Trapped

Chapter five

Katrina POV

He was smart about this, because he knew I had now where to stay. But I wasn't complaining, especially if I got treatment like this! "No Grillby, I don't. Could I, stay with you? I shouldn't think you would mind." I say as I rub my head into his hand as he continues to rub behind me ear.

He chuckles. It made shivers run throughout my entire body; a deep chuckles, with the burning sensation of love and entirely whole. I have no idea what this meant to me, but it gave me butterflies. I smile up to him as we just sit at the bar, on the stools, just listening to his flames crackling and my purrs as he puts me in pure bliss. This was the best spa I could ever get.

"Grillby?" He looked down at me, with a pink hue coming over his flames. "Do you ever get sick?" It wasn't a very serious question, but with him being around snow and waterfall just ahead, it was something I could be concerned about. His health is quite important to me, more so now that I know he gives good pets.

"Well most monsters do. I'm assuming some are of course prone to it, so they can live in any terrain they would like to , but for most, including myself, I can get sick yes. If I for example, go into waterfall and get wet it can hurt me but also get me sick as its a way, like humans have a way, to get a cold, spasms with snow, though I can touch it for a bit longer then water."

I nod my head and continue relaxing. It becomes silent again as my questions is awnsered and we both have blank minds. Grillby suddenly shuffles below me. "Hm?" I look up to see Grillby looking down. "We do need to rest now you know, I cannot keep letting you all night as the bar is open tomorrow as well." I nod and let out a yawn.

My back straightens as I sit up and stretch out my arms, giving a stinging click. I sigh and walk through to the back with Grillby, where he guides me through the kitchen and to his room at the very back.

His room is small, but big enough for a queen sized bed. It's cozy and simple; there are now Windows but small wax candles are lit on the bedside tables giving it a warm and relaxing effect, the bed frame is of dark oak, and is coordinated with the sheets, which are a simple white and beige. The dressers and wardrobe are of the same material as the bed frames, and filled with multiple uniforms and casual clothing. Mostly men, but some are for women.

I give a glance at them and he beckons me over as he opens it, after letting his bow tie lossen. "These were from... My wife, before she...passed. Please treat them nicely." I nod my head, swearing and promising myself to never let a stain of any sort be upon these clothes.

I excuse myself and go find the bathroom to change in, as doing my regular routine infront of Grillby would just be embarrassing. I lock the door and strip off my clothes, where I get changed into fitting pyjama shorts and a tank top.

I let me tail swish about behind me before I get a comb out of my bag and comb my ears, hair then my tail.

I unlock the bathroom door and venture back to the warmth of the bedroom. I knock and hear a small voice, hoping it is saying for me to come in. I open it and see Grillby in just pyjama trousers as he bends down to get into the covers. A deep blush covers my face as I see his toned body tensing and relaxing as he moves.

I plop all of my belongings beside the door in the inside of the room and shut the door. "Thank you for letting me stay Grillby." He shakes his head, telling me it is fine, and I hope into the opposite side of the bed from him. We both blown out the candles on each side of the bed and sit in silence as the only light in the room comes off of him.

I open my eyes and see darkness, as I'm facing away from him I also see shadows in the ceiling when I look up, and see his flames dancing around in the shadows, making my mind create them into monsters of the night.

I whimper and huddle my body closer to itself, but instantly feeling a body of warmth envelope me. I glance up slightly to see Grillby looking down on me worried. "I'm not scared of the dark, I'm just scared of what's lurking in it."

He nods and I turn around in my foetus position and face him. His arms wrap around my waist and shoulders, whilst I snuggle into his chest, wrapping my arms around his torso. He hums abit and I slowly start to drift off.

"Good night my little kitty." He kisses me on my forehead and my dreams are consumed with him.

Well this was something, I haven't updated in a long time and with the new release of a different book, I though why not update this one too? Anywho, bye~
