thawing his heart, because for the first
time he did feel like having someone to talk with. He sat down in
his chair and motioned for Jason to take the one across from
him.
He figured the only way to start was with the
main point, "I found my Kismet. And no, it's not Sonya." He let
that soak in for a second and followed up with the clincher, "She's
human".
Jason's eyes bugged out of his head. "What!
How is that even possible?"
"I don't know man. I ran into her on Friday
night and I've not been the same since. She's a vet and I made up a
stupid story that I had a new dog so I could get her card. I have
an appointment today at 11:00 to take "my” dog in."
Jason burst out laughing. "Oh man, you have
got to be kidding." Shaking his head and bending over at the waist
he continued to belly laugh. "There is no way this will go well.
You know the dog is going to flip out, not to mention the rest of
the animals at the vet's office. I'd love to be there to see it."
Jason couldn't stop laughing at his friend’s predicament. It felt
good to laugh in his presence it'd been too long.
Garrett couldn't help but chuckle at himself
too. "I have no idea what I'm doing; I just knew I had to see her
again. I didn't even think about what I was saying. Dave is
supposed to be bringing his dog in for me today."
"Dave? Oh man, he has a Rottweiler. He's so
proud of him; he's always showing pictures to all the guys. You
better hope he's not an alpha or you may have a challenge on your
hands."
"Ah crap, I told her it was a mutt. Great,
I'm going to look like even more of an idiot." Garrett ran his
hands through his hair, making it stand up on end. "I've been
stalking her all weekend. My wolf won't let me have a moment’s
peace if I don't have an eye on her. Jas, you can't tell anyone
about this. John has us going to meet with the council in Maine
tomorrow. I need their permission to tell her about us, and I'm
terrified they won't give it. I'm not sure what it would mean for
us."
Jason sobered when he scented the fear on
Garrett. He didn't see how this was fair; the poor guy had been
through enough already. Nothing seemed easy for him and he had
always been one of the nicest and most helpful shifters he knew.
"If there is anything I can do to help, you let me know. I'm there
for you Garrett, always."
"Thanks Jas, I don't deserve your friendship
after the last few years, but I'll gladly take it. I have a feeling
I'll need it before this is settled; starting with getting a
Rottweiler to walk on a leash for me." He chuckled, thinking about
the morning that he was going to have.
"Have you thought about telling her the
truth, that you simply want to take her out on a date?"
Garrett blinked owlishly. "I can't admit I
lied to her now. What does it say about me? I know she's my Kismet,
but I don't know if humans react the same way, and I can't take the
chance of losing her."
"Don't sell her short. If she's meant to be
with you then she's a special lady." With that, Jason headed out of
the trailer and back to work.
Garrett felt humbled to have such a great
friend. Just talking about it had already helped him feel better
about the situation. Just then, he had a knock on his door and Dave
walked in.
"Hey, I have Dude in the truck. Let me know
when you're ready to go and I'll get him for you."
"Great! Thanks again Dave, the appointment's
at 11:00, so I'll take him about 10:30 or so."
"No prob, boss, happy to help. I'll be
working in the far corner setting rebar." Dave turned around and
headed out.
Left with his own thoughts, he anticipated
seeing his perfect little Kismet. He couldn't wait to be able to
look her in the eye and speak with her again. Watching from afar
had been difficult on him, even though it was necessary to keep his
wolf relaxed.
At 10:30, he called Dave over and walked to
his truck, not sure what he was going to see. He stood back a ways,
while Dave opened the door and asked Dude to come out. The wind was
blowing his scent in
time he did feel like having someone to talk with. He sat down in
his chair and motioned for Jason to take the one across from
him.
