|Villem| Chapter One: No More Son *VINE BOOM*

Villem's POV

JUNE 9, 4269

The flash of one of my older cameras had scared me right out of thinking. Not expecting a blinding light to hurt me. I need to get these replaced, but newer cameras are so expensive. I need to start saving money before it becomes unlivable and I have to go back to hookups. They're cool and all but I hate the people requesting service, so much. I remembered I was taking photos of a natural scenic view for someone, while the summer sun was beating down on me. It's one of the hottest days it's ever been, I can feel my fur just sweating up a storm. I flipped through the photos in my camera, finding just enough photos that I can convert to beautiful pictures. 

I threw it in my bag, packing away my other important items for photography. I just need to convert those photos, turn them in, and go home! Then I can finally relax after a hard hour of work. I strutted forward among one of the trails leading back to town, completely off-guard. That was until my phone began to ring, I had completely forgotten I had set it to the loudest volume. Who is it now?! I swear if It's that one guy who keeps harassing me- I picked up the call expecting it to be one of those scumbags. But to my surprise, I heard a soft, kind voice on the other side. "Is this Villem? I hope I got the right number." I was in awe for a moment, surprised by a normal call and not some weirdo on the other line.

"Oh! Uhm yeah I'm Villem, did you need something?" I nervously asked, never expecting a call like this. "I heard you're a photographer, correct?" "Mhm!" "I was wondering if you could help take photos of my family for me. A friend of mine used your services before and the photos you produce are lovely!'' The compliment made my face turn completely red. Nobody's ever liked my photos before, this is such a big surprise for me. "Oh thank you! I would love to! Where would you like to arrange this?" after working out some details and extra contact information. The meeting spot would be a few blocks from here, starting in a couple of hours from now. 

They offered to pay me five hundred whole dollars! I can't believe my ears that I am finally getting business! Though that's so much money, I wonder how rich this family is. I couldn't contain my excitement and ran in circles a few times, the thought constantly running throughout my head. I headed outside the forest, rushing for my house to make sure I look nice for this event. Maybe I can finally move out of this townhouse if I keep getting money like this. 

I slammed my front door wide open, carefully closing it once inside and bolting upstairs. I slid open my drawer and dug around for any nice piece of clothes that I owned. I buttoned up a nice dress shirt and a pair of new jeans. God, I always look so stunning and sexy, it's great to be me. I laughed at my comment and grabbed my equipment. Putting it all in its respective spots so I know where they are by the time I arrive. I looked at the clock on my wall near the door. It's only been twenty minutes, I have two hours left. Dammit, I always do this! I face-planted on my bed, thinking of something to do. Noticing the emptiness of my home and how unwillingly lonely I am. I would invite people over but I don't know anyone, nor am I in the mood to call one of those weirdos for quick boring entertainment. 

What to do- what to do. I looked around my room for anything to spark interest. I caught sight of an old stuffed animal from when I was a child, a cat plush to be exact. Maybe I can get a pet? I love cats and sure would adore the company but I'm not sure if that's what I'm looking for. I stared at it for a few more seconds until it clicked. A child! Saying that sounds weird but maybe having a kid would ground me and even have someone to enjoy my interest with! It's just perfect! Though am I really fit to be a dad? Usually, you'd need a mom or another father but I don't ever think about being with anyone. I think I can manage as a single dad! Better do it now than never, I can easily get this done within two hours!
