I roll to my back and blink rapidly, attempting to shake off the last vestiges of sleep. Something feels different this morning. My throat is sore, and my body feels tender in an unfamiliar way. I glance around the room, barely able to make out the shape of a bedside lamp in the dim light of early morning. The silence is shattered by a loud screech, followed by a meow that will be heard for miles. I sit up quickly just in time to hear a commotion in the hallway. “Goddammit, you mongrel, come back here! How was I to know you weren’t finished taking a shit? There was a pile in the box the size of a small building.” My mouth drops open as a light flips on outside the door, and I see Rufus run by, followed closed by a nearly naked Lee.

It takes my brain a long moment to register where I am and why, before I gather my wits enough to slide awkwardly from the bed. I look around but see no sign of my clothes from the night before or anything else for that matter. The sound of a crash, followed by curses has me tossing modesty to the wind and hurrying to find out what’s going on. I’m brought up short by the sight of Lee, with his hands on his lean hips, staring down as Rufus kneads his claws in what is undoubtedly a very expensive chair. “I think I’m gonna be sick,” I whisper as I survey the damage.

I swear, if it’s possible for a cat and a person to be glaring at each other, then they’re doing it. Rufus appears almost defiant as he works his claws into the leather while Lee stands there doing nothing to stop him. “You do realize that you’ll pay for that, don’t you?” he asks without looking my way. I open my mouth to assure him that I will, when he continues. “I know you’re doing it on purpose, and while I applaud your attempt to show me who’s boss, you’ve made a dire miscalculation.” He’s having a conversation with Rufus. Damn, I wish I had my phone to record this. I remain stock-still not wanting to ruin the moment. “You see,” Lee continues, “if you knew me at all, you’d realize that there’s only room for one boss here, and that ain’t you, pal. I let you get away with covering most of the bathroom in fucking sand and attempting to rip my dick off last night, but it’s the end of the line.” His voice takes on that commanding tone that I’ve heard so often at Falco as he raises his hand and points toward the floor. “Now come down from there right now and don’t even think about taking off.” I grin, waiting for Rufus to ignore him, but I’m astonished when my normally stubborn animal does exactly as Lee has commanded. Even going so far as to sit at his feet as if awaiting praise and his next order.
