Secret Love Nest

Cat

Me: (pouting as I lay in bed beside Qing) You don't love me!

Qing: (snorting while still focused on the book he is reading) I don't love you?

Me: (smoothing the comforter grumpily) Yes! Look at Mr.Li, he loves the Goddess across the hall.

Qing: (laughing) He just gave her a cat! Is that your standard on love? I love you if I give you a cat?

Me: Yes!

Qing sighed heavenward like I am frustrating the hell out of him. I don't understand why he is stressed, all I'm asking is for him to show his devotion to me by giving me a tabby cat.

Remember that cat on our Summer MV? That kind of cat will do, just as long as she is a girl and sweet on me.

Are you all asking why I am suddenly demanding a feline female from Qing?

Well, the Goddess across the hall received a tom cat from her lover and I am envious.

Yes, I am ugly like that. I also sometimes covet what others have. We all have moments like that. But you will all understand if you will see her cat. Her cat is too cute! He is fat, ginger and totally oblivious to my charm. 

(Just like Cupcake? She hates you too, right? Why do you like this cat if he hates you too?)

Well, Cupcake is bitchy and like what you said, she hates me because she is jealous that Qing loves me. Carlos, Goddess' cat (yes it's a Spanish name and your have to roll the "r" for him to come to you) doesn't hate me. He is...how to say this? He thinks I am dirt on his feet. He is indifferent to me. He looks at me and dismissed me.

In short...he doesn't think I am worth his time and he is making me want to work hard for his affection. Now, I think I understand why Qing pursued me so hard to get my love even when I had too many doubts about us.

It's the challenge of making that person, or in my case that cat, to love you back. The surrender will be sweet. It's making the blood rush hotly in my veins.

Qing: (shaking his head) No. I think you still don't understand why I pursued you. Really, a challenge? (Shake his head again) Just...no.

Me: (because I am matured and wise) Whatever! Give me a cat!

Qing: No!

Me: (clucking my tongue) Give me a cat!

Qing: No. (Turn back to the book he is reading)

Me: (pushing his book downward to annoy him) Giiiiveee me a cat...

Qing: (pushing my hand off his book) Nooooo...

I glare at him. He stared at me. It's a battle of will and guess who had won?!

Me: (as I turn sideways, away from him) (mumbling) Not giving me a cat. Doesn't love me. And...Ack!

The last one was when Qing finally dimmed the lampshade on his side and yanked me closer to hug me.

Me: (hitting his arm around my waist) Back off! No cat, no honey!

Qing: (laughing) It's no money, no honey.

I know that! Duh! But I don't want money, I want a tabby cat!

Me: (whining) Qing ah.,,

Qing: No. Sleep, Dayu...

Me: (whimpering) Qing ah...
