Cassandra finally got up to the top floor slightly sweating and a tiny bit out of breath, she turned around when she heard a loud groan behind her and saw Jake half carrying Chance up the rest of the steps. "Man I thought you guys would be in more shape than this." Cassandra said laughing a bit.
"Well I am as for Chance here. Well it's just a sad case really." Jake said earning himself a punch in the side that almost caused him to drop the bigger heavier cat.
"So I need to lay off of the snacks so what?" Chance said making it up the last five steps before he collapsed on the floor, suddenly they heard someone behind one of the doors walking and the sound of a lock being turned. They all turned their attention to the door and watched it slowly open to reveal a brown she-kat with eyes and black hair tied back in a ponytail. She had on a green tank top with black cargo pants and she was holding a wooden spoon that had sauce on it.
"Looks like I started the meatballs just in time." she said then looked at Cassandra and she instantly got a mile long smile on her face. "You must be Cassandra!" she said running over to her and giving her a hug making sure not to spill any sauce on her clothes. "Callie has told me so much about you. I just couldn't wait to meet you." she said looking at her.
"Yeah you kept going on and on about how much you wanted to meet her so that you could go shopping and get your claws down and lets' not forget your hair and fur." Chance said slowly standing up which he quickly stopped doing when he saw the look on his girlfriends' face. Jake had to put his hand over his mouth to hide his smile while his friend looked down at the floor and played with one of his claws.
"I wouldn't be talking Chance Furlong. Your claws are way over due for a trimming and your fur is all matted!" she said putting her free hand on her hip and waving the spoon at him. "Well come on in everyone before the meatballs burn." she said walking back into the house. Chance got up following her in while Jake and Cassandra stayed behind for a second. Cassandra walked over to Jake shaking her head.
"And those two aren't married yet way?" she asked him and Jake just shrugged with a slight smile on his face.
"I don't know. Maybe because her uncle hates our guts and would either object at the wedding or gut Chance like a fish." Jake said leaning on the wall behind him. Felina looked at him.
"Even though I love my uncle and would like to believe that he wouldn't Jake I'm sure he would." she said before she walked into the kitchen. What Jake knew that noone else but Chance did was that Chance had picked out a ring and was waiting for the perfect time to ask her to marry him. He just didn't have the nerve to do so yet. Cassandra and Jake walked in shutting the door behind them and prepared to have dinner with their two friends. It was a weird feeling for Cassandra, she had never really had friends before now since she never stayed in one town for to long. But she was starting to think of Jake, Chance, and Felina as her friends and she started to really trust them over the two hours they spent together playing games. But she knew like all good things it would have to come to an end and it had to end when Jake and Chance had to take Cassandra back to the garage.
"Felina seems really nice." she said looking at Chance as they drove down the road.
"She is. She was nice to us when her uncle condemed us to the junk yard. When we had no money for food or bills she and Callie would pitch in to help us out." he said, then Cassandra asked the question that had been bugging her all night.
"So when are you going to ask her to marry you?" she asked which caused Jake to get a huge grin.
"I haven't picked the right time." he said giving a heavy sigh, and Cassandra rolled her eyes what was better then when she and Jake had been there with them? They wouldn't of said anything to them they would of been happy for them.
"Well I'll get to know her alot better tomarrow since we're going to the mall tomarrow." Cassandra said already trying to decide what outfit she would be wearing tomarrow. Just as she picked one out they pulled up the the garage where Callie was waiting for them. Cassandra got out with a smile on her face while she walked over to her sister.
"Something tells me that someone had fun." she said with a smile on her face while she pulled out her car keys and some money for Jake and Chance, she handed it to Jake who also had a smile on her face.
"Yeah I had lots of fun. Me and Felina are going to go shopping tomarrow." Cassandra said opening the car door and getting in. Callie turned to Chance and Jake.
"Thanks guys. This is the first time Cassandra has ever really gotten to enjoy herself and it's great that Felina's taking her to the mall tomarrow it'll give her time to be herself and to relax." Callie said as she walked to her car. Jake and Chance watched them drive away before Chance got a call on his phone he looked to see who was calling him and saw it was Felina.
"Hey." he said wondering what she had wanted he didn't remember leaving anything behind at her house, maybe Jake or Cassandra had forgotten something.
"Hey. I wanted to know if Cassandra needed any money for tomarrow or if she has some." she said Chance had to stop and think about what Cassandra had said and he was sure she said that she would burrow some from her sister.
"No she said she's going to borrow some from Callie." he said knowing that Callie would give her sister some money no problem and if she needed anymore Felina would pay for anything she wanted.
"Well then I only have one question." she asked with a slight giggle in her voice, Chance could feel his heart starting to beat faster and a lump formed in his throat which he quickly swallowed.
"Um okay what is it?" he asked kind of scared of what she was going to ask him, had Jake slipped to her that he was planning on asking her to marry him?
"When is Jake going to ask Cassandra out?" she asked giggling even more, Chance gave a relieved sigh so Jake hadn't said anything about the ring or what he wanted to ask her.
"I'm not sure. I know he wants to even though I don't think that he even knows it yet. It's just a feeling a have and you know my feeling is never wrong. But as for when he's going to ask her I'll never know that's up to him." he said watching Jake walk back into the house to probably watch some tv and unwind.
"Well he'd better do it before she leaves and he never has another chance." she said giving a slight sigh, Jake could be so difficult sometimes and she was wondering if her and Chance would have to give him a slight push in the right direction.
"Yeah I know but all we can do is wait and watch and if he doesn't ask her in like two weeks we'll push him in the right direction." he said. They talked for three more minutes trying to figure out what to do if he didn't ask Cassandra out in two weeks.
