Chapter 8: The beginning
Joey was with Puss doing night duty at the door of the palace, a long time ago they did not meet in the same shift so he took the opportunity to tell his friend about his relationship with Claire, he did not want to keep a secret to his almost brother.
-If I tell you something, you promise that you won't be upset? - Joey asked.
-That depends on many things- joked Puss.
-It's serious - he said raising an eyebrow.
- I promise - he said turning calm.
-I'm in ... something - he began to tell but his friend interrupted him.
- Miracle of the gods! Who is it? - he asked.
He rolled his eyes and continued.
-This ... is not from here ... Do you remember the lady I rescued in that protest? - Joey asked again.
-Wh ... What ?! - He asked surprised to realize.
-You promised! - Joey accused him and gave him a blow.
- What a surprise! - added the orange cat. I could not accuse him of the tremendous mess he got into since he would be spitting at the sky. -How long ago?
- Several weeks - he answered - I became close to her since she looked for me and then we took the next step.
-If you get caught you'll be fried, my friend - Puss worried.
-I don't give a damn ... You know my position about this- said his friend.
-I suppose you'll leave here soon, will not you? - Puss asked.
-Not for now, but if it's in our plans for that reason I decided to tell you if you want to join, this would serve you a lot so you get away from Dulcinea.
-Yes, it's a good idea - said Puss.
-How did you do with the super nice princess? - Joey asked.
-I was fine until the King decided to promote me to her personal bodyguard- he answered not very happy.
- Shit - said his friend.
-I thought the same - Puss said.
-That was caprice of her that's for sure, she noticed that you're avoiding her, be careful - said Joey fearing that he would fall again.
-Nah, don't worry- the disinterested said, this surprised the golden cat.
-It's not easy to disenchant someone ... Who are you stalking? - Asked
He forgot how direct his friend could be!
It turns out that a particular cat with pretty eyes was stealing most of his thoughts, who has not seen in a month, he thought he was going to pass the "charm" but it was just the opposite ...
He missed her ... Puss didn't know if she was all right, if she had been captured or if she was in jail ... difficult to know if he didn't have to locate her.
In fact, he was considering going to the lower area to look for her and talk about it. What did she think? What was just a game? Did she notice the chemistry that formed every time they saw each other, or was it just him?
- Let's say the view was nice - he said. Your friend laughed - I'm curious ... At what moment do you come together? - He asked to divert the subject.
-Ah ... In a tavern that few know, everyone can go there, there is no discrimination, - he told her.
With this new information to Puss he thought he could go someday and try his luck to see if he would meet her.
- And you didn't tell me anything, wretch - accused him.
- I didn't know what your reaction would be - he defended himself.
- Nor that I was in favor of these- said the pointing to the palace.
His friend rolled his eyes - I'll take you one day from this - said Joey a bit relieved as he had taken a weight off,
-I would seem ideal - he said sarcastically.
- You complain like a girl - claimed his friend and the orange cat gave him a claw at the nape.
Dulcinea was happy to have achieved Puss, since the time was getting shorter and her sisters were far ahead. The princess hoped with this she could regain control. She would have to act well, so he would believe the story of her "forbidden" crush for him.
On that morning she was waiting for him to say his homework and things like that.
- Come in - said the princess to feel that he had touched the door. Puss entered the room.
-Good afternoon. What does Princess Dulcinea need?
-It's your first day of bodyguard, there are some things that I have to tell you.
If this had happened several months ago Puss would have liked the idea of this work but with what happened earlier in the tour that he had to do with her, he didn't want to be near the princess, was very disappointed and was afraid to stumble with the same stone. Although the feelings were not the same as before, the issue was "delicate."
-Your work hours will be varied when I need to go somewhere, you will have to accompany me, inside the palace it is not necessary. This will depend on the days - she explained.
It was stupid. She did not even need a bodyguard. What was her eagerness? Play with him?
He continued to pay attention to the indications for a while until ...
-I need to talk about another topic with you - she said - Puss seriously, I love you, only I can't show it openly ... and now ... I can ... - she suggested changing her attitude abruptly.
- Why didn't you make that clear before? - he asked.
- I know you have feelings for me - she said evading the question - But you have to understand that my situation is complicated.
Yes sure ... it wasn't difficult to talk about the subject and it practically rubbed him in the face that it was impossible, very difficult to insinuate and then ignore him.
-Princess Dulcinea ... I don't want to talk about this, I just want to fulfill my duties.
-Why you don't believe me? - she demanded.
-Because in the tour that I accompanied you, it was quite clear to me that I'm just a pawn and I have to stay in my place - he answered with sincerity.
-So, you didn't really love me - she accused him with anger.
-I only have you esteem - Puss lied - Also, if your father finds out he won't let it happen, it's better to keep things the way they are - he tried to evade.
- My father isn't a problem - she said sure.
- Look - he said firmly - If you had told me this before, I would have waited for you - he said with sincerity again.
- Do you have another? - demanded to know Dulcinea in a categorical way.
He didn't understand the reason for her reaction, as if she was trying to get something ... he didn't know what, but it shouldn't be any good. It would be necessary to stay on the margin to avoid falling into her trap.
-I'm not with anyone - he answered.
-So! - she said.
-So what? - He asked again.
- Why do you make yourself beg? - accused Dulcinea.
- It's not about that, you like me as a friend, it's the only thing I can offer, maybe I confused things. I'm not feeling well - lied
- Get out of here - she demanded. He said goodbye with a bow.
Dulcinea didn't know when it had escaped her hands. It was going to be harder than she thought.
It was time to change the tactic but it would take time.
Kitty was in a meeting with Claire and Joey were watching the next steps of the plan.
- Or not Kitty? - Joey asked catching her flying low.
Lately she has been distracted, the truth is that she hasn't stopped thinking about the events that happened recently and especially in him. Kitty wanted to see him again to see what was going on between them, how he would react to meeting again. They no longer faced each other but ended up in something else, it was difficult to explain, she knew they were enemies but there was "something" there that made the situation change into something else, a new environment ...
It had never happened to her.
Now that she wanted to meet him, it didn't happen and before it happened often. Things of the universe she supposed.
-Eh yeah ... Wait, what? - she asked. Joey raised an eyebrow.
-What would be better to get some carts- he repeated.
-Yes, it's a good idea - she agreed - Although we still do not know the day.
-That we have to see him with Noah and Carlos - said Claire.
-Yes it's true- Joey said - What day will they come?
-I think that the other week - her friend answered.
-We could check the house to recognize land - the black cat added.
-It seems good, so we have more information - said the guard.
- Then it will be necessary to define the day of the inspection of the house perhaps we can even hide things there - Claire added.
-I agree with you. As for the list of people who will escape with us ... Who will be in charge?
- You could take care of that, honey - said Joey looking at his girlfriend.
-Yes, no problem - she said happy with the idea
-Remember to include the old man who gave us the information, please, I promised him - said Kitty.
-Don't worry, I know it's important especially because of the story you told us - said her friend. Kitty nodded gratefully.
-With this we would be ready, I will find out the matter of the wagons.
- And I'll take care of the house - Kitty said.
-We try to have this ready as soon as possible - Joey added and both cats nodded in agreement.
Several days have passed and Puss has not had the good fortune to meet her, it even complicated him since he had less and less time. All thanks to Dulcinea, who kept him busy. This was getting to a point Puss could not stand her.
The good part, finally could know the tavern that his friend mentioned to him also. Puss meet Claire, who would be like a sister-in-law, was very friendly with him, Puss noticed that she had good intentions, especially with Joey, she took care of him a lot, like now, the poor asked them once in a while if they had followed or if they were in danger, etc.
About the plan, he hoped it would work so that they could live without pressure or persecution and leave that realm.
Puss looked at the place, it was a pleasant atmosphere, everyone enjoyed different ways, there was a dance sector accompanied by composers who played different types of music, really good. Another place was like a restobar to enjoy an aperitif or drink.
It was true that you could share between different social classes, he could recognize several nobles and one or two that belonged to the squadron and also saw those who lived in the low sector, he noticed that they could share without problems. Not for nothing was that place kept full by the same, he maintained the hope that he could find her there.
That afternoon Kitty had arrived tired after a busy morning, had to participate in a robbery for the group, she couldn't leave those tasks aside, despite the fact that she was already working on the plan.
She was disappointed to see that she didn't meet the orange cat in that group she confronted and thanks to being distracted, she got a cut on her arm. Apart from this in several of the robberies that she has participated, she noticed that part of the Royal Guard appeared to stop them but he wasn't there...
-Kitty! What happened to your arm? - Claire exclaimed when she saw the wound
-A small scratch, nothing serious - reassured the female cat.
-Yeah, sure - she said rolling the eyes - So if I don't come to see you don't tell me - Claire scolded.
- Stop being so paranoid! I was going to notify you but I was tired - The female cat couldn't continue because she had gone to look for her improvised kit. Once she returned, Claire sat next to her and checked the wound. This was close to the shoulder and it was not very deep, thank goodness.
- I'll hold your hand because this will burn you - Claire warned, Kitty nodded. Subsequently, she gave him a clear liquid.
-Auch! - complained Kitty almost biting her tongue.
-I told you, - said the two-colored cat - I tell you something? Yesterday I met a friend of Joey.
- Seriously? - she asked with difficulty while enduring the pain.
-Yes, also belongs to the Royal Guard, is very nice.
This caught her attention.
-How is he? - she asked curiously.
- Does it matter? - asked her friend.
-I just want to know, I recently had a mishap with one of them, I do not want any surprise - she said.
-It is orange fur and uses a peculiar boots ... am - thoughtful Claire - He has green eyes.
Kitty started coughing suddenly. Maybe it's him!
-What happens? - she asked again.
-I just ... I got stuck- she said recovering the air.
At last, she had a starting point!
-Ready, I'm finished - said Claire.
-Thank you - said Kitty.
-You're welcome! But you tell me immediately for the other one!
- Yes Claire - she answered with reluctance.
As much as Puss and Kitty began to go more often to the tavern but never met. It was as if one came and the other had already left and vice versa or one of them was not going and the other was going, things like that.
It was frustrating ... But that night was over ...
Puss walked among the people looking for a familiar silhouette. A while ago, he had arrived at the place, there were more people than usual, apparently, and there was a kind of activity that night. Now he was sitting watching the crowd and in an instant, he thought he had seen her but Puss wasn't sure.
The orange cat was anxious because he wanted to meet Kitty, because he had been looking for her for a long time. He decided to get up from his seat and walk through the sector passing through the crowd looking at the silhouette again.
The silhouette had her back to him, so he was not sure if it was her. Until she turned to look to one side.
Puss could recognize that profile. It was Kitty.
The female cat was going to keep walking, but he stopped her.
-In addition to liking the danger, do you also like to sneak away? - he asked.
Kitty stopped short to hear his voice, she turned immediately confirming the suspicion of her, smiled in a funny way while watching him directly in his eyes.
Something had in his eyes, something that attracted her, it was as if those eyes took over her senses when making those kinds of visual contact ... and also… when she was close to him.
It was crazy!
-Mmm ... yes, I also like it. I entertain a lot - she replied.
- I must admit it's interesting - said Puss approaching Kitty.
-I suppose ... - she said getting a bit nervous - Are you coming to do justice? - She asked who does not want the thing.
-Something like that ... like an interrogation - the orange cat insinuated already in front of her.
- I would like to know the name of the cat with whom I always end up kissing - she said playfully.
-Ah ... well that's not my problem - said the innocent making himself.
-You're the one who cornered me - she accused him - So you're the one stealing kisses.
Touché.
-Yes, in that you are right - said funny - My name is Puss.
- Nice to meet you, "she said." Mine is Kitty, but I suppose you already knew, Mr. Guardia, "she joked.
- Be careful what you say - warned playfully.
- Or if not what? - she tempted.
-There will be consequences ... - he insinuated
Kitty smiled mischievously and took it as a challenge. The female cat leaned into Puss's ear and whispered.
- Catch me if you can - she said moving away and before running, she winked at him. The orange cat took a while to react but followed the step in the same way.
Her essence was hypnotizing.
Kitty went quickly through the different areas of the place to the outside, it was a kind of passage with stairs that took you to other floors. She started jumping to get to the top that only took a few minutes. To his surprise, Puss soon caught up with her.
After a while, she started to laugh, she was having a good time. First time she ran for entertainment and not for a pursuit of guards.
They skipped several roofs skillfully. Kitty was so focused that he didn't catch her that she didn't notice that the road ended, she stopped abruptly but Puss did not. Consequence? The orange cat collided with her and they fell.
Luckily, there were some looms that were stretched to the ground a few meters below them, the cloth endured the fall but it was a lack of control, it was rolling until in one part the cloth was torn.
It was a single disaster, a hill of fabrics. Puss emerged and looked for the cat to see how she was. After removing a little, he finally found her and removed the cloth that covered her. She was laughing a lot.
-It was fun, was not it? - she continued happily and sat down.
Yes, the truth that had been entertaining, a long time ago, that didn't have fun as if that was like feeling really alive besides being out of the ordinary. In the end, he nodded and ended up joining her laughter.
Without warning, Puss took one of Kitty's hands, to attract her and plant a surprise kiss. Kitty for her part corresponded to him. The female cat missed that feeling and let herself go for the moment, enjoying it every second. The kiss became more passionate, where she ran her hand over his neck while he caressed her waist. Without noticing Kitty was caught between the floor and him.
-I have complied with what you asked me - he said provocatively. The dark cat laughed.
-It was time - she said - I must admit that I missed these meetings with you - she added a little more serious.
- You say it from the heart? - he asked. She looked at him deeply.
-What do you think? - she asked again.
- Your eyes tell me it's a yes - answered Puss. She smiled sincerely and he returned that smile, giving her another kiss.
- I looked for you for a long time because I want some answers- Puss said.
-About what? - She was interested.
-What do you think about this? - he asked.
Kitty thought well what she was going to say before answering - After pondering it a lot ... and assuming it ... - she said - What is started must be continued - she added a bit insinuating - There is no denying that there is something here. Do not?.
- For much that we wanted to avoid it? - Puss asked.
-Because we knew the consequences this could bring? - she said.
-And what is not allowed socially? - he said.
-What do I give a fuck about that? - Kitty said, the latter was funny to Puss.
-So... Are you willing to take all the risks that will entail and move on?
It was too late to avoid it, what does that matter?
Kitty raised her head to whisper again in his ear as if it were a secret.
-Did I tell you I like danger? - she reminded him.
Puss looked at her and they kissed each other passionately again. They were sealing the covenant.
They both went to a more hidden place where they talked about their lives, each listening attentively to the story of the other. They also touched on how this affected their day and each time they met, there was "something" growing and they didn't want to recognize. Also, it seems that they were synchronized because they agreed in many of their thoughts to feel strange, confused, even anxious and that they thought they were doing crazy thinking it was their illusion, but it wasn't, the feeling was mutual and indeed the chemistry was always there from the moment they met for the first time.
It was a mess when it was time to say goodbye, they didn't want to do it but unfortunately, the circumstance didn't allow them. They agreed that they would try to get together every night if Puss's work allowed it and be careful.
Before leaving home, they said goodbye with a tender kiss. Each of them went their own way with a smile on their face and much more relieved.
This is how the relationship between Puss and Kitty began.
