What was it about him? Maybe how he always tried to get my attention by flirting with other queens. I like queens, really I do, but there is something about him I can't shake. Was I…gay?
"Alonzo! Alonzo hurry up we're going to the river!" Lifting my head I saw Munkustrap looking up at me with a huge smile on his face. "Come on,"
Jumping down I met Munkustrap and we took off for the river. The Junkyard had many new things. A part of the fence was taken down and now we have woods we can hunt and play in. And also we have a river in the middle of the forest. We all loved it. Pouncival, Mistoffelees, Tumblebrutus, Admetus, Electra, Etcetera, and Victoria preferred to stay at the Yard playing with the new stuff that came it seemed every day. On the other hand, Munkustrap, I, Plato, Demeter, Bombalurina, Jemima, Tugger, Rumpleteazer, Exotica, and Mungojerrie loved to play at the river.
Running through the woods we met up with Rumpleteazer and Plato. Walking the rest of the way I couldn't help but think Tugger would be there. I knew he would so why do I always get so nervous? He likes queens I like queens. Why worry?
"Hey guys," Mungojerrie greeted as he say us come to the river side. The river was wide and not too deep but not so shallow it was no fun. There was grass all along the river with rocks and a few fallen trees we use as seats.
"Hey Jerrie," Plato greeted him. He went over at sat by Demeter who blushed. Bombalurina gave them each a smile and went back to massaging Tugger's shoulders. I lost my breath as I saw Tugger smiling at me. Why did he make me nervous? I hated not knowing why.
"Hey Lonzo," I turned and saw Cassandra. What was she doing here? "Uh hi Cassandra, what are you doing here?"
"Can't I visit you?" She pressed against me and flicked my nose. I shifted uncomfortably, "Uh…sure…I guess," I didn't like Cassandra, she was pushy and bossy and not my type. Why did she have to flirt with me though, everyone was looking at us and I knew a pair of dreaming blue eyes was dancing with delight.
I got away from Cassandra and noticed that Coricopat was here. She must have of came with him. "Hey Corico, how are you?"
"Fine Alonzo," he stood, "do me favor, stay away from my girl." He pushed past me and I turned and watched him leave, "No problem," I said under my breath. Getting into the river I sighed, the water felt nice against my fur. It was warm out and the temperature of the water was perfect for swimming.
"Mind if I join you?" Bombalurina asked.
"No go ahead," If she was here then where was Tugger? Jumping in she popped up not too far from me. Swimming over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Something she always did with the toms the queens too if I remember correctly.
"What's new?" She asked.
(Well nothing really just maybe the fact I might be gay and I don't know what to do.) "Nothing much,"
Before long all the cats were in the water swimming around and talking. Getting out with not many noticing I went for a walk in the woods. It was peaceful and it felt nice after the amount of swimming I did.
Stopping at the waterfall that was there, which I thought was so cool. We have a river and a waterfall. I sat on the big rock and watched the water fall from the high top. I saw a leaf come down the long fall and get beat around by the forceful water. I watched it and I couldn't help but think I was that leaf; falling down a long and brutal way lost and alone.
"Mind if I join?" I turned at the voice. It was Tugger. (Oh boy,) "Sure," I said softly trying to keep my cool. He sat down next to me and we were quiet for a few minutes watching the water and woods around us.
"What's with you anyway?" he turned and looked at me.
"Nothing, why?" I looked at him.
"You seem to be a little distant. Cassandra was even flirting with you and you didn't even touch her. You feeling alright?"
(Thanks for your concern,) "Yeah I'm fine," (Liar! You dirty liar!)
I looked at him for moment hoping he wouldn't be looking at me. He wasn't. I smiled slightly and looked at his features; gorgeous eyes, stunning lips, flawless body, and charming attitude. My smile widen and I caught myself looking down his body. I couldn't help myself, believe I tried.
He turned in my direction and I looked away quickly, "You want to go up there?" I looked at where he was pointing and it was the high top were the water feel. My paws pricked with happiness, "Sure,"
Standing we went up there. The view was completely different. You could see the canopies of the trees and the light blue sky above them. "It's nice,"
"Yeah it is," Tugger said. I walked around me and brushed his tail lightly against the backs of my legs. I knew it wasn't on purpose but it felt so good. My body reacted to the touch and I wanted more. Even though more would not come.
We stayed up here for a while then headed back to the others. At the sun we headed back to Junkyard. I went into my den and slept with a smile on my face. I was smiling like a love sick teenager and I was alright with that.
