I knew it’s a very short chapter again. =( But I’ll try to find and see Gale this weekend. I’ve heard rumors that he is near my hometown, so I have might have a chance (or not, lol) I’m nervous/excited and can’t concentrate on writing more. But I wanted to send out what I had written so far though. =) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin’s POV I was worried like crazy. The city was so big and could be dangerous for a lonely dog. The traffic was murderous. Besides I have heard rumors about some dog catchers that captured stray dogs. Or what if she simply got lost and didn’t find home anymore? Maybe she was starving because she wasn’t used to search for food. But I hoped that she only wanted to see Brutus and that she could remember the way to Brian’s loft. Damn, now I had to contact him sooner than I thought. Brian’s POV Brutus was driving me insane! Since Jeannie and Justin left us, he acted as if I was his enemy. He growled at me and showed his teeth whenever I came near him. And if I didn’t pay attention he even tried to bite me. Sometimes he intentionally pissed at my furniture. Then he had found out how to open the wardrobe door and to pull out my Armani-suits. Soon I had hardly any garments without a hole in them. God, I already prayed that Mikey would come back soon and that the monks didn’t want to keep him! Suddenly somebody knocked at my door. I could hardy close my mouth again when I saw Justin. Huh? I didn’t expect to see him again, well, at least not so soon. I wanted to be pert and give him a hard time because I was still mad that he had avoided me. But then I noticed his red eyes. So he must have been crying. Without thinking about it, I took his hand and pulled him inside. I couldn’t stand to see his sad face. I wanted to take him in my arms and kiss his tears away. Oh, I cringed inwardly. Where came this thought from? I was actually a bit scared. This guy had the power to turn me into a real lesbian. “What happened?” I asked and prayed that he wasn’t so unhappy because of me. “Jeannie disappeared. I had hoped that she came to you to see Brutus.” (Okay, the world doesn’t only revolve around me, I suppose) When I shook my head “no”, Justin almost broke down. I still caught him before he dropped to the floor. “Hey don’t worry, we will find her.” I didn’t believe my own words. After all this city was a jungle. How should we ever find a dog out there? But of course I couldn’t tell him about my doubts. Instead I gently placed him on the couch and tried to console him with sweet encouragements. (Wow, I didn’t even knew that I could be so nice!) I was surprised about myself that I liked to be the considerate guy for once. And then I was overdoing it again. First I buried my nose into his soft hair and kissed it. Then my lips wandered down to his face. After kissing his cheeks I nibbled at his ear, and then I began to unbuttoned his shirt. My hands caressed his warm skin and it seemed as if he liked what I was doing. So I was really confused and didn’t understand at all why he suddenly pushed me away. His face showed pure horror. “Do you really think I came here for that?” He hissed and starred at me as if he was very disappointed of me.
