The Bad and the Good
The Bad and the Good
In a bar in Garange, deep in the slums you can find a place where bitter men who are tired of life, men in their fifties and sixties drink away their lives. Outside it's raining; the sun hasn't been out all week. Tonight inside the bar there is an exception to this trend, there is a young Marbled Cat sitting in the back of the bar and the lights are all on dim. He recently lost his job, caught his best friend in his girlfriend, is about to be evicted, his mom won't have anything to do with him, and is contemplating suicide.
*******************
"Life sucks," I thought to myself. It has always eaten me alive and spit me back out. I work my ass off day after day. I went to college for six years and got my degree and now here I am no money, no job, and no life to live for anymore. Why, it would seem I must I live I have no respect, no friends, it seems the further I go on living the rougher life will get. I have lived my life according to a dying religion, and I still receive nothing, those who seem to be against me and my lord seem to be getting rewarded.
I sat in the bar for a few hours, listening to everyone bitch about their lives. About how they lost their job when the factory was moved to a poorer country, massive layoffs, hiring of people who are younger and less experienced, and people who have just fallen on hard times. Then around hour three the door opened up. An Amur Leopard walked in, I recognized her immediately, she happened to be a co-worker of mine. What the hell is a girl like her doing in a place like this?
She had it easy, good parents, a full scholarship, free room and board and lived in one of the nicest places in the city, she had everything going for her. I kept my head down and didn't look at her but she must have found me because I heard the clicks of her six inch heels on the wood flooring. She stopped in front of the table. She waited for me to look up, but I never did. She then sat down and put her hands on the table.
"Hey, how are you doing," she asked.
"Why don't you just go back where you came from," I said.
"I've been looking for you for the past month since you were fired. I think it was a shit reason why they fired you," she said.
"What's it matter to you, you live in a five star room in the nicest place in the city," I said.
"What happened to that optimistic guy I met a year ago," she asked.
"He never existed; he was a fake, the smile, the caring, and every other detail that you liked about him. All fake," I said.
"Now I know that's not tru..." she started to say.
"You have no idea, when I was but a little kit I was very much a happy and oh so optimistic kit but then life ate me alive. I have never had a true friend in this damn world, not one, hell I thought I found one before I found his cock buried in my girlfriends cunt the day I got fired. Now if you can say that anything remotely like that has happened then you give me a call," I said standing up.
I paid my tab with what remaining credits I had and then headed outside. Before I did though I looked back, she was still sitting there, her back heaving a bit like she was crying. When I was outside I put on my fedora hat, it belonged to my late father. I walked in the direction of the deepest parts of the slums, I had a rent controlled apartment, I moved here shortly after losing my job. I was about half way there when a Mercedes Benz pulled up alongside of me. The window rolled down and there she was yet again.
"So is this how you want to live the rest of your life," she asked, "Mad at the world, certain that there is no silver lining."
"Damn right, I don't believe in unicorns and fairytales, what's so wrong with that," I asked.
"Well at least let me drive you home," she said.
"Fine," I said, realizing she wasn't going to leave me alone until I said yes.
I climbed into her car trying not to get her car seats wet. She then drove me to my apartment, and got out along with me when I got out. I didn't pay much attention to it I walked up to my apartment and unlocked the door. In side it looked like every other slum apartment, old rusted fridge, nasty looking walls and all of that shit that goes with it.
"So this is your place," she asked slightly disgusted.
"Yeah, getting evicted in a couple of days," I said depressed.
"Look, I have a spare room in my apartment, if you want to stay with me until you get back on your feet you're welcome," she offered.
"I don't need you charity," I said.
"God, I'm trying to help you out. You need this and you are coming with me and that's final. Now get your shit and get it in my damn car now," she said.
So I got all of my stuff together, which wasn't much, a single box held all of my possessions, sad really seeing my life fit in one small box. I put it in the trunk and climbed in the front seat. It took about an hour to get to her hotel, then about 15 minutes to get to her penthouse by elevator. It was so big, I never thought I'd see a penthouse this big in my life, I never thought I'd see a penthouse in my life. She showed me where I could sleep, there were like 15 pillows on the bed and a luxurious comforter.
"I don't need all of this," I said to her.
"Oh, just shut up and be happy I'm trying to help your ass out," she said.
"Fine I'll start looking for a job tomorrow, and try staying out of your hair," I said.
"Night Lance, I'll help you look, I have some vacation time and I can take it whenever I want," she said.
"Don't use them because of me," I said closing the door as she walked out.
I removed most of the pillows except for one. I left the comforter on, it was really nice. The bed was so soft I fell asleep right away. I had pleasant dreams for a change, I was actually lucky for a change. I wished it would never end, but all good things come to an end. I was slightly glad not to be disappointed when I woke up. I was in the same place I was when I went to bed. I got up and went outside to get a newspaper. I came back and sat at the table and started circling positions I was qualified for. I found about 30 different job openings in the area, hopefully I could get a job.
I did my morning routine and was about to head out the door when Natalya came out wearing a silk nightgown. I was shocked that she was so open about that I turned away and said, "Morning." She didn't react in the way I thought she would, she briefly and simply replied and went about her morning.
"So are you always this open with people," I asked.
"Well usually I walk around in just my fur when there isn't company. And what are you doing up so early, I thought we were going to go looking for a job for you with each other," she asked.
"I said I didn't want you going to any trouble for me, or did you not get that last night," I said irritably.
"No I got that, but you are being stupid so sit down and relax and you don't think you'll get a job showing up in that tattered thing do you," she asked.
She was right my only good suit was tattered and patched up in places with different colors, I said, "Well what else do I have, because I don't have any creds."
"Well I have credits," she said.
"No, no way in hell. I am not letting you help me out, I don't need your charity," I said.
"Is that what you think it is? I'm just trying to help you out. It's obvious you need a new suit, and your other clothes seem worn out as well, so take a load off today, relax because you'll be with me and by the end of the day we'll be friends," she said in a cheery voice.
So we had breakfast, one of us a bit grudgingly. It was a good meal; it lasted a few hours due to the fact that nothing was really open at seven in the morning. So we sat there and chatted for a bit. I learned more about her other than the fact that she was stinking rich. She had a caring personality and cared for all of those less fortunate than herself, but didn't usually do this kind of thing directly. What makes me wonder, however, she blushed a bit when she said it. It's probably just me.
So then we went to a shop called M and G Custom Outfitters, we met with Marie and her associate Garret. They took my measurements and then selected colors for a suit. Afterwards Marie and Natalia went into the back room, they weren't gone very long but I could tell they were really good friends. She said the suit would be ready by tomorrow. We went to a simple restaurant and ordered simple meals.
"So what do you think of the color of the suit," she asked.
"It's fine," I said.
"Oh come on, it looks really good on you, makes your eyes stand out," she said.
The thought came to my mind again why she would say something like that, but I have no idea. I just shrugged it off yet again. Our day continued she kept saying stuff like that but I ignored it, Once I stopped being so uptight we started having fun, the both of us. We went to a bar after all of that shopping we did. I barely felt the need to drink but she was into it. We ended up taking a taxi back to the hotel. I helped her get to her to the pent house and to her room door; I left her alone after that.
I lay in bed wide awake thinking about what she was saying, it was probably nothing. I mean who in their right mind would want me, especially a girl who could get whoever she wanted. I am trying to comprehend how any girl would like me. I mean I like her, but I just like her as a friend because there is no way in hell she could like me like that. I drifted off to sleep it took a long time the last thing I remember thinking is how she could do better than me.
*******************
13 years ago
Dads late getting home today and mom hasn't heard from him all day. He's usually home by five, now it's eight something's wrong. The phone starts to ring, it's the number of dads work phone, mom picked up immediately.
"Hello," she said, "oh my, how did it happen? Yes, thank you, have a nice day."
"Mom, what happened," I asked.
She turned so fast with a look of anger I had never saw before and said, "You, this is all of your fault, you and that stupid ass religion you insist on believing in! Why did you have to pick Christianity as a damn religion? Get in that fucking cupboard right the fuck now and don't you come out until you decide to renounce that heathen religion or you turn 18!"
I ran quickly into it and soon it became my room.
*******************
I woke up feeling worse than ever, she was right about one thing he died because of me. I looked outside and the sun was up. Just then Natalia came in and this time she was wearing nothing this time so I asked, "Uh, did you forget to dress this morning? You do know you are in the fur right now, right?"
"I didn't forget, I just feel so comfortable around you... is something wrong," she asked.
"No, not really, well nothing that can be fixed anyway. Just some family matters," I said waving her off.
"Like," she pushed.
"Well about thirteen years ago my dad died, and my mom blamed me," I said.
"Well how could she blame you, shit happens," she said.
"Yeah well, before I was born he had a lower income job, I was an accident, the condom broke and they couldn't afford an abortion, so he had to get a better job. He found one at the local power plant," I explained, "It was summer when he died, the plant didn't have sufficient air conditioning and it got hot real fast, he got heat stroke and somehow managed to get his head into a machine and it crushed his skull for the next four and a half hours. By the time they turned it off he was dead."
"...Wow, that has to suck," she said.
"Yeah, it gets worse; my mom blamed me and my religion, so she moved me into the cupboard under the stairs for the next five years, and thus began my life of disappointments, unfair judgment, and depression. Such is life for a guy like me," I said finishing.
"Well, it could have been worse. We'll talk about it later, but right now you need to get ready for your interview. I got an appointment with a company you might like," she said.
"Alright, but you need to leave so I can change," I said.
She left so I could change. The suit was sitting on the chair in the corner of the room. It took me a few minutes to get dressed. I did look really spiffy, she was right about that. I walked out of my room and into the dining room to see a very professionally dressed Natalia.
"Come on, we have to be there in half an hour," she said getting up and grabbing my arm.
She led me to the parking garage and to her car and I asked, "When did you call the company, you never called anyone yesterday that I saw."
"I made the call this morning, I know a guy who owes me a big favor," she said getting into the car.
We got to the company, which turned out to be a multimillion publishing company. I was being looked at for an editor's position. I never thought I'd get to work in a place like this. We arrived on time but the interviewer was busy so we had to wait. I found a pen and a piece of paper so I decided to start writing after I was called in I left the paper on the table, and went into the office.
"So you must be Mr. Jenkins," I said proffering my paw to the tiger sitting at the desk.
Taking it with a firm grip he said, "Yes, I am and you must be Lance. I was just reading over your qualifications, you are very qualified to work here. Now I have to ask you the same questions as everyone else but I want to let you know that you might just get this job."
Well the questions ran for an hour, I answered them to the best of my ability, and tried not answering negatively, in the end he said that there was a ninety percent chance that I'd get the job. When I came out Natalia was standing up waiting for me to come out with that piece of paper I had been writing on. I didn't expect anyone to read it.
"Since when were you a writer," she asked.
"I'm not, that's just a piece of crap I wrote out of boredom," I said.
Well to make a long story short I got a call later that day, and I was on a paycheck big enough to find a suitable apartment and to get some furniture. Also, that story I wrote ended up in a magazine the week after the interview, I didn't submit it so I assumed that Natalia did. It was then featured in a number of different magazines after that.
I feel like my luck has finally turned around. I have a great job with a good intelligent boss. Plus I have finally got clearance to move into the apartment. It isn't much to look at but it's a great place. I am planning on going shopping with Natalia for some furniture. The place is a little bare, I just want to brighten up the place, and at least with her being my friend she probably won't end up fucking my future girl friends, probably. I was looking forward to it and I had been thinking about it all day. The intercom buzzed and a familiar voice said, "Hey it's me, we need to talk."
"What do you want Linda," I asked.
"Come on just let me come on up, wait someone just opened the door," she said.
I locked the door but it didn't really matter she still came to my apartment door and said, "Oh come on honey open up the door. I was in a bad place and you weren't there."
"I was at work so of course I wasn't there, you cheating whore. I don't want to see or talk to you, or Nick either," I yelled firmly.
"Nick was just looking for a good time," she argued.
"Yeah, well I know he's always looking for tail and he doesn't care who it is. Just get out of my damn life I have had it with you. Get out of here now or I'm going to call the cops," I yelled picking up the phone.
Another voice sounded in a harsh growl, "You heard him you little bitch, get the hell out of here."
"Natalia, is that you," I asked.
"Yeah it's me and that little cheater left, so could you let me in," she asked.
I unlocked the door and let her in and said," Good thing you came along when you did. I can't believe she had the nerve to do that!"
"Yeah she seems rather skank-ish. Let's just go to the furniture store," she said heading to the elevator while I locked the door.
So we went to Jay B's furniture store. It was a nice little store that took custom orders so if you wanted something that they had in this catalogue they could get it. When we got there something in the back of my mind was asking, "Why is she being so nice to me and hanging out with me when I ask her?" It kept bugging me and I kept ignoring it but it just kept nagging at me to the point to where I couldn't think.
We were looking at a couch when I finally asked, "Why do you seem to want to be with me all of the time, not that I'm offended, but it just seems like you could be looking for someone."
"Because I love you," she said without really thinking, she covered her mouth when she realized what she said.
I had no idea what to say other than, "I didn't think you were interested in me like that. You are way out of my ball park."
"You know you really are an idiot, how could you not notice my interest," she asked.
I leaned forward to kiss her and then some sales guy came along and said, "Can I help you two find something?" There goes the moment I thought, I then said, "No we are just looking." He walked away and I offered her my paw, she took it quickly. The rest of the time we were walking around the store holding each other's hands. We didn't say anything the rest of the time, just enjoyed each other's company. Then I started getting panicky.
I kept dwelling on it until I blurted out, "I've got to go now, I just realized I forgot it's my sister's birthday!"
"Wait, what are you talking about," she said as I ran out of the door.
I promptly went back to my apartment and locked the door. I saw there was a message on my answering machine but I ignored it and I knew who it was from, I was too upset about how I left so abruptly and rudely. I picked up my phone and called my twin sisters, not that they'd answer or that I'd call them back if they didn't but I have to get out the city.
Their phone rang about 3 times when Shannon picked up, "Hello?"
"Hey, Shannon it's me Lance," I said kinda glad she picked up.
"Okay well why are you calling us after all of these years," she asked.
"Well I messed up again. This time I just need to get away for a couple of days get my thoughts straight," I said.
"Look now isn't such a good time moms over, and I know it wasn't your fault but Shelly and mom disagree. Sorry bro," she said.
"Okay, well, thanks anyway, happy birthday by the way," I said.
"Um, bro it isn't our birthday, yours is coming up in a few days, ours was last month," she said.
"Oh, well sorry I didn't call. Talk to you later," I said.
"Talk to you later Nick," she said, covering up who she was talking to as she hung up.
"Well, this is just my luck. I have to hide out in my apartment and avoid her till I get this all straight in my head," I said aloud.
I decided to play her message after all it said, "Hey Lance, look I want to talk about this afternoon, why did you just suddenly freak out after we were having such a good time together? Please call me I haven't felt about this way in a long time and you are really special to me, I hope you know that."
Well now I just feel like a total ass. I mean I just totally ran out of there babbling a bunch of bullshit about my sisters and it wasn't even their damn birthday. Hell it's just a few days off from mine. Has it been that long since I celebrated my birthday, so long that I've actually forgotten when my birthday when was. Damn my life has really gone to hell. I decided to call her; I really made myself look like an ass.
Her phone rang for about three times and she picked up, "Hey Lance what's up with you? I thought you felt the same way about me that I do about you."
"I do. It's just I never thought you viewed me in that way, and I don't deserve someone as special as you. Look I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, just, can we ignore that ever happened," I asked her.
"I don't understand but I won't pressure you to answer right away. We can talk later," she said.
"I feel for you too, but if you haven't noticed people tend to hate me in every way possible,' I said.
"Why are you so worried about that? All that matters is that we love each other. Why would you let the past affect what's happening now," she asked.
"Well the fact that you love me is making me nervous. Look you want to know what happened every day to me in high school," I asked.
*******************
Flash back ten years. An upper classmen Marble cat is walking outside of the school. A group of ten encircles him within seconds. They are all ranging from freshman to seniors. He stops, and tells the ring leader he doesn't want a fight. The ring leader, quarter back, and leader of the varsity high school football team, senior, steps forward and proceeds to punch him in the face. The cat falls on the concrete in a fetal position. They start kicking him repeatedly, the teachers see what is going on and don't stop it, some of them even join in. An hour later they come in and he slowly gets up and limps back home, to a neglecting mother and uncaring sisters.
******************
"... That's what I went through every day of my life in high school, and all of that ridicule has made me a little mistrusting of my own feelings," I finished
"Look I'm sorry that that your high school experience was horrible but it wasn't a picnic for me either, but I understand everyone handles it differently. So one thing I want to ask you is, are you going to keep doing that thing where you panic and run off spouting something about your sisters birthday?"
"No, and I haven't visited them much since I moved, or celebrated their birthdays since then. The birthday I was thinking of was apparently my own," I said.
After a brief pause she said "I want you to meet me out front of your building around 9 am tomorrow. Wear something red."
I said that was fine and we both said bye and hung up. I took a shower my arm against the wall and the water hitting my back, my head looking down at the floor tiles. It was really confusing, all of it. I still had her even after I ran away from her. I must be a lucky guy but I felt like a huge dick. It isn't fair, but then again who am I to judge what's fair? I went to bed confused, and in the morning I didn't feel any better.
I woke up early still didn't feel any better. I took some ibuprofen due to a major headache. I kept thinking of her and me being together. I couldn't even get away from it in my sleep. I kept dreaming every bad thing I could come up with. All in all they were very bad and very negative thoughts. I go dressed and I remembered to get a red article of clothing so I slipped on a red jacket.
I sat outside and waited on the bench right in front of the complex. I waited for about an hour just because I wanted to wait outside; it is such a great day who'd want to be inside? He car pulled up and I stood up and straightened out my Sports jacket and as she rolled down the window.
I leaned on the driver's side door and asked, "Hey pretty mama you looking for a good time?"
"You had to use the cheesiest line you could think of since you're wearing that coat didn't you," she asked.
"Aww come on Natty, I thought it was pretty good. So you like what you see," I asked.
Shrugging she said "I've seen much worse try to hit on me, is that all the red you own though?"
"Well let's get going. Oh by the way you look like you are the daughter of a god," I said getting into the passenger seat.
Looking down over her red knee length dress with gold embroidery and a pale platinum color purse sitting on her lap she said "Thanks, I fished it out of my closet after thinking of this place. Now, buckle up and try not to puke, we're cutting it close so I'm playing with the speed limit a bit."
Buckling my seat belt I said, "Okay I'm ready." As soon as I said that she took off. All I know was that she ran a few red lights and cut a few people off, but she definitely was a speed demon. We arrived near nine fifteen and parked the car in the first available spot.
I was slightly dizzy when I said, "Remind me to never tell you we're late."
Walking around the car and putting her arm through mine she said "Possibly, maybe I'll just make sure you drive from now on if it bugs you so." Smiling for a second she kissed me on the cheek before leading me to the door by my arm.
"Hey kiss me again," I said, "but this time, kiss me on the lips."
Smiling at me she said "Oh, but that would spoil the fun, you'll see."
Well she was so damn convincing I reluctantly said fine. Inside it looked like an exclusive club my mom used to talk about, when dad and her were here last. The tables had red satin on all of the tables and all of the chairs looked like those thrones you usually see in those old kingdom movies. We were seated at a table for two and the lights were on low and the windows were completely covered with black paint and a candle was in the center of the table. I was too nervous to say anything so I sat there with my paws in my lap.
"What do you think? Dad owned part of it so the theme somehow ended up based on something I said when I was four and he took me to one of their meetings," she said.
"Well it is rather extravagant, I don't think I would have been able to afford to go to a restaurant like this in my natural born days. My parents came here once, they think it was they night the conceived me," I said as I noticed some of the others in there were looking at me like I didn't belong here, "um I think I don't belong here I'm just going to..."
Grabbing my by the arm and forcing me back down she looked at me and said "Listen, I know you have a shitty past, but you can't keep running from a good thing! If you're uncomfortable then just talk to me, don't think about where we are, and enjoy this birthday present."
"Wait, did I tell you it was my birthday," I asked.
"Yes, you did." she responded in a repressed joyous tone.
"I really can't remember that, oh right did I leave my ID at your place last time we hung out," I asked.
"We were on the phone, you told me that what you thought was your sister's birthday was actually the impending arrival of your own, in different words, and I wanted to use impending without the word doom," she said.
"Yeah I remember that, kind of embarrassing really. They are pretty good people, though they don't call me on my birthday," I said in a sad tone
"Well, they may not call you on your birthday but I can be there for you, this year and next, and all others for the rest of the time in this world," she said.
"Yeah that's true," I said putting my paw on hers accidently, lost in thought.
Grabbing my paw she pulled me closer across the table and said "Now, I'll give you what you asked for on the parking lot." Kissing me deeply I lost all other thoughts and just fell more in love with her.
When the kiss broke up I said, "Wow that was great. I'm glad you made me stay here, I couldn't think of a better day than being with you."
The rest of breakfast was awesome. We had so much in common and after a while I quit worrying about not fitting in. When we were done we went outside and kissed her I was really glad we came here. She left and then these two guys came along right after she did.
"Yo, give me your money rich boy," the tall panther said.
"I don't have any I swear," I said scared.
"I don't believe you," the second one said, grabbing me by the shirt.
"Yeah," the other said reaching into my back pocket.
The checked my wallet all I had was ten dollars on me, "Man are you telling us this is all you fucking have! Let's waste this bitch!"
In a matter of seconds I was on the ground with six stab wounds and the world was getting dark, then I saw her and said, "I'm sorry, I love you. If I d... die... don't te... tell my m... mom."
I could barely feel myself being picked up and being set in the front seat of the car. My vision was fading, and fast. My breathing was getting shallow. I tried telling her to forget about me but the words wouldn't come. Instead I ended up puking on the floor. Then a little bit after that I passed out.
*****************
Later that night...
I awoke to the sound of a beeping. I looked over to the left and there was a heart monitor. Where was I, I was in a restaurant with Natty not a hospital. I need to get out of here. I tried sitting up but there was a hand that shoved me back onto the bed.
"Don't even consider sitting up honey. You've got stitches, and if you move you'll tear them, you barely survived in the first place, I don't want to risk losing you again." Her face, so much sorrow at my pain, I didn't deserve someone this kind.
"I'm sorry," I said, "I don't deserve you."
"Well you're certainly not getting rid of me." she said with a cheery smile. "I've paid your bills and arranged for you to be unable to let yourself out."
"Why do you try so hard to keep me when the rest of the world condemns me," I asked, "I like it but it just doesn't make sense."
"Because you've suffered so much, somewhere there is a pearl within you waiting to be uncovered, all of the pain, the anger, and the hopelessness has merely made that pearl more beautiful," she said.
"I've looked and I can't seem to find it, but you must see something in me. I'd give you a kiss but I'm not supposed to get up," I said.
Leaning down she gave me another absolute amazing kiss. Crap, I think I'm passing ou...
************
The next week...
The rest of the week she came and visited me every single day, we had a really good time hanging out and I loved every minute of it. She always came in with a smile on her face. I loved her more and more each day. I can't believe how lucky I was. I was sitting in a wheel chair and she was signing the papers.
After she was done I got out of the chair and said, "Well I guess I'll see you later."
Putting her hand on my shoulder she said "If you think I'm letting you out of my sight again anytime soon, then you're certainly still high from the painkillers." Pushing me back down in the chair she started pushing it. "I'm taking you back to my place for now; you're still on sick leave from work."
"Well if you insist," I said somewhat happily.
Grabbing the chair and wheeling me through the doors she put me in her car and took herself around to the driver side door. Barely awake I said "Don't kill me from speeding," before the drugs made me fall asleep again.
******
I woke up in the chair, in her living room in front of the purple overstuffed, l shape sofa, with a forty six inch T.V. across the room, which was new. It was off and nothing was going on. I slowly got up and heard someone talking. I walked into the kitchen and say Natty talking on her cell phone.
"...I know, mom," a pause before she continues and says, "I don't fucking care at this point mom, you're blaming me for not being as fucking pretty as you, it's so fucking stupid, if you wanted a daughter that would be as pretty as you why the hell did you marry dad!" After another pause she said "You're fucking drunk mom, dad was coming back for my birthday." After another pause she said "No I don't fucking blame you, I blame that high pilot he hired." After another pause she says "Mom, Fuck off, go see your counselor, fuck him if you want." And with that she broke her cell-phone trying to close it.
"Family troubles, I know how that is, you want to talk about it," I asked.
Looking at me she had a brief look of sorrow upon her face before she smiled and said "No, just my mom was drunk, again. She does this for a month or so every year when dad's death gets close."
"Ah, well I've been there too. So what was that thing about you not being as pretty as her all about then," I asked.
"My mom is a model, she never thought I was pretty enough and I didn't care about being a gorgeous prissy bitch, I took dad's offer of schooling instead, which she thought was wrong."
"Wait, what is her name," I asked after noticing that she looked familiar.
"My mother kept her maiden name since she was known by it already; you would know her as Laurene Calaskca."
"Oh yeah, I remember her I used to jer... how about that weather it's something else, huh," I said after she gave me a look.
"If you ever do that again to my mother's picture I'll burn whatever you're looking at after gluing it to you. Now, if you want to get off to Jillian Belle, then let me join you, she's cute, I certainly appreciated her curves, my fingers agreed." She said while grinning mischievously.
I couldn't believe my ears, so I asked, "Wait are you bi?"
Smiling still she said "Maybe you'll find out some day, I could introduce the two of you, Jillian that is, I'll stay away from mom as long as I live."
"Um, no thanks, I have had a bad experience when it came to more than one person," I said timidly.
"Hey, it's late, so how about we get some food and go to bed," she asked.
Well I was kinda tired so I said that's fine, and so we got something simple. I was heading to the room I stayed in when I here last but she put her hand on my shoulder and turned me towards her room. When I entered her room I was reminded of my sisters' room, pink and fluffy. Her bed looked like it had over three feet of fluff. Grabbing me by arm she pulled me to her bed and pushed me onto it. I then adjusted myself so I was under a few of these blankets, and then she crawled in with me, a couple blanket layers different, completely naked.
"Look, I know that sometimes sleeping in the same bed causes other things to happen and I am just not ready for that kind of relationship," I said.
"I'm not that easy, it's easier to watch over you if we're in the same bed. I haven't let a guy in my pants before and I'm not about to now with no rings involved." She said while getting comfortable.
"Right well that's fine I just didn't want it to go anywhere. Well good night," I said kissing her on the lips real quick.
"Good night." She said after breaking the kiss and putting her head on a pillow.
I fell asleep quickly due to a combination of medication and physical exertion. I had a weird dream about the life I've fallen into, it was a good dream. I woke up at around seven thirty and her arms were wrapped around me. What the hell is she doing snuggling up against me. I tried asking her to let me go, but she was solidly asleep and just snuggled closer to me. Then I tried to wake her up by tickling her that didn't work, and just got closer to me.
Waking up finally half an hour later she said "'ood Morning, are we closer than when we went to bed?"
"Yeah I'd say we are considering the fact that we are now keeping each other warm with our own body heat," I said turning around in to kiss her.
Kissing me deeply in return she got out of bed and headed to the shower, turning around she said "If you need any help washing, just ask," and smiled at me widely.
"Yeah sure I'll need some help, want me to help you as well," I said in a slightly chipper voice.
Walking into the bathroom and leaving the door open she yelled out, "Well, what are you waiting for?"
Stripping off my shorts I ran in after her licking her on the neck, saying, "Let's have some fun!"
Shuddering at the lick and laughing she grabbed me and kissed me again while back slowly closer to the tub and turning on the water with her tail before stepping in. Breaking the kiss she turned and messed with the handles for hot and cold before switching it to a shower. "Step along, the water is excellent," she said with a smile.
"Yes, well the view is excellent too," I said while leaning in to kiss her shoulder up to her neck then finished in a lick.
Purring she returned the favor and kneaded the water into my shoulders. Putting her claws out a little she ran them lightly over my skin a through my fur, seductively, tantalizingly, and beautifully pleasurable. "I've learned a few things since I've decided on no sex until marriage, do you enjoy them?"
"Yeah I do," I said in a state of unrivaled pleasure, I returned the favor by reaching behind my back and started to scratch her hips sensually.
Purring loudly she bit my neck lightly and moved her hand down, slowly circling around my back, tracing my markings before she nearly sent me over the edge when she circled around to the front and traced just above my nethers. Moving her hands lightly over my hips she dragged her claws across my butt just hard enough to not break the skin but still hard enough to send electricity through my body.
I turned around and put one hand on a supple breast of hers and moved my head moved over to her other and I started to lick and suckle like a kit. I moved my other paw slowly and tantalizingly down her back, ending in a firm tease to the ass.
Taking her hands off me I felt her lean into my attention to her breasts and shudder slightly. Her back arched sharply and her voice pitched higher than I ever heard. Collapsing against me she said "Do more of that... I'll be certain to return the favor." Grinning at me she moved her hands close to my nethers and quickly ran her nails along my length in such a way that I quickly joined her in bliss.
We were both lying on the floor of the shower and getting wetter. I recovered first and moved between her legs and lined her inner thighs before putting my rough tongue onto her aroused sex. I could taste her juices from her last orgasm. I kept licking outside for about five minutes and she was moaning and her purring was getting louder and louder, and she placed her hands on my head locking me inplace. Before I finally penetrated her vagina I licked her love button and dove right in and licked furiously.
"Oooh daaamn..." she said while putting one hand on my head and one above her slit. Moving her hand on her clit she maneuvered herself so that I never lost access and so she could put her that was on my head on my shaft. As she arched her back and her breathing sped up I felt myself getting closer and closer. The position change put the water pounding closer to my lower back and started hitting my tail, I never knew it was that sensitive before.
Dropping to the bottom of the tub with a small wet thump, her breathing slowing once more, her body twitching slightly while her hand still moved. "Okay, that was far more impressive than any guy ever before." Finishing me off with a smile she sat up and said "Lets clean up, and then I want you to talk." We covered each other's pelts in soap and then helped the other rinse it out of their fur. There was petting, just not as much as there was before. After that we helped the other dry off and got dressed I was wearing a tightly fitting t-shirt and shorts, she was wearing a revealing top, and short skirt. We then sat on the overstuffed purple couch looking at each other and holding each other.
Dropping on to her huge sofa she looked at me and said "Alright, where did you learn to do that?"
"I'm sorry what do you mean? It was just my first time, I was horrible," I said.
Laughing she said "As a few guys I've known have said, 'Bullshit!', you hit my g spot perfectly, someone taught you to do that, I want to know who so I can thank her." Looking up at me she got a twinkle in her eyes and asked "Is there more than one reason why your sisters don't talk with you?"
"Well not really I love my sisters. They are both in love with each other, so I guess I'm mad at the sister who won't talk to me because I've held my tongue since I knew about what they were, hell I knew before they both did. They were good at sneaking around mom's back but they decided to teach me a few things about oral sex on a woman. So if that's what you wanted to know there it is," I said, almost as soon as I finished answering Natty my cell phone went off.
As soon as I answered my phone and put it to me ear I heard, "Did you know?"
"Um, hello, who is this and did I know what," I asked.
"It's your mom you stupid twit. Did you know your sisters were lesbians and incestuous," she asked.
"Mom if you didn't know then you are stupid, they always had that look in their eyes that showed how much they loved each other. It really wasn't hidden that deep," I said.
"Bull fucking shit, you knew and didn't tell them," she started to say when I interrupted.
"Look ma I'm with my girlfriend and were having some quality time, alright. By the way I still believe in god and dad's death was a fucking accident get over yourself, maybe find a way to be a civilized person for once, once you do that, then call me then you wrinkled old bitch," I said, hanging up the phone.
"Well, that was unexpected to say the least..." She said looking up at me for a second before sitting up. "If you need to talk, then do, I'll be here, and if your sisters want a place to stay, then give me the phone."
"Yeah, they are in collage, what they would need would be money because I'm sure my mother has cut the funding already. I'll call them really quick," I said dialing the phone for their dorm.
This time it was Shelly who answered, "Hello?"
"Hey Shelly it's me your big bro, I just got a call from mom. She found out huh," I asked, putting it on speaker.
"Yeah she walked in on us it's time for our heat and we couldn't hold back any more. She must have heard Shannon moaning through the ball gag," she said.
Looking at me closely Natty motioned for the phone and pointed to the clock while miming 3 minutes. "Look, Shelly, if you need some help we could help you two out. My girlfriend works as a top level executive and could afford to help you two out. I know how mom can be a bitch sometimes and likely already cancelled payment to your school. Also I want you two to come up here and meet her," I said.
"I'd love to meet you two, you seem very interesting, I certainly could care less about what you do in the bedroom, money changes things honey, bring your sister, let's have a girls chat, there's a 120k check in it."
"Ok well be there first thing tomorrow morning," she said.
"Looking forward to it sis," I said and turned off the phone, turning to Natty I said, "Do you really mean to give them that much?"
Laughing she said "Nope, I'm going to give them each that much, signed off as corporate expenses to hire them as student interns, completely legal and I'll just end up paying to help them move."
I was so overjoyed that I ran as fast as could to give her a hug then started nuzzling her neck and said, "I love you all the more each day, and I realize you are a better person each and every day, there must be something I can do to thank you."
Grinning mischievously at me she grabbed a towel from the kitchen and while walking back to the couch she stepped out of her skirt and panties, throwing the towel across the cushion and dropping on it she said "I'd rather not stain my comfy coach, but you're going to do that from the shower again."
