Bring Me Back To Life || Gavin Lux

Ella's POV- November 2019

I smiled at my phone as the live recording showed my cat patiently waiting for his morning treat back home in LA. There was a light knock on the window as I was about to dispense him a treat. I glanced up to see Gavin on the other side and set my phone down to unlock the door.

"Good morning" I greeted as he opened the back seat door.

He scrunched up his nose as he set his backpack on the seat.

"Just morning?" I questioned.

He nodded.

"I brought you a latte," I told him

He smiled as he closed the back door, and opened the front passenger door.

"Thank you"

Once he was inside, I locked the door and accepted his half hug/kiss on the cheek.

"Give me one second," I told him as I picked up my phone.

I pointed at the cup that did not have a nude lipstick stain on it.

"Morning, boy" I greeted.

I smiled as my cat meowed in response.

"Hi, mom" I called out.

Just as expected, I got a response.

"Morning, honey"

"Talk later?" I asked as I dispensed the treat.

"Yes, lunch is at 2"

So 5 PM my time.

"Gotcha, talk then" I replied.

"Bye"

"Bye," I said back before exiting the app.

I turned to Gavin who smiled at me as he adjusted his glasses.

"My cat" I explained.

"What's its name?"

I looked at him.

"Stormy" I answered.

He smiled.

"Like Kylie Jenner's kid?"

"My Stormy with a Y not an I, and I got my cat before she had her child" I told him.

"How old is...he?"

Gavin was correct, Stormy was a boy.

"He's 4 going on 5" I responded.

According to the vet.

"How'd you get him?"

The sayings are right though, you don't choose your cat it chooses you.

"Outside of the practice facility" I responded.

He was a mean one, but I managed to catch him. 

"The asshole bit me, but he gave in once he was fed and warm," I said.

He chuckled.

"I begged my parents to let me keep him, and they agreed when they saw how well he got along with the family pets"

Stormy was a stunning black medium-haired cat.

"How long ago did you get him?"

"A little after my 15th birthday" I answered.

I was 19 years old.

"Nora mentioned your family has two dogs"

"Two dogs and two cats" I informed him.
