🐱 Chapter 9. Ratchet

Dino frowned. "Why do you need to talk to Ratchet?" He asked. "Just something small..." I murmured. "He's not at the base right now... is it urgent?" He asked.  Forced a smile on my face. "No, it's not... let's forget about it..." I said and waved my hand. Dino wasn't fully convinced. "Are you sure? I can call him if you'd like—"

"No, it's okay, Dino..."
The mech nodded slightly and gestured to me to follow him. I already felt slightly better. Dino always knows how to make me feel better. We headed towards his room and I had admit, I am pretty tired from today events.
Dino pushed open the door to his room. "Ladies first..." he said with a charming and sexy smile. "Thanks..." I mumbled.

I settled with Dino on the small sofa he had. "You can't talk to your mom?" He asked. I shook my head. "She's going to be mad at me... again," I whispered. Dino sighed softly and scooted closer towards me. "I'd be rather here, but she doesn't allow me to work anymore..." I sighed. Dino gave me a sympathetic look.

"Is there anything I can do?"

I shrugged and looked down. "No, I think not. I mean... she threatened you last time..." I numbered. Dino pulled me in a hug and sighed. "You deserve better..." he mumbled. I gave a weak smile. "You look tired... get some sleep..." he said. "I need to be home before my mom discovers I am gone..." I murmured. He nodded and got up, "don't worry... I'll wake you up in time!" He murmured. I nodded and made myself ready for bed.

I was a little nervous because I was afraid Mirage would notice something was off but he didn't. I quickly laid down in his bed and curled up. I didn't want to fall asleep until I was sure he was asleep first. Out of respect he laid on the couch and seemed to be fine with that. "Good night, Dino..." I mumbled. He  and curled up, trying to get comfy.

The next morning, Dino woke me up gently. I groaned a little but turned. "We need to get up... or you need to get up..." he said. It was raining outside and the wind was slamming against the window. Even the room felt cold and I didn't want to get up. It's too cold.

I had the strong urge to curl up against him and purr. "Come on, you asked me to wake you up, didn't you?" He asked. I groaned and sat up straight. "It's cold..." I complained. He laughed a little, "you know... we didn't had to get up yet but your mom is going to murder us both..."

"Ugh! She's just ruining my life..." I muttered sadly. "Don't be sad..." he looked at me. "You don't know how it for me to be isolated. It's hard and I hate... I just want to be around other people... I get pushed between two sides. I still love her but I also wish she's not overprotective. She is ruining my changes and that's just frustrating me..." I slammed my fist into the guilt.

I just want to be with Dino. He flashed me a smile and rubbed my cheek. "Come on..."
I got up, changed into normal clothing and Dino brought me back after breakfast to my house. He kissed my cheek and it made shiver in delight. He likes me! He kissed my cheek! I blushed a little.

I got back just in time. My mom walked into my room ten minutes later after I climbed through the window. "Ah, you're already awake." I nodded and got up from my sitting position on my bed.

"I am going to the shopping mall..." she trailed off. My ears perked forwards, "and I can come?! I'd like to leave the house. There's discount!" She raised her hand to silence me. "You know it's better to stay at home."
I turned away from her. "Why am I even living?" My mom approached. "Don't say that, Skye. You mean a lot to me and I don't want to risk someone hurst you!" He stated. I blinked the tears from my face. "You're always saying that... but in the mean time, I am wasting my time here in room, isolated from people. Alone. What's the purpose of living if I can't live?"

"We have talked about it."
"I will never forgive you for taking me away from my only friends. I hate you for that!" I folded my car ears flat and glared at her. "Yeah, well... we have talked about this and I am not going to argue with you!" She snapped back. "I like Dino. He's sweet and cares about me..."

She hit my cheek out of no where, something she had never done before. I held my sore cheek for a moment while staring at my mom. "Don't you get what will happen if he knows what you truly are? Do you think he will be the same if he sees those ears and tail? I am sorry they ruined you! So I suggest you start listening to me instead of just walking around like everyone is normal!" He shouted.

She turned around and slammed the door closed. Still with flat ears I turned and sat on my bed. Dino is different too, wouldn't he be supportive? I sucked in a breath and got up, looking at myself in the mirror and touched my ears and tail. I would love to have some touch them. I like cuddles, I like being close to someone, sitting a lap and just get cuddles and kisses.

I headed downstairs gave myself some milk and seated on the couch, legs crossed and tail resting on my thigh. Never used to drink milk, but since I turned into a Neko, I wanted nothing more but milk. I switched the TV on and zapped through some channels until I found a documentary from National Geographic.
