Fall In Love With A Feline

Chapter 9

--**Abey's POV:

"Abey, please tell me if I make you unhappy. I really don't know how to handle something like this. If I do something that makes you sad, tell me, okay?" He asked as he pushes the remaining strands of my hair behind my ears.

"Then don't leave me alone here. That's the only thing you do that makes me sad. I already heard your I love you so, leaving me alone here is the only thing that makes me sad." I replied, looking at him as we both lie down on the bed, facing each other.

"Well, regarding that... I work so, I need to leave you but I'll come home right away. You don't need to worry." He smiled, caressing my cheek softly, assuring me with his words.

"But that's what's making me unhappy..." I whined softly, lower lip curling to a pout.

"Sorry, Abey. You still not used to it? You know I always leave for work." He asked.

"I am but, I always feel sad when you leave."

"I'm really sorry but work is necessary, I need to work for both of us now. You're not a cat anymore so I need to plan ahead and save more." He replied with the softest smile.

"Yes. I'm not a cat anymore... I'm Kevin's person." I smiled widely.

"Yes... I'll upgrade you to my girlfriend." He smiles shyly.

"A girlfriend is a person, right? I'm Kevin's girlfriend?"

He then nods gently, biting his lower lip before pulling me to a hug that locked me in his arms.

This is the first time he initiated a hug ever since I became human and in my whole existence, this has been the warmest and the greatest hug.

"Kevin, I... can't breathe!" I complained playfully followed by a chuckle which was muffled in his chest, hugging him back as tightly.

It's the first time I feel something like this as if I'm being elevated even if he's holding me tightly. My heart beats heaps of beats per second that passes, it's hard to contain but I super love this feeling.

I then look up to him with my widest smile, "Will Kevin tell me loves me every day so I won't mind you leaving me for work. So won't get lonely when you leave?"

"I love you." He replied quickly, smiling back at me. "I'll do my best to make you happy."

"You don't need to do anything now. I'm sooo happy." I muttered softly before rubbing my face on his chest. "I love you so much."

We didn't sleep right away. I asked what had happened when he left and he told me it was about work. I couldn't forget everything he said earlier. The look he had on his face had me so worried that I thought it was all because of me.

People from work had made trouble and he was called to fix it. But, as he was mending the problem, he heard someone of them say that they wouldn't have a problem if he was there in the first place if he didn't file a leave from work. That person even added the problem was made before he took the leave so it was his fault.

I really didn't understand what he's telling me. The words he uses are confusing but I just listened to him as he stroked my head.

"Can you bring me to work sometimes and point out who those mean people are so I can scratch the faces off? My nails are quite long now...You don't deserve to be treated like that." I pouted with a scowl on.

"It doesn't matter anymore. Once I'm home, every bad thing that happened within my day will get better. I have you now. Just smile for me, I know it will turn everything around."

"Okay. But still, I'll never forget this. They made you feel bad." I pouted within his embrace.

"They're no longer significant to me. You're everything to me." He whispers right above my head. 

"You're my everything to me too," I replied, clutching the fabric of his shirt from his back as equally tight as I hug him while inhaling his scent.

But with one look straight into his eyes at the brief moment, our embrace had loosened as our lips found each other, locking in the sweetest taste my mouth ever laid on. No food nor chocolate cake will ever top to how his kiss makes me feel.

Slow, tender and very, very passionate. I could feel how delicate I am as he kisses me.

Unlike the strokes of his gentle scratches that he gives me when my body was a cat - that form from the life that's almost like a dream now, these touches he lays on my body was so careful, making me feel like I'm the most fragile thing he owns, but I'm trembling with his every move.

"I love you." I whispered between the softest kisses, making him smile as he whispers back the same words.

I've never felt something like this when I was still a cat. The love is now a completely different feeling compared to how I'm feeling right at this very moment.

As leg then anchors against his leg, hand slipping in his shirt, feeling the warmth of his skin upon my palms while I was lock inside a strong arm of his.

I feel so hot.

And this heat is making me feel really greedy.

I pushed him over the bed then climb on top without parting from his lips. Never had I ever wanted to nibble his lips this bad. It's tasteless but yet it tastes so sooo good that I feel like I'm starting to lose my head over his lips.

"Abey..." He whispers as he called out my name, now breathless as I am but I can't stop. I couldn't stop.

I could feel the heat getting hotter and it's getting harder to control.

"Abey, wait..." He whispers again in between our kiss. I should've stopped but I'm beyond that already and I kept kissing him, now vigorously. He was holding me, squeezing every part he was able to hold which feels even hotter upon contact with this touch. 

I know he was trying to stop me but then, he stopped from resisting and just kept on holding me and kissing me back. Then, he pushes me back to bed just so he could climb on top of me again, straddling upon me, putting his weight on the lower half of my body.

I whined softly when his lips left mine but then, he kisses my cheek as if he's kissing my lips. However, his lips didn't stay long on that spot as it moves to my jaw, then my neck.

"Kevin..." I breathed as I call his name softly with my eyes shut tight, savoring the feeling of his lips on my skin.

But... is he grooming me?

I never knew that grooming feels this good. It doesn't feel anything like this when grooming myself when I was a cat, it never felt this good when other cats groomed me.

And this is just making me hotter than I was before.

But as quick as it got hotter, it was also quick to disappear when he suddenly pulled himself off of me looking quite shocked as if he had the scare of his life as he hops down the bed, panting for a second as he stares at me then my whole body.

"Kevin?" I called out questioningly.

"I'm sleeping at the couch for now." He said, quickly looking away with hands-on his waist.

"But why?" I then peeled myself from the comforts of the bed, confused why he suddenly changed.

"Not unless you wear your pajamas." He answered.

"But I hate wearing them..." I whined again, lower lip curling into a pout.

"Well then.. I go sleep at the couch." He replied, starting to walk off towards the door.

"I'll sleep on the couch too..." I then hopped off the bed.

"No! Stay here... just... no." He shook his head as he speaks while keeping gaze down the floor.

"But, I can't sleep without you," I muttered, taking his hand and pull it, urging him to come to bed with me.

"Pajamas can change my mind..." he retorted back, turning his head towards the door, still avoiding to look at me.

"But, I can't sleep with it on." I retorted softly.

"Then good luck sleeping alone." He then pulls his hand from me.

"Okay okay!!" I exclaimed, stomping my feet in defeat.

I went on wearing the satin pajamans that's the most bearable for me to sleep in then called him out to let him now I'm fully dressed, "All done." I mutter, looking down while nudging the hem of his shirt.

Then, he took my hand and pulled me gently towards the bed.

But he was quiet now. Unlike before when he always has his back on me, he now faces me and even gave me his arm to be his pillow.

"Kevin..." I called out softly, looking at him.

He then hummed in response, keeping his eyes closed.

I know he wanted to have some sleep now but I couldn't forget earlier.

Why did he suddenly stop?

Is there something wrong?

"Why did you stop? Did you taste something bad while grooming me?" I asked.

His eyes slowly flutter open, finding my eyes quickly at a gaze despite the dimly lit room.

"No... You don't taste bad." He answered in the softest but deep voice.

"Then, why did you stop? What's wrong?" I asked more.

"Nothing's wrong, not with you. I was just... I was getting uncontrollable and I don't want us to jump on to something at this point. I... I want to wait." He answers followed by a gentle sigh.

"Wait for what?" I asked in curiosity while my lower lip curled into a pout once more

"Do you know what could've happened if I continue? You see, what you think I was doing grooming to you but it's not for me. You're so innocent." A soft smile came across his lips as his fingers pinch my cheek.

"It's the best grooming I've had my entire existence. Never thought grooming can feel that good. It made me want to mate. I was so so so hot."

"You wanted to mate with me that bad?" He asked.

I nodded in response before saying, "Yes, because I love you."

"I want you too. But, can we wait?" He said.

I just can't understand why he wants to wait and for what?

He never gave me straight answers with all my questions last night and I ended up just nodding, recalling that I've agreed to myself not to be greedy.

The following day, Kevin had completely reverted back to his sweet self. I thought he would be just like his normal self after I transformed but he was sweet again,  He's no longer easily irritated with everything I do especially with my sudden feline behaviors and reflexes. He's also affectionate again, asking me to lay my head on his lap while he watches TV and I enjoy his gentle scratches, frequently plays with me with my old cat toys and he's more patient now in teaching me human's ways.

"Abey, wanna come with me to the groceries? We're running out of toiletries and stocked food supplies." He asked as he wears his jacket.

"No. I'm fine. I'll wait for you here. Don't stay too long." I answered, feeling instantly lonely. I know by now that groceries are necessary. He'd always asked me if I want to tag along with him.

It was nice when I was able to go out with him that one time but, I still don't like getting out of our home.

"Nothing's going to happen, Abey. You're going to with me. I'm not going to let anything hurt you." He tries to insist, taking my hand as he speaks.

"I know. But... I'll just stay here. I'll just be a drag if I get scared." I sighed, holding his hand back with both my hands.

"No. I promised to teach you everything. That also includes overcoming your fears. I know it's still scary for you because you were hurt when you were still a kitten but, not all humans will hurt you." He mutters with a hand on the side of my head before stepping close until he laid a kiss on my forehead. "What do you say? Let's go?"

I stared up at him straight in the eyes before finally sighing out loud in defeat, "Maybe next time, Kev." I then smiled softly.

He lets out a sigh as well smiling with pursed lips that made his cheeks fluff, showing that one dimple.

There are only limited things we could do since I refuse to go outside.

I'm still terrified of what's out there. But he tries to show me that I shouldn't fear so much what's out the confines of our home.

I just feel like there's something out there that's dangerous and I don't know why I always get that feeling.

When he came back, I did what's I usually do because I always miss him so much even if he just left me for only a couple of hours.

However, from the usual brown paper bags, he now also carries a rectangular, light pink bag.

"I have something for you that I think will suit you well." He said as he drops the groceries by the counter before walking back towards me.

"Are these new clothes. I think I don't need so much of it, you know I hate wearing clo-" I trailed off after I was able to take out one piece of clothing from the bag. It's white and it has little flowers on its hem and looked completely different from the ones we bought before.

"Do you like it?" He asked.

"It's pretty..." I muttered, staring at it while holding it up.

"It's called a dress. I'd love it if you'll wear that when we go out tomorrow. I think your white sneakers would go well with that dress but if you like new shoes, we can buy one tomorrow."

"Uhm... we're going out? Do I need to go out?" I asked, taking the dress in my arms then over my chest, embracing it. 

For the first time, I fell in love with this pretty clothing called a dress. 

"Just one time, Abey . Go out with me? Please?" he asked.

He had never asked me like this before, looking as if it would mean so much to him if I did what he asked, and with the way he looks at me...

"Can we be quick?" I asked.

"If you're still that afraid, yes, we'll be quick." He smiled softly to which I nodded in response to.

Come next day, after taking my time figuring out how to wear the dress, I simply comb my hair then put on my snickers.

My dress is weird... it shows off my shoulder and it's short tho I don't mind it. What's irritating about clothes is having too much of it to cover me and this one's just perfect despite the difference with the rest of my clothes.

Kevin had been waiting outside from our room and after I stepped out of the room, we both quickly turn our heads to each other's direction.

My breath hitched when he stood up from the couch and faced me.

He was wearing the same clothes he wears for work but this time, there's no glasses and his hair is pushed back, showing off how handsome he can be.

However, instead of saying something, we both just stood there, staring at each other.

I've always said I like looking at him without his glasses and the only time I can see his face without the specks is when he's sleeping.

"I was right." He muttered as he smiles.

I was snapped back to my senses after he spoke, "About what?"

"You'd look even lovelier with that dress."

My heart skipped a beat with his words. Not once did I ever hear him say I'm pretty, nor beautiful. Unexpectedly, he just called me lovely.

I might be wearing this dress frequently from now on then.

"Am I really?" I asked, feeling my cheeks warm up as my hands cupped it both.

"You always have been lovely. It's just that, that dress made you even lovelier."

I walk towards him, hugging him immediately while my face buries in his chest, hiding it out of sudden embarrassment I've never felt while my heart now beats crazy as if there's something inside it that wants to get out. I then felt his arms around me, caging me in a warm embrace I love so much.

Looking up to him, I feel almost fainting when he lowers his face towards mine. I should've been used to his kiss by now but, it could always send me dazed and lost when our lips touch.

It was swift yet tender and sweet and seeing that soft smile across his lips adds up to that giddy feeling I'm now having.

"Ready?" He asked.

I almost instantly forgot my unwillingness to got out. Maybe it was from his compliment and his kiss but nevertheless, I'm now looking forward to where we'll go today, what new experience I'll come across and with all these to expect, my human is with me, I've got nothing to fear.

He's not just my human but he's also my person and I'm his girlfriend.
