Rules of Seduction
Epilogue & footnotes
A gray cat padded along the damp asphalt of the street, heading down the alley towards the building. The early morning chill made the cat swish its tail in annoyance. It turned its single eye to the building ahead of it. The neon sign was off and the façade was damaged.
"Oh, for the love of God...what happened here..." Roy moaned and trotted up to the building, then jumped up to a half-open window and slipped inside. His hair stuck up and he hissed as he saw the mess inside.
Damage showed some battle had taken place. Immediately he got worried. Maybe it had been a bad idea to leave those two alone? His ears twitched as he heard clatter of glassware in the kitchen. Fearing the worst he darted to the kitchen door and immediately braced his paws against the floor to stop from going in, jumped in place in shock and with a low, yowled cuss he scuttled back towards the living room and made for the window again.
Tess had been standing in the kitchen against the counter, in front of the coffee machine and was drinking from a mug. And was naked bar a black man’s shirt thrown over herself, that hung off her like it was a couple of sizes bigger; apparently ‘borrowed’ from the man standing closely behind her, pressing onto her back. Dante had chuckled at something and snuck his arm around her waist. Unlike her, shame didn’t bother him at all and so he wasn’t wearing anything...As he scuttled out the open window in a hurry, Roy let a low, mourning meow. "Definitely, was a bad idea to leave them alone..."The end!
Yep, that’s it! I got this thing outta my head and I can now get on with my work undisturbed by this wacky little ficlet hovering around my head. Hope you enjoyed it. Please don’t go asking me to write more, I already have my hands full. Tah-Tah! *poofs*
