No Harm List

Chapter 9. Videogames and French Books

~Conor~

I awoke with my head on Travis's shoulder. I smiled down at our enjoined hands and then up at him. His eyes were open but not looking at me. He was looking out the window watching a butterfly fly by.

I started to feel my eyes once again start to close. I felt powerless against it, my eyes closing without my say.

I was awoken to movement. I opened my eyes to see I was in Travis's arms, he carried me into the living room and placed me onto the couch. I smiled as he placed a light blanket on my lap as well as a book I've been reading.

Travis himself was sitting on the floor next to the couch resting his head on the cushion by my right arm. I took my hand and started to mess with his hair. He let out a light laugh before leaning into my touch.

After a few minutes of sitting there Travis got up and went over to his Xbox 360 grabbing the remote and loading Left for Dead. I watched him for a little bit before grabbing my book and opening it. I'm not sure how many times I've read it, but each time it never disappoints.

I looked at the illustrations in the book for a second before turning and watching Travis some more. He was in the middle of a city running and I rolled my eyes. Still the same old Travis, different age same game.

But I guess in some ways he has changed. He's changed in maturity and in strength. I mean he's always been strong, having been the star football player, but now. It's so much more then just strong, now he's unstoppable. We are unstoppable.

I laughed as a string of curses came out of his mouth at his game. He gave me a light glare before going back to his game. I went back to my book and turned the page. Soon Ava, Dess, and Gun ran into the room playing and chasing each other.

Going in front of the TV making Travis yell in protest. Dess turned to look at him before rolling her son. I laughed and got up, setting my book on the coffee table, and went over to them. I sat down on the floor and let them come over to me, crawling up in my lap and licking my face.

At this point Travis had turned off the TV and was making his way over to us. I gently kissed him once he got over to us. Once we pulled apart Dess jumped on him making him fall to the floor. I laughed at his face and patted her head.

"That's right. You tell daddy that he has to play with us."

I laughed at how proud Gun looked of his mother. Gun ran over to Dess and Travis, and started to lick Travis. Travis took his hand and gently pinned Gun down to the ground laughing the whole time. Gun tried to gently nip at his fingertips.

Ava came over to me and sat down next to me. She rested her small head in my lap watching the other two play with Travis. I smirked as the dogs teamed up on Travis to lick him. I smiled when he held his hand out for me. I took it and screamed when I was pulled into the pile of dogs. Travis laughed and I was silently hoping one of the dogs would lick him in the mouth as pay back.

Once we got away from the dogs Travis picked me up and ran us to the bedroom. I laughed as I was dropped onto the bed. He laughed and grabbed his phone before flopping on the bed next to me.

"Look at you. Mr. Mob Boss and Mr. Playful."

He laughed and kissed me gently, "But above all else yours. I love you Conor."

I smiled and kissed him again, "I love you too Travis."

He started scrolling on his phone and I laughed as he clicked on a file with a hot chick on it. "I'm going to fucking kill him."

I laughed knowing he was talking about one of his "employees". He sent a text to Laurence telling him he was sleeping on the job. Then he sent a text to the "employee" about saving things to files he shouldn't be.

He clicked on something and quickly turned it away from me. He would always do this in high school so I was surprise and just laid my head on his chest. I knew he wasn't cheating on me, not looking at anyone else so I had no reason to fear.

It was probably about a job or something like that. After deciding he had looked at enough he called Cherry to check in on her. Laurence picked up sounding half asleep.

"Hello?"

Travis laughed, "Where's your girl?"

There was a pause, "In the kitchen. You want to talk to her?"

Travis rolled his eyes, "Why would I have called if I didn't want to talk to her."

It was quiet so I assumed he was handing the phone over to Cherry. Soon her voice was heard over to speaker, "What do you want?"

Travis raise his eye brows, "Is it that time of the month Cherry?"

"I will stab you in your dick you fucker. Now what do you want?"

"We were checking on you."

"We?"

I looked at Travis and he nodded, "Hey Cherry, glad you're okay."

"Oh Conor I didn't know you were there. How are you? He's not being mean to you is he? If he is I will personally hurt him myself."

I laughed at her, "I'm good. He's being sweet and perfect. And please don't hurt my boyfriend."

Laurence laughed, "So Travis can be sweet. Good to know."

Travis picked me up and set me on his lap, "Great now they know my weakness."

Cherry laughed, "We've always known about your weakness."

Our call lasted about 20 more minutes before Travis hung up on them. He rolled his eyes at them before pulling me closer to him. "Now we nap." I laughed but did as he said letting the darkness take over.
