Rainbow Snippets*-- But Is It Perfectly Normal? (find out next week!)

Peppercorn (11 weeks) Not the best picture, but I was trying to get one that would show the changes in his fur. His head, legs, and tail are black and have lost their fuzz, while his body is a reddish dark-brown and still long-haired. It'll be interesting to see how it all settles over the next few months. Oh, and the meds seem to have worked. Still the occasional sneeze, but no more matted eyes.

This week's excerpt is part 3 of 4 from Headphones: Sunshine Smile. Annalise is the lead singer in another band and one of the housemates' girlfriend, although their relationship is rocky at best. She's not a pleasant person. Read part one here and part two here. 

Mick was courteous to the brunette over the course of the next couple of hours, listening politely when she made suggestions. After the instruments were put away and the crew had grabbed their favorite beverages and perches, Annalise found a spot on the couch next to him. He threaded his fingers into the back of Headphones’ shirt when she brought him another beer and pulled her down onto his lap, his free arm possessively holding her against his chest.

The girl sensed his silent laughter when Annalise threw black looks their way; her unease was evident when he began nuzzling into Headphones' hair. Headphones wriggled on his lap until her butt was sideways between his legs, her knees bent over his thigh and her feet flat on the cushion between the two singers. With her arms wrapped around his neck, she kissed him, all tongue and growly noises vibrating at the back of her throat. The unwanted guest covertly glanced around the room to see who else was shocked by the young woman’s behavior, but they continued their conversations, drinking and laughing as if it was perfectly normal.
