“This is the hardest I’ve ever worked for any pussy,” Pixie said.
Grace scrunched up her nose. “You’re not going to get to Suzy with that attitude. If you just want to fuck her, walk away. She deserves better than you.”
She moved away, leaving Pixie to his own, single minded attitude. Waiting outside of the toilet, she smiled at customers who came into the diner.
“Is he gone?” Suzy asked.
“Yeah. Don’t worry about him. He’s an asshole.”
Suzy cringed. “He’s persistent, but he just wants to fuck. I don’t like him.”
She told Suzy what he said to her, and they both looked disgusted. “See, why would I want to be with him? He’s gross.”
“I told him he didn’t deserve you.”
They walked around the large playing field, eating, and talking.
“I’m thinking we should get a dog.”
“A dog? We’re working all the time,” Grace said.
“I know, but I’ve always wanted a dog, and at the trailer it was impossible to have a pet.”
Grace didn’t want her friend to go without, so she tried to think about it. “We could take turns walking it.”
“It will be fun. What kind of dog?”
“Labrador?” Grace suggested. She loved dogs but hadn’t owned one herself either.
“It’s too big. Our apartment is nice, but not that nice. A Labrador needs a lot of space. What about a beagle?”
“Nope, they require a lot of exercise, more than we have time for.”
“Fine, Pomeranian it is.”
“Aw,” Grace said. “They’re going to be so cute and fluffy.”
“You think so?”
“Yeah. We’ll have to be careful though so we don’t mistake it for a cushion. Do you want to pick one up next week?”
“I’ll look online, and see if there are any breeders,” Suzy said.
They rounded a corner, and there was Drake with another man carrying a bear.
“Grace, I’ve been looking for you,” Drake said.
“I’ve been here.” She turned to the man with the bear, giving him a smile.
“Richard, this is Grace. Grace, this is Richard.”
“It’s nice to meet you.” Her hands were full.
“This is Suzy,” she said, looking toward her friend.
Once the introductions were done, Suzy left the group as she found someone to talk to, leaving Grace alone with Richard and Drake.
“Nice bear,” Grace said.
