Ch 31: Biscuit
My tongue continued to move frantically on my cousin's soft soles and I was so busy with that work that I could not follow well the conversation between my two Mistresses who kept giggling. At that moment my mind was so foggy that I could not think of anything and the only things that mattered were those two wonderful feet in front of me.
"Perhaps I'm really turning into a dog" I thought, realizing that at that time I was not able to think how a human being and my brain seemed to be able to process only the taste of Kaley's feet which for my disappointment was not very intense.
While my tongue was playing with her toes, I saw my saliva slide along her sole and immediately my tongue moved on her heel to prevent it from dropping on the floor. Relieved that I had not done a mess, I went back to work on my cousin's toes, sucking them vigorously and making a noise that made laugh my aunt.
- What do you think about the name Dory? - Kaley asked her mother as she pushed both of her big toes deep in my mouth.
- It's such a banal name for a dog. Lady is a nice name - Aunt Emma said.
- A lot of dogs are called Lady - my cousin replied.
As the two women kept discussing the name I should have had when I would have been in dog mode, I continued to suck Kaley's toes and I marveled at how little I cared about that discussion, and yet it should have been of interest to me, it should have had some effect on me, I mean, the name is perhaps the most important thing that a person owns and remove your name it is how to remove your humanity. After a quick consideration I realized why I was almost completely indifferent to the choice of my new name as a puppy dog. For quite a while I got used to be called "Slave" and in the last few weeks I rarely heard my real name.
Suddenly I felt my aunt's feet on my shoulder and after watching her for a moment I knew what she wanted. I moved myself so that I was parallel to the couch and as I continued licking my cousin's feet, my aunt put her feet on my back using me as a footstool.
- I do not know, there are hundreds, thousands of names - my aunt said, beginning to make a list - Nana, Molly, Ruby, Roxie, Bella, Biscuit, Minnie, Sassy, Trix... -
- Wait, wait, what did you say before? - Kaley yelled, interrupting her mother.
- Hmmm...Sassy, Roxie, Biscuit - repeated my aunt.
- Biscuit! Yeah, it is perfect for her, isn't it? - my cousin said, taking her foot out of my mouth and patting me on my head.
I barked many times, looking at my cousin straight in the eyes. Kaley looked really happy and for a moment she looked just like a little girl who was unwrapping her Christmas gift. She approached her hand to my face and I licked it with devotion as a good puppy, while she said:
- Good doggy, that's my Biscuit -
Without realizing it, I moved my butt as if I was wagging an invisible tail.
- It seems she likes her new name - Aunt Emma said as I continued to lick my cousin's fingers who enjoyed playing with my tongue.
Soon Kaley's hands were covered by my saliva and my cousin wiped them on my hair without succeeding in concealing a new yawn.
- It's late, you will play with your new dog tomorrow. Now I have to prepare her "dog house" Aunt Emma said, taking off her feet from my back and getting up from the couch.
I can not deny that I was a little disappointed with her words, I was hoping to sleep at the foot of her bed as I did in Paris and in the night that I had spent at my aunt's house a few weeks earlier. Once again, Aunt Emma seemed to read my mind because she patted on my head and said:
- This night I need rest. Maybe the next time, if you behave, you can sleep with me or with Kaley -
Mother and daughter were about to leave the living room and I did not know what to do, could I get up or I had to follow them like a dog? In the end I picked up for this last solution and when I reached my aunt in the corridor I saw with amazement that she was not walking up the stairs to prepare the guest room but, instead, she headed toward the basement.
- Go to sleep honey, tomorrow morning you have to go to school - Aunt Emma said to her daughter who after giving her the good-night kiss, approached me and patted on my head, saying:
- Goodnight Biscuit -
My answer was a loudly bark, I kissed frantically her feet and with disappointment I saw my beautiful cousin leaving. I would have liked to follow her, spend the night with her, kept licking her wonderful feet and curl up next them to sleep. But my aunt had decided otherwise, so I followed my Mistress to the basement.
- Go down the stairs normally, I do not want you to break the bone of your neck - my Mistress said, turning on the light and beginning to step down the stairs.
The temperature in the basement was definitely very different from the rest of the house and I thanked it was still September, I was sure that in winter I would have freeze to death down there.
- For tonight you will have to settle for this - my aunt said, throwing on the floor two small pillows which were inside the old wardrobe near the washing machine and pointing to an old orange carpet that would have been my miserable and uncomfortable bed.
- Thank you Madame - I said and I bent down to kiss my Mistress's slippers.
- Tomorrow you'll have a bit of work to do, so you will not go to school. Put the alarm clock at six in the morning and start cleaning the ground floor. Then prepare breakfast for Kaley and serve her breakfast in bed. I think it's useless to tell you how you should wake up your cousin... right? - my aunt said lifting her eyebrow.
- Yes Madame - I replied, knowing perfectly that I should have used my tongue on her wonderful feet.
- Good. Once your cousin will be awake, you will be at her service until she goes to school and immediately after you have to start cleaning her room. But do not make too much noise, I'm tired and I want to sleep late tomorrow. When the rest of the house will be cleaned and not before 11 am, you can finally prepare me a light breakfast and you can wake me up. Did you understand everything, slave? - she said putting her right foot on my head.
- Yes Madame - I replied with a weak voice.
- Good. So...goodnight - she said, removing her foot from my head.
- Goodnight Madame - I replied, looking at her while she climbed the stairs.
I was lying on the large orange carpet and I rested my head on the two pillows which were so thin that I could feel the hard floor beneath them. It was not easy to find a comfortable position and it took a long time before I could fall asleep. But my sleep was short-lived, in fact, I woke up a little more than an hour later with several chills. Having nothing else to cover me, I used the same rug as blanket and I thanked God that it was so big that I could wrap myself in. For a moment I could not help but think about my pitiful conditions. Only two months before I was one of the most beautiful girls in the school, I was rich, I was the captain of the soccer team and I was about to get my first part in a movie. Now, I had lost everything, I no longer had a mother, I no longer had a home, and I did not even have a mattress on which to sleep and a blanket that kept me warm.
"This is my home now" I said to myself, trying to think that just a few meters above me there were those beautiful women who had completely changed my life and when I closed my eyes again, a small smile appeared on my face.
