"Help! Anyone, Nen, Con! Mmph!"I batted uselessly at the enthusiastic hairy hound doing its best to eat my face whilst simultaneously pinning me to the sofa. I'm not exactly a dog person, we've never had pets at home, they just don't fit with our family's lifestyle. Despite that dogs seem to be attracted to me for some reason, maybe it's my shampoo and my current predicament is just the latest in a long string of dog 'attacks'."Get off Boris," I tried whilst pushing at the pile of hair and bones."Boris! Garden, now!" Nena's voice ordered.There wasn't an immediate reaction but the follow on, 'leave Gaby alone' had the desired effect, the hound somewhat reluctantly releasing me and sloping out of the lounge. I did my best to regain my seat and composure."Sorry Gab, you okay?""I'll live.""He doesn't do it to anyone else.""We are talking Gabs here," a second voice opined, my BF, Connie.My name is Gaby Bond, I'm a short arse almost seventeen-year-old college student with a penchant for cycle racing and a sometimes boyfriend from the local aristocracy. I live with my parents in Dernau, a sleepy village in the Ahr valley on the eastern edge of the Eifel mountains in Germany. If my life was just that simple it would be great but I've ended up with more going on in my world than most people have in a lifetime which brings me to why I'm in the Fischer house on a cold and damp December evening.This is the complete version of the book with extra, never before published chapters!
