A #Reylo textfic
-An orange cat gets loose and ends up breaking into Ben’s apartment. He texts the number on the pet's collar to inform the owner and finds out the little guy belongs to his cute neighbor Rey.

So I'm back with another one lol This was a random idea that I thought of when I was picking out a tag for my sister's new pup.
I was challenged by @MelodyHartmann7 to write a story will minimal to no angst so this is it!

Not many CWs since this will be a light & fun story. But just in case: Rey's a foster kid, Ben's past bad relationship with parents & manipulative boss, both of their pets are rescue animals with abusive pasts.
None of the photos I use are mine, except for one.
Hope you enjoy!

7) A Favor to Ask
She forgets to ask Kaydel or Finn to stop by her apartment to feed BB. Crap, her neighbor. She's supposed to meet him at 7. Is it weird to ask him for a favor? She shoots a message to him before the end of her break, hoping she doesn’t sound crazy...

8) Ben Responds
Ben doesn’t see Rey's texts until sometime after he took his afternoon walk in the park with Chewie & brought BB along. At first, he admits, it’s an odd request, but if he were in the same position, he’d understand her predicament.
