Stop That Hacker! UNEDITED VERSION (2020)

Chapter 3

"This is Pierre." Pierre was a ball of white and yellow fluff. " Here he is sleeping. Oh and this one here, he's cuddled his tail to sleep..."

I scrolled through the pictures.

"This is Momo and Pierre sleeping together. They always sleep together like this. And Dorian Grey sometimes gets so jealous so he cuddles with me or my brothers for revenge."

I found a picture of Grey and showed it to him. Instantly the guy dropped back in his chair and then came back and snatched the phone out of my hand staring at the picture. If his eyes could turn into little hearts they would have.

"He is adorable."

"I know."

He passed the phone back.

"Do you have cats?" I asked enthusiastically and just like that his face soured up and he was back to his grumpy mood.

"No."

"Sorry, I just assumed because you knew about the breeds.."

Great. I just had to go and ruin that.

He was quiet again.

I mustered up the courage to open the subject again.

"If you could have a cat, would it be a Norwegian?"

I could see him trying to hide the smile. "Yes. A giant black Norwegian cat."

I smiled. With his black hair and piercing eyes, they would be twins.

"It will suit you."

The moment I said it I saw the look on his face. "I mean... sorry." I slapped my mouth a few times.

He leaned on the table and cracked another smile. "It will suit me wouldn't it."

Thankfully after that even though we didn't say anything it did not turn back to the awkward silence but it was rather peaceful.

A few hours later he dropped me off home and I wasn't sure what to say.

Was I ever going to see him again?

"Thank you again for everything," I said.

"Take care and say hi to Dorian for me." He gave me a smirk that made me very cautious all of a sudden, but with nothing said after that he drove off.

No name and no contact, the stranger and I parted ways.

I ran back home sheltering myself from the rain and then paced into the living room where Kai was petting the cats on the couch.

"Francy, what happened?" He jumped from the couch looking at me worried. "I saw the spilled paint in your room and Momo was gone, the cats were distressed..."

I opened the carrier and Momo got out lazily.

"She pushed the paint while I was painting my room and I ran to take her to the vet."

"It's October, you crazy idiot. Why would you paint your room now?" He yelled at me and when Kai yelled, I always got upset.

"Why do I have to do what you want?" I yelled back. "If I'm crazy that's my business."

Seeing my reaction Kai calmed down and crouched next to Momo to pet her.

"She seems fine."

"The vet said she'll be fine. She gave me prescriptions just in case." I calmed down as well.
