After about 2 days, Pussycat still hadn't spoken to Dodger, as much as she wanted to, she couldn't forgive him for letting her and Oliver get arrested. Pussycat? The devil himself asked as he climbed the basement stairs.

A dodger? She asked, feeling a little strange talking through the door in the alley. - Pussycat? A familiar voice asked from inside, and she breathed a sigh of relief, " Are you okay?"

"Not really," she said, and Dodger looked at the latch at the top before standing on the box and opening it

-After I was caught, I fainted in court, my dear old man took me to his home, where I fed and everything, and then I wrote a letter, which said that someone knows my mom and they want me to meet them, Mr. Brownlow, the man who cared about me, needed someone who would take away his book money.,

I see another secret, but it was Fagin and Nancy, you they locked me in here before you take the money, she explained they could not leave me alone, right? She asked.

Dodger eventually came back with a slice of bread and a sausage on a plate, he slid it through the bottom latch before standing on the drawer and opening the top latch to look through the "Cat", he called out, she rolled her eyes and leaned against the wall

"Come on, Cat, I brought it specially, it's a sausage, yes, I love a sausage," Dodger said, trying to convince her to either eat or talk to him.

You were right behind me, weren't you? How was I to know that the bell-ringer would catch you? Dodger asked, turning away from the latch and sitting on the box. "next time I run faster," he added, " they've been kind to me, and now they'll know I'm a thief, they'll know I stole them!""

She shouted from her small prison, " Why are you worried about them? Rich people, they expect a lot of them, more than enough, we wouldn't get them if we asked, and end up starving, so we take, and they won't find anything about you, because they'll forget about you, so do us a favor and eat it all"

Dodger said in an exasperated tone at the end of the conversation, she heard the plate slide inside and Dodger looked back over the latch. "that's it, buddy, dig it, huh?" Go back to where you belong with Yah mukus, " he said, and immediately there was a knock on the door, and then there was a crash from inside that he threw food at dodger

"Be like that, then see if I don't care," Dodger snapped, sliding the latch and sitting down on the box, and she looked down at him, and to my surprise he looked guilty. - Dodge.. "I know you're mad at me, but I just wanted to tell you something," he said

"i know where nolly is, i can take you to him, i don't have to, but i'll do it," he said, and he perked up and shuffled as fast as he could toward the stairs. "will you do it?" i asked hopefully.,

"I would do it for you, dear," he said, taking her hand, and she let him lead her out of the house to Oliver.

I'm so sorry, Oliver, you know I haven't spoken to Dodger since he told me about your arrest, " she said, and he came closer and leaned against the door, looking up at her. "did she struggle to trust him, Pussycat?"

She smiled: "Of course it's little Oliver, yes, now he looks like her little brother,

"I know, but I can't help but feel guilty about all this," she said, "Please don't get upset, I don't blame you," he said, and Kitty sighed and put her hand through the latch hole so he could take my hand, he did. dodger told me about my mom, but i told him not to tell him. What kind of friend is this? Oliver asked. She sighed and saw a small but vicious-looking dog being followed by Sykes, brandishing a club on a chain, she swallowed and took a step back.

Kitty pounded her fists on the iron door once more: "It's no use," said Dodger behind her, she screamed in frustration and slid down the wall with her back: "I can't let him go again, Dodge," she whimpered looking at him.

he sighed, and she shivered slightly, " Are you cold? he asked. She nodded. Dodger sat up quickly, but he relaxed.

what are you doing?" She sat down at his feet and smiled shyly at him."

With a sigh, Rogue sat up and grabbed her hands, "what happened, baby?"

He watched as she seemed to be going through some internal argument before placing her hand on his cheek."

"But why?" I'm fine"

"Dodger"

He sighed again, he could never lie to her

She ran her thumb over his cheekbone, a comforting feeling. It always amazed him how one touch of hers, or even her presence, could either calm him down or drive him into a frenzy.

"Talk to me."

"I didn't have the best upbringing, my dad was a drunk, my mom was a mess, and I was just a drunken mistake. He was startled to see a drop of tears fall on his hand, and when he looked up, he saw that she was trying to hold back her tears. His eyes widened because he had no idea how to react to people crying.

"Don't cry, you know I can't stand tears."

"I don't know what happened to you in your past, I'll never be able to figure it out, but I promise I won't let anyone hurt you.""

He kissed her lightly on the lips: "I know you won't, you know I'll never let anyone hurt you, right?"

She nodded silently and pressed her lips gently to his. He put his hands on her waist, and she immediately wrapped them around his neck, playing with his hair. before you pull it on yourself. Tearing apart to get some air

Tearing himself apart for air, his lips immediately moved to her neck, and he placed soft butterfly kisses up her neck and along her chin before returning to her lips, kissing more hotly now.

He slowly pulled her to him and lay between her legs without breaking the kiss. Hesitantly, she tugged at the hem of his shirt. pulling back, he stared at her for a few moments, breathing hard.

"are you sure?""

"i've never been so sure in my life."
