CATS and DOGS
CHAPTER 3
"STUPID DOG! Why did you refuse the deal? I said I'll take it." Lightning, angrily, said as they got out.
"Humans are dangerous. We should be more careful especially to our surroundings." Noctis said.
"It's free. Besides, maybe he could give me a little help. He could give me food, like what you said."
"You know what?" Noctis stopped walking and turned to Lightning. "Why don't you just thank me because I care, huh?"
"You care? Is this what you call care? I'm already hungry, sleepy, tired-" Lightning was cut-off as Noctis, suddenly, dragged her.
"Hey, where are you-" Lightning protested. Then soon, they stopped in front of the restaurant from earlier. Noctis went in, dragging her and he walked straight at the counter.
"Hey mister, as you can see, we're closed. Haven't you read the sign?" a fat man wearing a white T-shirt with a red apron said. He's wiping his hands using a cloth.
"I just want to have some part time work here." Noctis said.
"Son, we're going to close and we're already close. Maybe-"
"Please, anything you want me to do. I just need money. See, we haven't eaten anything yet and we don't have a place to stay. Please."
The fat man sighed.
"Ben!" the man shouted and a thin guy who looks like in his early twenties appeared. He's wearing a gray T-shirt and black baggy pants.
"Yes. Mr. Baker?" Ben said.
"Just Dave. Do you still have any job unfinished?" David said.
"Uhm. I finished the dishes….." Ben continued mumbling to himself thinking on what he'd finished. "Just turning off the lights is my unfinished job." He, finally, said.
David turned back to Noctis. "I'm sorry, son. Maybe tomorrow."
Lightning and Noctis ended up, sleeping outside. They walk and walk until they finally found some place to sleep. The street seems deserted. All shops were already closed and there are no lights. Then they saw a shop with small stairs and they decided to sit and sleep there. Noctis leaned on the stair's post on the first level and Lightning leaned on him.
"I'm not used to this. On our home, I used to have my own bed even if I was still a cat and now I'm leaning on a dog." Lightning mumbled.
"Just bear with it. And I'm a human now. We're now the same." Noctis put his arms around Lightning for comfort. And Lightning snuggled at him, closing her eyes.
*Back at the restaurant…
"Ben, the couple from earlier mentioned that they're looking for some place to stay." Mr. Baker said as he locked the doors of the restaurant. "You're staying at an apartment, right?" he continued.
"Yes, sir." Ben said. "Why?"
