Sorry it took so long, all! I've been working on a novel...
This was prompted by greenkittycat!
"Alfie, can I ask a favor of you?" Amber smiled sweetly at her boyfriend.
"Sure, Ambs, what is it?" he asked, pocketing his gameboy.
"My aunt is going to be gone for a few hours today, and needs someone to watch her pets, can you help me?"
"Sure, I love animals," Alfie grinned.
"Me too," Amber giggled and skipped out of the room. "Be ready by three."
"Thank you so much for watching my babies," the round woman cooed.
Her hair, short and thin, was brown and her eyes, a blue-grey. She was dressed in a dull purple dress with a white shawl thrown around her shoulders.
"It's no problem, Aunt Margret," Amber smiles sweetly at the chubby woman.
"Alright, I'll be back by noon,"
"Oh, do you want to say goodbye?" Amber stopped her.
"We said goodbye before you got here, farewell!" Margret giggled, waddling out of the room.
"So, what are we sitting? Fish, birds, dogs? I'm allergic to dogs…" Alfie asked, clapping his hands together loudly.
"Nope," Amber opened the door to the living room, letting Alfie in. "Cats,"
"Holy Sweet Mother of Pranks," Alfie exclaimed looking around the room.
"And there are several more upstairs," Amber told him.
"Several more; there are at least fifty cats in this one room!"
The fuzzy balls of laziness were lounging around the room; some were newborns, some too big and too fat to even move.
"I'll introduce you," Amber grinned, taking a seat on a cat hair infested couch.
Her boyfriend hesitantly took a seat next to her and she picked up a bell on the table next to her.
"Cinderella," she called softly, ringing the bell.
A big furry blonde cat hopped up onto Amber's lap and purred, taking a seat there.
"This is Cinderella,"
"Hello, Cindy," Alfie gave a small wave. The cat didn't look up and hopped off Amber's lap.
"This is Tiger," the blonde held up the umpteenth cat to Alfie.
Alfie sneezed and nodded, giving another wave. The small red tabby looked up at the dark-skinned boy with wide green eyes.
"This one's kind of cute," he smiled, taking the feline from his girlfriend's hands. He scratched his ears and ran his hand from his head to his tail. Tiger purred and curled into Alfie's hands.
"Aw, he likes you!" Amber grinned.
"I'm home, my darlings," a voice sang and it was followed by the click of the front door shutting.
"Oh, poo, I didn't get to introduce you to all of them. I'm sorry, boo." Amber frowned.
"No, it's alright, Ambs." Alfie assured her but Margret raised her hand, giving it a small wave of dismissal.
"Nonsense, you two can stay as long as you want."
"Oh no, trust me, we're okay; we'll leave." Alfie shook his head.
"Come on, Alfie," Amber pulled him up the stairs to the next room of cats while he held back a groan.
Yeah, not my best, but it was an Amfie and it was kinda funny...
