Mine

Chapter Sixty Two

Sorry for updating two days late. I was actually just about done the chapter, but I was really busy Friday and Saturday.

"Dave?"

"Ugh, what?" 

"Are you going to get up any time soon?"

"No." I pull the blanket over my head.

"You know we have to go look at the litter in an hour."

"Shit. We have to be there in an hour, or we have to leave in an hour?"

"The latter."

"Then I'm not getting up for another forty five minutes." Dirk laughs.

"You mean fifty five minutes."

"Mhmm." For a few seconds I think Dirk has left me to sleep. I actually start to doze off again before I feel the bed start to move. "Don't jump on it, I'm up." Dirk chuckles and bounces a few more times before I kick him. He lands with a bounce right behind me. Then he throws an arm around me and yanks off the blanket. "Hey!"

"You take forever, so you have to get up now."

"Fine. Jerk." I start to sit up and swing my legs over the side of the bed, but as soon as I put weight on them I gasp. There's a pain in my thighs and hips that trails along to my back.

"You okay?"

"Yeah. Well fucked too." Dirk laughs and I feel his arms on my shoulders. He gently starts massaging them while he rest his head against mine.

"What's sore?"

"Thighs, hips, and my lower back."

"I'll give you a back massage when we get back."

"Mm, that sounds nice."

"I bet. Now get up." Dirk gently pushes me forward and I stand up on shaky legs. I'm definitely sore from last night. I probably look like it too. I make my way to the bathroom followed by Dirk. At first I think it's because he wants to catch me if I stumble, but when I see the guilty look on his face before I look in the mirror I know it's something else.

"Holy shit Dirk." My neck, shoulders, and even my chest are covered in hickeys. I reach up and start poking at them, which just confirms that yes they are painful bruises. "I can't believe you. This is such a teenager thing."

"Well, I didn't realize I gave you that many."

"No excuse ass hat. I'm mad at you. I'm going to have to hide these for who knows how long. Damn it Dirk."

"I'm sorry."

"You better be." I sigh and glance at him. I did let him do this, but I didn't know he was going to be so crazy about it. "I'm going to have to start wearing concealer." Dirk laughs.

"Oh it's not that bad. They'll be gone by the end of this week."

"Well for your sake you better hope so." Dirk finally heads out of the bathroom with a smile, while I start my morning routine.

Once I'm done I head to the kitchen and find Dirk making pancakes and bacon. Which I happily devour. While I wait for Dirk to finish I wonder about the puppy we're getting. I can just imagine how cute it's going to be. I hope it likes me more than Dirk. I'll be the nicer one anyway. Dirk would be the disciplinarian.

"What are you thinking about?" Dirk asks from across the table.

"The puppy."

"Do you want to leave early?"
