Pretty Kitty

Chapter 7

Aphmau's POV

   After 'My Demons' started playing, I lapped at my delicious milk and flicked my tail with the beat. I noticed Garroth tapping his foot with the beat as well. Oh, the things you notice when you're a cat. Even if 'Headphones' is better, 'My Demons' is still a good song. I'm pretty sure Katelyn's favorite song is 'Drag Me Down.'

   Dante, after hearing Laurance replay 'My Demons' several times, plugged his phone into the iHome and played his music. He started with 'Centuries' and kept playing Fall Out Boy. Once Garroth got sick of Dante and Laurance's music, he plugged his phone into the iHome and played 'Stereo Heart.'  He started quietly singing along, and I have to admit that he was good. Garroth was reclining on the couch, so I jumped on the couch and curled up on his lap. He smiled and continued singing. Celeste padded over and laid down by Garroth's feet. Celeste was like a guardian angel. She was always me, checking on me. It was really sweet.
   'Stereo Heart' ended and 'Headphones' began. It was my favorite song. It was just so inspirational.  Garroth continued to sing. I purred and he rubbed me behind my ears. I purred louder.

   "Geez, can that cat purr any louder?" Travis asked as he opened his can of Coke. When he saw Celeste, he jumped on the island countertop, spilling his soda in the process.

   "What is that devil still doing here?!?!" Travis screeched.

   "Celeste is more like a guardian angel than a devil. She won't let Sprinkles out of her sight," Garroth calmly replied. "I don't know what Celeste did to you, but it must have been pretty bad if you keep jumping on top of furniture."

   "Yeah, what did happen?" Laurance smirked as 'Headphones' faded into 'Read All About It.'  Man, what is with Garroth's music?  It's all these great songs that I love. I kept purring and Garroth resumed singing. I felt so tired, I started to fall asleep on Garroth's lap.

   "Why don't you take a nap Celeste?" I purred. She looked as tired as I felt.

"I will, but you should sleep too. You need the rest."

"Okay," I sleepily replied. I closed my eyes once more as 'Read All About It' changed to 'Safe and Sound.' Calming music continued to play until I fell asleep, feeling loved.
