CHAPTER 2
"Andy..." She could hear being whispered. "Andy..." The voice was getting louder. "Andy!" Her name was yelled into her ear as someone shook her awake. A bit groggy, she looked up over her shoulder to see Nigel. "Bastard... didn't you notice I was sleeping?" Andy asked, and went to put her head back down on the pillow. "Yes I noticed but you gotta get up if we want to go get dinner before we go to the club." Nigel said putting his hands on her shoulder again to shake her, when all of a sudden he felt claws in his hands, he withdrew his hands quickly shaking them. "Ouch!" He exclaimed looking down at Aries, whose yellow eyes seemed to burn a hole through him. "Mind telling your cat NOT to attack me?" Nigel told Andy, and she just looked down at Aries and smiled. "Who's my good boy?" Andy said to Aries and started scratching behind his ears. "You both are a little fucked up, ya know that?" Andy just smiled. "Yeah, we know." Andy told Nigel, still scratching behind Aries' ear and looked up at Nigel. "Well get up sleepy head, because it's time to party." Nigel told her smacking the bottom of her foot and then leaving her room to let her get ready for the night.
Andy kissed the top of Aries head and slid out of bed, heading into her bathroom to get ready for the night. She quickly undressed, stripping her shorts and underwear off at the same time, and pulling off the sports bra and tank top at the same time as well. She started the water, letting it get hot enough when Aries jumped into the bath. Andy had never had a cat who enjoyed the water, but Aries loved the water and would often take showers with Andy. Andy laughed and got in closing the curtain before she started the shower. She looked down at the soaked kitten who was rolling around in the water. "Hey now, you're taking up all the hot water..." Andy said with a smile looking down at Aries, who just purred and rolled around in the warm water.
After finishing the shower it was routine for her to dry off Aries before drying herself off. She watched as Aries scampered off to groom himself after she had set him down. She stood in front of the mirror, and checked herself out. She had always had somewhat of a low self esteem, and even though she had practically perfect tan skin, proportioned body, and a toned figure, she still managed to find flaws in herself. In the mirror she could easily see the tribal design going across her shoulders and meeting in a point in the middle of her back on her spine, which also tied in the tiger she had on her right shoulder, and the dragon she had on her left shoulder.
She continued to get ready by doing the normal things a person would do to get ready, brush teeth, dry hair, style hair into some up do that looks like it took forever when it really took fifteen minutes, and get dressed. She threw on a pair of khaki pants, that were tight in the thighs and ass but loose in the legs, and threw on a blue striped collared shirt that she had bought in the men's section of the department store. Underneath her outfit she had thrown on a sports bra and of course a pair of bikini cut underwear. Andy was not high maintenance whatsoever and had never been that way. She felt no need to impress anyone who didn't like her for who she was underneath her clothes.
After adding some necessities to the outfit, such as a belt, her watch, and everything that needed to be taken with her, she walked out of her room, but not before scratching behind Aries' near dry ear. "Nigel!" Andy yelled, keeping her door open just enough for Aries to squeeze in and out of. Andy looked down the hall towards the kitchen and living room area, and saw Nigel's head poke out of the kitchen and looked down the hall towards her. "Hey there sexy, you ready to go?" Nigel asked, holding a half drunken margarita in his hand. Andy walked towards him taking the margarita out of his hand and downing it quickly. "Now I'm ready." She told Nigel setting the cup down on the counter. Nigel smirked and grabbed his house keys so he could lock the door behind them. "Cabs waiting downstairs." Nigel told her leading her out of the apartment and down the stairs to the waiting cab.
