Hey, just started college today so unfortunately the updates wont come as often. Maybe you could guess what'll happen next in the review/comments section ;)
Chapter 8: In the garden
"I'm glad we took that bath" Anubis said.
"and why is that?" Sadie asked sharply.
Anubis smiled at her mischievously, "you don't stink of cat anymore."
This was met by a playful but strong clip round the ears. "And what do I smell now?" Sadie asked in her best 'you better get this answer right or it won't be just a clip round the ear' voice.
Anubis sniffed her neck, his wet nose tickling her skin; "you smell amazing" he said, "I know no other way of describing it."
Anubis moved to lay down on his belly, Sadie watching him, taking in all the detail of his body, his soft black fur, his pointed ears, his long fluffy tail. As she stared into space she began to stroke his back, enjoying the feel of his fur.
He let out a soft contented growl, his tail wagging lazily.
The couple were once again interrupted by Bast, this time she brought out a tray of Coke, cheese toasties and friskies. "Look at this, the great Anubis tamed so easily." She chided.
Anubis smiled, "remember who your talking to, unless you want Sadie to hear about you and bird boy."
Sadie looked at Bast with a grin, "you... and Horus?" she asked, trying her utmost to suppress her laughter.
Bast sat down sighing and shaking her head, "look you two, this stays between us, I don't want it to get out."
Sadie, realising she wouldn't get much information out of Bast, turned to Anubis, "what happened between her and Horus then?"
Anubis smiled at Bast's discomfort, "well Sadie, lets just say they got a bit... 'active' behind one of the pyramids a while back."
Grinning like a fool Sadie turned to Bast, "really, you and Horus?"
"We didn't actually do anything" She replied hastily.
"That's not what Horus told me" Anubis said, enjoying being able to tease Bast like this.
"Oh shut up, dog" Bast said, opening a can of coke, handing the other two to Sadie.
She held one out to Anubis. He took the can then held his hand out as if searching for something, a black bowl appeared in his hand. He placed it in front of him on the grass and emptied the can into it.
Sadie looked at him lapping coke from the bowl and smiled, he never ceased to amaze or amuse her.
He looked up at her from his bowl, a drop of coke hanging from his chin.
"You keep a bowl in the duat?" Sadie asked, shaking her head in mock despair.
"Yeah, I never know when I'll need one." Anubis said, the look in his eyes telling Sadie that he wasn't joking.
"You never cease to amaze me" Sadie marvelled as she scratched one of his tall pointed ears.
