This is a follow-up story, and will begin some time. My English is very bad, but I wanted to try how the story writing goes.

Please comment, if you found something awkward. I appreciate the comments/faves/votes! ~


Everything seemed as usual as always on the Winter Spa.

Lin stretched, finally the work was done; it's time to close the spa.

  • Len, you'll clean up the places upstairs, so I'll do the same to the downstairs, she stated to her brother, Len Skies.

He nodded, and started to walk lazily to upstairs, whistling a joyful melody. Lin smiled softly. Even though she had to do the clean-up of the bigger layer, she still could see the beautiful night sky from the window. Warm wind blew her bluish fur. That was a perfect weather for a little night walk.

  • Hey, Len, you hear me? Lin exclaimed into upstairs, where her brother were cleaning.

  • Yeah. What is it? Len replied and stopped cleaning for a while.

  • There's really nice weather outside, so if you don't mind that I'll go for a little walk. I'll finish the clean-up later, ok? she said.

  • Err, okay, but please don't just abscond from the clean-up... You need to promise that you'll really clean later, he said, sounding a little suspicious.

Lin chuckled.

  • Of course, I promise, she giggled and opened the front door of the spa. She felt the warm wind on her face, and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. The night sky had a couple of clouds on it, and beautiful stars. She grinned and started to walk. Just somewhere, to get some fresh air.

She looked on the sky as she walked along the dirt road.

There was someone taking some fresh air, too; a male cat with a black fur.

Lin didn't see anyone coming towards her, because she was watching the stars sparkle. She kept walking, and walked toward the black cat. When she noticed that, she looked at in front of her.

  • Oh, I'm really sorry, I was watching those stars, she explained to a stranger she hit. She heard him chuckle.

  • Nah, I don't blame you, I was looking to the ground, so I didn't see you coming either, he chuckled.

  • It still was an accident. And I'm sorry, Lin said to him. Black cat looked into her blue eyes and said:

  • I'm sorry, too. But if I could ask - what's your name? I think I've seen you somewhere.

Lin seemed a little embarrassed.

  • Um, I'm Lin, Lin Skies. And of course you have seen me, I work on Winter Spa. You have been there, haven't you? she blurted.

  • Well, what a nice name, Lin. I'm John Coalfur. Nice to meet you. Oh yeah; I've been there last weekend, there was you and your... brother, right? He truly looked like you, John Coalfur said.

  • Nice to meet you too, John. It was my brother, Len, she answered and smiled a bit, still looking a little embarrassed.

John grinned and grabbed Lin's paw. Lin winced. What was that stranger doing?

  • Could you just visit my place, please? he asked and pulled her closer to himself. Lin started to think. This tomcat seemed pretty nice guy, but she didn't know him. But maybe a visit doesn't hurt anyone.

So she consented.

They both started to walk to John's house, which was located pretty far.

  • Well, here we are now, John said kindly when they arrived to his front garden. That looked pretty nice.

  • What a nice looking house you have, Lin said and looked around.

  • Um, thanks. It's just a simple clean-up done here, so I can invite some friends or something, he chuckled.

He walked to the door, and placed his keys on its lock. He opened the door, and called Lin in. She walked into the vestibule, and started to look around again. The house looked pretty cozy from inside, too.

When John walked in, he turned on the lights and Lin saw an aquarium on a greenish table.

She walked around in the living room, which had couple of bluish couches close to the walls. There was a table in the middle of the room. - Well then, you like it? John asked and smiled. Lin nodded and smiled too. - If you've seen the house now, can we go to a walk? he asked, and walked next to his guest. - Alright. But it's getting pretty cool, so I recommend you to take a jacket or something, Lin chuckled. John grabbed a black hoodie which was hanging on a door handle. They both walked out from the front door, and started to talk about some things. - Well, if you want, you can sometimes come to visit, if you want, John blurted. He wanted Lin to be his friend - or even something more. - Now I know where you live, so I could do that, Lin chuckled. John really seemed like a nice guy.

When they walked along a dirt road, the night was getting colder. They sat on a brownish bench, close to the each other. Lin noticed that she had to finish the clean-up. - Um, John, I think I gotta go now. I promised Len to finish the clean-up. If I don't arrive back to the spa, he thoughts that I lied to him, she tried to explain to her mate. - It's alright. I think we can hang out again? he said. Lin was glad that he understood. - Of course! she piped and stood up. When she was about to leave, she kissed John on the nose. Black tomcat blushed. Lin waved, and started to walk to the Winter Spa. The clean-up was waiting her. John Coalfur looked as his friend walked into the dark. When he stood up himself, a big grin was surrounding his face. He met a gal who would be a nice friend. Or even something more.
