It's been two weeks since I got Logan and I must say everything is going just fine. I think Logan is starting to settle in and get comfortable which is great. So far I haven't had any problems with him, he's very obedient and very sweet.

During work I leave him home alone, he's fine alone as long as I leave him plenty of snacks. Last weekend I bought him two new plushies and some more outfits. I also bought him a new blanket for his bed which has a tiger on it and some bubble bath. He hates water, I figured he would, so I got him some scented bubble bath and bath toys to take his mind off it. He looks really cute when he's playing with his rubber ducky.

Right now it's Saturday 8 am. I'm laying in my own bed trying to catch some more z's before I need to get up and start another day. I need to pay off some bills today so that's fun. Logan was probably still sleeping, he doesn't wake up on his own that early, who would? Just when I was about to drift off to sleep again a heard my house phone ring. I groaned loudly and rolled out my bed and went downstairs.

"Hello?" I grumbled.

"Hiiiiiiiiii David~"

"Hello...Carol." That was Carol, one of Allison's best friends, and my co-worker. She works part time with me. She works two jobs, in the morning with me, and in the afternoons at a smoothie bar in the mall down the street.

"How are you today handsome~?"

"Umm...okay?"

"That's excellent darling!" She's super hyper and giggly too just like Alison's, all her friends are. I love Allison, but her preppy-ness can be annoying, I can only take one of her, but I have to deal with four. Her and her group of friends. That group consists of Allison, Carol, Kathy her co-worker and Maddison. All are preppy and giggly and annoying. They've been friends since middle school. Most of my life I had to deal with them. "So, I heard some new recently."

"Yeah?" I said sounding uninterested, because I was.

"Mhmmmm."

" 'bout what?"

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She cackled. "You know what I'm talking about!"

"Do I really?"

"Hahahaha! Silly you! Allison and Kathy told me that you just adopted a Neko! How come you didn't tell me??"

"Why did I need to tell you? That's my business."

"We're friends! Your business is my business!"

"Uh..noooooo, your Allison's friend. We're just co-workers. And even then the only time we talk is during meetings.

"Don't be silly!!" She giggled loudly. Man, these chicks are crazy..."we're friends! Best friends!!" I could feel my face contorting into almost like a confused and disgusted scowl.  "Anywhooooo, I was thinking, since I have a bunch of my own little cuties at home. Why don't your Neko and my Neko have a play date?!"

I don't know...would Logan like to have a play date? Carol's kinda crazy, I can't leave him with her, so I'd have to stay at her house with him. And do I really wanna do that? I'll have to take him out for some ice cream afterwards to make it up to him. I saw a sleepy Logan carefully walking down the stairs.

"Good morning David." He smiled at me and went and took a seat on the couch.

"Morning sweetheart ❤️"

"WAS THAT HIM?!" Carol screamed in my ear. I moved the phone away from my ear quickly and checked my ear to see if it was bleeding. Luckily it wasn't.

"Yeah it was him." She squealed loudly.

"So is that a yes to the play date??"

"Hold on..." I covered the phone. "Logan, baby, do you wanna have a play date with Carol's neko's?" He thought about it for a sec.

"Ok David." He smiled.

"He said yeah." She squealed again.

"Ok!! I'll text you the address of my house! Is tomorrow ok?"

"Yeah, I don't have any plans."

"Perfect! They're gonna be super happy and excited. See you then darling~" she hung up the phone.

I guess I'm going to Carol's tomorrow, I was kind of hoping he would say no. But I guess it's good to have him interacting with others. It would suck to keep him in the house all the time with no one to talk to but me. So I guess I'll have to suck it up for him.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I never went to a play date before.

Even though I spent most of my life surrounded by others like me, I never really talked to them or played with them.

I'm a little nervous, but I thought it would make David upset if I said no, so I agreed to go on the play date.

Right now we were in his car on the way to his friend Carol's house.

"David?"

"Yes sweetie?"

"....is your friend Carol nice?"

"Mhmm, very nice, you'll like her." He said keeping his eyes on the road.

"Ok, that's good. Um, David?"

"Yes sweetie?"

"How many neko's did you say she has again? I forgot."

".....7." His voice shook a bit when he said that and he looked a bit uncomfortable. "Look, Logan, Carol can be a bit...much. And you'll be surrounded by a lot of energetic people. If at any point it becomes, I dunno, overwhelming for you tell me and we can go home. I'll make up an excuse, it'll be fine."

"Ok David, thank you. "

It calmed me down a bit that he said we can go home if I get uncomfortable, but I don't want to make him go home, Carol is his friend. It wouldn't be nice to make him leave.

After a long while he parked his car by a big mint green house. He sighed and turned to me. He had a caring look in his dark brown eyes. "Remember what I said Logan? If you wanna go home at any time we can."

"It's ok David." He got out of the car and went over to my side to let me out. He looked nervous. "Don't worry David, I'll be extra good."

"That's not what I'm worried about baby, but thanks." He smiled at me.

~*~*~*~*~*~

That was sweet of him, but I'm not worried about him misbehaving, I know he won't, he's a good boy. It's Carol I'm worried about, she's a lot to handle, even for me. And Logan is awfully shy, I don't want him to get freaked out. I hesitantly knocked on the door, I think this was the right house, it looked the way she described it to me and her directions were detailed.

I heard the sound of many loud footsteps running around and yelling. About a minute later I was faced with Carol with a Cheshire grin and her wavy unnatural velvet red hair in a messy bun.

"David! I'm so glad you could make it!! And what's this cuties name?" She said cheerfully.

"This is Logan."

"Logan." She repeated. "Well, come in! Come in! Make yourselves at home." We walked into her house. Her house was very big, even more so on the inside. There was a large table in the dining area with 10 chairs. And the ground was littered with toys.

"Sorry about the mess, the little ones are playing here, I'll go call them over here. KIDDIES! COME HERE RIGHT NOW! OUR GUESTS ARE HERE!!" She yelled happily. I heard the sounds of running and chatter. A few seconds later 7 kids lined up in front me and Logan.

"This is Lina, 8 years old." Lina was a little girl Neko with pink hair in pig tails and ears and floral patterned dress.
"Megan, 11 years old." She was a fox hybrid with red hair and white tips and a bushy tail with black and white at the ends.
"Lorelei, 10" she had fluffy white hair and pale skin and looked like another fox Neko.
"Janey, 14." She had chocolate brown fur and short hair, she was a Neko with a thin tail.
"Mariam, 3" she was small and cute and was being held by Janey, she had curly hair had small black cat ears.
"Terri, and Jackson, they're biological siblings, I couldn't bare to separate them so I adopted them both. Terri's 12 and Jackson is 18 actually, he doesn't look it though." Terri had dark grey fur and hair, her hair was in a short ponytail and she wore black tights and a sweater. Jackson had light grey hair and was around the same height of Logan, a bit taller. They both looked part wolf. "Kids, this is Logan, I told you about him already, he's gonna be playing with you guys today, so play nicely, make him feel welcome and go have fun. Well, now that you're all introduced, go and play, and safely!" All the kids scampered off. Jackson shyly took Logan's hand and lead him upstairs along with the other kids. Once they were all gone Carol turned and faced me. "He doesn't often see other neko's his age, so I bet he's really exited.

"That's a lot of kids ya got there. Must be a handful." I nervously laughed.

"Oh yeah, but it's all worth it. They're so cute!"

"But you're all alone here, having this much kids must be expensive. You alone are paying all the bills and providing for them."

"I know, I know, it can be tough at times, but it's rewarding. I know some day the man of my dreams will come by and sweep me off my feet. And hopefully help with all my kids." She said leaning in closer to me. I raised a brow and stepped away. "Come, come with me. Sit." She wrapped her arm around mine and lead me to her couch. "So, tell me David, is there any lucky woman in your life right now?" She kept her arms wrapped around my arm, leaning in closer to me.

"N-No, why do you ask?" I gulped.

She giggled. "No reason in particular. Any woman you might have your eye on?"

"No, Not really." I was already starting to get uncomfortable.

"David, I'm always hearing so much about you from Allison. But I want you to tell me about yourself and how your life is going."

"There's not much to tell. I live in a cozy house, with Logan, and life is going okay I guess. I haven't ended up on the streets yet so that's good." She started laughing.

"You're so funny David~"

"What did I say that was funny?"

She just continued laughing. Somethings not right with her.

"Want some wine? Beer?"

"I'm good, I gotta drive home sooo...." I kind of hope Logan wants to go home soon, I know I want to.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The others dragged me upstairs with them, right now we were in Megan and Lorelei's room that they shared. They wanted me to play with the barbies their mama got them. I like stuffies a better but I didn't wanna say no cause that would be mean. I was playing Marisa, who was a doctor. I was giving Megan's doll Lilly a check up. We were all playing house. Lorelei was the mom, Janey was the dad, Megan was the daughter and Terri and Lina were the other older daughters. Jackson held Mariam in his lap and watched. Jackson said he didn't want to play because playing dollies was for girls and I told him that it didn't have to be just for girls.

I made my dolly tell them she had the flu and had to take medicine. When I had the flu at the shelter Allison gave me medicine. It tasted nasty but it worked quite well.

I felt someone grab my hand. I looked up and saw Jackson, he looked angry and upset.

"I'm taking Logan to my room now."

"But why?" Lina whined.

"Yeah, he was playing dollies with us, you can't just take him away Jack." Terri crossed her arms.

"I can and I will." He puffed. He dragged me away, I got up and followed him as he pulled me away.

"That's no fair! You can't do whatever you want just 'cause you're the oldest!" Janey complained.

"Yes I can." He left the room and went to a different room. When we were inside he locked the door. "There, now they can't bother us." He went and sat didn't on the bed. "Come." He pat the spot next to him. I went and crawled onto the bed and sat next to him. "Sorry about that. I had to get us away from them."

"But, why?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"Umm..well." His ears flopped down by the sides of his head. He played with his fingers. "I don't usually have people around my age like me. I just wanted the two of us to play together without my annoying little sisters."

"They didn't seem annoying to me."

"Trust me, they are. Not around you, but around me. Hey! Do you wanna play a game with me?" He said excitedly.

"Ok!" He crawled off the bed and pulled a box out from under the bed. "This game is called monopoly. My sisters never wanna play with me 'cause they say it's to boring, but I think it's fun. You wanna play with me?"

"Ok, how do you play?" I asked.

"It's easy! I'll show you." He set up the game on the floor and started to tell me how to play.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I tried to change the subject. Anything to keep things from getting awkward. She was acting really clingy and touching me all over. I hated it, I pushed her off me and changed the subject.

"So, Jackson and ....uh...oh yeah! Kerri!"

"Terri." She corrected.

"Yeah Terri, they're biological siblings right. That's interesting." I said awkwardly.

"Yeah, I saw little Terri a couple years back, and she was just so cute. I had to have her! So I decided to get her, but they told me she had a brother. And I wasn't quite sure what to do at first so I just decided to get the two of them together since she wouldn't leave her brother."

"Well that's sweet of her, to refuse to be adopted without her sibling."

"I guess..." She said. "I originally wanted only daughters though. But what the heck! You know?"

"Yeah." I fake laughed.

"You know, David." She says slowly rubbing up and down my thigh. "You and I are both single. And I know we could really use someone to help us care for our kids. Maybe you and I should-"

"Woahwoahwoah! Hold up. What?" I quickly pulled away and got up on the couch.

"What's wrong honey?" She asked confused with a pout on her face. She crawled up on her hands and knees and looked up at me. "Are you ok?"

"What the hell? Where's this coming from?!"

"What's the matter? You don't want me?"

"Wha- No! I already have someone in my life."

"What? You said a woman wasn't in the picture." She said with a slightly angered look.

"And there isn't."

"But, didn't you just say- oh, oh no, you don't mean Logan?" She said with a slight disgusted look.

"Yes I do mean Logan, what's that look for?" I said pissed.

"Logan's a Neko, he's like a child, that's gross."

"Logan's not a child, he's 18, almost 19, that's consenting age."

"He's like a child."

"Lots of adults act like children, like you're acting now." She scoffed and looked offended. "And he's not like a child, he's smart, he even watches the news and documentary channel for fun." I said crossing his arms.

"Fine! Be with him then. But he cannot please you the way I could. I am a strong, beautiful, grown woman, and he's just a small boy with cute cat ears who cannot look after himself."

"That's it! I've had it up to here with you. LOGAN! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What! That's not fair!"

"Ha ha! You got locked in jail!" I laughed at him. Jack got thrown into jail and I had more money and property than him. "I'm going to win!" I cheered.

"It's just beginners luck."

"If that's what makes you feel better, then sure."

"Hey!" He playfully pushed me and I fell over on the pillow laughing.

"LOGAN! GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" I heard David yell. Oh no, did something happen? Did I do something wrong, I was just playing up here with Jackson the whole time.

I got up to go downstairs but Jackson grabbed my hand. "Where are you going?"

"David called me, I need to go."

"But we didn't finish the game." He pouted.

"Maybe we can continue after I see what he wants."

"Ok, I'll go with you." I nodded and we both went downstairs.

We both went downstairs and I saw David with an angry look on his face. Oh no! Did something bad happen?

"Logan, we're going home." He said angrily.

"But-"

"No buts! We're leaving right now, you hear me." I nodded with a small frown.

"Ok David." I walked over to David but Jackson grabbed my hand.

"Can't he stay a little longer! We didn't even get to finish the board game." Jackson whined.

"I'm sorry but he needs to leave now." He grumbled taking my hand. I looked at Jackson.

"Sorry Jackson, I need to go now. Bye bye." I gave him a hug goodbye and he hugged back. He looked sad like he was going to cry.

"Will Logan be back soon." He asked David with puppy dog eyes.

"I don't know!" David dragged me out of the house and put me gently into the car.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I  watched Logan get taken away out the house by his daddy. I didn't want him to go so soon! He was my first friend besides my sisters. It's not fair! We didn't even get to finish monopoly. I know he was probably gonna win the game but we were having lots of fun.

"Mommy, why did Logan have to leave so soon? You said he was gonna stay until 6. Why did his daddy make him leave so early?"

"Logan's daddy was being a stupid jerk so he and Logan had to leave." Mommy said angrily.

"Why? What did his daddy do bad?"

"It's grown up stuff honey."

"Will Logan be coming back soon?"

"I don't think so baby."

"Why not?" I pouted.

"Because his daddy won't be coming by here for a while."

I thought for a second.

"Can Logan come back if his Daddy doesn't stay with him while he's here?"

"Maybe baby, but I do t think he'll let Logan stay over here, now go wash up I'm going to heat up some left overs for supper now."

"Ok mommy." I left to go wash up like she said.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Our drive home was quiet and David looked really mad. I wonder what happened.

"David? Did we leave early 'cause I did something bad?"

"Huh? Not at all baby, why would you think that?"

"Dunno." I shrugged.

"You didn't do something wrong, you were very good, like always."

"Then what happened?" He sighed.

"I don't really want to talk about it right now, ok? But it's fine, you don't need to worry."

"Promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

There was another silence.

"Will I get to play with Jackson again?"

"You and Jackson are friends now, huh? He seemed to really not want you to go."

"Mhm, we played monopoly and I was winning!"

"You were huh?" He chuckled.

"Mhm." I nodded.

"Ok then, I'll see if I can work something out with Carol so you guys can still play together."

"Yay! Thank you David!"

"No problem baby, hey, how about we go get some ice cream."

"Ok. I had ice cream once."

"Once? Only once?"

"Mhm, they brought some in on Joyce's birthday once, it was really yummy."

"Well you'll be getting it more often now because I really like ice cream."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I took Logan for some ice cream. He looked amazed by all the possible flavours he could get. He had problems deciding so I ordered us both some rocky road. He seemed to really like it. He got ice cream all over his mouth which was really cute. I cleaned him up and then took him home. After the day I had with Carol I was exhausted and feeling really stressed so I ordered us some Canadian pizza. He never had pizza before, the look on his face when he tried it fir the first time was priceless. I guess they don't give them a variety of different foods at the shelter.

I put in a Disney movie, Lilo and Stitch 2: stitch has a glitch. We cuddled on the couch and ate pizza as we watched it. He got super into it, he cried at all the sad parts. It was both cute and heartbreaking to watch him cry.

At around 9:30 he got super tired and I put him to bed. He always gets tired at that time so I guess that's his bedtime. This time he slept in my room with me and we snuggled together. He was really soft and small and his body fit perfectly with mine when he curled up against my side. He's so adorable, I think I might be falling for him.

(A/N: I loved that movie...so so much, as a little kid, I should watch it again)
