♛H.Q.♛
• chapter thirty-eight| Teeth
Shockingly, the zoo got empty because of the presence of Joker inside.
The families that are supposedly enjoying to feed the animals behind the cages soon ran out as Mistah J and I walked through, leaving the zoo like a ghost land. Though, the only noise you can possibly hear around the environment was the annoying, non-ending squeaks and rampaging of animals in cages. Different types of birds chirping all around, Monkeys being idiots and keeps yelling and banging on the bars.
I took my time to look at every animal, while Puddin' was just following me from behind, whistling as he watched me take my time to actually enjoy the wild life.
The turtles were painfully boring to watch because of their painfully slow walking pace. Fishes on the other hand, got my attention from it's various types, colors, and sizes. The snakes however, were fascinating, the way they hiss and wrap around their body as they look at you was so intimidating, reminded me of J himself.
"Hun, we don't have all day." Joker finally huffed out, sounding tired and impatient of how I was just stuck having a staring contest with the white cobra in front of me.
"Coming!" I replied, soon following Joker to the big boys. I rushed over to his side and slid my hand around his, wrapping my fingers around his as he intertwined his around mine as a response, holding me close.
We looked around as we walked through the small cage that separated us from the King of the Forest, the Lions. Inside there was a few females and males, "Want that?" He suddenly asked out of the blue, his eyes looking through the cage.
I shot my look at him with a questionable expression, "What?"
"Get a Lion as a pet instead of a worthless cat." He rolled his eyes, scoffing.
He really is a mad man! How was I suppose to raise a goddamn dangerous, man-eating animal such as the Lion! "No way, I still want to live and have a family with ya." I glared at him, clicking my tongue.
He rose up both of his hands in surrender, "Fine, fine, fine. Pick a different one then." He replied in defeat, knowing he won't convince me to get the Lion anytime soon.
We walked even further, walking pass the Lion cage and arrived at the Tiger's. "Now there's a kitty." J chuckled, squatting down to see the marvelous orange and white striped animal with an accent of black all over its fur.
"Pud, no." I still refused, giving him another glare. "We are not getting a Tiger!"
"Aw c'mon!" He whined, getting back up from his knees and looked at me with a pout, "I saw people raise a kitten as vicious as that beast at a young age."
"That Tiger was still a kitten, it's different from a grown one like this." I pointed to the Tiger who has been eyeing at us as his dinner.
Joker then sighed in defeat and just walked off, mumbling curses under his breath as he looked around more. I rolled my eyes at him and just followed him from behind.
A few walks, we finally came across to another, uncommon cage. With those amusing sounds coming from the cage. I peeked my head and saw dark grey wild boys, with their tongues sticking out as they sat down, looking back at me. The noises they make made me so amused, I didn't want to leave them. The bad boy hyenas are now mine. "Unlock the gates, babe." Joker knew if I liked something, he instantly took the hint of me staring at the Hyenas and just got along with it, "At least it ain't useless cats or dogs." He shrugged.
I felt so nervous, what if the hyenas will eat me when I unlock their cage?
I let out a sigh before turning back to the two Hyenas that are now close to the bulletproof glass, looking back into my eyes. A smile then creeped onto my face as the thought of having their trust wavered around me. I then held onto the handle, ready to twist the gates open and set the pups free. Before I did that, I took a deep breath and let my eyes shut close, waiting for them to pounce into me and eat me. But, no.
I opened my eyes to see the two Hyenas sitting in front of me with a big smile, with their tongues out like two puppies pleading. I let out a smile and giggled as my hand extended to the two animals, they reacted and leaned their heads back to my touch, making happy noises.
But damn, those teeth are just magnificent.
