Another shot story for you, I was going to make it a one shot, but I thought I would expand on it a little more. Hope you like it, I'm having trouble writing recently.
Lonely no More
Chapter 1
Reid lived alone, he was a Surgeon, but he was lonely. He hated going home to a empty house, but he also has gone out on many dates with different women , but none of them seemed right for him. He laughed maybe he was never going to find someone with his attitude, but he knew he couldn't change for anyone. It was a Thursday night he had 3 days off, he so needed it. He was walking home he didn't bring his car it was in the garage getting work done on it. He stopped outside the local pound, and something drew him inside. He really wasn't so sure he wanted a pet, but looking wouldn't hurt. He told the lady he was just here to look, but he wasn't sure if he was going to take any animal yet. Reid smiled as the other lady yelled for another person to come, and take Reid back to see the animals. The most beautiful young lady walked up to him, "Hi I'm Sanda, so what are you interested in"?
"Well I was just looking, maybe a puppy what do you think? Oh my name is Reid"
Amber laughed, "Don't ask Sanda she is a cat person, this is her cat Tegan"
"Yes I'm a cat person, but come on Reid I will show you some puppies" Reid followed her, Sanda stopped, "You have time to train him or her right. If you don't a puppy may not be the best choice. A older dog would be good, but you would have to walk them daily at least 4 times or more. "
"Oh man I'm a surgeon , I don't know about that"
"Your a Surgeon that is cool what about a cat"?
"A cat"?
"Or a kitten but we have some really beautiful cats. Sanda walked down lifting a gray kitten. "This is silver, but of course you can give her a different name. She is really sweet, she loves to cuddle, but she will scratch still but that is because she is young. " Sanda put Silver down, and picked up a black, and white cat. "This little bundle of joy is Boots, she is stubborn, but adorable, I just love her"
"She is pretty, but she is stubborn"?
"She loves attention, she doesn't like me to give to much to the others. I basically give them love until someone like yourself comes along , and gives them a good home. I love cats, my cat Tegan is amazing. You being a Surgeon, I would recommend a cat or kitten because they go to the washroom in a litter box. They can stay home alone, but not for days or anything. They are great company, but it is your choice."
"I think maybe a cat would be a great choice"
"Well here is Sammy he is cute too, and Billy our Tabby, he loves to eat"
Reid smiled, "Oh just like me"
"Well which one do you like"?
"I like them all, but I would love your advice, which cat would you like"?
"Well I think Boots, she seems to really like you already, she hasn't stopped watching you"
Reid lifted Boots up, and whispered, "Well would you like to be my roommate"? Boots meowed Sanda and Reid laughed, as Reid whispered, "I'm taking Boots". They walked to the front, and Reid settled the bill, and was told when to bring her back for more needles. Reid was looking at Sanda the whole time, he wanted to ask her if she had a boyfriend , but he was to shy. He thanked her, and walked out, as he walked down the street, he suddenly felt so alone, why didn't he ask her out, or for her number?
To be continued.

Chapter 2
Amber smiled, "Wow that guy was adorable don't you agree"?
"Yes he was cute, I didn't notice a wedding ring on his finger. He didn't mention a wife or anything"
"Why didn't you ask him out Sanda"?
"I just met him, but he seemed really nice, I'm just talking"
"You love to talk, he was cute, I should have made my move"
"You would Amber"
"Sanda I have his phone number, and address, maybe you should call him"
"No way he wanted a cat not a girlfriend"
"Maybe he wanted both"
"Amber do some work, I have to go fed the pets" Amber smiled as she wrote Reid's phone number , and address on a note pad , and put it in Sanda's pocket in her coat.
Sanda was feeding the animals, but she couldn't get Reid out of her head. What was wrong with her, why was she acting this way? Could it be she has been so lonely, she moved to Oakdale 6 months ago for this job, and missed her family like crazy. She didn't want to leave home, but she felt this was the best for her, because she could work her way up to be Manager one day. She loved working with Animals, and she also helped out at the Soup kitchen for the homeless, and 1 day a week she handed out meals to the elderly. She took after her Father that way he was so generous always helping out wherever he could. She loved going with her Father, but now she was continuing here which made her Parents happy. She had a small condo , it was nice for her, and Tegan. She had wonderful friends, but she would love a boyfriend, but she knew she was being silly. She picked up Silver, "Sorry he didn't take you, but Boots has been here way to long, she was losing her spirit, and that killed Sanda. She whispered, "I promise you if no one takes you by next Wednesday, I will bring you home baby". She hugged her, and gave her fresh food, and water. She finished up, and walked to the front telling Amber the animals were all fed, and given fresh water. She put her coat on, and smiled, "See you tomorrow Amber"
"Sweet dreams Sanda, I know what you will be dreaming about"
"Girl you are to much, bye" Sanda left, and walked to her car. She put her hands in her pocket to get her keys. She pulled them out along with the note. She smiled, "Amber you are to much". Sanda put the note back in her pocket, and drove home. She went into the house, Tegan greeted her right away.
"Hey Teg, how was your day"? Tegan meowed, Sanda whispered, "My day was great, I met this really cute man, he had red hair, but not to red, and the sweetest smile, and beautiful eyes." Tegan was staring at her, Sanda smiled, "I know I'm being foolish, but let me have fun, beside I probably will never see him again. Tegan there is this adorable kitten at the pound her name is Silver, would you mind if I brought her home, to be part of our family"? Tegan was looking at her, Sanda smiled, "I know you are saying no way, but she is adorable. Lets get you something to eat, and I'm starving too". Sanda went into the kitchen, with Tegan following behind her.
To be continued.

Chapter 3
The next day Sanda got up, and the first thing she thought about was Reid. She smiled as she got up, and went to her purse, and took the phone number out , and wondered if she should call Reid? She was shy, but she knew he was special or he was hot, she knew she would regret not giving it a try. She sat on the couch with the phone in her hand when she dialed the number. She almost hung up, and she froze when she heard his voice.
"Hello" Reid didn't hear anyone but he knew someone was there he could hear breathing. He laughed to himself thinking this was a crank call at 9am in the morning. "Hello I know your there"
"Sorry hello this is Sanda"
Reid recognized her voice, he smiled as he sat on his bed. "Hello your the young lady from the Pound last night"?
"Yes, I just called to make sure everything is OK with you, and Boots"
'She is fine we had a little bit of a problem, but everything seems OK"
"Oh what happened"?
"Well she cried when I turned out the lights, so I had to bring her up on my bed, and she fell asleep"
"Oh to cute, she is sweet"
"Yeah I bought that food you told me about, I will get a bed, and other stuff today"
"If you need any help, I would love to help you pick it out"
"Really"? Reid said but Sanda got shy, "Oh I don't know why I said that"
"I'm off work at 4 today, what time do you work until"?
"I'm off at 3, I could meet you somewhere" Sanda said.
"How about you come to the Hospital, I work at Oakdale Memorial"?
"Sure what floor"?
"The third floor, room 3b"
"I will be there, maybe we can have a coffee together"
"I would love that Sanda, I can't wait to see you again"
"Really"
Reid smiled, "Yes, I wanted to ask you out for a coffee, but I was scared you would say no, and I would feel horrible"
"You are a shy one too"
"Not really , I just don't date much , but it will be nice to have someone help me pick out stuff for boots"
"See you later Reid, I'm really glad I called"
"You made my day Sanda"
"Bye" Reid hung up, Sanda was so happy she put the phone down, and almost screamed she was so excited. She hasn't dated in a long time, and seeing Reid again would be fun. She knew it might only be a friendship, but that was fine with her too. She ran in the kitchen, and got Tegan his breakfast. She grabbed a Eggo, and her purse, and left the house. She went to work, and Amber right away knew something happened.
"Why the smile Sanda, you look like you won the lottery"
"This is better than a lottery, I'm going out with Reid tonight"
"OMG you called him"?
"Well you left his number in my pocket, I couldn't resist"
"OMG he is so cute"
"He is isn't he" They both hug, but stop when a couple come in looking at them. Amber whispered, "They probably think we are a couple" Sanda smiled as she whispered, "Let them, I will go feed our babies" She walked down the hall, she was so happy, she knew this was going to be a day she would never forget.

Chapter 4
Sanda and Reid both were excited about seeing each other again. Reid was sitting in his office, when Sanda came in with a Nurse.
"Dr. Oliver this young lady says she has an appointment to see you"
"Yes thanks Natalie". Reid got up, "Hello Sanda, it is so nice seeing you again"
"I'm a little late, I had to finish up at the Clinic"
"That is fine sit please, I just have to finish signing some papers, than we can go"
Sanda sat down as Reid was signing some papers, she smiled he was so cute. He looked up, "I'm all finished, we can go would you like a coffee here, or outside somewhere"?
"Maybe we can get the things for Boots first, than we can grab a coffee"
"How about we go to Walmart, than we can go to dinner"?
"Dinner that would be fun". They got up, Reid went to Bob Hughes office to hand in some papers to him. They left, and Reid asked her if she would mind leaving her car at the hospital so he could drive her, and bring her back after dinner.
"That would be fine".
They go to Reid's car, and he opened the door, and shut it than ran around getting into the car. He smiled, "You don't mind going to Walmart do you"?
"You kidding I love Walmart"
"Me too, I love that you can get everything you want in one place"
They drove over, and he opened the door, and took her hand, as they walked inside. Reid grabbed a cart, they were walking around, they went to the Pet section. He asked her to help pick out what was best for Boots. She told him a cat bed would be a good idea, and they got a few toys, and some treats. They grabbed more kitty litter, and a few other items. They were walking about Reid smiled, "Oh look at this Dallas Cowboy shirt"
"My Dad, and Brother loves that team too"
"Do you like watching football Sanda"?
"Yeah sometimes"
Reid smiled, "Well than lets find a shirt that fits you".
"No Reid I don't want you spending money on me"
" I want to you are helping me, and you love football that is way cool in my eyes. Katie hates sports, so I basically watch the games alone with is pretty lonely"
"Katie who is she"?
"Oh a good friend, she has a little boy Jacob you would love him"
"I would love to meet them"
"Really maybe this Saturday, we have movie night"
"Movie night that sounds fun"
"Well it is Katie's choice this weekend so it is Chick flick night"
"My kind of movie" Sanda smiled as Reid laughed, "Oh not you too"
"I love romantic films, and comedies, not really fond of horror"
"I don't mind horror, but I like guy movies"
"I thought you would" Reid smiled as he picked up a Dallas Cowboy shirt putting it against her. "I think this will fit you".
"Yeah it is my size"
"Great I'm getting it maybe we can watch a game together someday"
"I would like that". They walked up to the front, and paid. They were walking to the car, he asked her if she would like Mexican or Italian food"?
"Mexican is my favourite"
"Me too" Reid smiled, "We are a match made in heaven". She stopped, Reid turned, "Oh man did I freak you out"?
"No I was just a little surprised you said that"
"Well you like Football, you like Mexican food, and I love spending time with you, I have a feeling we will be friends forever"
"I think you might be right" Sanda smiled as he opened the door, she got in, and she was overwhelmed, she really liked Reid, and she realized he liked her, and she sure hoped they would be more than just friends, but she knew she had to take it slow.

Chapter 5
Sanda and Reid drove to the Mexican restaurant, and went inside. They were taken to a booth, and they sat down. Sanda ordered a Margarita, and Reid ordered a coke he didn't want to drink, and drive.
"Would you like the platter, we could share there is a lot of food"? Reid said , and smiled as Sanda said the platter would be great. The waitress brought their drinks, and took their order, and left. Reid smiled, "So tell me a little bit about yourself"
"Me I live alone, I work at the clinic, I have a cat Tegan. I love to read, and write, and watch movies, and I love to eat"
"Eat my kind of girl"
Sanda smiled as she whispered, 'What about you Dr. Oliver"?
"Reid please"
"OK Reid tell me about yourself"?
"I'm a surgeon a pretty good one if I say so myself"
Sanda giggled, "And you are proud I see"
"Yeah I worked hard to get where I am. I wasn't so sure I wanted to be a Doctor when I was younger but as I grew up it was my dream. I have been alone most of my life, and I'm OK with that. I have a wonderful friend Katie, and her son is amazing. I have never owned a pet Boots is my first pet. I wanted one but really I never had the time for them. Boots seems content with me, I hope she gets use to my long hours. I basically think she eats , goes to the washroom, and plays with my feet under the blankets. She cried last night but when I brought her to my bed she calmed down"
"Cats are much more easier that dogs. I love dogs don't get me wrong, but they are a lot of work. Cats can basically fend for themselves, and we don't have to walk them. "
"Yeah but the kitty box is gross"
"You have to keep it tidy or you will have problems"
"And smells"
"Now that is gross but true"
Reid reached over, "This is fun being here with you. I'm real happy I met you when I decided to get boots. You were a great help, and you helped me a lot today picking out what she needs"
"No problem, I would like you to meet Tegan, he is a character"
"Tegan that is a unusual name"
"I know it just came to me, you will love him I'm sure"
"I'm sure I will too"
The waitress brought the food, and put it down. Sanda smiled, "Oh this looks so good, I love nachos" She took one, and took a bite. The waitress smiled, and asked if they needed anything else.
"No this is fine for now thank you" Reid said as the waitress walked away.
"You were right they do give you a lot of food"
"Tell you the truth I order this for myself, and eat more than half of it all on my own. I pay with a stomachache, but at the time it doesn't seem to matter"
"I know what you mean, I'm like that with ice cream. I keep eating it until I feel ill"
"They have the best ice cream here with fried apple cakes"
"Oh Yum"
Reid and Sanda served up the food, they continued to eat. They talked, and really got to know each other better.

Chapter 6
Reid and Sanda were eating, and having a really good time. Sanda ate to much she was stuffed, but the food was amazing. She could always diet tomorrow. She didn't have to diet, but she knew if she keeps eating like she did today she would be in trouble. Reid reached over asking her if something was wrong?
"No I'm known to daydream sorry about that"
The waitress came over, and asked them if they would like anything else, and they said no just the check. They paid, and left a tip, and left the restaurant. There was a park across the road, and Reid asked her if she would like to have a little walk before he drove her home?
"I would like that". They walked across the street holding hands, it was a warm night so there was a lot of people in the park. They were holding hands, Sanda was talking, and Reid loved listening to her. She was so sweet, and energetic, and she sure loved to talk she wasn't really shy, and he thought that was amazing. He stopped, and Sanda giggle asking if she was talking to much.
"No not at all, I love listening to you, but would you like to go on the swings"?
"I was going to ask you, but I thought you would say I was being a baby, but I love swings especially when someone pushes me"
"Well lets go than". They walked over Sanda sat down, and Reid started to push her. She kept her eye on him the whole time he was laughing her little giggle was cute, and she asked him to push her higher. He did but he stopped, and just watched her going up, and down. The swing slowed down, and she got off , and walked over to Reid, and went into his arms, as they kiss. They were holding each other just kissing, and Reid knew it was going to be hard to leave her, he was having such a great time. He never thought about dating much he was to busy but being with Sanda he was starting to realize what he has been missing for so long. He loved her smile, he loved everything about her. She wrapped her arms around him, and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Today was so perfect Reid, I had the best time"
"Me too Angel"
"Angel I love that nickname Reid"
"You are one of a kind Sanda Lynn, I was blessed the moment, I met you"
"I think you mean that"
"I do very much so". They kiss again, than they started to walk back to the car, he opened the door for her, and she got in. He got in, and was driving home, they both were pretty quiet they hated for the night to end. They got to Sanda's home he ran around, and opened the door. He held her hand, as he walked her up to her door, and she stopped, and whispered, "Would you like to come in for a coffee"?
Reid smiled, "I should get home because I have to work in the morning real early but can I take a rain check"
"Oh I wanted to introduce you to Tegan"
Reid whispered, "OK one coffee would be nice, and I can meet your special guy"
Sanda giggled, and turned to open the door as Reid stood behind her.
