Chapter 56 - Me - Part【3】
Two months ago Momo had noiselessly sneaked into my cabin hunting for a meal through the tiny crack of the window that I had purposely left open for fresh air. By the time I had returned from my shower, I was surprised to see the mess he had made of my kitchen. I had caught him redhanded in the act with his cheeks rammed with whatever he could find.
I had lured him to me with several offerings of cheese, seeds and fruits which he graciously accepted from me. After that day Momo barely left my home he preferred to stay in and savour what I offered, he was like me in a way asking to be spoiled so I built a cage and a nest for him. It is where he naps for most of the day either in there or sprawled on Phobos's bed which he absolutely adores.
An unexpected high pitched ringtone of the phone my male gifted me with has me rush towards the dining table to pick it up.
"Hello, Theia." Her soothing voice has me beam as always. She often calls me a few days a week our friendship truly has evolved. A need to chat with another has developed between the both of us.
"Lumina." I greet back with affection towards this female.
"How was your training today?"
"You would not believe it! I made a female submit to me and Vdce seemed impressed." A small squeal crosses my lips as I bounce on the heels of my feet only to be met by her chuckle.
"That sounds great. I am happy for you." She utters whilst I prepare the ingredients to cook something hoping to fill my rumbling belly. "How are you feeling? Your male shall return to you in two months."
"So many sensations seem to be combined into one. I feel troubled in a way yet I also feel so excited and content."
"I suggest you discuss your truth with him properly to slaughter some of his assumptions."
"I shall. I think it is for the best. Thank you for giving me the courage." I whisper bringing the receiver closer to my mouth. I am genuinely grateful to her for she has counselled me in many ways and has offered me tremendous support in my time of need. "How is your male today?"
"Sucking hungrily on my sore right tit." She sighs as I hear the low gratified gurgles of her pup. I can identify the fatigue in her voice being a mother is no easy role this I know.
"Kal seems to be quite the drinker." I tease as she scoffs at my words.
"Goodness, his appetite seems to be neverending. I cannot wait until he begins to eat and ceases demanding for my breasts."
"And what of Deimos? How is he doing? That male hardly calls me anymore."
There is a bitter silence that follows my inquiry which swamps me in confusion as she often evades any initiated conversation about him. "Lumina?" I call her name amiably as my eyes widen to her sniffs and faint whimpers. Is...is she weeping?
"Lumina are you all right?"
"Y-Yes I am fine. I apologize, this is embarrassing." She mumbles her voice weak and helpless.
"Has something happened back there? Is it Deimos, has he done something? If he has indeed done so pass the phone to him this instant and I shall put some sense into him!"
"No no. He hasn't done anything my emotions are just all over the place since I had Kal please do not mind me." Why? Why do her words seem like lies to me as though she wishes to conceal his sins?
"I understand. This is quite common among new mothers, I hope that stupid male is always beside you and is being supportive."
She laughs uproariously at my words, she finds them to be humorous. "Only you would call Deimos stupid."
"He is though, he always has been in a way," I express my truth whilst a sharp rap on my main door has me briskly whirl around to open it. "Give me a second, Lumina."
"Of course." She responds as I sneak the phone beneath my back trudging towards the door yanking it open only to be met with an apologetic face of Moira.
"I am so sorry to disturb you but-" She begins to reason with me for her disturbance but is cut off by her hyperactive male who leaps out from his hiding spot behind her flesh.
"Storytime!" He shrieks hopping up and down revealing to me just how much he is enthusiastic about this though there is merely around thirty minutes left to start the event.
"I did my best to subdue him but then the rest of the pups came to my hut banging on my door to fetch you. They are waiting for you." She bows deeply in apology whilst Argus sprints around in circles holding his box of colour pencils and other things. "Argus zklidni se!"
(Argus calm down)
She seems to have her hands full with her pup and I am rather sure the rest of the mothers are expecting me to go now as well. "Give me a few seconds I shall fetch my load."
"Thank you, Krlovna." She remarks as I hurriedly rush to my room closing the door behind me to hoist the phone back to my ear. "Lumina?"
"I heard it all. I shall call you later tend to the pups first. Take care Theia." Lumina whispers as I pick up the crate from the table. My first meal of the day must wait I suppose.
"Goodbye Lumina," I immediately end our call bustling out to accompany Moira and Argus to the fields.
"Argus, did you sharpen the pencils as I asked you to?" I question peeking down at the tiny pup as he instantly raises his head towards me with eagerness.
"Yes. Mama helped me."
"Luna. You will call her Luna when you speak with her. Kolikrt t to mm nauit?" Moira gently smacks the back of his head in criticising as a small upset whimper parts his mouth.
(How many times must I teach you this?)
"Omlouvm se mama," Argus states to his mother as she sternly narrows her eyes down at him.
(I am sorry mama)
"It is all right he is merely a pup," I speak whilst I delicately ruffle his hair lighting up his spirits once more.
"Pups here are to be disciplined appropriately and must whatsoever respect their elders at all costs." Moira declares as I nod at her terms. Indeed Argus is playful and spoilt in a way but he is profoundly respectful and obedient like the other pups his age.
Whilst we wander towards the location of the event I discern all the pups are seated patiently upon their designated places on the ground ready with their art stocks. Their mothers have dressed them snugly with cut fur hats, coats and boots to keep them warm.
"Dobr veer." I greet aloud to the little ones whilst the boisterous chatter comes to a standstill as they turn around to welcome me with broad grins. Awan perches in his usual place by the front by the campfire whilst I stride forward to take my seat at his left.
(Good evening)
"What are we going to do today, Luna?" Calix a very inquisitive male questions peeking up at me from below his lashes.
"Today you shall all draw something," I reply removing the leftover papers and pencils I have left from the box to share with them. I must speak with Phobos about this for I need more supplies for the pups perhaps I can acquire them in the next trade.
"What will we draw?"
"You will draw something or someone that means a lot to you, Danae. And once you are done each one of you will show and tell a story about your drawing with the rest." I gaze at the female with her long neatly groomed braids who is sat closely next to Calix as I answer her. These two are Argus's closest friends.
"Can we draw butterflies?"
"Yes, you can."
"Can I draw my favourite fruit? It is an apple."
"Yes."
"What about the hut I live with mama?"
"Yes, you can draw that too Argus. Anything as long as it holds deep meaning to you. And remember when you wish to speak to Awan you raise your hand so he can see you.." I acknowledge all the questions of the pups with patience whilst I surrender the case to Awan who briskly stands up to capture it from my hands.
