Chapter Sixteen

The second Justine opened the door, Gloria burst in carrying the cat in a crate.

“Hi Mom. How was your drive?”

“Hi honey. It was long as usual. I have to hurry if I’m going to make it to the airport on time. Oh, hello Carter. Here is her bag of toys and food, and I brought her bed, it’s still outside in the car.” I took this as my cue.

“I’ll go get the bed, Gloria.” I went out to her car parked in the driveway. I looked through the window to see where the bed was and walked around to that door. This bed was zebra-striped, unlike the pink faux fur of the one she used on her last visit. I opened the door and grabbed the bed, dreading going back into the house. I should probably have told Justine how much I loathed Monique, but she had already told Gloria yes, and I didn’t want her to add guilt to whatever else she was feeling.

I trudged back inside, surprised to see Gloria almost at the door. “Oh, are you leaving already?”

“Oh well, I’ve got to get to the airport, you know how I hate all this city traffic. I’ll see you on Sunday. Bye bye.” Gloria was gone without another word and we stood there in the silence for a few seconds before Justine spoke.

“I guess that went better than I was hoping. Faster anyway. She didn’t even say thank you.” I felt bad for her, but there wasn’t anything I could do about Gloria. I looked down to where Monique was licking herself. She hadn’t acknowledged me yet, but it was only a matter of time. She was probably waiting to give me a false sense of security.

“Carter, you need to thank Monique.”

I looked at Justine in disbelief. “Why on earth would I need to thank Monique for anything?” I asked her incredulously.

“Because I was looking at you hating on her just now and I thought that she must have done something horrible to you to make you feel like that since you love cats.” Huh? “I remembered you love cats. At least, I think I remembered that. You do love them, right?”

“Yeah, I do. Thanks Monique.” I said it but I didn’t really mean it. I would make Juss remember things without Monique’s involvement if at all possible. I put the bed down next to the wall and reached over to pull the bag off of Justine’s shoulder so I could put it in the kitchen. It was best if we just got all of the cat stuff out of the way so that I could concentrate on our date.

“Are you still hungry?”

“I’m starved.” I looked around to see where Gloria had left the cat box. Last time Gloria had left a disposable one, but it was nowhere to be found. “Justine, your mom didn’t happen to leave some kind of cat box did she?”

“Not unless it’s stuffed in the bag.” She walked over and started pulling items out of the bag.
