Hey, so I guess I ended up updating today after all. Just because I got two new reviews while I was gone. So keep reviewing. Anyways, this is my longest chapter so far, and I loved writing it. My story has been really happy and nice so far, but I think I'll introduce the conflict next chapter. So enjoy this one.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bolt.
P.S: I love you guys who review.
Mittens
Bolt and I had been lying in the grass for about an hour before Penny called us in for dinner. In that hour we didn't really say much… Just laid there. Bolt is really warm, it was nice. At first I thought it was wrong though, I mean how many cats end up laying on a dog's chest trying to get as close to him as they can without the dog noticing.
After a while though, I decided it doesn't matter what everyone else says, or thinks. I enjoy being with my big with dog and there isn't anything anyone can do about it.
"Bolt, Mittens. Time for dinner. Hurry up." Penny called for the second time. Bolt sighed into the hair on my head. He obviously wanted to stay as bad as I did.
I waited a few seconds, and then finally rolled of Bolt's chest. I felt cold suddenly. "Let's go Bolt; we don't want to get Penny mad."
Bolt laughed and replied "Penny would never be mad at me, we can wait a couple more minutes…" He was now very close, and staring into my eyes.
"N-No, we have to go eat." I hopped of the ground and started walking to the door. "I'm really temped to take you up on that offer though. Maybe later."
The big dog got up and followed really close behind me. "I'll make sure you do Mittens." He said into my neck. I shivered before quickening my pace. I will not let him get an advantage over me.
I went through the pet door to see Penny walking over to Rhino with a small bowl of hamster food. Rhino saluted her as she put the food down beside him. Does he ever leave that couch?
Bolt ran up to Penny and rubbed against her lag. I know that's just his way of greeting his person, but… I couldn't help feeling a little bit jealous. "Come on Bolt," I said walking over to our food bowls. Penny and Bolt came over a couple seconds later, Penny carrying two bags of food. After pouring the food she rubbed my head saying "You and Bolt are just so cute together," then walked away.
I watched her walk away and didn't notice Bolt inching closer to me. "She's right you know." He whispered into my ear. I jumped back not expecting him so close to me. Bolt laughed and began eating.
…
After we were both done eating, I retreated back to my room. Time for some well deserver rest.
"Where ya going cat?" Rhino called as I passed the living room door.
I looked up at him and said "Just going to get some rest. Long day." He nodded and went back to his T.V.
I walked down the long hallway to Penny's room and jumped on the bed as I got in. Time to review over what's happened in the last two days. First, Bolt comforted me last night after I found him awake at around two. I asked what was wrong and he just said he couldn't sleep.
Bolt asked me what was wrong with me and after not responding he somehow ended up holding me. I tried to struggle but he wouldn't let me and I fell asleep. I had eleven hours of sleep. I haven't had that much sleep since… Well, since I was kicked out by my previous owner and began living on the streets.
Then today, I was playing with him for hours. He never seemed to get tired of playing with me and I never got tired of him. After seeing the photo Penny took, I froze up. It was just… I liked it so much but I knew I shouldn't. When Bolt found out I froze because I liked the picture, he tackled me.
I ended up on top of him, and this time didn't struggle. All I could think about was how we shouldn't be doing this, but I liked it and couldn't bring myself to push off of him. But why? Do I…? Do I love a dog?
I was half was through processing this when I felt an arm around my waist. Looking up I saw the dog I loved. Bolt was looking at me with a worried look on his face. "You okay Mittens?"
"W-What?" I asked as he once again, pulled me into him.
"You just left, so I was worried about you."
"You were… worried about me?"
"Of course I was." Bolt leaned closer and licked the corner of my mouth.
I was stunned for a second before saying quickly "Um, I was just lying down. You know, long day."
He laughed and said "Yeah, so you mind if I join you?"
"N-no… And Bolt?" I tried to build up all the courage I had.
"Yes?"
"I… I love you!" I shouted quickly before burying my face into the dog's neck. I didn't want to see his reaction.
However, Bolt pulled my head out of his neck so that he could look into my eyes. "Mittens, I love you too. With out you I wouldn't be here back in Penny's house. I'd probably be out in an ally, or in a pet store or something. I owe my life to you and I hope that you could some how care for me, as much as I do for you."
My eyes welled up with tears. I buried my head back into his warm, soft neck and cried. And for the first time in my life, they were tears of joy.
So... Hoped you guys liked the chapter. Like I said, conflict comes in soon.
Reviews make the world go round.
