The Lonely Girl & The Black Cat

Chapter 1: Shadow's Light

Irene's POV

WHY THE HELL IS THERE A MAN IN BED?!?!?!?! I was about to scream when suddenly the man cover my mouth with his hand, pulled me back on my bed & laid in top of me. I blushed while staring at his beautiful blueish purple eyes with his jet black hair. "Don't scream. There's no need for it anyway. I'm not going to rape you or anything." He said as he remove his hand from my mouth & went back to sleep. I wanted to get started with my morning routines but with this guy on top of me, I can't go anywhere.

I tried to wiggle out of him bit it only made him hug tighter around my waist. "Ummm... Who are you?" I asked, curious of why is this man in my room. He just showed his choker & rolled off me. That choker.... IT'S SHADOW'S CHOKER!!!! "Wait, does that mean-- ?" I was shocked, SHADOW BECAME A HUMAN?!?!?! I only heard him grunt in reply, & took it as a yes.

Seeing him probably not getting up soon, I went to take a shower. Maybe I'll ask him later. After 20 minutes of shower, I went to my closet, choosing what to wear. I'm feeling like wearing black & pastel purple today. I took out my pastel purple tank top with the words 'Street Fighter' in white on it, my black ruffled skirt that reached just 3 inches above my knees, a black leather jacket, black combat boots, along with a white & pastel purple hat (the hat looks like the one she's wearing at the story cover) &  white fingerless biker gloves.

After getting dressed up, I noticed Shadow was flipping through a book. It took me a minute to realise that it was my book filled with the poems that I wrote. I snatched it away from him & held it against my chest. "Wh-what do you think you're doing? Looking through people's belonging without permission?" I asked. "Pretty nice poems you got there." He said while walking towards me. He leaned in closer. "Shadow's Light was my favourite. A love story about someone who has been alone for a long time, meeting someone that makes everything better. Sounds like what's happening between us right now." He smirked.

I blushed even more. "Wh-what happened? Why are you human? Aren't you a cat?" I stuttered. "Do you have knack on stuttering every time you talk? I'm human because of your wish." He explained. "My... wish?" I asked, confused. "Yeah. You wished that there would be someone that you could tell everything to. And imagined a cat turning to human. That's why I'm here & human." He told me. I was surprised. I only thought that was just nothing more than just an imagination.

When I was about to ask another question, I heard my mom shouted, "Irene, honey! Your father & I got an invitation to a nearby hot springs from our friends! We won't be back until after 2 weeks! Take good care of yourself, okay? Good bye, hon!" "Okay, take care you two! Bye!" I shouted back & heard the front door closing. Wait... that makes... I'M GOING TO HAVE TO STAY WITH A MAN ALONE FOR 2 WEEKS! I almost fainted at the thought when suddenly I felt a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. "Hey, are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine." I told him. "Go & take a bath, I'll prepare some clothes for you. We're going out to buy you some clothes & other things." I said to him while handing him a towel. He went to the bathroom & I went to my walk-in closet. Good thing I have a lot 9f oversized shirts. I grabbed a black long sleeved shirt & black jeans. It seems like it would fit him perfectly. "I'll put your clothes in front of the bathroom." I told him & heard him muttering something & I took it as a yes.

I went downstairs to prepare some breakfast since mom didn't leave any. I took out the ingredients to make pancakes & caramel coffee. I got started right away.

Shadow's POV

I was taking a shower & grabbed the scented soap. It smells like lavender with a hint of cinnamon. Just the way she smelled. I blushed a bit at the thought of her. Her cute sleeping face, her expression when I teased her, her beautiful--! WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?!?!? I shook my head & turned off the shower. I walked out of the bathroom after drying myself & wrapped myself with the towel, & found the clothes she prepared. I put it on & it fits perfectly on me. Hmm... she sure loves to sleep in oversized shirts.

I went downstairs & saw her making pancakes with a smile plastered across her face. I looked over her shoulders. "Pancakes for breakfast? Sounds delicious." I said, causing her to jump & fall. I caught her in time before she hit the floor. I helped her stand up. After finishing the last pancake, I helped her clean up & soon after that we ate breakfast together.

"So your purpose of being here is?" She asked. I looked up at her. "As I told you earlier., my purpose of being here is to pull you out of your loneliness & help you get through it." I told her. She seemed a bit shocked. "No more Miss Lonely. Every day & night, I'll make sure you're not lonely or sad." I said with a small smile. Her face softens & continues to eat.
