Breakfast with a tiger
#14 of My days with Alex
Our wolf shares a morning with his tiger...
G'day! Here's the next chapter of MDWA! I wasn't quite sure on what direction I wanted to take things from now on and I'm honestly still not entirely sure, but I guess we'll just have to see where things goes as things progresses! Remember to comment, vote, fav and all that good stuff! Especially comments are welcome! Have fun!
I could feel a shuffling next to me and the slight sound of the bedspring made my ears give a quick flick. It felt as if someone had just laid down on the bed, and my sleepy, subconscious suspicions were probably true as I could feel an arm gently put itself around my chest and someone slowly and gently pressing himself, or herself, up against my back, probably to get added warmth and coziness.
I was in a state somewhere between sleep and waking up, having been shaken from my dreams by the shuffling on the bed. I was waking up now, whether I wanted to or not, and after a few moments I slowly opened my eyes, feeling just a slight bit of confusing at the unfamiliar walls that I could barely see in this dark room. It took a few more moments and a few eye blinks before I remembered what I had been doing just a few hours ago, and as the memories got more and more clear to me a small smile crept upon my face.
When my mind felt somewhat clear enough I started to turn my body around to face whoever was pressing himself up against my back and softly breathing warm air against my upper neck. I could hear a soft purring when I started turning, and when I finally came face to face to the fur it came to no surprise to me to see who it was.
It's not like I had expected anyone else.
"Morning."
Alex smiled at me and I could feel the paw that had been placed at my chest now give my back a soft, gentle rub. I did my best to suppress a yawn, still feeling tired but not wanting to give the tiger a mouthful of possible morning breath.
"Morning..." I replied and let a paw wrap around the tiger to return those slow, gentle back rubs. I kept hearing him purring softly and I gave him a soft, tired smile.
"What time is it?"
"About 5:30. Not yet time to get up..."
I gave a groan at the early hour, as it was far too early compared when I usually would get up on a workday. He gave a small chuckle and got a bit closer to me for even more warmth and coziness.
"Sorry I woke you up. Had to go to the bathroom."
The mentioning of the bathroom made me aware of my own bladder maybe wanting some attention soon, too. It was not an urge I couldn't ignore though, and since I really just wanted to stay in the bed with the warm tiger pressed against me I gladly did that.
"Lets go back to sleep..."
His words sounded tempting indeed, and I gave a soft, appreciative rumble when I felt him give me a quick kiss on my muzzle before he closed his eyes and nuzzled up against me and rested his head against my chest. I smiled to myself again as I, too, closed my eyes and nuzzled right back against him and allowed myself to slowly drift back to sleep.
My eyes snapped open as I was once again woken up, feeling like I had just drifted back to sleep. I saw the tiger that I had apparently been hugging the whole time shuffle around on the bed and trying to find whatever was making the noise that had made me wake up, and probably made him wake up too. I gave a yawn as I watched him find what he was looking for, his cellphone, and then tap on a button to make the noise stop. He put the phone away with a slight groan and then a yawn before he returned to me and just snuggled right back up against me.
"Time to get up" he said with a slight frown, apparently wanting to sleep some more.
"What's the time?"
"6.30"
No wonder it felt like I hadn't really gotten any sleep at all. An hour would often just pass by quickly when you slept. It was also half an hour earlier than I was used to get up...
"When do you have to be at work?" I asked him while idly rubbing a paw a long his sides.
"At 8."
Half an hour earlier than me then. Oh well, guess we really should get up then.
I gave a yawn and heard him give a little chuckle.
"And you?"
I reached a paw to give my belly a quick morning scratch before replying.
"8.30"
"Lucky!"
I gave a little chuckle at his reaction, but I didn't blame him. Working 8.30 A.M. to 4 P.M. was nice and it probably beat his work hours of 8 to 5.
"Want to switch jobs?"
He gave a chuckle and thought for a moment
"Don't think I'd be much good in making software."
"You could learn!"
"Would you teach me?"
"Maybe..."
He gave a soft giggle and then reached his muzzle forward to give me a quick kiss. I heard him purr softly and my ears flicked a bit while my tail wagged slowly at feeling his lips touching mine for a moment.
He pulled himself back after the kiss and looked at me with a slight grin.
"Want to go and take a shower together?"
The thought of showering together with the handsome tiger was certainly a nice one and it caused a reaction in my more private parts even though them being a bit sore from last night's happenings.
It didn't take long before we found ourselves in Alex's shower while making out and helping each other clean more than just our backs. Shower sex was definitely something I enjoyed a lot, and I'm sure Alex did too as he really got into it and almost forgot that he had to get ready for work and not just stay in the shower together with me. Eventually we both got out of the shower, smelling of his shampoo and dripping wet. We helped to dry each other off before he went to get some bathrobes for both of us.
"What do you want for breakfast?" he asked me when we entered his small kitchen and he made me sit down by the round kitchen table. The kitchen was nothing special. It had a bunch of drawers and cabinets and all the usual kitchen stuff but it was pretty small and would've probably felt a little bit cramped if there were more than just the two of us in there.
"Just cereal, if you have some. Maybe some coffee, too?"
He smiled and nodded at me as he opened one of the cabinets and got a box of corn flakes out and put it on the table before also fetching some milk, a bowl and a spoon. He then quickly prepared his coffeemaker so that we both could enjoy some nice morning coffee. He put that striped rump of his down on the chair in front of mine, smiling at me as he watched me pour cereal for myself.
"You're not gonna eat anything?" I asked him as he was seemingly not grabbing anything for himself. He shook his head while still smiling.
"We get free breakfast at the store. One of the benefits of working there. I usually only have some morning coffee and a fruit here before heading off."
Free breakfast sounded like a pretty good benefit for working at that store and as I munched on my milk drenched corn flakes I thought about how nice it would've been if we had that at work as well. We had free coffee, but that was about it. We used to have sandwiches and things like that too, but then the company thought it was an unnecessary expense and that everyone could just bring their own sandwiches.
"Sounds nice!" I told him after swallowing a mouthful of corn flakes.
"It is! And we get to choose from different things too. Usually we can choose if we want either bread, cereal or yoghurt and fruits."
"Doesn't the store lose profit though by giving you a lot of free breakfast like that?"
He shrugged a bit and flicked an ear.
"Nah, they make enough money to be able to easily afford it. It's only the ones on the morning shift that gets that privilege anyway, and a loaf of bread or one box of cereal isn't going to show up in the paperwork when they do their monthly budget check."
I swallowed another mouthful of cereal and gave a nod. The coffeemaker was making it's familiar noise and a nice scent of coffee was slowly getting stronger, telling us that we'd soon get our much needed morning coffee.
I heard him purr softly again when the smell of the coffee reached his nose.
"Do you get anything like that at your workplace?"
I had just scooped some more cereal into my maw and I quickly chewed and swallowed to respond to his question.
"We get free coffee, but that's about it. We used to get sandwiches too, but not anymore."
"Why not?"
"It got too expensive. There's at least a hundred furs working in the company, and buying sandwiches everyday for that many furs probably isn't cheap."
His eyes widened just a little bit of surprise.
"Oh! I didn't realize there were that many working there! Do most of you just make code and work with software?"
His tail swayed slowly from side to side and I couldn't help but to wag my own since the tiger really seemed curious about me and my workplace.
"No, we got different departments. Most of them are in one way or another related to computer software or hardware though."
He gave a nod and then let me scoop some more cereal into my maw before he spoke again.
"Do you enjoy just writing code all day?"
That was a question I had to think a little bit about how to answer. I did enjoy my job most of the time, but it could get... pretty boring at times.
"Yeah, I do. It's not always the best kind of job as it can get pretty boring when you're hired to write something pretty easy. But when you get hired to write the more advanced stuff it gets really interesting and challenging!"
He gave a chuckle and smile.
"Do you think you'll always be doing that?"
I thought again for a moment and then shook my head a bit.
"No, not really. I like it right now, but I think I'll get bored of it eventually and want to find a different job."
He nodded again and then looked over towards the coffeemaker, the scent of coffee having gotten increasingly stronger. It seemed to be ready and he got up from his chair and went to get to cups out of one his many cabinets and I couldn't help myself but to catch just a quick sneak peak at that great striped rear of his. It did look pretty damn good, after all.
He quickly poured some of the coffee into two cups and then returned to the table and handed me one of them. I took a sip and then rumbled deeply as the taste hit my tongue. He let out a chuckle at my rumble before sipping on his own coffee.
I put the cup back down and scooped some more cereal into my maw.
"What about you? I think you said yesterday that you'd probably want a different job at some point."
His ears flicked when I asked the question after swallowing the cereal. He seemed a bit surprised that I had remembered him telling me that yesterday, but he smiled and gave a nod.
"Yeah, I think I will. Not quite sure what kind of job though. Just something... different."
"I guess lifting boxes and scanning wares isn't the most challenging?"
"No, it isn't. But it does keep me in good shape to lift all those boxes!"
He gave a little smirk and a playful wink. I chuckled a bit.
"Well, you're definitely right about that!"
I returned his playful wink and he gave a soft laugh. His tail swished happily from side to side and I thought it looked like he was blushing just a little bit.
Our breakfast continued on for a bit with the two of us just doing some of that playful flirting back and forth while discussing our jobs a little bit more. Eventually we had to get going though since both of us had to get to work. We had decided that he'd drop me off at my place so that I could get a change of clothes. It meant he would get a little bit late to work, but he didn't mind. I guess he was just happy to have spent the morning with someone else.
"I had a lot of fun with you, Robert. We should meet up again!"
We were parked by the sidewalk outside of where I lived and I was just about to get out of the car. He looked at me with that nice smile of his and a slight blush on his cheek, and I too could feel my cheeks heat up just a little bit.
"I think so too, Alex."
I felt him place his paw on my thigh and give it a gentle squeeze.
"Want to maybe, uh, go see a movie tomorrow or something?"
I'd usually try to hang out with my best friend during the weekends, but since he was still out of town I didn't really have anything else to do. And even if he was in town I think he'd understand if I wanted to hang out with Alex instead of him this Friday. After all, I hadn't had someone like Alex in my life for quite some time.
"That would be fun!"
It would definitely be more fun than just spending the Friday alone in my apartment with nothing to do.
"We can decide on when to meet up over the phone. I really need to get going."
I watched him give the clock in his car's dashboard a quick glance and I nodded and opened the car door to get out. But before I could swing my legs out I felt him suddenly pull me close and a paw turning my muzzle to face him, and our lips locked with each other one final time. I felt a bit startled at first but it didn't take long for me to enjoy the sudden goodbye kiss. There was the slight taste and scent of toothpaste in his breath, as well as his very own taste, and I got a bit lost in the kiss for a moment. I heard him purr deeply and I really just wanted nothing more right now but to stay here and keep kissing him while listening to his purrs.
The kiss didn't last long though, as he did indeed have to get going. He gave me a smile as our lips parted and I couldn't help but to pant for a moment, having lost my breath just a little bit by the sudden kiss.
"See ya, Robert. I'll call you tonight!"
I quickly got out of the car to make sure I didn't keep him here for much longer since I didn't want him to get overly late to work. As I got out I leaned down and looked into the car, smiling back at him.
"Bye, Alex. Take care!"
We gave each other a wave before I straightened myself up and closed the car door. I then watched as he drove away and I figured he was watching me through the rear-view mirror since he started waving at me again. I waved back at him with a low, happy sigh before I decided to head to my apartment and get some clean clothes for work.
It felt really good to have someone like Alex in my life again.
