Somehow Love is Found (BWWM)

Chapter 14: Rafty?

"Even the most sadistic and destructive man is human, as human as the saint."

― Erich Fromm

When I finally caught up to Refael, he was laughing at me.

I snatched my phone away and whacked him on the arm.

"Never do that again or else!" I warned.

He snickered.

"Your mom is really nice," he teased.

"Ugh, no she's not. She's nice to you because of your last name," I pointed out.

"And you're nice to me," he pointed out.

I scoffed.

"Who lied to you?"

"Bitch, you told me nice things this morning,"

"I always tell my whores nice things. That way, they'll make money with zero complaints," I said, shrugging.

He gasped dramatically.

"Whores? I thought I was the only one."

"Sike," I said, "you're just Whore number one."

He smiled that stupid smile.

"I'm number one."

Idiot.

"Why would you invite yourself over to that house though?" I asked.

"Because it's where you live Octy. How bad could it be?" he asked.

I laughed.

"Oh well, I suppose you'll have to see for yourself," I said.

Grabbing his arm, we headed into the aquarium.

************************************************

Safe to say we had a lot of fun.

We took a lot of photos and did some silly things.

Like Refael danced with the guard and we pranked the lady selling souvenirs.

Before we got kicked out, we filmed ourselves doing the Naruto run out of the aquarium.

**********************************

When we got into the ice-cream parlour I almost screamed out loud.

So many flavours!

I just stood there in awe, while Refael bought the ice-cream.

Since both of us loved the same flavour, it was okay to buy two pints.

After we left, we walked on the road, eating ice-cream with big spoons from a two-pint container.

People were staring but we didn't care.

I threatened to throw ice-cream at this woman who glared at me for no reason and Refael had to stop me.

Somehow, we stumbled into a pet shelter.

When we entered, the helpers eyed us suspiciously.

I arched my brow and Refael squeezed my arm. I looked around.

There were so many pretty animals and... kittens!

I forgot about the ice-cream and rushed to the kittens.

They were so cute and stared at me so curiously. My heart melted.

"I want one," I said.

"Are you serious?" asked the volunteer.

I nodded.

"I love cats," I said.

"Me too."

I turned to see Refael staring at a grey kitten very lovingly. It had beautiful blue eyes and a cute black nose. It appeared to have taken a liking to him because it was licking his hand from the cage.

The awe nearly left me, butI kept it together.

He just seemed so boyish around these affectionate creatures.

The volunteers were all staring, looks of adoration clear as day on their face.

"She came in a few days ago. Someone found her on the road and brought her here," said one of the volunteers.

"Oh, aren't you a precious one?" I cooed, pushing my finger.

She licked my finger.

************************************

And so it was that we became the parents to a cute grey kitten.

Now we needed to give her a name.

"Velvet sounds so stuck-up," I argued, "what if we take her to Kitty school and the other kittens won't play with her?"

Refael laughed.

"Are you serious? That's exactly why we should name her Velvet. Ain't nobody gonna fuck around Velvet."

I shook my head.

Our baby was crawling around rather curiously in my car, assessing the unfamiliar environment.

"Or we could just give her a name that comes from both of us," I said, "after all, she is ours."

"We sound like a married couple that just got confirmation from Maury," said Refael, shaking his head, which caused me to laugh.

When did he have the time to watch Maury?

"Rafty. We could name her Rafty," I said.

He made a face.

"Rafty?"

"Yeah. Raffy and Octy equals Rafty."

At the mention of her name, she came to the front, positioning herself between me and Refael. Refael stroked her head.

"You like your name hm?" he asked.

She purred, looking almost pleased with herself.

"We will love you and cherish you always," I promised.

Our darling Rafty.

*********************************

I know it's short but I didn't want to prolong anything.

Every now and then a wholesome moment is good.

I love cats, I want a kitten.

But I will have to wait.

So what do you guys think about Rafty?

Hope you guys loved this little soft moment.
