Chapter 18

When i wake up im in Derricks arms being carried in the house as he feels me move he says," stay asleep a little longer just till i get you to the bedroom." As i close my eyes again i feel his arm muscle around me, i feel how carefully he carries me around the corners sure not to wake me. When he gets to the stairs i imagain that he'll want me to get down from his arms because he wont be able to carry me up the steep stairs. But when i try to move my legs to the ground he grabs in to them and says," Were do you think your going i told you i would carry you to the bedroom." I smile and say,"im to heavy your hurt yourself." He chuckles and says," You heavy."(and throws me in the air and catches me) As he walks up the stairs to the bedroom he lays me on the bed and covers me with the blankets. As he gets up to go back down stairs i grab him and tell him to lay with me. He says, "i thought you would never ask." He lays next to me and i lay my head in his warm chest. I ask him," Aren't your parents worried about you." He says raping his arm around me," Their in Hawaii on vacation." Me:" and you didn't go with them?" Him: "No they wanted a trip just for them like they always have." Me: ,"thats sad who do you stay with then." Him:,"Well the maids and butler take care of me and i have a unlimited amount of money to do what ever i want." Me:"what about your brother, why isn't he staying with you," Him," he had to go back to Afghanistan for the war, he sees me when my parents are out of town." Me:"why" Him:," my dad wanted him to take over the business but he wanted to be in the army, my dad thought it was stupied and told him you eather take over the business or ill cut you off. My brother chose to be cut off. So him and my dad never see each other." Me: " i find it so sad that people have problems with their dad when all i ever wish for is my dad." As he runs his fingers through my hair," he ask what happened to my dad." Me: " When i was 9 my dad was really sick. He was bipolar, mentaly ill and he was depressed." As i started crying he said," you dont have to tell me this if you don't want to." Me:"No I want to trust you and by telling you this it will make me trust you. Anyway he killed himself when i was 9, 9." I started balling and he rapped his arms around me and kissed my head. When i was done crying there was a wet spot on his shirt He laughs and says," if i stay around you much longer i wont have any shirts." I laugh and get up to give him one of my muscle shirts. As he changes shirts i wipe my tears away. When he has a shirt on he lays beside me again. I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes. Before i fall asleep he says,"Thank you for trusting me and i will be here to take care of you well your dad cant." I lean up to kiss you and he stops me and says," I want to wait till i ask you out." I nod my head and say," I respect that." And i lay my head on his chest to go to sleep because im beat.
