With Lyle Lovett & His Large Band crooning in the background, he believed his feline roommate was asleep.  Her head suddenly jerking toward the front door proved otherwise.  And then she left the comfort and warmth of his chest and trotted to what, or who, he believed was on the other side of that door.  There was never any doubt that he would allow Tesla entrance.  Anton felt, after all, that he still needed to make it up to Licorice for not coming home last night.<br/><br/>Yep, the bulldozer just bulldozed right on in, and the door wasn’t even opened wide.  Both pets were now in 7th Heaven, or should that actually be 9th Heaven, in homage to a cat’s nine lives?  No matter, as they proceeded to sniff each other in greeting.  The midnight-black Persian then guided the Maine Coon to the cushioned bench with a view.  Tesla obediently followed, as they perched on top of the coveted seat.  The kitty version of the planet Jupiter immediately began to groom her.  Beside himself, Anton said, “Dude, I really hate to say this, but don’t be so pussy-whipped.”  His criticism fell upon four deaf ears, as his attention on her continued.<br/><br/>His phone chimed, alerting him to an incoming text.  Now<i>this, </i>he believed, had to be from Stella, seeing as how her roomie was in the friendly confines of his home.  He laughed at her message, as he prepped a response.<br/><br/><i>Ha Ha!  No worries, Stella.  You should know that the pair of catnip-crossed lovers are currently on the bench seat, with your Tesla grooming his queen.  Now that I think about it, maybe I should go to my bedroom and allow them some privacy.  lol</i><br/><br/><i>btw, did you positively want him back tonight, or is it okay for him to spend the night here?  Either way is fine with me.  Have a good night!</i><br/><br/><i>A</i><br/><br/>Text sent off, Anton once again wondered what to do with his time next.  Sitting on the couch with his back turned to the two kitty neighbors, he fired up his Xbox One.  A session of violent gaming was sure to take his mind off of Magdalene and Stella.<br/><br/>Evangeline crossed his mind just then, as his first headshot was taken and achieved.
