pulled back.

“Oh… K… Kodi… er….heheh” She stammered. I got up on all fours, and I felt my feet racing away. When I was a little further. I looked back at her. I saw her pinning her ears down. She sat there, looking ashamed. I decided to go back and apologize.

“S…. Silvey?”

“Hm?” She looked at me. I saw her eyes misted up.

“Are you ok?” I asked. She nodded slowly.

“I guess…?” she sighed. I licked a tear that was rolling down her cheek.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean…. I shouldn’t of ran away.”

“It’s ok. I understand why you did. It’s just so hard because I….. Well…..” she kept pausing. It looked as if she wanted to confess one of her secrets to me.

“What.” I whispered. “What is it.” She dug her nose in my neck. My face felt hot with blushing.

“I…well. It’s hard to say… but I….. L……love….. Like you” she confessed. My eyes popped open.

“Really?” I asked, looking at her. She nodded.

“It’s hard to admit it. I was afraid… of rejection” she admitted.

She was afraid of rejection? So was I! I licked her. She looked at me.

“Silvia….Silvey… I liked you too… I too was afraid of rejection”

She giggled. I chuckled back. We soon were nuzzling.

“Kodi? Wanna be my…. Boyfriend?” she asked.

“Yes!” I barked. She smiled at me, I smiled at her. Our eyes were locked.

The moment was distracted when I heard paw steps coming towards us. I turned, seeing Dusty. Her eyes were filled with a mix of Sorrow, anger, and confusion.

“You know Kodi…” she growled through clenched teeth. “Love Hurts”
