Her perfect ass resting upon the sofa’s cushion, dark-haired Jane moved the cigarette to her lips and took a puff, her knee high leather stiletto boots stretched out on the livingroom table, the hot looking jean clad lady taking it easy with some trash novel, reading away all day in her apartment. Wearing nothing but a bra under her black T-shirt, Jane continued to absorb the pages when all of a sudden her apartment’s buzzer rang.

A frustrated expression on her attractive face, the woman placed the book to the side, removed her feet from the table, and then raised her terrific butt. Strolling over to the intercom, she pressed a button and asked, “ Yea…who’s there?”

“ Happy birthday Jane…, it’s me, Kelly!”

Surprised to here her sister’s voice, the twenty eight year old brunette, her mane raised to her head’s top, replied, “ Oh hi Kell…, ok, come on up!”

In a joking way, the lady downstairs answered, “ Kell? C’mon…you know I hate it when you call me that…it’s Kelly!”

“ Yea, yea…just get up here.”

After she pressed the button, Jane just stood there by the livingroom door and waited. A few moments later, she heard footsteps and finally a knock. Quickly, the brunette pulled open the door and was greeted by the pretty face of a sandy-haired lady two years younger than herself.

Dressed in a business skirt suit and pumps, Kelly stepped inside the suite, holding a box approximately a foot wide, long, and deep.

“ Good to see you Kell…, oh…I’m sorry, that’s ‘Kelly’. So what the hell brings you to this town…I haven’t seen you in over a year?”

“ I know we live hundreds of miles apart, but I was on a business trip this week, the company’s got us going here and there…, then I remembered today’s your birthday…, so guess what…I decided to stop by…, I mean…I’m in the area anyway…may as well say high.”

“ Oh…ok.”

“ So how are you doing…haven’t heard from you in a while.”

“ I’m ok…pretty much stay to myself.”

“ I know…, that’s your whole problem…you spend your whole life alone…, no friends…, you’re single, no kids, what do you do with all your time anyway?”

“ I read…and ofcourse I got my job.”

“ Your job…you’ve been at that store for some time now…don’t you wanna do something better?”

“ I’m all right.”

“ Well…, I got something for you.”, said Kelly as she strolled over to the livingroom table and placed the box to the oak surface.

“ What’s that?”

“ Your birthday present…go ahead, open it…just pull up the lid.”

Curiosity on her face, her dark eyes glowing a little, Jane bent down somewhat and did as suggested, opening the lid. Suddenly, to her surprise, she looked straight down at a puppy, a light brown colored animal, the thing looking real “cute” and “nice”.

Not knowing what to say at first, Jane eventually asked,, “ What the fuck’s this?”

“ It’s for you…, someone to keep you company…, a friend…ain’t he cute?”

Using all her strength and will, Jane held back her disappointment and forced out a smile, saying to her sister, “ Oh yes…, he’s nice….nice little doggy, what kind is it?”

“ It’s a baby shepherd.”

“ Nice…what do I feed him?”

“ Dog food…what else? I’ll buy some for you when we go out in a few minutes…any good cafes or restaurants around here?”

“ Ah…yea…, I think there’s something a few blocks from here.”

“ You think?”

“ Kelly…, I really don’t get out much…I stay to myself pretty much.”

“ And don’t I know it…that’s why I got you the dog…so you’ll have someone to talk to.”

Nodding her head slowly in a sarcastic way, Jane killed her cigarette in an ashtray and picked up the dog, pretending she was intrigued with it, making it look like the gift made her happy. After petting it for a minute or so, Jane set it down to the floor, watching the thing start exploring the room, searching around, smelling this and that.

“ Nice…, he’s sure getting himself situated, ain’t he?”, remarked Jane to her sister.

“ He sure is.”

“ OK…, we can go somewhere…I’ll take you to the mall…I know where that is, they also got a pet shop there…we can buy his food and a few other things for him…we’ll eat at Chi Chi’s…they serve booze as well…it’ll be perfect.”

“ All right…then let’s go.”

Jane fired up a fresh cigarette and grabbed the empty box, walking with it into the kitchen and placing it down to the floor under the sink. She returned to the livingroom and said, “ OK…we’re off.”

Kelly opened the door and stepped out into the hall as her sister followed, locking the door behind her. Both attractive young ladies strolled downstairs and out of the structure, walking over to a new dark blue Mustang parked in the lot going with the complex.

“ I thought I’m gonna take us there?”, asked Jane

“ That’s ok…I’ll drive…we’ll use my car here.”

“ Cool…, nice car, a Mustang.”, said Jane, looking next over at her old Topaz parked nearby.

“ Hey…, that’s what happens…I got a real job, that’s why I wear a skirt suit to work…not jeans like some other people I know.”

“ Very funny, Kelly…did you come all this way just to put me down?”

“ It’s just a joke…, you know…a birthday joke.”

“ Sure.”, replied Jane as both women parked their asses into the two front seats of the neat looking car.

Following Jane’s directions, Kelly drove to the mall where the ladies went to Chi Chi’s and had some dinner together with a few drinks, bullshitting about this and that. Finished, they left the restaurant and strolled over to a pet shop where Kelly bought the dog food and a bowl. With the purchase made, they returned to the car, parked their butts, and left, going back to Jane’s place.

Up in the suite again, the women talked for a while, watching the puppy as it began eating some of the food after it was placed in the new bowl, causing Kelly to say, “ Look at him…, he’s got an appetite…that means he likes it here with you…I’m sure you two’ll be great friends.”

“ Yea…, I guess so.”

“ Ofcourse…, why don’t you pick him up again…say hi again.”

Only to please her sister, Jane bent down and raised the animal to her chest, holding it like one holds a baby.

“ You should really get married and have some kids.”, said Kelly.

“ Who knows.”

“ Yea…, I’m serious…Jeff and I’ve been married for two years now…I love it.”

“ Like I said…who knows.”

“ You need someone…living alone and isolated isn’t right…it’s no good.”

“ We’ll see.”

Another half hour went by and Kelly finally remarked, “ OK Jane…, I gotta go…, gotta get a few more things done in this area before I head back…got a long drive ahead of me.”

“ OK…and thanks for the puppy.”

Embracing her sister, Kelly answered, “ No problem Jane…just take my advice…, Ok…, find some guy…they’ve got a bunch of good ones out there…you just gotta go out and look.”

Rolling her eyes, the dark-haired lady replied, “ Yea…right.”

“ They do…not all men are jerks.”

“ I know…those who ain’t jerks are fuckheads…that’s about all you’ve got.”

Laughing, Kelly said, “ Oh Jane, Jane…, what’s wrong with you…you’re so afraid of attachment…what’s scares you?”

“ Nothing…I just like to be alone…that’s all…”

With a friendly sigh, Kelly hugged her sister a second time and then went for the door, saying, “ Well…good luck…I hope you like the dog…what are you gonna name him?”

“ Don’t know yet…I’ll think of something.”

“ Ok…, by…I’ll give you a call sometime next week or so.”

“ All right.”

Once Kelly left the apartment, Jane simply stood there in the errie silence holding the cute looking and helpless animal. After she heard her sister’s car pull out of the lot, Jane just continued to stand there and stare at the wall, breathing in the stillness that echoed from every corner of the suite.
