Spooky Cat Creeps Acte 3

Acte 3.

 

Daisie watched as the male figure turned around,her quick eyes spying him quickly stuffing a letter into his pocket .

 

He faced her grinning and all too familiar ( and decidedly welcomed) grin.

 

Utterly Gobsmacked, Daisie stood frozen for a second before her lustful reactions fully kicked in!

 

“David!!!” She cried scurrying to his arms , falling into a needful embrace!

 

But something was not right. David was too rigid,cold ,and hesitating!

 

As she looked up into his face, Daisie knew something was not quite right.

 

“Dais ,” David said pulling away from her...

 

“I,I met someone ...” he admitted, his voice trailing off as he looked around the room.

 

Spying Spooky cat walking out on the patio he spoke , to himself, as he watched.

 

“I see the scoundrel is still in fit form, must be lovely to be a cat, confident and never repentant!”

 

“David what are you saying !” Daisie wailed at him in questioning disbelief.

 

He turned back to Daisie who stood looking, cat holding onto his own tongue as she tried hard to read into David’s hazel eyes!”

 

 

Finally after a few anguishing seconds of muted silence he spoke :

 

Dais, I was coming here to tell you, even wrote a letter and was going to leave it here for you to find, the coward that I am for not facing you.

 

 

Tears were streaming down both thier faces, glistening in the pale light of the moonlit room

 

 

But then, I came here, to this cottage, to this room where we have been together so many times and I realized I was home, that my home, is with you my darling

 

 

“My lord David!” Exclaimed Daisie , please dont, I , I lo...”

 

 

But she couldn’t finish, standing there dejected and feeling partially rejected!”

 

 

“Forgive me, please my luv!” David said looking as miserable as a hungry kitten...

 

 

Daisie flew to him..

 

 

They embrace and hug passionately.

 

 

Then slowly, still embracing, they began to dance to the music still playing out from the gramophone.

 

€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€€

 

Two hours later, all had been said that could be said between the two as their romance had been engagingly rekindled like never before.

 

 

Both of the sweethearts were now quite sitting close to another on the love seat staring out onto the desolate patio crisscrossed with the thin black shadows from the branches of the surrounding trees..

 

 

As Spooky walked in regally from outside through the still open door, David broke the long standing silence..

 

 

He took in breath as if just remembering something..not really wanting the moment to end, but curious as to a question he wished answered.

 

 

Daisie felt this and waited, expectantly, but when David spoke, was surprised by the topic.

 

 

“Bye the bye luv, I saw something odd in the old cemetery in the hollow at the bottom of your hill”

 

 

“ odd , in what manner ?” Daisie asked .

 

 

“ looked like A man in black , slinking suspiciously about !”

 

 

“Silly ninny!” Daisie said endearingly like she was talking to a beloved child.

 

 

“If he was in the cemetary, that probably was our local ghost Craig Abbott.

I know I’ve told you about him, the highway man who was hung from a tree there after robbing a lady’s coach. I think he is still looking for fair young maids to rob, so I’ve heard tell.”

 

 

“Thought he was carrying something glittery. “ David admitted, “But I still see you have your jewels he said lifting her necklace. So he didn’t take them !” He added

 

 

“Silly goose!” Daisie gently teased. “He’s a ghost , can’t properly take mine or any other ladies jewels, now very well could he?”

 

Daisie added “It would ‘ave to be a re’al highwayman to do that luv, and ain’t any been around these parts for a few long years now!”

 

 

David grins lustily as he ponders a thought.

“

Maybe we should take a walk outside tonight, give your ghostly highwayman Craig a tidbit to be nostalgic about my luv?”

 

 

“Whatever for sir?” Daisie asked knowing full well what he was up to..

 

 

For there were the games David liked to play, adventuresome ones that just drew one in heart and soul , some made up on the spur of the moment, like this one was now !

 

 

And if he was up to playing one now, there was the proof in the pudding that her old David was back and things between them were absolutely right as a warm springs rain!

 

 

She rose and taking his hand lifted him up from the couch.

 

 

“Come with me then my Highwayman..” She said, with the devils own look reflected in her green eyes.

 

 

As they headed out onto the shadow draped patio leading towards the woods, Spooky cat slipped out behind them and after watching the pair, recognized that by their their antics, seen all too many times before, he wasn’t getting fed anytime soon by this lot.

 

 

Spooky sighed deeply to himself in the manner of a bored yawn, and glancing back for a second at the lovestruck pair, turned and haughtily meandered off down to his favorite hunting spot within the the ancient cemeterygrounds located at the bottom of the hollow.

 

 

And at that moment, in that very cemetery, now lit by a full moon; a midnight black figure, shrouded in dark shadows, moved in and out of the white weathered tombstones. In his pale white hands something quite glittery was dangling down.

 

 

As he walked, quite somberly along a well treaded path, , he was, as always, all too silently alone on his ancient yearning quest .

 

The end

 

Happy Halloween 🎃
