Chapter 8 Poosh, Rocky and Shey
It had been over a month... Baron did not return that night. I was so depressed, I reported it on police stations, at first they thought I was looking for my child since I was so desperate but when I told them it was a dog, they would laugh and write it down like it was nothing.
I posted pictures together with Aunt Rebecca, I was hoping someone or anyone in the neighborhood would see him because he was very well known around. We jogged every day so I believe that he could return because he knew the place well but it had been over a month... no signs of him.
What did I think of that night? I threw him my alarm clock and he ran away. Aunt Rebecca came so often now... she was so worried about me. Right now we were sitting inside my house since it was raining today.
Rebecca: "Still no news about him?"
I shook my head left and right. The reason why I was so pissed off last night was because... Mark posted a picture, of him together with some girl. I was so pissed off and depressed.
Then I remembered that night again when I took it all out on Baron... I'm so damn stupid.
Sarah: "I should not have done that... I'm so stupid... Baron was always there for me... he loved me unconditionally..."
So it was true, you only understand the things that were important to you when it was gone. I realized that he was more important than Mark who just left me.
Rebecca: "Lately someone moved into that abandoned house, all of them are boys, and they all look fantastic! They are running a milk shop you should try it, maybe it would lift your spirits up!"
Aunt Rebecca gave me a piece of paper. Company name and number for delivery.
Sarah: "Katy's Milk... delivery service: tel#"
It was Sunday... I had nothing to do so I called for a delivery.
Telephone: "Hello! Good morning! Katy's Milk! Who's calling?"
It was the voice of a child.
Sarah: "I would like you to deliver me milk... do I have choices because this is my first time calling."
Honestly, you should have placed a menu in the fliers you handed out.
Telephone: "Ah a new customer I see, I see. A liter of milk costs 50 that is all we have."
50... very cheap.
Sarah: "Then I would like to buy a dozen."
Telephone: "Yes indeed, indeed... okay if there is anything else, I would like to know your name Miss Customer so that I can add it to our phone book's customer lists."
The voice sounded like a kid but talking like a businessman... kids these days were really changing.
Sarah: "My name... just Sarah."
Telephone: "Sarah? Sarah? Poosh it's Sarah! a dozen hurry up! Okay, Miss Sarah, delivery will be there in just a few minutes!"
Sarah: "You haven't even asked for my address..."
Telephone: "Do not worry! Our delivery man lived in this neighborhood for a long time before we came back, he know the place like the back of his palm.. good day and please keep patronizing our milk CLANK!"
He put down the telephone. I was surprised a little. I opened the TV and watched, I still could not believe that Baron was not beside me anymore... he used to lay with me on the couch urging me to rub his coat...
After half an hour.
"Ding! Dong!"
That was fast... my delivery was already here? I went outside and opened the door. There, a motorbike was parked in front.
"Hello, Miss Sarah! A dozen here!"
He was a tall guy... with a really handsome face... Mark looked good but he was different he looked like he was a foreigner to me. His hair was so black... I started to wonder how could a man like this exist. He was wearing a leather jacket and jeans... what the hell... but he looked so manly.
"Hello, Miss Customer? Do I have something on my face?"
He was talking to me and smiling as bright as the sun... what the hell's happening to me?
Sarah: "No.. no uhm!"
I touched my pockets in search of my wallet then I realized that I didn't have one.
Sarah: "Wait a minute I forgot my money!"
"Of course, I will wait."
I ran outside... I unconsciously looked into the mirror and checked my face, fixed my hair... what the hell!!!! I'm acting so strange!
Sarah: "What the hell am I doing... I have my problems and I'm acting like a girl in love."
::::::::::::::::::::::
I did it anyway... I went outside with my hair tied up and cleared my face.
"Hello, Miss Customer... did you have trouble looking for your wallet?"
Sarah: "Yes of course! Here..."
I paid and he unpacks the milk from his case behind the motor. A little bit of mist comes out of the box as he took the dozen of milk out.
"I will bring it inside our house."
Sarah: "Yes... huh?"
I haven't fixed my living room yet.
Sarah: "NO! I will bring it inside."
This was so unlike me, why am I acting like this?
"Of course.. as you wish."
He gave me a case of milk on me. It was heavy but I didn't want to lose face so I carried it with all my strength.
"Then I will be going now... I wish you would call again for another order."
He smiled at me... oh god... how can he melt my heart? What's his name?
<Poosh/Baron POV>
It was Friday, it was the day when she came along. Outside, the name of our store was posted, we ran a milk outlet branded "Katy's Milk" Rocky was the manager and Shey was the one who managed the phone calls and the phone book while I Poosh managed the delivery. It had just been a month and this was running smoothly.
Shecate: "How's my boys? Your father is here!"
Shey: "Yehey Father!"
Rocky: "We have a father now?"
The family background was simple, Shecate was our mother and the 3 of us were brothers, we ran the shop as a family business... if you would ask me where the milk was coming from, I'd say it was being delivered by a truck that Shecate never told us where it came from.
Gank: "Hey guys long time no see!"
By his smell and old gesture we realized who it was. By his nature, Rocky ran to him hugging him. It was so unlikely of him.
Rocky: "Ah I miss you..."
The 2 of them were very close since Mark's house was just around his.
Shecate: "Now that our background is complete, we will start getting serious with our mission! Poosh! I believe she has seen you right?"
Poosh: "Yeah!"
Shecate: "Remember our deal!"
