Sunday!

The sunlight tore through the curtains of my window. Birds chirping announced that it was already morning. A Sunday Morning. I looked at the watch which showed it was 8 o’clock. I freshened up and headed downstairs. Today being a Sunday it was my duty to make the breakfast. Noises were coming from Aunt Hazel’s room. Guess she’s already up and ready to go. Apollo was sitting on the door mat. And gave a good morning bark as soon as he saw me.

“Good morning Apollo!”, I said as I opened the front door.

Apollo jumped down the front steps and raced to the gate. It was a cloudy September day. Apollo sat in front of the gate and in a few minutes the newspaper boy came on his cycle. He stopped in front of the gate where Apollo was sitting and gave him a pat.

“Hii there Apollo. Here’s your today’s newspaper.”

He gave the Newspaper to Apollo and waved at me as he continued down the street. Apollo came jogging back with the newspaper in his mouth.

“Good boy Apollo! Good boy!” I said while patting him.

I closed the door behind me and tossed the newspaper on the table. I took Apollo’s bowl and washed it cleaned. Switching the gas on I kept a pan on it. Apollo was hovering near my feet. Probably because he wanted to eat. I gave him his dog food and water. In a few minutes a breakfast of coffee and pancakes was ready. Just then Aunt Hazel came down the steps.

“Oh.. you’re done?”, She asked as she read through the newspaper.

“Yea, I’m done. Come quick.”, I answered setting the plates on the dinning table.

“coming!..”, she called.

We sat down on the table and munched the breakfast peacefully.

“Um.. it tastes good.”, she said in between her munches.

“Thanks Aunt. I thought you had a holiday today.”, I asked after finishing my bite.

“Even I needed one but it’s ok. I’ve a new chief coming over and then I need to update the theme as well. So come to the restaurant for lunch. I’ll join you. If you’re going out take Apollo with you.”

“Yea... I’ll be going to the garage first to get my car and then I’ll be heading to the library. I’ll take Apollo with me but then I’ll have to drop him at the restaurant.”

“No problem.. I’m done.. I’ll leave now. Take care and don’t forget to lock the house when you’re going.”

“Yea.. bye. Take care.”

Aunt Hazel left. I cleared the table and Apollo’s bowls. I went up with Apollo close at my heels. I put the library book I had bought - ‘Vendetta’ by Catherine Doyle in my bag. I dropped my phone, purse and a towel in it too. Apollo was sitting in my balcony, probably enjoying watching the squirrel in the trees. Then he got up, staring at the squirrel like a predator would stare at its prey.

“No Apollo. No squirrel chasing! I told you that you aren’t supposed to run and catch a squirrel. Its bad.”, I warned.

“Woof!”, was Apollo’s answer. Maybe he got what I wanted to say.

'maybe'...

I sat at my laptop. It was only 10:30 and I had a lot of time to spare so I decided I would play games. I booted the computer on and typed in the password. I played for almost half an hour when an incoming message popped on my screen. It was Noah. It said

**Hi ! Wat’s up ?

Nothing much. Wat bout u ? , I typed back.

Same. Dad said he’d take us to the beach today evening. I didn’t know u'd be online.

Yea. Actually I was playing games. Its only me and Apollo at home. Aunt’s gone to her restaurant. We’ll be joining her for Lunch after I get my car from da garage and visit da library.

Oh ok. I was gonna ask ya to tell me bout the project our eng tr. gave wen I was absent. Could u?

^_^

Ok. I gotta rush now orelse I’ll be late. Byeee..

Bye. Take care.

U too..

I logged off my computer. I took a quick shower and changed into a denim jeans and white crop top. I put my sack over my shoulder and headed downstairs.

“Come on Apollo. Let’s go!”, I said as I jumped down the last stairss.

Apollo appeared and I put a leash on him then I locked the door and We began our walk.

“We’ll head to the garage first, then go to the restaurant. Fair?”, I gave Apollo a glance.

“Woof! Woooof!”, was the reply.

I increased my pace. After 20 mins we were entering the garage named ‘Furious Wheels'. I always came in here to get my Mustang checked. The owner of the garage Toby Goodwill knew me well. He was engrossed in talk with someone so I decided to wait.

I was taking in the scene around me when my eyes spotted... I didn’t expect him but... I spotted Kai Xander leaning on a Black BMW. Seconds after I discovered him, his brown eyes discovered me. He waved and I smiled back in reply. He sure remembered me.. Then he walked through the few parked cars heading towards me.

“What does he want now!?”,I said to myself.

Just a few feet away from me, Apollo barked and growled at Kai. Apollo was protective of the people he knew. Kai stopped in his tracks as he looked at Apollo and then up at me.
