Fear

After that special time in the morning, she did not bother me at all but she is all smiles that anyone could notice. Not my problem so move on. Soon, the classes ended without a hitch. I immediately head to my job. By the way, I am a waiter along with some of my colleagues. I changed to my uniform and started my job. The place is quite famous around the area since it has good quality service and has a very good atmosphere for setting up a date. Soon, my job ended and I thanked everyone as I get out.

After heading back home, I cleaned and cooked myself a dinner. I learned them by watching them. Anyways, after cleaning the dishes, I brush my teeth and hit the bed. Soon it started again.

"Well yeah, looks like its time. See you later."

"Yeah see you later."

I woke up with a bit of that nightmare. It is blurry but I felt scared. Maybe due to my past? But I remember everything that happened. I pondered but decided to check the time and it is on time for me to do my daily jogging. I quickly prepped myself and headed out. I am thinking of changing the course a bit so I jogged to a park. There I see a lot of people jogging as well. Some take their pets to a walk and some are doing a dance fitness. The air is fresh and smells wonderful. After doing few laps around the park, I rested on a bench. I still can't get that hazy feeling when I woke up. As I ponder there, I was surprised at the back.

"Fuu~"

"!!!!"

I immediately jump and distanced myself. I turn around and I saw her. Of course its Sasaki-san,

Along with a leash.

"Are you that surprised? I didn't know you are that sensitive fufufu."

"I am and who would not be surprised with that?"

"I called your name for quite a while but you are not responding so I shook you up a bit hehe~"

"Moving on, you have a dog? What breed?"

"Well I do! And her breed is Greman sheperd. Her name is Athena."

"Greek Goddess huh, quite the name there."

"Of course, she is very good. Athena, come back!"

As she called her dog's name, she whistled as well. Few moments later, Athena returned and she's wagging her tail as he sits near Sasaki-san. She immediately put the leash back on the collar.

"Well, I let her free since she is not having a lot of time outside these past few days."

"I see..." I look at the dog, and the dog looked back at me. I patted her and apparently, she took a liking to me too.

"Mou~ I have not gotten a headpat yet."

"Sorry, what did you say? I got quite focused on the headpatting."

"N-nothing."

"Anyways, Kage-kun, do you want to jog together?"

I do not know why, but she seems to emit an eerie aura around her that even athena is cowering.
