The Collaring of Chloe

Chapter 29: Broken Eggs

"I gonna be honest with you, Chloe. I don't think I cans ever properly enjoy an American bagel again. I's a changed kitty. I's gonna have ta import ma bagels an' coffee from Canada!"

Chloe snorted into the phone, which only made her laugh even harder. On the other end, she heard Mittens giggle with her. "And here I thought it would be the syrup." Chloe finally managed.

"Oh, that's great too!" Mittens said enthusiastically. "Especially on the bagels!"

Chloe gave another hearty laugh. "Well, I'm glad it's been such a great experience."

"Yeah, but we's missed you the whole time." Mittens whined. "We's coming back next year and bringing you. Master and me's already done decided. It just hasn't been the same without you."

"I know." Chloe said softly, feeling a tear form in the corner of an eye. "But I'm glad you got to have this time with Master, just you and him. I've missed you both so much too, but I wanted you to have this."

Chloe could almost hear the loving smile through the phone. "Well, I still think it would have been even better with you here. I can't wait to finally be home with you again tomorrow."

"Me either." Chloe said, pulling Mr. Fluffbutt up to her chest to hug as a surrogate for her beloved Mittens. "I expect pictures though!" She added after a moment, with a little chuckle.

"Oh, thems I gots!" Mittens replied. "Though there's no pictures at the event itself, we took lots of great pictures outside of the event and of Canada itself. And I cans show you the new friends we made."

"I'm just glad you're finally coming home." Chloe cooed, stretching out on the bed languidly, the motion producing a little yawn from her. "I've enjoyed serving Mistress Victoria, she's been great, but I keep wishing you two were here with me."

"That's how we've felt." Mittens confirmed. "It's been great, but it would have been better with you."

"I love you both so much." Chloe said softly, feeling more tears welling. "I can't wait to see you both."

"Well, we check out in the morning and our flight should be arriving there around four, so we should be there by five to five-thirty, depending on just how long everything takes with the airport."

Chloe snuggled up to the little stuffed cat, smiling warmly at the idea of seeing her beloved Master and Mittens again. "Well, I should probably go. I'm sure Mistress is waiting on me, probably not patiently. Let me talk to Master again really quick."

"Okie-dokie. Love you, Chloe!"

"Love you, Mittens."

There was a brief moment before Master's voice came back on the line. "I'm guessing you're needing to get back to Victoria?" He asked amusedly.

"Yes, Master." Chloe said. "But I needed to say a proper goodbye to you first."

"I'm glad you've enjoyed your stay with Victoria." He replied softly. "I knew she'd take good care of you and help you feel the way you've been wanting to feel."

"She has Master." Chloe responded. "She's really helped me scratch that need. I'm really grateful for it. I miss your collar and your hands though, Master."

"I've missed my slave very much too." He said, the love in his voice as strong as it was in Mittens'. "We'll see you tomorrow though. You should probably go make sure your current Mistress isn't looking for you though. I'm pretty sure that, by now, I don't have to tell you that she doesn't like to be kept waiting." He gave a little laugh. "I love you, slave."
