"So this is my house and that's my pet cat Aiden,"
I gestured to Ben.
As soon as Aiden saw Ben he started growing.
"It's okay Aiden," I tried to calm him down. He did stop growling but kept staring at Ben angrily.
" I think your cat doesn't like me much," Ben said and started laughing.
" I will start the movie C'mon in," I said to Ben.
We started watching movie together but soon after that Ben kissed me and it turned passionate.
" You are... so.. good..Eleen," he mumbled between kissing.
Out of nowhere Aiden jumped on his back.
" Aah! What the hell!" Ben screamed and tried to remove Aiden.
"Aiden! Leave him! What are you doing?" I shouted but before I could take him down he sunk his teeth deep in Ben's back inside his flesh.
" Aaaa....aahhh!" That hurts you darned cat Ben screamed and tried to forcefully throw him away.
"Dammit! Calm down Ben! Aiden come down!" I once again tried to take him down.
Ben's white shirt stained red he was bleeding.
It turned into chaos.
Aiden scratched his face too before finally I grabbed him.
" This useless piece of shit! I am gonna kill him!" Ben shouted and started coming towards Aiden with a lamp which he took from the table.
No I can't let him hurt Aiden. Aiden is just a cat.
" Nooo! Don't touch him Ben! You can't hurt him!" I said and came between Ben and Aiden.
" Don't you see what he did?" Ben said.
" Ben are you seriously gonna hurt an animal?"
" It's useless anyway Eleen. Throw it away. I am leaving bye," he closed the door so forcefully it banged and he left.
I went down on my knees and picked up Aiden.
"Are you okay Aiden? Did you get hurt? Come here!" I started petting it and it purred.
" Why did you do it Aiden ? Bad manners," I chided him.
Suddenly my phone ringed it was an unknown number I answered it.
"Stay away from my boyfriend bitch!" a woman's angry voice boomed.
" Excuse me!" I replied shocked.
" Ben River is my boyfriend! How dare you try to take him from me? Dare I see you with him ever again! I swear I will kill you—," she was still blabbering but Aiden jumped from my lap and his paws disconnected the call.
I looked at him and he stared back at me with those dark beautiful eyes of his.
" So this is why you did it my dear, I see," I hugged him. Sometimes I really feel that he knows the best.

"We broke up, " I said to my friend Sally.
"What? Why? What happened? I told you he is not good for you Eleen but what did he do? Should I break his neck?" she asked me in such a serious tone I started giggling.
"Nope don't worry your head my dear Aiden here already did enough," I said and petted him.
" Now spill the tea. You and Aiden what did the two of you do? You had a fun time I am sure." she demanded.
Aiden meowed happily as if not only he understood the question but also was recounting what he did last night. Seeing this I couldn't help but smile and thus I told everything to Sally about last night.
" Wow Aiden! Good job! See your pet is better. Even he knows an idiot when he sees one. Last time also Aiden had caused accident of that drunkard bastard by scaring him on the stairs and he broke his leg later on we discovered he was not only a drunkard but also a drug addict when we took him to hospital. Looks like Aiden is the best male species you will ever find Eleen because you really have bad taste in men," Sally laughed at my expense and petted Aiden.
I sighed. She is not wrong Nathan my ex too had cheated on me after 3 years of relationship that too with the girl I hated the most. The day I broke up with him was the worst five months ago. My favourite dress was ruined that day too. The only good that had happened was I had found Aiden he was trying to steal fish that I had made for dinner.
That memory of this cat hanging on the cupboard and trying to snatch that fish made me smile. I looked at Aiden and he too turned to look at me at that moment. This little cat has always cheered me up on my bad days since then.
" Well I do agree Sally our little Aiden here is the best. If he would have been an actual human it would have been great, " I joined Sally in her laughter and took Aiden from her to gently scratch behind his ears.

Aiden and I came back to home from Sally's place.
As soon as I entered I felt something was not right. It felt too chilly. Aiden too felt it because he tensed in my arms.
"Did I leave the windows open or what?" I mumbled and went it. Aiden jumped down from my arms.
I checked the windows. They were closed.
Damn why is it so chilly.
Suddenly the lights started flickering. What the hell is happening in this house.
I switched off the lights and turned it on again. They stopped flickering and then suddenly they went out completely. The room became dark. I tried to once again switch it on in vain.
"Hmmm," a faint humming sound filled the air all of a sudden.
"Who is there? Who the hell is there? Come out right now!" As soon as I shouted everything went eerily quite.
All at once the mirrors in my room cracked. I wanted to run but I couldn't help my legs were trembling and weren't ready to budge.
A dark shadow started making it's way towards me.
Aiden jumped out of the blue in front of me and in an instant that cat turned into a complete grown up man thin wisps of red smoke was around him he caught the black shadow in his hand.
That black shadow turned into a frightening disheveled pale face with long dark hairs black liquid was oozing out of it and dark black clouds swirling around it. It was frightening. Without realising I grabbed the fabric the person in front of me was wearing and hid behind his back peeping just enough to see the ghostly thing or whatever he held.
"How dare you try to touch my lady you worthless scum! I will send you to hell with my own hands." he said in a cold yet angry tone, one that sends shivers down the spine.
He squeezed that evil 's neck tightly and a bright red flame engulfed his hand which slowly started burning that evil. It made a horrific screeching sound and slowly disappeared with the red flames.
My heart was still pounding in my chest.
The person in front of me turned to face me. His hands went back to normal and his deep red burning eyes turned back to beautiful dark and shiny. He had deep black hairs with a very handsome chiseled face. He was much taller than me and the shirt he was wearing hung on his muscular chest and arms perfectly.
" Are you alright my lady? You didn't get hurt, did you? It's ok now," he said in a smooth voice laced with worry unlike that scary one in which he had spoken before and put one of his hands on my head lightly.
"Wh...who are you?" I asked.
" I am the Devil King but you can call me Aiden the name you gave to me my lady. It's a nice name." He answered.
"Aiden?! Yo..you.. are really..my Aiden?"
Hearing this his full red lips curved up in a bright smile.
" Yes, all yours my lady," he said happily and kissed the back of my hand with his warm soft lips.
My heartbeat went erratic and my face felt warm.
"So from now on don't look at any other man apart from me my love. I promise to protect you and never ever leave you," he turned solemn and his voice was tinted with jealousy.
" Why..me?" I said softly. I couldn't believe this mighty and handsome Devil King want me.
" Because you are smart, nice and kind and I had liked it a lot the way you had thrown the sandal that man had given you on his face when he had come to try to explain you why he was with your enemy," he said and grinned wickedly.
I couldn't help myself too hearing that I giggled.
" What are you doing on Earth mr. Devil?" I asked.
" I had come to enjoy a little time my sweet Eleen but you made this Devil your pet so I had to stay," he replied cheerfully, " will you continue to let me stay by your side and be mine my love?" he asked so politely and lovingly.
I nodded and he pulled me in sweet and passionate kiss. My hands went around his neck and into his soft hairs just like Aiden's fur.
Thus, Eleen became the beloved queen of the Devil King and got her happy ending.
