Red Hot Chili Pepper Imagines!

Emily and John Vol. 5 ❤️

Emily flicked the light switch in her kitchen on, with grocery bags in both hands. As she set them on the counter, her cat Lucy jumped up to greet her.

"Hi honey." Emily said to Lucy and was greeted with a soft meow. As she unpacked, Lucy sat and watched silently. Her soft purr filled the small space of Emily's kitchen and it brought her a little peace as she cooked.

There was a lot weighing on this meal. It was the first time John would be coming over, and Emily had stressed over what meal to prepare. Ultimately, she settled on spaghetti. It was simple and it was one of John's favorite dishes. He is Italian after all.

Besides the meal, another worry of Emily's was Lucy's reaction to John. Its no secret that John loved cats, he had many of his own, but what if Lucy didn't like John? She had always been such an amazing judge of character. To others it seemed silly but Emily trust Lucy's opinion.

John had called Emily to say that he was only a few min away. She began to scramble to finish and plate their meal. Lucy hopped down from the counter and perched herself in the window, as if waiting for John.

The doorbell rung and Lucy trotted behind Emily, the bell on her collar jingling with every step. "Hey!" John took a step forward and embraced Emily warmly.

"Come on in." Emily stepped aside, but Lucy stood her ground.

 
'Here's the moment of truth' Emily thought to herself as John noticed Lucy and knelt infront of her. If Lucy responds warmly, this night will go smoothly, but if she doesn't, the night is over before it starts.

John reached his hand out to Lucy, she didn't move, so he planted his hand on the top of her small head. Her eyes closed as John scratched the back of her head and smiled.

Emily let out a surprised, amused, huff and smiled too. "She likes you." Emily stated, and John looked up.

"Yeah?" He asked and Emily nodded.

"She hasn't reacted to anyone this well since," Emily paused to recall a time Lucy welcomed someone like this, but she couldn't, "well she never has."

John pets Lucy a bit more and responds, "Well, I'm honored."

Emily led John into the dining room where all of their was placed. The entire time they were at the table, Lucy circled John's legs.

John mentioned it and Emily's face became rosy. "Lucy, you're going to get fur all over his pants!" Emily pretended to scold her.

John laughed and shook his head, "It's alright, I live with three cats, I don't remember the last time I didn't have fur on me."

The couple had plans to go bowling, but after dinner they both decided a movie seemed more entertaining.

So, Emily and John sat on the couch, his arm was draped around Emily's shoulder. Her head was on John's chest. The rumble of his chest everytime he laughed at the movie made Emily's heart flutter.

Halfway through the movie, Lucy found her way into the couch. She wedged herself between the couple which brought a huge smile onto Emily's face.

Lucy was her best friend, and she approved of the man of her dreams. What more could she ask for?
