Neko Freedom

Part 5

I woke to an empty bed in an empty room. All these mixed emotions left me confused on how I should feel. I stretched out my arms above my head and twisted in the sheets. Kale really wasn't here.

Standing up, I wobbled to the door. Servants were rushing around through out the house. "Um, excuse me...?" I softly called out, it was my first time trying to talk to them.

Their noise was too great for my whisper to be heard. I wanted to ask where Kale was, but I was too nervous to ask. I wandered around the house and stopped at the back door. I looked outside when I realized something. Two maids had been talking in hushed tones.

"You see that boy over there?" One had said.

"The blonde one, with the black ears?"

"Yes, someone had said he was a thief, that he only came to steal."

The smaller one had gasped, "How evil! Shouldn't we tell the master of the house?"

"I believe he already knows..."

I turned around. My eyes were full of furry, my heart was full of sadness. Was that all I was seen as? They saw me scowling at them and hurried off. "Do you think he heard us?"

"No..."

They had put me in a bad mood. I stormed outside and watched butlers squirm like ants. I silently wandered around, trying to find a place where I was out of the way.

Sitting under a tree not too far away, I listened to their conversations. They, however, didn't gossip about the same things the girls had. "Hey, did you hear?"

"Hear what?"

A group of men had been talking to each other for a while now. "The head masters are going on a vacation and we are going to get a paid day off."

They high-fived, shook hands, and clapped together. I awkwardly watched them walk away. Repositioning myself, I heard my stomach growl. Thinking back, I hadn't eaten for a day or two. I heard it growl again and decided to grab something to eat.

As I wondered through the back yard, Kale popped out of the back door. He was carrying something and walked it over to me. "Leo, are you hungry?"

I laughed as I nodded my head, "Yes, thanks."

I ate half of my food somewhat quickly before I realized he hadn't touched his. He was watching me eat. "You're a mess." He chuckled out.

Looking at my hands, I saw sauce streaming down my arms. I picked up my napkin and began to wipe off when he said something that shocked me. "Give me your arm."

We were sitting across from each other, but the table was small enough that our knees almost touched. "What?" I said quietly.

"You heard me, do as you are told."

I looked around to find that no one was outside. Everyone was busy just a second ago, what had happened? I reached my arm over the table slowly and watched as he grabbed my wrist.

His touch was soft and he held me carefully. "You really are a mess." He quietly said.

Embarrassment filled my face and I looked away. I felt some of the liquid drip from my hand, followed by another wet surface. It brushed my wrist and went in between my fingers. I looked up and began to choke on my surprise. He was licking my hand!!

His tongue smoothly slid over my skin like it was nothing. Was he trying to make that seductive face, or was it just me? I whimpered to myself as he pulled away. Just a I thought it was over, he began to suck on my fingers, one by one.
