Page 12 of Falling for Fang

“I’ll be right back.” He said as he kissed my forehead. “You take care of her.”

“Of course.” Doc winked at me again as Fang left. I knew he was just trying to get a rise out of him. “You have that man wrapped around your finger. Enjoy it.”

“I will, thanks.” I closed my eyes and waited for my guy to come back. At least they caught her, and she couldn’t hurt me anymore. I would have to have a talk with Tommy about job etiquette. I messaged him and asked me to call me.

Fang came back to the room about thirty minutes later with my medicine and some treats. I could not believe how lucky I was to have him.

“I want you to eat this and take a pill. We will give it a chance to kick in and then I’ll take you to see the new place. Doc loaned me a wheelchair. It’s just for a few days.” He said as he sat beside me while we ate the burgers he picked up. When I finished and I could feel the pill working I told him I was ready to go.

“Okay, Sophie found Tommy’s number and Corinne’s they will both be at the Adoption Day tomorrow. It starts at eleven and ends at five. They will arrive at ten so they can help set up and so you can talk to them.” He helped me into the wheelchair and took me to his truck. Gently he picked me up and placed me on the seat.” After he put the wheelchair in the back he got in and we were headed to the compound. I was so excited to see the inside of the building. If only I wasn’t so tender from earlier.

“I hope some big woman named Bertha makes Brandi her bitch.” I mumbled under my breath as I tried to get comfortable. Fang threw his head back and laughed. It was such a wonderful sound that I smiled at him.

“My girl is feeling a little bloodthirsty today.” He said as he reached for my hand and linked our fingers together. “I love it.”

Fang

When we pulled up, I got the wheelchair out and gently picked her up and placed her in it. I wheeled her to the door and Blade opened it for us.

“Are you ready baby?” I asked her as her leg was bouncing up and down. Blade laughed, noticing her leg and stood back so I could wheel her inside. We went through her clinic first. I showed her the lobby, exam rooms, her office and the storage areas.

“OMG, how did you do all of this so quickly?” she exclaimed, looking around with her mouth hanging open and eyes wide as saucers.

“Tommy put us in touch with a neighboring vet and he was a big help himself. He feels terrible about what happened.” I told her as she looked around. “We got a lot of help from them. Do you like it?”

“It’s wonderful. I can’t wait to use it. What about the shelter?” she asked excitedly. I wheeled her through a set of double doors in the back of the clinic that connected to the shelter space. There were two rooms. One for the dogs with about twenty kennels and one for cats with twenty cages. There were two ‘getting to know you’ rooms as well as plenty of storage and a huge backyard area fenced in. I wheeled her through, and she saw her animals looking right at home in their new quarters. We went through the whole space so she could see everything. As we reached the end of it, she started crying.

“Is it too much, are you hurting?” I asked her, suddenly worried she had overdone it. She looked up at me, those brown eyes shining with tears and tugged my hand.

“I love you Jimmy Fang Watson. You are the best thing to ever happen to me.” She said as I leaned down to kiss her.

“There’s more. Put your arms around my neck.” She did what I told her and I picked her up and started walking up a staircase on the side of the building. When we got to the top I kissed her again. “Open the door baby.” she turned the knob, and I walked in and put her on the couch. Stay, I'll be right back to give you the tour.”

I jogged down the stairs and picked up her wheelchair to take back up so I could show her around the place. The door opened to a large kitchen area with a nice size table by a window. There was a living area with a sectional couch and a television stand and plenty of throw pillows. It was very comfortable. I took her into a bedroom that was fixed up as a guest room. There was a guest bathroom between the two bedrooms. Then I showed her to the master suite, and it was beautiful. There was a king size bed near the center with bookshelves and a sitting chair with an ottoman attached near a window. The bathroom had a separate shower and soaking tub with double vanities, and it had his and her closets. It was beautiful.

“I don’t understand. What is all this?” she asked me as I got down on one knee beside her. She looked very nervous but not as much as I was.

“Cara, you took my breath away from the first time I saw you. I have been courting you for months. I know we have only had a few official dates, but I feel like you know me well enough now to know that I don’t do casual dating. I want to spend my life with you. I want to work alongside you and share in all the joys and trials that life gives us. I don’t expect you to marry me this week, but I would like it if you would agree to it in the future and I’d like you to move into this place with me. I had this built for us.” I bared my soul to her as she caught her breath and leaned in to kiss me.

“I never thought I would find someone that loved me for me. Someone that I enjoy being with and that makes me feel whole. You are all of that. I have never had someone who wanted to take care of me. My parents weren’t bad, but they were wrapped up in their own careers and too busy for me most of the time. My brothers are all much older and joined the service moving away. It’s just been me for a long time. So yes, I’d love to eventually marry you and I want to live here with you and work with you.” she said with emotion choking her up. “I love you so much.”

“Baby, I love you too. Tomorrow is going to be awesome.” I said kissing her. “Can I pack your stuff and move you in?”

“My apartment was furnished so I really don’t have a lot of stuff. It wouldn’t take long to pack it. How about Sunday afternoon we go over and I’ll let you do it.” She suggested. as I put her on the bed. “What are you doing?”

“Well, we won’t be able to have sex for the next six weeks, but we can at least take a nap and cuddle.” I lay down beside her and we fell asleep. She was lying on the side that wasn’t hurt and I was behind her with my hand resting on her hip. I could totally get used to this.

When she woke up, I started to kiss her and she covered her mouth and wrinkled her nose.

“I need to brush my teeth and get something to drink.” She said frustrated that she couldn’t do much for herself at the moment. Doc said after a few days she would be able to get around better. She just couldn’t do anything too strenuous. I helped her to the bathroom and then carried her to the living room.

“Sophie wanted to come hang out for a bit after work. I thought while she was here, I would go get some things done for tomorrow.” Fang brought me a big, insulated cup of ice water, a sandwich with chips and handed me the remote. “I’ll be back in a couple of hours, and we can decide on dinner.”
