you!' she looked away shyly.

'I'd like it a whole lot more if you didn't wear it to college.'

'Just for you then... pervy old man!' she laughed.

'I'm not a perv... and I'm not old either!'

'Right. You not either. You're both!'

'Whatever... just don't wear it out any more okay?' he was close to pleading.

'I won't if you say you love me.' she said after a thoughtful pause.

'How summer doing?' he asked, changing the topic.

'Summer's better. She's not so sick any more. I think its cause she ate some chocolate I left in the bin. She rummaged through it and found it.' she said guiltily.

'Shesh... chocolate's lethal to dogs you silly girl. You should have known better!' he scolded.

'I didn't think she'd rummage through my bin!' she pouted.

'Throw it some place safe next time silly.' he hugged her.

'I know, My sis said she'd never forgive me if Summer died.'

'More importantly I don't think you can forgive yourself.' he said kissing her on the forehead. 'Keep an eye on the road. I'll show u the easy way to my house so you won't get lost.'

'Mmmkay..' she said snuggling up to his side.

'You're a horrible distraction you know!' he complained.

'Shut up and drive Jenkins!' she laughed.

'If you treat all your drivers like this I'm getting worried,' he grumbled.
