It was a sunny morning - you don't see that very often this time of the year. I was looking for my friends when Tugger walked by aiming a smile at me, the sort of smile he always gives me when he and Bombalurina are having a domestic issue.
"Hey kitten" he stopped walking and stood with his paws in his belt. I grinned at him
"Hi Tuggy!" he moved closer to me, his stench was so strong I could suffocate
"Lets talk about yesterday" He raised one eyebrow
"What about yesterday?" I smiled.
"You know, you are the first kitten to ever do something like that" He moved even closer, still smiling. I felt sick and this conversation was getting more awkward by the second.
"So?" I put my paws on my hips as if it wasn't a big deal
"Well, I was wondering if you could tell me why you did that" he said. Smiling still, his eyes were expectant. He knew exactly why I would do that, he just wanted me to say it because it makes him feel irresistible.
"I don't know... ...because your the bestest in the world!" I grinned. If I told him it was a dare, I would be giving the others credit. He laughed
"Would you kiss me because I'm the 'bestest' in the world?" he held out his arms and my insides grumbled. Must I?
"SQUEEEEE!" I jumped up on him and he caught me in a firm grip, pressing me hard against his chest. I regretted it when he locked my lips ... I could taste the remainder of something rotten he'd probably fished out of a trash can, which meant Bomba must have thrown him out before dinner. Honestly, the things I do ... and to make matters worse, he is old enough to be my dad!
"I like you kitten" he smiled smugly, I was still clinging to him, grinning like a complete idiot. "Don't tell your friends I said that, or they'll be jealous" he looked me in the eyes
"I wont" I said sincerely, he put me down and strutted away. I ran off to find my friends.
Jemima, Electra and Victoria were sitting on the old car.
"GUESS WHAT!" I screamed at them jumping up and down as if I was having another fangirl 'episode'
"Tugger said he wants to be your mate" Electra said sarcastically, like could never happen
"No, but he let me kiss him on the lips!" I smiled so hard I strained my cheek muscles
"Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, whatever" Jemi said looking bored, she fake yawned
"No! He really did! Don't believe me? You can ask him!" I put on an annoyed look. Victoria believed me, she always does...
"What did he taste like?" she asked with a glazed look over her eyes, like she was in love
"He tasted like Christmas! He smells like Christmas, he looks like Christmas, he tastes like Christmas, HE IS CHRISTMAS!" I jumped up and down again beaming. Really, if he was Christmas, I would kill myself. Victoria sighed and clasped her hands together by her heart, which formed a twinge of guilt in my heart. The other two started leaving.
"Where are you going?" I asked, annoyed that they wouldn't take me and Vicky with them
"To find Tugger" they didn't even look at us. I pulled Vicky along and followed them.
"Hey kittens" he smiled at us from a pile of old clothes, paws in belt as usual.
"Cety says you let her kiss you. Is it true?" Jemima eyeballed me, then looked back at him
"Yeah, so?" he smiled at me and I grinned back, but he was copying my so what look and it annoyed me
"You don't let me kiss you" Electra pouted, glaring at him like ice
"You don't love me like she does – she even licked my ass" He turned up his nose and wiggled his bum around ... yuck. The two of them glared at me.
"We dared her to!" they yelled
"Yeah but you didn't say to lick it!" Vicky yelled at them and they started arguing. I stood there remaining silent, our arguments were pointless and they never got any where. I looked at Tugger and sighed, trying to look mature. Electra just happened to look up at him as he was winking at me and she stopped, leaving the other two still screaming. She looked at Tugger, who was smiling at me, then at me who was grinning cutely - the way I always do when Tugger smiles at me, I could almost see the steam coming out of her ears.
"So" she huffed glaring at me "You got cosy with him behind our backs!" she yelled making the others stop and look. Tugger just sat there with a smug smile, watching Electra's laser gaze cut me in half.
"You didn't believe me when I told you all about it" I sort of cowered away from her, I hated it when she was bossy. She was only bossy because she wanted Tugger all to herself, and it was destroying our friendship. Tugger got amused by queen friendships breaking because of him. Cassandra, Bombalurina, Exotica and Tantomile used to be the best of friends until Tugger screwed it all up. They are now enemies with a passion. Now Tugger was trying to do it to us and it made me cry just thinking what life would be like without them. But Tugger is a persistent little welt and won't stop until we too hate each other. Only one thing could stop him...
"Are you listening to me?" Electra yelled in my face, and I jumped. She was shorter than me, which made her look a bit stupid.
"Run it by me again" I said
"See, you're so caught up in your stupid fantasies that you don't even bother listening you your own half sister!" she screamed and stormed off with Jemima who was flashing a dirty look over her shoulder. Victoria was sobbing on my shoulder. I looked at Tugger like what the hell just happened? He just smirked and strutted off with his trademark 'swagger'. How dare that bastard think this was funny! I was about to go after him and break his nose when I remembered Vicky was still clinging to me, whimpering softly.
