84 Universal Language Part 8 (2/2)

Roy was sad for losing his money but he still congratulated his friends.

”That was a great fight maybe next time you guys could do what I say and throw the fight. I have bills to pay you know”.

Desmond listing to what his friend said walked up to him and punched him in the stomach.

As Roy held his stomach in pain Desmond said, ”if you want to make money then next time bet it on the right people. Why did you bet against us anyway?”

While rubbing his stomach Roy said, ”haven't you ever heard of the underdog even though the chances of them winning were slim people still bet on them. Plus there was a higher payout if I chance money on him”.

Desmond just sighed at his friend's betrayal then walked towards the bar counter where the cat woman was at. She was still drinking none stop like nothing happened, one drink after another went down her throat and the bartender kept giving her another. It was so autonomous Desmond thought they were both machines.

Trying to get the woman's attention he coughed loudly but got no response so he just spoke plainly.

”Excuse me miss I would just like to say I didn't start that fight because I thought you were some helpless woman. I did it simply because I hate racism to my core it has no place with me. I require no thanks I would have done the same thing if I heard them talking trash like that near me even if it wasn't you”.

When Desmond stopped talking the woman slammed her glass on the counter and said to him. ”I wasn't going to thank you anyway I didn't need any help. All you did was postpone the end of three dead men walking. If you want to be useful try paying my bill instead”.

The woman said as she faced Desmond with a sweet smile on her face. Desmond took no offense to what she said he was to busy geeking out over how amazing the woman's ears were. They were so smooth and pointy the fur blended with the hair on her head. The tail wrapped around her waist was just as delicate and smooth.

Desmond may not have cared about what she said to him, but he had secretly hoped the cat woman would be thankful enough to let him touch her ears. It was the real reason why he started the fight. Desmond may hate racism with a passion, but the opportunity to touch a pair of catgirl ears and tail supersedes racism.
