Bunni Babbitt

9.

(BilliePOV)

     I woke to the sound of the bus door opening. My driver had returned. Babs and I were still cuddled together in the same position as last night when we first went to sleep. I could feel Charlie’s little paw pushed against my chest. I knew she was still a bit skeptical about me but hopefully she’ll get use to me. The bus’s engine started making Babs move a bit. It’s kind of weird calling her Babs after calling her Bunni for so long, but when I say Bunni, that stripper tag comes with it. I knew she wouldn’t want that label following her around. When I’d call her by her real name I just felt I was talking to myself. I heard her moan a little as she started to wake. I pulled her tight. The bus started to move. “Billie?” she said still half asleep.

“it’s ok. We’re just leaving, go back to sleep.” I rubbed her back. “It’s 7 in the morning. We’ll stop and get breakfast later.” I felt her nod.

“ok.” I kissed her head and she made a kissing noise just before we both fell back to sleep.

I woke again; this time at 9:27 and on my back. Babs had her head on my chest and arm across my stomach, her hand gripping my side. Her knee was pulled across my legs, and I still had my arms wrapped around her. Charlie was in the space between my side and her stomach. I just saw her paws up slightly bent down. She was lying on her back looking quite cute and a bit funny. I chuckled a bit when I saw her ear flicker a bit and her paw scrape at the air. Silly Kitty must be dreaming. I felt Babs tug on me a bit as she took in air waking up. She slid her head up and slowly opened her eyes. I looked at her and she smiled making me smile. “Good morning.” I said softly. I brushed her hair from her face.

“Good morning.” She smiled and sat up to give me a kiss. It was short and sweet. I licked my lips.

“Are you hungry?”

“A tad bit.” She smiled. I smiled and she looked down and petted Charlie. Charlie didn’t budge so she started flicking her paws up and they just fell back in place. I smiled and took my finger and barley grazed the tip of her ear. She made it flicker. I smiled and did it again. She made it twitch again and Babs giggled. Babs reached her finger over doing her other ear at the same time I did. Charlie finally shook her head sitting up quickly. We both giggled. She looked like a startled child that was rudely woken. She yawned and rolled on her Belly. “She’s so lazy.” Babs said laughing. She turned off of me onto her back and pulled Charlie onto her chest. I rolled on my side and we both began to pet her.

“I guess I’ll go call the boys and see if they’re awake so we can stop at a diner.”

“Ok. Hey Billie, what if they don’t like me?” She looked to me asking sounding a bit concerned. I smiled.

“Why  wouldn’t they?”

“Because I was an ex stripper.” I chuckled.

“Babe, in my eyes you were a dancer. You never stripped down naked, so I don’t see how you can fit in that category.” She gave me a slight smile.

“It’s the same thing. I gave a lap dance for money.”

“Yeah to me!” I chuckled out. She smiled.

“Yeah but I wasn’t even 100% sure if it was you at the time.” She smiled.

“Doesn’t matter. They’ll love you. You’re to awesome not to love.” She smiled.

“Aww Billie.”

“Daww Babs.” I said pushing my forehead against hers smiling. She rolled her head up and kissed my nose. I smiled and sat up but before I went to get my phone I planted her on the lips with a big wet one causing her to giggle. She’s so sweet. “I’ll be back.” She nodded and I stepped out. My phone was charging on the counter. I unplugged it and dialed Tre.
