The Trucker

Chapter two

We are on a more rural road, a cat darted from the cornfield and I hit the brakes, but not in time. I jump out, tears in my eyes. It was a small black kitten with white spot on her left eye. She was breathing, just unconscious, and probably had a concussion. I cry a bit, cradling the small frame in my arms. I get the sling from my pack in the car that I sometimes use for Thunder and place her gently inside. "We need to take you to the vet asap." I state to the tiny figure in the sling.

     In the vet, the kitten woke up and the vet did a check up. "She's just fine, she's also spayed, but there is no microchip." I think. "Can you put on in?" I ask the vet smiled, "of course, I'll just need you to sign a form please." He went and got me a clipboard with some questions on it.

   I walk back to the car with a grumpy but fully vaccinated Dotty. "Thunder, this is your new little sister Dotty." I place her by Thunder who proceeded to lick her a bit, and she returned the jester. I smile at the pair and as I start the truck I hear a low sound, almost like a chuckle as Dotty bakes biscuits on the seat. I take a quick picture before heading out. I turn on the my phone and start my playlist. The song "Royals" comes on I sing to the chorus.
"We will never be royals, but you can call me queen bee, baby let me live my fantasy."

    I giggled knowing I sang it wrong. For the rest of the time I just listened, Thunder and Dotty fell asleep cutting. Lazy little bums. I snickered at the thought. Dotty is purring and now baking biscuits on Thunder. She can't be more that 4 months old. Poor thing, just a little baby, and almost got hit by a truck! I sighed guiltily, I should've stopped sooner, I should have seen her. Thunder shot up and started licking my leg. I snapped out of my trance and loosen my tight grip on the wheel. "Thanks Bubba, just thinking about how I should have been more careful when driving." I say glancing at Dotty, Thunder thumped, again bringing me back. "On the bright side, now she has a loving home and a big bunny brother." I say petting in a circular motion on his cheek, he melts as I pet him. "I love you both." Dotty jumped on my neck, purring in my ear. I smile "my little family." I kiss her nose. I merge onto the highway as the sun sets.
"Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful boy~"

I sing with the song to Thunder as he falls asleep in my lap, "and beautiful girl." I kiss Dotty again. I look in the mirror and frown "and their ugly mother who looks like a naked mole rat with a wig..." I say sadly, the engine growls and it made me jump. "Probably just a hiccup..." I mumbled. I sigh, and focused on the road. My insides make a noise. "Shut up, you can wait till morning." I snap at it. Earning another noise from the engine. All the sudden the wheel turns on its own into a small dinner. "What in the name of Thunder's biological mother?!" I yelp in shock. I rub my nose bridge and sigh. "I'm going insane..." I growl to myself leaning my head backwards into the seat. "I guess we are staying here for the night, I'll go see if we have to pay." I explained to Thunder, Dotty on my neck like a scarf. I walk in "hello! Welcome to Dotty Diner!" A nice woman at the counter says. I laugh out loud "No joke?" I asked she looked confused and slightly offended. "No, I'm not joking. I named it..." I smile "I just got this little booger and named her Dotty because of the dot on her left eye." I held out the cat. A broad smile came to the woman's face. "That's just lovely! I thought you might be making fun of my dinner, some people do..." she trailed sadly. I walk closer, "I'm traveling and have my truck parked outside, I would like to know how much I need to pay to spend the night." She thought a moment "well we usually charge 60$ but because you have the cutest cat and her name is so beautiful, I'll give you it half off." I smile big. "I'll just pay in full, also do you have any jelly doughnuts?" I ask curiously. She walks off to the back and comes back with three doughnuts. "Thank you." I pay her and head back to the truck. I get everything ready and after eating the doughnuts I pass out.
