#3 of Public Enemies


Hello everyone and welcome to the second part of my new series Public Enemies! Sorry I didn't upload this sooner but recently I've been going to alot of colleges and checking out classes. So I've been busy the last week but don't think I've forgotten you! Anyway Enjoy and don't feel afraid to comment your opinions below!

(Jamie's view)

I have no idea why this young man just suddenly said such a corny and blunt compliment towards me but I-kinda liked it. I blushed underneath my orange fur and was taken aback by this forward compliment I was almost certain I was hearing wrong

"Umm excuse me?" I asked him making sure I was hearing right

This strange but yet-kinda cute looking young man seemed taken aback by my response that he stuttered his words.

"Oh! Umm-I...umm I just....I thought maybe...umm....you know what I'm sorry I-I can't talk to beautiful women-I MEAN- Oh man." The man said embarrassed and looked a bit humuliated, as he put his hand on his forehead.

I smiled and giggled at the young man's embarrassment, I don't think he realized he gave me a compliment in that last line.

"I'm Beautiful huh?" I asked putting my elbow on the table and looking at his sweet eyes and red face.

"Y-Y-Yeah....I'm sorry...I shouldn't have-I'll leave" The man said turning his back and taking the first step away.

I got up and touched his shoulder...Oh my! It was so stiff and strong! Who was this handsome man? I think I'm kinda lucky that he would give me such lovely words even though I just met him.

"Were you trying to ask me to dance with you?" I asked as he turned and looked at me still flushed by before.

"Y-Yeah but-"

"What?"

"I don't know how." He said looking at the dance floor that was crowded with people and hanging his head in shame.

This young man was very cute...almost like he was a little boy.....even for a human. My tail swong about at the sudden change of music as it changed into a slow dance song.

"Here, come with me" I said grabbing his hand and leading him to the dance floor.

It was pretty crowded but we found a spot in just about the center of the stage and I looked back at him. He was still embarrassed about this but I can tell he wanted to dance with me. My fur tingled at the fun we were going to have.

"Here, grabbed my hand like this and put the other around my back." I said placing his hand into mine and felt his other hand nearly to my neck.

I giggled at how wrong he was holding me. I moved his hand lower until it was just above my tail that was swinging about.

"Its okay don't feel afraid to touch me so low...its how were suppose to dance" I said rocking side to side slightly and he followed.

His eyes were wide open and looking into mine as if ready to learn something new. Still I think a slow dance would be enough...nothing to major to strain his abilities.

"So what's your name? Handsome human" I said with a teasing smile...I admit I was kinda having fun with him.

"Umm Ralphy....but everyone calls me Ralph for short." He said in his sweet voice.

I giggled at the little boy like name he had but it truthfully fit him...nervous to ask girls to dances, blunt compliments, and not knowing how to dance even though asking me to one but almost chickening out when I asked him why.....he just seems so......sweet, kind, and innocent.

"Hmm Ralph...you can call me Jamie.....Jamie Anderson" I said leading the dance which was awkward in most dances but I didn't mind...this was my second dance though.

"Wow...Jamie....that's such a beautiful name....I'm sorry if I'm not giving you a good dance I-" Ralph said before I interupted him.

"Your doing fine...besides this is my second dance I've ever done anyway...and your doing alot better then the other guy" I said giggling softly.

"Really? Thanks." Ralph said relaxing his eyes and obviously getting into the slow music filling the mood and atmosphere.

I also relaxed my eyes and for a second dozed off in his embrace. I literally put my face into his chest and...WOW! He was so tough! I could feel his abs and heat from here! Even though he was wearing a thick business coat! He must be a model or famous or something!

"So...what do you do? For a job I mean?" I asked still moving to the music while my eyes were nearly drifting to sleep.

"........banking...." He said thinking for a moment.

"Oh? Must be tough at times like these......I mean with the economy being so bad and with cut backs and stuff...and not mention the dangerous robbers now!....so what do you do specifically in the banking business?" I asked opening my eyes and my ears perked up for his answer.

"....I move the money from one place to another....you know like a guard?" Ralph said gently petting my back fur.

I purred at the amazing feeling as his hands gently and smoothly went into my fur.

"Hmm...that explains the how tough and stiff your body is...I can feel your pecs even behind this coat" I said burying my muzzle into his coat.

"Umm....thanks.....that was quite the compliment yourself." Ralph said giving a small smile.

My tail perked as did my ears as what I said.....what was I saying?! He's a human! There's no way he could fall for me! But he complimented me first! I-well.....it was still nice of him to be kind to me while others would have insulted me and demanded to dance with him.

Humans always seem to be above furries......relationships between them are looked down upon by humans while furries think it was a gift from god......but their so uncommon....I doubt I'm that lucky to be with a human like Ralph!

(Ralph's view)

I can't believe where I was! I was holding the most beautiful women I have ever seen and I'm dancing with her with one of my favorite slow songs! And better yet she buried her beautiful muzzle into my chest....ohh this feeling gave me goosebumps!

I noticed out of the corner of my eye I saw Henry again dancing with the same female bull but he was looking at me too amazed to see me dancing with a girl...a fox no less. I moved my head towards the bar and I saw Johnny and Caleb raising their glasses to me and were clearing drunk with both fun and booze.

Sadly the song came to an end and we stopped our dancing. I looked down at her and she slowly raised her head to look at me. I was a bit taller then her but I couldn't care...she seemed perfect.....she was the very reason why I love...why I dream of love...and she was right here in my arms and embracing me.

We both seemed lost and in a trance as she moved her muzzle up to me and I lowered my lips down to her...I think we were about an inch away from our kiss until-

"Jamie! Sorry girl but we have to call it a night!" One of her tiger friends shouted from across the room.

We both pulled back our faces and blushed at what we were about to do.....I turned my head looking away at her and she did the same...it took us a moment before we realized we were still holding each other. We both in unison released each other and began to look away at the awkward moment.

"Well...umm...thanks I had fun....I guess...goodbye." Jamie said turning away and going to her friends.

I suddenly grabbed her arm and looked at her beautiful eyes again....god I could stare into them forever and get lost into them. Her eyes were indeed the color of the blue ocean and I felt sweeped away like I was in a current or something. I didn't want this to be a one night thing....I wanted more.....I loved this feeling! Say it stupid! Say it!

"Can we meet again? Can we meet here again?" I asked hoping for a yes.

There was a silence between us despite the noise and movement of the continued party around us. I just met Jamie but I know I wanted more of her....in fact....if she wants too....when I move away to Paris or Italy I want her to come with...please...

"Sure....you seem like a nice guy and I would love to meet you again" She said with a smile and I felt like I was in heaven for a moment.

I let go of her arm and waved goodbye. I then went back to my table and touched my heart, it was beating so loudly! My heart felt like it was on fire and I was melting in front of her.....everything about her is so-perfect! I needed her I wished we didn't have to wait another day to met I wish-

I then noticed something on her table.

(Jamie's view)

I was in the car and heading home....my friends were all chatting about and I tried my best to keep up but....my mind was fixed on Ralph....wow was he such a stud! But what bothers me most is that I swear I've seen him before! But I can't remember where!

We stopped at a stoplight and I noticed a furry couple walking together and holding hands....there was a mud puddle between them and the male took off his coat and threw it over the puddle and made sure the woman could cross it so she didn't have to get her shoes dirty.

I'm sure Ralph would do the same for me...even though I just met him there was that certain....feeling about him...it screamed 'I'm a nice guy and I want you to be mine' and I would be more then happy to accept. I also can't believe he asked me to meet him again! I-I-I feel like the luckiest girl in the world right now!

"Hey Jamie what are you dreaming about?" My tiger friend driving asked with a cat like grin on her face.

"Probably about that human you were dancing with huh?" My panther friend teased

"Oh my human please protect me with your sweet muscular arms" My other tiger friend said embracing the panther to tease me further.

"Shut up! It was just a nice dance! That's all!" I said blushing and embarrassed.

I hope that's not all it was.

"Hey if she's into humans that's fine by me but I'm warning you Jamie! He's sweet now but sooner or later you'll find out he's evil or has a mysterious past...trust me...all humans do." My friend driving said looking back at me through the window.

"Yeah I know" I said hardly paying attention and looking at the bright lights of the city again.

Ralph didn't seem that type...he was to innocent to do something mean....he was like a kid....and I love kids. Oh his hair and eyes.....so dark...so perfect and smooth! A handsome figure like him better get himself a girl quick! And if no one else takes the position I guess its up to me!

Ralph's type get eaten up quick in the dating game. Girls always seem to be attracted to guys how are sweet innocent and caring, but they also need to be tough and handsome or cute.....I think Ralph as all those attributes! So i guess I better take him while I can! I really owe miss Swanson for forcing me to get out....I think I met one of the best men in my life! I can't wait to tell her-wait.....

Oh no not her.....if I tell her that she'll be all over me.....and not in the civil way....she'll probably say things like 'Well why are you here at home?! You got a man right! Go get him and have some kids!' She would say always caring about my future.....she was a sweet old fox.....she justs wants me to be happy and like I said....I really owe her for this one!

After a few more minutes of driving we arrived back to my house and I walked back into my apartment. I saw Miss Swanson by a table looking at a few letters.....but that can't be good.....she doesn't get many letters now except for...oh no...

I walked over to her and she seemed pale and sad. I cuddled her and looked at the letter.....it was a bill......we were behind on payments by $500...we could never pay back that kind of money....except maybe....

"Miss Swanson...if we need to....we can use my savings." I said looking at the bill hoping for it to change to a lower price somehow.

"No...No girl...you here me! I'm not going to throw away your savings because of my foolishness! I'll-I'll use less electricity! I'll cut back on meals and we'll sell some of my worthless antiques! Don't worry! I'm getting old dear....I don't have long anyway." She said embracing me her eyes almost looking ready to cry.

"Please don't talk like that Miss Swanson.....I want you around for as long as possible.." I said faintly meaning every word.

I felt so bad for her....Miss Swanson was suppose to be married to a rich furry but he stood her up at the wedding....she was heartbroken and wasn't left with much except her memories of the past.....I think she wants me to have the experience she never got.....to get married and have children......I wanted her to feel better....and I think I know how to do it.

"Hey cheer up Miss Swanson....you'll never guess what I did in the club!" I said smiling at her.

"What Jamie?" She asked looking at me curious to know

"I danced with a nice and handsome man today...and he asked me to meet him again" I said smiling.

Miss Swansons eyes lit up and she had he breath taken away....her tail was fluttering around in ways I haven't seen in years...she was happy I could tell....This was the first time in awhile I was with a man and this was the first time one of them asked me to meet them again....but how would she react when she would find out Ralph was a human?

"Oh! I'm so happy for you! What's he like? He's handsome and nice you say?! Oh that's wonderful! What is he? A proud lion? Or maybe a cool panther! Or maybe another fox?" she asked nearly jumping in joy.

"Well the thing is he-" I said before the doorbell rang.

"Oh who could that be at this hour?" She asked stopping her excitment for a second.

"I'll get it Miss Swanson, its probably one of my friends who forgot something" I said waving at Miss Swanson to continue her joy.

I went over to the door and there was another set of doorbell rings and knocks.

"I'm coming!" I said thinking it was one of my friends.

I went to the door and twisted the handle. I swong it open and saw-

"Ralph?!" I said in amazement.

"Hey Jamie." He said softly giving me another one of his sweet smiles.

I felt the rush of passion take over me again....what was he doing here?...it almost feels like one of those movies when the lovers are always drawn to one another no matter the distance between them. I waited for a second thinking any second he could maybe kiss me and background music would play a romantic song and an audience would clap and cheer at the passionate moment.

But I knew that was fantasy...but I still hoped for the best.....but how did he find me?....this apartment looked like any other in the city and we were quite a way from the club....did he follow me?....kinda creepy if he did.....But I swear that no cars were following us when my friends dropped me off! How did he get here?!

"Umm Ralph how did you know where I live?" I asked still a bit shocked at his presense.

"Oh! umm..sorry! It's just that you left your purse at the club and I wanted to return it to you but you were gone when I went outside so I used your ID card to find your adress and find where you live...sorry....I didn't want this to be that creepy" he said handing me the purse and scratching the back of his head in awkwardness.

I felt so embarrassed when he told me I left my purse at the club! I felt like such an idiot! Any theif would have taken what little money we have left and ran off...but not Ralph! Oh no! He's a good man! I can tell...he's definatly the sweet type and very caring....You know...how bad could it be to date a human? I mean its not like-

"Jamie? Who's at the door?" Miss Swanson asked from in the kitchen still dancing in joy at the news before.

"Oh! Umm its-" I said hoping to stop her from looking at Ralph but to late.

She spotted Ralph and her eyes were still wide open...but her smile went away....her dancing and energy seemed to fade....oh no this will not end well. Miss Swanson took a few steps closer to us still amazed to see a human at her door. Ralph looked at me and her, he seemed a bit frightened at what she might do.

"Jamie?....who is this?" she said hardly changing her blank expression.

"Umm Ralph, Miss Swanson...I met him at the club" I said bracing myself for the worst

Miss Swanson was right in front of Ralph now giving a studying look at him, as if judging him.

"So he's the one you danced with? And asked you to meet him again?" She said never taking her eyes off Ralphy.

I was shaking but I knew there was no use lying right now.

"Yes....I danced with a human Miss Swanson" I said hanging my head in shame ready for the lectures and nagging she would no doubt give me.

"Whats he doing here?" She said still looking at Ralph who was clearly a bit creeped out at her stare.

"I-I was just going to give her purse back.Umm! She forgot it at the club." He said nervous

"Ohh? Why didn't you just take it and ran off?" She asked a small smile on her face...but it seemed...evil

"I could never steal from her Mam! I just wanted to do a small act of kindness.....I-I'll leave and go to my hotel room if you want me too" He said stepping outside.

"You just wait right outside while I have a talk with Jamie young man!" She said almost demanding.

Ralph frooze in place and nodded his head to the demand. Miss Swanson closed the door and locked it...Oh god what was she going to do to me?!

"You never told me you danced with a human" She said into the door but the words were meant for me.

"I-I was going to but-" I said before.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE WAS SO HANDSOME AND A HUMAN?!?!" She said jumping in joy again

"Wh-What?" I said in disbelief

"Oh he's such a handsome lad! Those eyes and hair said he takes good care of himself and could easily take care of a good woman! He had such an tough and imposing stance to him meaning he could fight off any theives or creeps who tried to have their way with you but yet he had such a kind sweet voice and was delievering your lost purse to you as a way to show he cares about you! Oh my Jamie you know how to get the good ones!" She said hugging me and jumping while her tail and ears were both up in the air in happiness.

"Y-Yeah I admit he is kinda cute" I said embarrassed that Miss Swanson put my feelings and thoughts about Ralph in a way I could not.

"Kinda cute?! Are you kidding?! He's drop dead gorgeous!! Look at him! Oh is he a model or actor or something?!" She asked excited for my response.

"He works at the banks as a guard...he transports the money I think."

"Oh well thats okay then! Hmm he should try to find a different job! One that suits him more! He should-" Miss Swanson said until she slowly turned towards me with a dirty smile.

"He should be a model....an underwear model....and you'll collect all his photos!" She said giggling.

"M-Miss Swanson!I-I can't believe you just said that!" I said blushing like crazy underneath my fur.....how did she know my deepest thoughts?

"Wait! He said he was going back to his hotel room right?! Oh deary he must want you to come with him!" She said her eyes in awe of me.

"W-W-What are you saying Miss Swanson?!?!" I said taken aback and nearly fell over...was she suggesting....that Ralph wants to-?!?!

"Oh look at you dear! Beautiful and in your prime! He wants you! He wants....alittle fun with you" Miss Swanson said giggling at my luck.

"M-M-M" I was speechless and my words couldn't form.

Have sex.....with Ralphy?! But I just met him! I couldn't go that fast...right? Before I knew it Miss Swanson was behind me and pushing me out the door.

"She's all yours Ralph!" She said shutting the door behind her and locking it.

I clawed at the door for a second to get back in before I noticed Ralph was looking at me confused at why I was clawing the door to get back in.

"Umm...can I sleep in your hotel room tonight?" I asked embarrassed and looking away.

"Aaahh sure....its a little far walk if your up to it" He said also embarrassed at the moment.

(Ralph's view)

I walked outside with Jamie at my side still with her dress on and still looking as beautiful as ever. We walked many blocks without so much as a single car passing us until we reached a mud puddle. Without second thought I took off my jacket and placed it over the puddle and lead Jamie through it.

She blushed at the gesture but I had no desire to pick up that jacket again....Jamie asked me if I was alright with parting with it and I said I had many more. She also seemed like in a trance after we walked through that mud puddle...as if....she knew it was going to happen or something.

Our talks to the hotel were brief to say the least....the weather here....what they thought of the city there...politics and blah blah blah! She seemed reluctant to share anything of her past though and I admit...so was I...maybe with time I will tell he but now...it just didn't feel right.

We finally arrived at the Shemlocks hotel that was very fancy and decorative and Jamie was in wonder of the royalty like carpet and decorations in the main lounge. I took her hand and the humans around us gave us surprised looks...mostly at me....the furries though were giving Jamie a nod here and there for some reason.

We reached the front table and checked in.

"Umm room 317? Todd Hendrickson." I said softly to the man at the table. Lying about my name.....we had to in order to avoid the cops

"Ah yes! Here you go!" He said going to the keys storage and grabbing my key.

"Thanks" I said briefly.

We went up the elevator which also amazed Jamie....I was happy to see her like a child in a candy shop saying free candy. We reached our floor and headed to our room. I opened it and saw how neat and orderly it was....looks like I got a room to myself at least!

Jamie was again in awe of the room and immediatly laid down on the bed that was a king sized matress and she was bouncing on it slightly.

"Wow Ralphy! I can't believe you can afford to live in a place like this! she said bouncing on the bed but sitting on it.

"Yeah it's one of the perks of being a banker guard" I said throwing my items in my pockets on a nearby table.

I smiled at how energitic she was and felt like joining her...so I decided to. I was right at the bed and ready to join until the bathroom door opened and I saw Kelly with a girl who was dressed but not very neatly...Kelly himself was wearing only his boxers and a t shirt.

He looked at us for a second and couldn't believe his eyes for second....I'm sure we didn't look like in the fun position now. Jamie was sitting on the bed still and was looking right at Kelly and confused to see him there. I was right next to Jamie bending down a bit and had one hand on the bed....it probably looked like we were going to have sex soon.

"Excuse me" Kelly said leaving the room and shutting the door respecting my privacy....but not my secresy.

This will end badly know...had to think of lies quickly!

"Ralphy?...who was that?" She asked completely confused.

"Oh! Umm thats Kelly...he's a guard I work with and we share this room with our money....sorry I didn't tell you." I said looking down hoping to end the lies there.

Somehow.....the lies weren't coming out of me like they use to....like I almost couldn't in front of Jamie....when I did...my heart ached like it was going to burst or stop...my head throbbed like my mind was trying to bust out of my skull and run for it...my tongue also seemed on fire like I drank acid or something...it also seemed flabby.....what was wrong with me?!?!

"Strange.....I thought maybe he was Todd Hendrickson" She said refering to my lie before and know a small glared covered the once happy and carefree face I loved to see on her.

"You heard that?" I said nearly panicking

"I'm a fox...my ears can hear just about anything" Jamie said still glaring at me

"I-I-I can explain-" I said my mind trying my best to think of an excuse to get out of this.

"But what bothers me most is that I swear I've heard your names before and that you look a little familar too! Ralphy...Kelly.....I swear I know this......I've heard both of your names before." Jamie said confused and frustrated at her memory

I bit my tongue and knew the jigg was up.

"Wait just a second" I said touching her leg for a second and heading over to another table. I opened a cabinet it had and found a local paper and skipped throught the pages to find what I was looking for...I found it. Jamie was looking at me with a curious face wondering what I was doing.

I went over to my suitcase and pulled out my hat I used in robberies to help hide my identity and I put it on and looked at Jamie again. I went over to her and handed the thing I tore out of the paper.....a wanted picture of me with my hat on that was photographed by a photographer named....Jarad I think....he seemed nice enough a guy I suppose.

She looked at it for a second confused at what it should mean until she looked back up at me.....she looked at the picture again and me again...going back and forth between them her eyes wide and her tail spooked.....God this will be bad...

"Your..Your-"

"I'm Butcher Knife Ralphy.....I rob banks.....what do you do?"

Woot my second part is completed! I hoped you liked it! Will this lead to disaster for Jamie and Ralph? Can she love not only a human but a famous wanted criminal? Find out in the next part of Public Enemies! PS don't worry I will tell everyone their pasts when it comes to it! See you all later!
