Chapter Thirty-nine

Mason's pov

It was one o-clock in the morning when i starting to wake up to our screeching noises probably Mitty was demanding to talk to her friend Mischief (who was a gingery striped male tabby cat) instead of being an supporting pet owner parent dad that i was to Mitty. I decided to keep her upstairs in my room to teach her that it was not compulsory for her to have a boyfriend at her age in cat years. I couldn't even sleep so I rang her mum, of course my girl, my muse, Rochelle to help deal with our pet child Mitty that picks up her phone at the second ring to come look after her until the noise turns into purring sounds. I thought cats were highly independent and intelligent animals species who don't crave for another cat's attention; however, I was proven wrong by my own pet kitten.

"Hey, muse, i think something is wrong with Mitty."I said in a panic to her.

A light giggles escapes out of her mouth as i heard it over the phone before she cleared her throats while i was waiting for her respond back to me with an answer to at least fix the kitten which i admitted that used as an excuse to see Rochelle a whole period back when we wasn't dating each other in the past but now we were currently dating each other and i couldn't be more thankful to have this kitten in my life because i couldn't be anymore happy than i was already. I hope that I didn't wake her up from her sleep like I was rudely interrupted from mine by our pet kitten. The whole hockey team had an early morning practice with our coach Jensen making us run through every single drill there was in our playoff book which none of us were looking forward too.

Quite frankly, I don't know if she was up all night long preparing her playlists including her song for the university auction on tomorrow evening to night gala charity event that happens every single year and guess what the theme was the advent calendar ..... Firemen apparently the vote percent went skyrocketing high especially when most of the university money was being spent on new hockey: equipments, better books and resources for every major university degrees like Science, History, Math, drama, Music, Modern Arts and English etc. this mean all of the classes were being canceled giving every single teacher time to prepare their syllabus earlier before the holiday to teach us for the next year.

"Hi Mase, have you tried giving her a cuddle to get our kitty Mitty to calm down?"

Every kitten has claws so I picked up my white t-shirt only for our kitten to rip it into pieces now. The only alternative for this was for me to gently pick up Mitten to my chest and hold her there for a couple of minutes until she was restless enough to go back to sleep. I sent a picture of our kitten on my bare chest shirtless and I waited for her to reply back to me seeing that she took some time to say some words until she replied back to me with: you're such a tease! For sending me that picture of you shirtless.

"Unfortunately, mama bear, it didn't work because our kitten is still wanting to see her best friend Mischief." I moved Mitten on my bed and then I was getting dressed, including bringing an overnight bag to stay at my girl Rochelle dorm room on campus. "See i told you that kitten was a bad influence on our girl Mitty." I said to her.

Quickly, i looked everywhere in sight of my room for our kitten's favorite chew toy but only to remember that we left it in her campus room and this kitten will be the death of me. I started climbing out the window of my bedroom to avoid the risk of waking my friends up.

Afterwards, I jumped down and landed safely to soon resume my mission of getting into my girlfriend's campus dormitory to solve this mess to then open my car to drive off toward the girls dormitory apartment thinking it was a great idea at the time because we need to set some boundaries with our kitten. I was traveling alongside our kitten in my car. Of course the window was rolled slightly down to prevent our kitten from escaping from my car or otherwise she would be asking questions too.

Mitty and I had made our way to my Muse dormitory building on campus safely knowing that I would get better sleep only when we were in the same bed as each other since my darkest nightmares were past events when my father would potentially abuse me with his belts or throw a punch at me. My nightmares were a repeat of a cycle of negative past memories in my mind.

"Did you just call me, Mama bear?" she said questionably with a laugh and then she continued to ask me."Where are you going? I heard cars driving off into the distance and honking the horn sound from the phone." she asked me in confusion.

Bribery was not on top of my list today but i just have pay a girl twenty canadian bucks to distract the advisor and the TA of the building whilst i sneak in with a kitty to see my girl as if it was nothing and then i knocked on her door as a huge crowds of girls swarms behind me in bee motion. As they simply marveling at the fact that ones of the most feared hockey player on campus was waiting outside a girl door at midnight. I would give it a day or two for this just to be old news to go aways.

Rochelle, was sane to my insanity. The shining star that blinds my darkest days and it was fate that had brought us together too.

"Yes, I might have done that but to answer your last question, please open your door."I tell her as I'm waiting patiently to see her face.

She opened her dorm room door wearing only one of my old t-shirts that look too large on her and an old pair of her short for pjs looking completely gorgeous in them. Our kitten Mitty ran instantly into her mum arms as i felt betrayed by it whilst i pulled her into a hug because our kitten Mitty was still mad at me forbidden her from seeing her boyfriend aka it is actually a kitten as well that was why we didn't kiss each other and i ended our phone call just knowing coach Jesen would be on case tomorrow morning for not getting adequate amount of sleep to be ready for hockey practice.

"You look like a grumpy cat owner.'' She paused between fits of laughter trying not to wake-up one of her best mates and her roommates who was sleeping in their bed right now. "did she put you through a lot tonight?" she asked with worries in her eyes.

Children are slightly better than a pet kitten since I used to look after my younger twin brothers Aiden and Brayden when they were a lot younger than how old they both were now at least I didn't struggle to go to sleep with them. In the meantime, i kicked off my shoes making myself comfortable sitting on her waiting for her to join me so that we could cuddle each other to sleep and i don't mind be the spoon in this occasion as she finally joined me on her bed after closing the front quietly not to wake her roommate Jessasnym Asher's girlfriend.

Thankfully, our kitten stopped making too much noise for the both of us to go to sleep.

"Yes, I am one grumpy cat owner. The way our pet Mitty was driving me through the walls when she complained about me banned her from seeing that other kitten called Mischief, so now we're here in your bedroom." I explained it clearly to her.

My eyes were closed but I was still awake and heard her mention a few things to me as she turned around to face me and started to play with my hair while she sang me a song to help me fall asleep like a soft gentle lullaby.

She suddenly stopped singing to say out loud. "Gosh, can't you imagine us as parents in the future and having a teenager daughter. You're going to be a great dad one day, Masey." she watches me to see if i would freeze or change the topic of our conversation but i didn't say anything even though i pucking, love her for saying those words to me by reassuring that i wouldn't become my father and how she's seriously confident in telling me that she want to build a home with me.

We're each other's safe places.

All of my doubts about being a terrible father just like my own father did frightened me a lot had all gone thanks to her which means that, I could do all of those sappy and romantic things with her in our future for sure.

I'm at a point in my life when I was past all the bull-trash and drama that I could finally breathe again. I freaking love it! No father who chose drinking over their family, no more of her crazy, mad and jealous exes. No more putting myself last because as a result it almost ruined my relationship with Rochelle. However, I won her heart back by groveling for a couple of months. It was not easy but anything was possible and worth it for my girl.
