After a good half an hour of picking around his apartment -under the scraps of clothes left in the hall, between couch cushions, and on every countertop- you find your wallet sandwiched under his shoulder.
you spend the morning figuring out his coffee pot and petting his cat (who chirps and beeps when you feed him a little bit of dry food). The apartment is sparsely decorated, a couple of old books piles on the shelves. you pick at one-- a study book for some fucking test.
around noon, the man emerges, sheepish and still barely clothed, only briefs on. his little pet hops off of your lap and meeps it's way over to his owner, twirling between his legs as he walks.
"Are you waiting for this?" he holds your wallet out. there's an imprint of it on his skin, red and swollen.
"thanks," you say. he tosses it your way and it flops on the couch. "I would have left, but..."
"you made coffee; you can stay as long as you want." He pours himself a cup and downs half of it. Dark circles sit under his deep set eyes. All of his features are bold -dark hair, nose like a dolphins fin- except his subtle smile, just barely pulled up in the corners. There's a charm to him, one you certainly saw last night. "do you want a shower? wash the cat hair off of you?"
"It's not the cat hair I'm worried about," you say too quickly. he snorts at that before busying himself with feeding his pet. Pulling an open can from the fridge, he pops to food into a dish, then turns to his kettle.
"Are you heating up the cat food?"
"He likes it warm." It only takes a couple seconds for the dredge of water to heat up. He adds it on top of the food and sets it down-- and the cat in question digs in. "He's a sophisticated man."
You sip the last of your drink. The mug is stamped with some sort of pun - this lawyer is always appealing.
Your one night stand blanchs a bit at that. "Uh, well- Lumps."
You don't even get to ask the question.
"My ex named him." He's quick to say. "She's not in the picture, so you don't-- last night was okay from a moral aspect."
"Only okay?" you tease, despite yourself.
"From a moral aspect," he repeats. He takes a long drink, a satisfied gasp at the end. "Phenomenal from an everything else standpoint."
