SCENT OF LOVE

8.𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫

My eyes open just a minute before my alarm rings . It's 5 am right now and my room is silent. I could hear the clock ticking as every second passed by. I just laid down until my alarm buzzed and in a few moments buddy jumped on my bed and kept his paw on my chest and pants

People would think he's trying to wake me up but that's the case here . He's just hungry, when I try to get up buddy jumps off the bed and exits from my room .

I draw the curtains open, the sun hasn't risen yet and it still looks gloomy out there , it has been raining constantly . I just can't stand this cold weather which comes as a package with the season.

When I enter the hall buddy is already waiting with his food bowl near the kitchen counter I smile at him while he waggles his tail, I take out the dog food from the cabinet and I fill his bowl and he stays still until I finish "go ahead" I pet his head

I freshen up and make myself some fruit smoothie after we both finished our food. I take out buddy for a morning run.

The sun is already up , and I am greeted by a few of my fellow neighbors who are also for a morning warmup or to take their dogs out . Near my apartment there's a dog park where there are many Golden retrievers like buddy . He's almost a year old but still has the same behavior as a puppy , Even he has made a few friends of his own around the area.

We run a few rounds around the park when my phone rings "what is it?" I ask

"Good Morning to you too" Ian snickered from the other side. I am astonished by the fact that this guy is awake this early but there's more possibility of him not sleeping last night. After his birthday celebration was done by his father, Ian was still not happy and he threw another party for his friends last night

"I heard some crazy information you might be interested in" he informed me .I stopped running due to the sudden action, Buddy got confused and tried to pull away. I gestured to him to rest and he sat at the spot near me "About what?" I asked

He remained silent and didn't reply, he loves to get on my nerves sometimes "Ian just spill it , I don't have time" My tone became rough

"Woah chill man, It's about Stella the fashion Student we met" my fingers tightened around the phone hearing him "what did you hear?" I asked again

"Stella Miller is the only daughter of Sebastian Miller! I mean he has two sons but she is the only daughter of the Miller's. Can you believe it? But I can't digest the fact that she is studying Fashion instead of law like her family. Is it for show or they-" he paused for a few seconds

"You knew it!" He yelled

I resumed walking, buddy ahead of me "Yeah I did" I responded and he gasped "why did you tell me?"

"Because it's not important"

I know he was in a state of disbelief because of me and thinking what to say next "How is it not important! She would definitely know about her father-" I cut him off in middle
