Cat And Billie Joe, chapter 11
A week had passed and Cat was resting on the couch while Billie Joe made pancakes for her. She was still really tired and sleep most of the day, and Billie stayed with her the whole time. Cat smiled down at her fingers and noticed her engagement ring. Her smile grew into a grin. She was going to be Cat Armstrong. Well, technically she would be Sara Louise Armstrong. She didn't have a middle name, so she was just going to slid her last name over to her middle name.
"Hey! What if I legally change my name to Cat?" She raised her eyebrow as Billie sat next to her, handing her a tray with pancakes, milk, butter and syrup.
"If you'd like to, you can." He said, stealing one of her pancakes. Cat smiled at him and soon finished her pancakes.
Later that evening Billie Joe had gone out and rented a bunch of movies so he and Cat could spend the whole night-and some of that morning, watching them.
The week before Cat was in the accident, Billie made her quit her job, and he did the same. He was getting so much from making that album with Lookout, that neither of them had to work (Ahhhh, utopia). After the 5th movie, Billie felt Cat's breathing become regular. He popped the tape out and slipped it back into its case. He then picked Cat up in his arms and went into their bedroom and placed her into the bed. Slipping off her pants, he pulled the sheets over her and slipped in himself, wrapping his arms around her waist, he too fell asleep.
Billie groaned at he heard the bedroom door open and close, then something was placed on the bed.
"Mew." A small voiced said.
Billie sat up saw a tiny black cat with big green eyes. Then he looked to Cat who was bouncing slightly on the edge of the bed, and huge grin on her face.
"Isn't she the cutest?" Cat said, "Her name is Jasmine, like the scent."
"Meh. A kitten?" He said, scrunching his face slightly.
"I found her on the side of the road, all big sad eyes and she looked all pathetic and sad." She said, giving him the eyes.
"Now that not fair! When you look at me like that, I can't say no." He sat up, folding his arms across his chest. Cat crawled over the bed to him and sat in his lap, kissing him on the cheek.
"Thank you Billie Joe! Get dressed! We have to go out and buy cat stuff now!" She jumped up and picked her new kitten up and held her like a baby, Jasmine looking up at her with wide eyes.
Wow, Billie thought. That cat looks like she feels completely safe, but Cat usually had that affect on people. And animals. And she was so tiny, that cat could only have been about 5 inches from her butt to her head. He sighed, throwing the bedspread up and walk to the bathroom, scratching his butt. He smiled to himself as he heard Cat singing about her new kitten. He brushed his teeth and spit, then ran a finger through his disheveled blue hair. He needed a hair-cut... Really bad. He shrugged, and went out to find some clothes.
Cat sat down on the couch, hold her kitten, stroking her soft fur.
"'Kay, I'm ready." Billie said, grabbing his wallet and shoving it in his back pocket. Cat jumped up and skipped over to the door, grabbing the car keys.
"Wait! You drive." Billie cocked his head and looked at her in confusion, then knew what was going on when she picked her kitten up again. She was bringing her with. Shaking his head, he opened the door for Cat and shut it behind him.
