“Don’t do it, man.” You waggle your finger.
“Meow.” Bradford Jr. jumps off the chair… towards his plate. “Meow.” He thinks it’s time for his dinner.
“Oh, right, it’s feeding time.” You sometimes forget since Ruby gets this done first. Sadly, she isn’t home yet, and you want to talk to her.
Suddenly, your apartment door bursts open!
“I’m so sorry, Bradford Jr! I forgot I had to feed you!” Ruby ran from where she was to get here. “I was having so much fun with the others.”
“Hey! I was waiting for you!” You smile upon seeing the redhead.
“Johnny! You’re home!” Ruby didn’t notice. “Huh? You were looking forward to seeing me?” That’s not how you phrased it.
“Meow.” Bradford Jr. starts tapping his empty plate. He says ‘Your talk can wait, this boy is hungry.’
“I’ll get to it! Johnny, please, sit down and relax. I’ll take care of everything.” Ruby walks past everyone, leaves her stuff in her room, and goes to the kitchen for the cat food. “I love what you did to the couch! Ms. Suan De is going to stay another night with us?”
“As long as she wants.” You nod.
“Perhaps I should lend her one of my tiny beds instead? Let me remind you that I combined them to have a standard size.” Ruby smiles. She loves to share!
“Uhm, don’t sweat it.” You don’t want to make Ruby’s stay more uncomfortable. You’d offer your bed first. “How did things go with the band?”
“Fantastic, I’m having so much fun!” Ruby gets giddy just thinking about it. She deposits a small fraction of food on the plate for Bradford Jr.’s standards. He starts eating like his cat life depends on it. “It’s truly wonderful to learn so much together.”
“That’s great!” You smile back.
“Were you worried that we wouldn’t get along?” Ruby asks with a smile on her face.
