Commission for

It’s been roughly a week or so since the two’s plans had been washed out in the home of Hunter and Zez. Hunter had been working tirelessly the last few days to help the male when it comes to the bills. She saw he had been working tirelessly these past few days, double shifts even.

“Hmmm...The feline pondered. What can I do to make his day feel a little better…” She pondered, through the day. Until it hit her like a ton of bricks. “I got an awesome idea!” She bonked her hand against her palm. “Why don’t I take our date on a round two, only this time...Maybe not so messy. Between the sandwiches and the club soda it just got a bit crazy on clean up.” The feline pondered.

“Why don’t we go to the park...I mean… It’s a fairly safe area, we can go to the playground, there’s like a food stand out there usually. Get a snack and just enjoy the day!” She bounced up with excitement.

The woman took herself into her their room and went through their clothes looking for the perfect dress. Picking out a lovely blue dress with a white trim to it. She places it against her body and spun herself back and forth lookin at it in the mirror. “This should do perfectly! Now comes the hardest part...Waiting for the big lug to finally come home!” She giggled.

Several hours had passed and the dutiful feline had dinner graciously set upon the dining room table. A nice pork roast set on a platter dressed with a side of cooked greens, even two glasses of white wine paired so nicely on the table with it.

Hunter sat at the table in a fairly modest looking dress. A smile ear to ear on her face. The door opening just across the room as the fluffy canine stepped through the door. A look of complete exhaustion written across his face.

“Welcome home sweetie! Why don’t you come and relax?” She slipped over to his side from her chair and wrapped her arms around him. “I made you a nice dinner and everything!” She giggled leaning up kissing his cheek.

The canine looked to her with a big smile on his face, wrapping his fuzzy paw around her waist and laughed. “What’s the occasion?” He smiled planting a loving kiss on her forehead.

“Can’t your loving lady do something sweet for her big fuzz ball? Come on and sit!” She pushed him over to the table.

“Haha hey hey! I can walk on my own!” He smiled laughing. His eyes glanced over at the still quite warm meal sitting on the table before him. “Wow…! You really pulled out all the stops huh?” He said amazed. “The roast looks incredible. The vegetables look amazing.” He paused and smiled looking over to her . “You didn’t have to do this.”

“Well I wanted to silly. I mean, you work your tail off for us. I see you day in and day out working so hard it breaks my heart seeing you so tired and so overworked. I wanted in a small way to make you feel better.” She giggled, her tail flicking back and forth.

Zez sat himself down at his place at the table, taking a deep breath. Before he paused with what could only be described as an epiphany. “Oh my god.” He exclaimed.

Hunter looked at him, with a forkful of collards up to her lips. “What!? What is it?” She questioned worriedly.

“You’re pregnant. Aren’t you?” He grinned ear to ear. “Honey that’s great news!” He exclaimed.

“Eh!? No! What?? No no no I’m not pregnant. Why would you draw that conclusion!?” She asked, almost offended by his conclusion.

“Well I mean...It’s not often we get such a bountiful spread I honestly thought there was more to it.” He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly laughing.

“No...I mean, I’m just doing this because I love you; you doofus. And because honestly I wanted to talk to you about a possible date idea honey. I mean how would you feel about taking tomorrow off? I mean...We could go to the park, get a bite to eat...maybe even something else. If all goes well.” Her words trailed off with a purr.

The canine’s face reddened. “Oh my Hunter...I didn’t think you had such a naughty streak in you. I don’t know what’s gotten into you but I like it~!” His tail wagged.

Hunter’s face reddened embarrassed. “I-I didn’t mean like that! I was talking about maybe some ice cream but...I mean.” She trailed off blushing and turning to him with a bashful smile.

“Well I think it’s a swell idea, a little on the short notice side! But a swell idea nontheless!” He sat there nibbling away at his pork loin and his greens.

The meal went quite nicely between the couple. The male walked over to the sink and started the water.

“Honey you don’t have to get those, lemme get them.” Hunter quietly protested. “You’ve been working all day.” She murmured and slipped behind him rubbing his chest affectionately. “Go rest up. You had a long day.” She kissed his back and gave his rump a playful squeeze. “I’ll be in shortly. Promise.” She giggled.

Zez blushed and smiled turning around murring happily. His hands already soaked with suds and water. “I’d hug ya but I’m all soapy.” He giggled and leaned down giving her a loving kiss on the lips. “You spoil me.” He murmured stepping out of the kitchen and stretching as he meandered into the bedroom.

Hunter spent a little bit of her time taking care of the dishes walking back into the dim bedroom where her lover had already laid down for the night. She crept into the room and under the covers with the big dog and smiled. “Sleep well big guy.” She cooed leaning over kissing his cheek.

Morning came as quickly as their heads hit the pillow. Hunter was fast asleep in bed still but the sneaky canine had snuck out of his bed and off into the kitchen. Sounds of sizzling purveyed the air along with the savory scent of cured meats and farm fresh eggs. Scorching bread in the toaster oven filled the air with the scent of what could only be perceived as a delicious meal awaiting the sleeping cat.

Hunter’s ears flicked as her nostrils caught the scent of cooking meats and burnt bread in the air. Her head springing forth from the pillow as if like a bat outta hell. “What is that? It smells!” She stopped “It smells like…” A big smile crept on the feline’s face as she slipped from beneath her covers and sneakily crept out of the bed. Clad in nothing but a pretty baby pink bra and matching panties.

She tiptoed down the hallway of the small abode and over to the kitchen to where the aromas were originating from. She peeked her muzzle around slowly seeing the fuzzy leonberger in an apron washing a frying pan. On the table was couple plates with bacon strips on it, a fair portion of scrambled egg, even some fried potatoes. And alongside this was also a slightly charred piece of toast having been cut diagonally and placed in a spot beside it all.

Hunter snuck around the corner only to be caught by her lover nearly causing the poor canine to drop the frying pan on the floor. “Oh goodness!” He jolted. “Last I checked on you; you were asleep!” The male looking her up and down, a pinkish hue to his cheeks. “I can see you’re well dressed for the occasion.” He chuckled.

Hunter blushed looking down and smiled at him. “What you think this is a bit too revealing?” She smirked at him. Stepping over to him and whispering in his ear. “Cause I can make it more so if you want.” She teased rubbing his chest tuft playfully.

“Uh well er…” He sputtered flustered.

“So let’s eat!” She giggled and popped into the fridge pulling out a jar of raspberry jam and grabbed a small container of margarine. Setting them on the table as she sat in her seat. “Sweetie you really didn’t have to do this. This was actually supposed to be me pampering you.” She chuckled jamming up her toast.

“Well I wanted to show you that this is a partnership. If you’re gonna pamper me then I’m gonna do the same.” He smiled digging right into the food itself.

“So I was thinking; maybe we can go to the park today? Have a little lunch and just do what lovers are supposed to do.” Hunter smiled. “It’s very pretty around the lake at the Polonian park this time of year. With all the cute duckies!” She exclaimed excitedly.

“Haha, it sounds like you’ve got the entire day planned already don’t ya?” Zezima smiled and bit a piece of his pork. “If that’s what you got in store for us who am I to judge?” He smiled sweetly. “Since I cooked you get the last of the dishes.” He stuck his tongue out at her.

After the two finished their meal they got dressed and ready for their day out. Hunter wore her pretty blue dress that she had picked out the evening prior. Zezima sported a nice plaid button up flannel shirt as well as a pair of faded blue jeans. Clearly worn out from years of use and reuse.

“Ready?” He smiled stopping a moment to admire her beauty. “Wow you really went all out huh?” He spoke quite surprised.

“Well I wanted to look good for you. Y’know so you can tell the boys over at work about how hot your pretty lil kitty is back home.” She winked.

Zezima blushed bashfully and smiled taking her hand as the two stepped outside and into the car.

They drove out into Polonia and parked the car not too far away from the park itself. Stepping out of the vehicle they headed to the sidewalk, Hunter hooking her arm around the leonberger’s arm and smiled sweetly at him.

The two moseyed their way into a gated area with the words “Polonian Park” above the gate. The grass was lush, the air was warm, the smell was that of springtime; with a little mixture of city life within it. It was a wonderful feeling to be alive.

The two walked down through the grassy fields of the park, hand in hand. Admiring the crystal blues of the pond as they walked along the path.

“I gotta hand it to you babe, this was certainly a wonderful idea. I mean between the sun, the ambiance, and having a beauty on my arm is there really anything else a man could want?” He chuckled.

The two walked around the pond for some time as they came up to a food stall. “Hey, a little food truck. What do you say we stop our little excursion for a quick bite?” Zezima asked with curiosity. “Never really eaten off one of these things, kinda makes me curious.”

Hunter smiled and nodded. “I don’t see why not. I mean I can certainly snack.” She giggled. The tigress stepped along with the canine to the metal truck. “Huh...It all looks pretty tasty...I think I’ll have the mini tacos. Can I try one of each?” the woman asked curiously.

The purveyor of delicious foods nodded his head with a smile. “Sure thing lil lady. And what about you sir? What’ll ya have?”

“I’ll just have the empanada please.” He smiled, reaching behind the woman rubbing her back gently. He leaned to her side and kissed her head waiting for the food.

Sounds of sizzling purveyed the vicinity as the savory smell of beef and various meats filled the air, mixed with spices and vegetables to boot. Several minutes of waiting for the delicious treats to be completed out come the two plates with the food for them. “Just be careful they’re very hot!” The man responded asking for his payment.

Zezima pulling out his wallet gladly paid the gentleman for his hard work and smiled to him. “Thanks a lot!” Guiding Hunter over to a park bench for them to eat undisturbed. “Isn’t this such a nice idea?” The park is such a lovely place. And on top of that you can get in all your people watching too.” He mentioned.

Hunter smiled looking out at the playing children and purred happily. “It really is quite nice. But I hate to break it to ya but I’m the one who made the plans silly.” She giggled kissing his nose. Just before she began to dig into her food. “Ooh these are really good!” She exclaimed.

“Oh yeah?” He asked taking a bite of the crispy fried goodness of his puff pastry. Inside was a burst of flavor that could only be described as exquisite.

As the two enjoyed their snack they stood up from the bench and walked around the park coming to a playground. The walked through as they watched the children playing happily without a care in the world. Hunter looked to the male at her side with a soft caring smile.

“Do you ever think about one day having kids?” She asked him bashfully.

“With you Hunter? I believe most anything is possible in the future.” He leaned over giving her a loving tender kiss. His arms wrapping around her in an affectionate embrace.

The feline’s face reddened hearing his words as she clung to him tighter. “I love you…” She murmured softly against his body. As the two spent an hour or so sitting on the swingset rocking back and forth. They truly realized just how special the little things in life really meant.
