An Awkward Duet - Jon Cozart and Dodie Clark ❀ Jodie ❀

Kitten - Part 16

Dodie and Jon were asleep in each other's arms on the bench. It was 5:14am. "Jon, love. Wake up." She said. He stretched. "What time is it?" He said, dropping his head in her lap. She laughed softly and looked at her phone. "5." She replied, picking his head up. They started walking back to the flat. "You know. I don't know how, but the anger and sadness is gone. I feel at peace. I am still worried but I feel much better now about her death. It's like I know she wants me to feel at peace about it." Dodie started. She looked over and didn't see Jon. She turned around. Jon was sitting on the ground by a tree, playing with a small, grey kitten. She clenched the collar of her sweater as she pressed her lips together, freaking out over how cute the situation was. She walked towards them. "Oh, hi Dodie." He looked up and smiled. She giggled and sat down. "Can we keep himmmm?" He pleaded. "Jon, I would have to take care of him. It's not like we live together." She said. "Orrrrrrrrrr..." He said, looking the other direction. "I could move into the building." She smirked. "Jon, you can't move to London." She said. "Why not? You and Hazel would have your space and we wouldn't be miles and miles and miles and miles apart all the time! I'm sure my brother would be fine living alone. And, my family was ok with me moving from Texas to California. What's London?" He said,  grabbing her hands. She halfway smiled. "So, we're planning our lives around this kitten?" Dodie asked standing up. Jon picked the kitten up and stood up, nodding. "Okay, but he's living with you." She said.
