Chapter 34

• --The next Morning--
• My hand mindlessly roams the bed .. hmm. No Rafael. Instead I feel something fuffy squirming under the comforter on Rafael's side. I peel back the covers and find Ice and Shadow play fighting. They stop and look at me with their ears pricked up and heads tilted to the side. "What are you boys doing huh?" I say in a playful tone and Shadow jumps up to lick my face. "Okay okay .. down." He stopped and layed down in my lap. I scratched behind his ear and feel him lean into my hand. "Good boy" I hear the door click and Rafael comes in.
• "Morning baby" He smiled. It took a minute for me to notice but he's sweaty and wearing gym clothes. He makes a b-line straight for me. I hold my hands out and block him.
