"Oh. My God" I say between my breaths as I sit on the concrete floor holding my stomach.

Edward scowls at me and again tries to sit up which one of the cats didn't approve of. The beige-black fur cat hisses at him and he instantly lowers his head. Satisfied she doesn't even glance at me and starts licking her paw.

The cat with Black fur coat was licking Edward's face as if it was the best cat food ever lifted her head and I saw the most beautiful pair of blue eyes. 

"Meow" It purred and jumped out of Edward's chest. Edward heaved a sigh of relief as it came towards me with elegance a human can't walk on.

It came up to me and hissed showing her sharp teeth, I sucked in a breath as my laughs died down but my smile was still there.

"If you bite I'll bite back" I warned her. Edward stifled a laugh as the cat lowered her head.

Cautiously I extend my hand as my fingers graze with its fur, I grin as it purrs.

"Her name is Bellissima " Edward speaks the name rolling from his tongue flawlessly as I look at him.

"And that one?" I ask nodding towards the cat that looked at me with interest.

"Bob" Edward replied and I cocked an eyebrow at him. Bob stared hard at me even when Edward called his name.

"You named her-" I pointed at the cat in front of me "- Bellissima and you named him-" I pointed at the pair of cold eyes "-Bob?" Bob hissed at me as if understanding whatever I just said.

"This was Tristan's idea" Edward defended himself as Bob jumped of his abdomen and walked cautiously toward me. I was still scratching Bellis' ear so I grinned at Bob and waved him towards me.

Edward now free of the cats propped his elbows on the ground and lifted his head up. Looking at me curiously, he mostly kept his attention at Bob who was close to my extended hand. I smiled at the cautious figure as it walked towards me ignoring my extended hand which softly grazed by fur.

Bob licked my nose.

I laughed out loud as it meowed at me.

I lifted my eyes at Edward who looked strangely at me.

What I mouthed at him. He shook his head and stood up.

Abondoning Bob and Bellis I stood up too.

"Can you show me the house? I'm pretty lost" I scratched the back of my neck and smiled at him.

Edward said nothing but went out of the door, ignoring me and the cats who looked like they really need sleep.
