Animals
Miria browsed through another wikipedia page with lightning speed and made a few notes in her moleskin notepad. Galatea, meanwhile was laying on the couch reading a volume of "Bakuman" and occasionally sending Miria troubled gazes…
"Are you sure?" said Galatea, flipping a page.
"Yes."
Galatea sighed and went back to reading as Miria did more browsing for info.
Click, click, click, mouse-wheel creaking, the rustling of pages…
"Are you really su-u-ure?" Galatea started again.
"Yes. And would you quit it already… I've made up my mind, and you said you're not against it…"
"Well, not that there's something wrong with it… But are you really-really sure?" Galatea flipped over and crawled a little closer on the couch.
"For the 6th time now, yes. Don't you remember Flora's cat?"
"That's one pussy I can't forget… What? What?" asked Gala as Miria gave her a glare.
"Nothing… So you DO remember the cat that she had in her room…" said Miria after a short pause.
"Yeah, I think it was an orange one. I guess she likes them too. Spacious room she had also…" Gala started to drift off into memories of her PimpLatea period…
"So I decided that if we're gonna have a pet it should be something like that."
"Cause cats are cute and you don't have to walk them…" added the long-haired blond.
"That too. So I'm asking again, which breed would you prefer? I'm perfect with any, so it's your call."
Galatea sighed once more and came closer to look over Miria's shoulder into the 'venue'
"How about Siamese? They're so slick." she said, sounding bored.
"Yeah, and also they'll claw out your clothes collection in a matter of minutes."
"If you know it so good yourself, you choose, Miri." Gala almost moaned that part out, she wanted Miria back into a more playful mode rather than her 'serious Miria is serious business' mode.
"It has to be our mutual decision." Miria added while looking for other breeds.
"…"
"Why the silence?"
"I don't think I need another pet." Gala's voice got sneaky and Miria knew that wasn't a good sign for her.
"What do you mean by 'another' pet?"
"I mean a certain kitty, who's taking up all of my time, yet when I get home tired from work and need her at my legs, she goes into a 'feed me! and I'll sleep' phase."
Miria cracked her a brow. Not funny Gala…
"But her 'meow' is too cute to be real." Galatea started thinking about buying her lover some nekomimi…
Miria must've caught on to her thoughts and began a counter…
"Actually it's rather that I'm with an animal here…"
"You don't say?" said Gala moving in closer.
"Yeah, but she's not my pet, but rather it's an almost extinct bird, who demands all the spotlight, and I'm it's zookeeper…"
Galatea rotated Miria's office chair, so that they were face-to-face
"Are you calling me a peacock or something?"
"Not at all, Gala, I just said 'rare bird', maybe I meant an owl or bird of paradise…"
"I don't want to be a bird, Miria…"
"What do you want to be, then, a lioness or some other majestic creature?"
"A lioness has no mane. That's not beautiful. And right now…" she moved in closer, so close that Miria felt Gala's hot breath, "I just want to be your kitty…"
Miria hesitated only for second and then gave Galatea a gentle kiss. Soon they fell into the couch dropping Gala's manga unto the floor…
Then Miria broke the kiss and started taking off her top, and in the meantime asked,
"So what cat do you want?"
"Yours. Now shut up and meow…"
"I think I'll roar instead."

The next day their neighbors asked them to 'calm down those wild cats they had home.' Gala was too busy laughing to answer so Miria had to do the apologizing.
And later Miria ended up buying a Turkish Angora.
