ZANDER'S POV.
I woke up to the smell of bacon.
"Was last night a dream? No it felt to real and was too vivid to have been a dream." I got out of bed and looked down I was still wearing the shorts Hayden threw at my face. I walked out of the tent.
"Well good morning... well afternoon I should say." He looked over and started laughing.
"Did I do something? Is something on my face?" I said wiping my face.
"More like your alternative hairstyle has become a nesting place for birds." He laughed even harder. I felt my hair and holy Scheiße (shit) it was terrible. "There's a brush in my car, walk that way for about five minutes you should see it in the middle of the woods."he said turning back to the food. So I walked and I found the car but I also felt like someone was staring at me. I'm probably just paranoid. I got the brush out of the car and started brushing my hair while walking.
I heard a crunching noise from behind me so I turned around.
"He he no wonder why I felt like someone was staring at me." I squatted down and wrapped one hand around my knees and outstretched the other. I made a clicking noise with my mouth. There was a baby kitten there. I got it to come close enough to let me pet it. It came to my knees and brushed up against my legs so I picked it up and checked for fleas and ticks and to find out its gender. The kitten was a girl and she had a tick so I took her back with me. Hayden had the food done.
"Welcome ba-----" his eyes widened "its..... its sooo.... SO CUTE!!!" he squealed and started to remind me of an anime character because he took the kitten out of my hands and started twirling with the cat in his arms . I imagined a pink wall behind them and hearts of all shapes surrounding them.....
"Are you sure you're not an anime character?" I said aloud and he stopped.
"Umm.... here." He said putting the kitten back in my arms.
"Um... OK.." I said thinking that was weird. "Did you bring alcohol with you?"
"Uhh... yeah but you just woke up not to long ago." His whole mood completely changed, I think I saw his super soft spot when he saw the kitten. I don't think he likes to show that side of him.
"Its not for me; I checked the kitten for fleas and ticks, luckily she doesn't have fleas but she does have a tick." I said showing him the tick that was on her back.
"What's the alcohol for?" He said confused.
"It'll get the tick out without hurting her."
"Oh makes sense I guess... I'll go get it " he said and walked inside the tent. He grabbed a paper towel and poured some alcohol on it. He came out and put it on the area with the tick. The tick fell out and on to his hand so he threw it in the fire.
" Die Mutter ficken Sie Stück Scheiße!!" He said in a growling voice.
I looked at him with a blank face and he turned around.
"You didn't have to scream 'die mother fucking piece of shit' at it." I said and went back to petting the kitten. The kitten was black and had one silver eye and one blue. I thought she was blind in the other eye so I tested her.
"Hayden can you hold the kitten again real quick." I asked even though I knew he would say yes.
"Uh.. sure." He said acting like he didn't care I covered the blue eye and moved my finger and she followed.
"well you're not blind must be lack of pigment in the eye or something like that." I said as he hands her back to me and I started petting her.
"So what are you gonna name her?" I looked up to find Hayden setting two plates down at the wooden table.
"I can keep her?" I said a bit shocked.
"No you can throw her back in the woods." He said sarcastically "I may be a murderer but I have a heart, I couldn't imagine leaving an animal stranded someplace or even doing half of the stuff I've done to people to one." He said sitting down at the table and started to eat.
"Hmmmhh.... how about...Engel?"(Angel)
"It suites her." He said shoving a piece of bacon down his throat. "Hand her here." He said wiping off his hands. I handed her to him and I took a seat. He fed her food off of his plate and I ate my own food. "Oh a friend of mine is coming here later today."
"You have friends?" I sounded more shocked than I was.
"Yeah his name is Luca and he's um.... a friend from when I was younger but he doesn't know about this whole situation between you and I so yeah."
"I won't say a word Hayden you don't have to worry about me." We finished our food. Hayden and I left in the car to buy some things for the kitten. We came back and put the litter box together and put it in the tent along with a mini cozy cat bed that looked like a dog house the size of my torso.
We had kitten food and water in the tent along with some toys. We kept her in there checking on her every hour.
"Yeah... mmmhhm.... OK Luca see you in a bit." I turned around to find Hayden hanging up the phone. "Zander we gotta get into some proper clothes, Luca's on his way here." He said and we both got dressed. I chose the black and red checkered shirt and white skinny jeans. Hayden wore a plan blue t shirt and some grey sweat pants. I saw a car coming from the distance once we came out of the tent.
