Whisper

62

Eva kissed me on the lips softly and I poured her a cup of coffee.

Thank goodness, Spirit and Ghost were in the kitchen.

"I was talking to my cats."

.

She sipped her coffee, leaning against the counter. "Do you talk to the cats all the time?"

.

I nodded.

"Well, I do live alone and they are great listeners."

.

She walked to me and kissed me on the lips. "You are a little strange, Mr. Will Templeton."

.

"Sorry."

.

She sat at the kitchen table. "Don't be, I like weird."

.

The cats began their little dance as Whisper, who had disappeared, suddenly reappeared in the kitchen.

.

"Oh my God. I have never seen cats do that in my life," Evangeline said, smiling.

.

I laughed, nervously. "Well, if you think I am a little weird."

I pointed at Spirit and Ghost. "Meet my cats."

.

She smiled. She looked so beautiful. She was wearing one of my t-shirts and a pair of my sleep pants. Obviously she had been in my bureau drawers. I didn't care. The clothes never looked so good.

.

"I'm going to my room Daddy."

.

"Ok, sweetie," I answered, unconsciously.

.

Eva looked at me, "Ok sweetie what?"

.

Idiot.

.

Whisper giggled and disappeared.

.

"Ok, sweetie, what do you want to do today?" I blurted, trying to cover up my mistake.

.

"So you are calling me sweetie, are you?"

She smirked at me, as she sipped her coffee.

.

"No. I'm sorry."

Had I blown it again?

.

She laughed. "Relax Will. It's ok. After last night you can call me anything you want."

She smiled teasingly, slightly licking her lips.

.

I smiled. Hopefully I wasn't blushing too much.

.

She continued, with a heavy sigh, "But I have to go to Grand Falls for a couple days."

.

I nodded, sadly.

.

She smiled. "Why don't you come with me?"
