BLAKE WALTER

Chapter Three *White*

Coming back from work place wasn't hectic; the traffic was flowing well and it saves me sometime too. Passing by the lawn side, I saw my chubby neighbor standing at her doorway holding a tiny white creature, and then she bellowed.

"Hey young man, you back?"

"Yeah ma'am" I said as I moved close to her.

"Saw this little poor kitten at my gateway earlier this morning and it was in a bad shape, so I took and get her back to life."

"Wow that's great ma'am" I said looking at the little thing staring at me. I could imagine the poor thing thought within me like; 'You left me earlier today, here I am looking sweet, cheers to this lady here'. And I will be like; 'Well I tried for you, at least keeping you were thr the fat lady would see you was a great help too'.

"Umm actually, I am about to go sell it at the pet shop, you know I have many pets too so it will be too much for me keeping this too" she said.

"Hmmm....ok.... I think I would like to have her" I said.

"Wow that's so nice of you" she said."Yeah I know, for how much will she go?" I asked.

"Noooo!" she cried

" I can't sell her to you,

You just like ma kid. All I want is that you take care of her" she added while smiling>. Well that's how some people are, you can never understand human all the time, in the morning a man is smiling with you at noon he is a beast to avoid>>

"thank you ma'am" I said as I collect it from her.

I got into my abode looking so drained and thirsty, so I took her towards the kitchen compartment and kept her gently. Moved sluggishly to the fridge and took out milk and soda. I emptied the milk can into a small feeder for her and smiled as she sipped it with joy.

" I will just call you white cutie cutie.No sounds awful what about cutie white, aiy it's too stressful for my mouth."

"Ok Ok let's just settle for WHITE" I said and coincidentally she looked at me.

"Yeah, I can see you love the name don't ya ?"

Still moving lethargically; I went to the sitting room and gulped down my soda, by now I wasn't thinking about what happened at work, all I could think of is a woman cooking fro me at the tick.

How I slept wasn't the question, but how on Earth did she get in. Waking up , I perceived some aroma and map it out to the kitchen. With the top of my voice I asked " How did you get in here?"

She spun with a wicked smile and said

" I am a secret agent so it's no big deal, beside am your chótu mefom"

Due to my belly, I couldn't dispute anymore but just went to the sitting room holding WHITE in my arms. I switched on the TV; the prime minister was on the news saying something I could not grasp due to hunger. About three minutes later she came with a dish of food and juice, which she positioned on the dinning table .

"Blake food is ready!" she called

I wad just gazing at her mutedly, I sat on the dinning and she joined me smiling but I ignored her and ate the meal like a voracious dog.

"Can I ask you a question?" I asked

"Go on"she replied.

"Why did you call me Blake a while ago because it's unusual of you?" I asked with a calm tone.

"Just like that man or do you want meeee toooo saa......?"

"Don't try it!" I cut in.

We continued our meal, at interval our eyes came across each other and she will give a kind of evil smile.

RIZANIA was a spectacular girl; with her chocolate skin tone and round eyes, she had a short haircut due to the nature of her job, tall and possess a real rugged agent look. Like she wasn't bad for a partner, but not for me, I just don't have feelings for her.

It was 2100hrs and there was a downpour, she couldn't go back to her apartment, so I decided that she spends the night at my domicile.

She slept on my bed, while I took the big brown sofa, WHITE had a good meal and she slept near the kitchen compartment.

In my sleep I had a nightmare; RIZANIA and I were walking down the aisle. She had a wedding gown on her with a wicked smile, she kissed my cheek and I kissed her back. Then she pulled out a gun and shot at me injuring my left shoulder, at that instance I jumped up from the sofa, while gaining my self back I saw her looking at me with her malevolent grin.

" O you witch, what have you done, you shot at me?" I asked blaring loud.

"Hey, ease man. I was just....

Em...emmmm kissing you, but then you hit me at instance, so I gave you a blow on your shoulder you" she said.

" You did what? Who gave you such audacity RIZ?" I yelled at her.

"Ok I am sorry Blake, but you slapped me too" she said touching her left cheek.

"You asked for it witch!" I replied.

She stood up and dashed int o the bedroom, banged the door so hard that I remembered the sound of the gunshot in my dream.

It was daybreak and the sun was as weak as myself,

feeling lazy for work; I dragged myself to the bedroom and RIZ wasn't in, I guess she left early because of what went down between her and myself. "Who cares?" I said shrugging my shoulder.

WHITE! WHITE!? I called out and could hear her answering as she meow towards me.

"Hey ya, how is the morning?" I said to her while giving her some feed.
