Wanting That Country Boy

That creature

We walked farther into the house and i spotted a black object with green glowing eyes.

''Logan what is that?'' I pointed ti the far right corner.

It started to move toward us and i grabbed Logans hand. Out of the shadow came a black cat. I ran over to where we were and rubbed against him.

''Ugh, filthy bastard!'' He looked over at me as he was about to kick the cat.

''No. Don't do that.'' I got down to its level and started petting it.

''Look he is friendly.''

''Yeah friendy with fleas and ticks.''

''Your so negative. Lets just boot his little but out of here and then close the door and go home. Deal?''

I grabbed the cat and walked outside while Logan shut the door behind me and locked it. I put the cat back on the ground and it ran to the door. Scratching at the door it meowed and pleaded to be let in. I looked over to Logan with a smile.

''Oh you got to be kidding me.'' He looked over ot me with an annoyed expression.

I just stared at him with wide eyes.

''Ok your not kidding.''

''Nope.'' I said while picking the cat up.

''Fine you win. But once we get home we are giving that.....that....thing a bath.'' He sighed and got in the truck.

I got in the truck with the cat on my side i put him in the truck and got in. The cat just sat there wondering where he was. I put him in my lap and sat by Logan who was now in the drivers seat.

''Get that thing away from me.''

I picked the cat up.

''You know you want to pet him.'' I smiled at him.

''No i would rather pet a dead opossum.''

''Youre cold.''

''When did you find that out?''

I looked back at the cat and set him back in my lap. I sighed and acted sad.

''Fine.'' He picked the cat up and then looked into its eyes.

''I'm never going to like you.''

''Logan! Be nice.''

''What it doesnt have feelings.''

I rolled my eyes and then looked over at him. Somewhere was a soft spot and I have seen it before, I just never noticed it.

We made it home around 6 and I had ran in the house and got in the bathroom. Logan followed me and was holding the cat away from him with a frown. I started up a bath and put the cat in. He squirmed for a bit but then he settled down. I scrubbed him down and then i heard a splash. Logan was sitting on the floor against the wall. The door was shut and i looked down at my chest. Soaking wet.

''What was that for?'' I asked him.

''What was what for?'' He asked back laughing.

I laughed a little and then splashed him back getting him soaking wet too. He splashed me back and we went back and forth. After a little bit I found myself laying Logans arms with a drying cat on the bed. I was tired and ready to fall asleep. Logan was already asleep and the cat was falling asleep to the sound of country music.
