-Tying The Knot-
*BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!*
I slowly stir awake and let out a groan as my paw feels around under the pillow for my phone. Once in paw, I place my thumb on just the right part of the screen and swipe over to the left, effectively turning off the alarm –yeah, I’ve done this before. Slowly and quietly I sit up on the edge of the bed and stretch my arms up high as my maw opens wide to let out a silent yawn. That’s when I hear it. Ear perking up as it catches the light snoring coming from the other side of the bed, a small grin begins to form across my muzzle when the previous night’s events replay in my head. ‘Another night, another sucker… Heh, figuratively and literally…’ Taking the time to look over at the canine of the night passed out beside me, I can’t help but put on a wide grin before systematically getting myself up and collecting my clothes from the floor. ‘Damn, was it a good night though.’ I think to myself while getting dressed in the dark. Glancing at my phone, it’s now 4:27AM, so with three minutes to spare I grab my keys and sneak out the door.
Once outside, I’m hit by the cool breeze of the summer wind as it pierces through my fur while I casually make my way back to the car. Before I know it, I’m already sitting in the driver’s seat with my foot on the pedal and it’s not until I adjust the rear view mirror that I snap into reality for a minute as those subtle green eyes stare back at me. Those dull, green eyes plastered on the rustic red fur surrounding that vulpine face in the mirror are all too familiar to me. The kind of eyes that can tell a story of the person they belong to if you were to sit long enough and listen to them speak. And, while I look into the eyes in my reflection, I start to remember the kind of person I am… And the reasons why I do the things I do... Then, suddenly my watch begins to beep signaling the time being 4:30AM and I break back into my systematic routine of driving away from yet another house I’ll never see again.
