THOMAS
I never understood the appeal of a hairless pussy.
‘Here, hold him.’ Chase thrusts said pussy in my direction, holding him
out over the massive Persian rug in our father’s office, like baby Simba over
Pride Rock.
Except it isn’t a cute and cuddly lion being offered up to the savannah as
the heir to the animal kingdom. It’s a bald, wrinkled adolescent cat.
‘Absolutely not.’ My arms remain firmly at my sides.
‘Oh, come on, man.’ He jiggles the cat, like that somehow makes him
more appealing. ‘Mikey’s a good guy, you just need to get to know him.’
I watch as two skin folds morph into one as it twists in his owner’s hands.
I don’t even bother hiding my disdain. ‘I have no desire to get to know your
cat.’
‘Fine.’ Chase huffs a defeated breath and lowers the feline to the floor.
As if knowing he was stoutly rejected, the cat levels me with a snide look
then begins licking his balls. The visual is an eyesore in and of itself, but the
noise… the noise is enough to make my morning protein shake churn in my
stomach.
Pointing at the offending animal, I level my stare at my brother. ‘If that
stains the carpet, you will reimburse the company from your personal
account.’
With a deep, offending sigh, Chase scoops up his cat and deposits it on
the upholstered chair in front of my desk.
Like that’s any better.
With the cat moved and the licking over, Chase throws what some female
employees at Moore’s refer to as a ‘charming look’ in my direction. ‘Looking
forward to cat-sitting while I’m on my honeymoon?’
I do not find my brother charming. In fact, a few months ago I might have
said that I disliked my brother. Though that would’ve been a lie.
He leans over the back of the chair to pat his pet, looking like he’s
tenderizing a chicken breast.
‘I thought Bell wanted him to come with you.’
He stops patting his pet long enough to look up at me like a kid who
dropped his ice cream cone. ‘Bell always wants Mikey with her.’
I’m not the best at social cues, but… ‘Are you jealous of your cat?’
Confused, I point at the beady-eyed, loose-skinned beast with more indecent
exposure violations than Marilyn Manson – and less physical attractiveness.
‘That cat?’
Another shrug. ‘Maybe.’
I’m not surprised often, but I am surprised that he’d admit to such a thing.
But then again Chase has always been good about expressing himself. One of
the many, many ways we differ.
But in the name of turning over a new leaf, now that our father is in
prison and Chase and I have begun mending our fences, I attempt to express
myself. ‘I don’t like animals.’
See? Emotional growth. I can change.
Chase’s expression falls.
