Chapter 49: Brother Talk

          The next morning, late morning, Deagan is packing up and finishing getting ready for her flight later on in the night. After she finishes, she takes her luggage downstairs. She opens the sliding door, walking out on the back porch. Smiling a little, she sees Chase laying on his hammock, reading. Deagan walks over, climbing in the hammock beside Chase, moving her leg over his, and sliding her arm over his chest. She closes her eyes.

          "I'll miss you," Chase says softly, shutting his book before kissing her forehead.

         "I'll miss you too."

          "When do you have to go?"

           "I need to be there at least an hour and a half early. My flight is at six."

          "Cameron should be here any minute so I can drive you."

          "You aren't going to get used to this are you?"

           "I will eventually," Chase grins, "I just need time, I've gotten too used to losing people."

            Deagan makes a sad face, leaning in and kissing Chase softly a few times then leaning up and kissing his forehead just as the back patio door opens.

          "Ugh can't you two keep it in the bedroom," Cameron smiles.

           "I'm laying here," Deagan protests.

           "Yeah, that's how it starts."

          Deagan rolls her eyes, patting Chase's chest before getting out of the hammock, "yeah yeah," Deagan walks back into the house.

           "You alright bro?" Cameron asks.

           "I'll be fine," Chase stands up, shrugging his shoulders.

          "Bullshit I know how you are with people that leave."

          "I'm gonna have to learn to deal if I want to be with her," Chase says, giving his brother a look.

          "Yeah unless she quits modeling which I don't see that stopping for a while."

          "Yeah, I don't either. She made breakfast yesterday," looking at Cameron.

          "What? Deagan Peters, the International Supermodel made breakfast?" Cameron smiles.

          "Yes," Chase laughs. "And read my kids a book before bed."

           "Wow. What else did she do?" Cameron asks crossing his arms.

          Smirking, "A lot that you don't want to know about," winking at Cameron.

          "Tell me you asshole."

          "She took us to the zoo too."

          "So she took you to the zoo. How much did that cost you?"

          "She paid for everything. She's gonna wind up spoiling the hell out of my kids."

          "Wow, she's definitely not the Deagan I remember."

           "Yeah, I know."

          "You ready babe?" Deagan asks holding her purse.

           "Yup, let's go," he smiles, the two telling Cameron bye before making the long two-hour drive to the airport.
