Chapter 22

Next Morning

Destinee's POV

I wiped the sleep from my eyes and picked up my phone. I pressed the home key to check the time. 7:00 am. I quietly slipped out of bed and put on my heels. Best outfit of the year. Boxers, a muscle shirt that's way too big and blue pumps.

I cracked a smile and looked around for a piece of paper. I found a little notebook on Harry's night stand and ripped out a piece. I quickly scribbled down my message, grabbed my phone and purse and walked out of the room.

I made my way down the hall and into Louis's old room. I gently picked Jedidiah up and walked into the living room and set him down on the couch. I tip toed back into Louis's old room and made the bed. A habit I have to do.

After that I picked Jedi back up and walked out of the apartment. As soon as I stepped out of the apartment I remembered that Harry was my ride. "Great now I have to call a-" "Hey, cupcake." A voice spoke on my right.

I quickly turned towards the voice to see David stepping out of the shadows. "Jesus Christ you scared the crap out of me." I whispered. "Ha I tend to do that." David smirked and checked out my outfit. "What the hell are you wearing?" David chuckled.

"Quick outfit okay. Do you have a car?" I asked. "No I walked all the way here." He replied sarcastically. "Of course I do. You need a ride?" David asked. "Yeah." I answered pointing to Jedi. David put a hand on the small of my back and lead me down to his well hidden car. He's so creepy.

He opened the door for me and gently took Jedi from me. A little siren of distrust sounded off in my head. He opened the back seat door and laid Jedidiah down and buckled him in. He gently shut the door and walked around the car and got in. "Where to?" David buckled his seat belt. I snickered a bit and told him Julie's.

We drove in silence for a minute until David spoke. "You look like you've been crying." I nodded and slipped off my heels. "We had a fight." I played with my hair. "You and singer boy?" David looked almost shocked. "Yep. You know I've never been happier to see you." I sighed.

"Trouble in paradise. And really?" David smiled. "Yeah. I didn't want to call a cab." I stated. "Wow is that all I'm good for?" David teased. I laughed and shooked my head.

"Wait a minute. Why were you at Harry's house?" I questioned. "I just had this....feeling that something was wrong. So I came by." "That's not weird at all." "Nope not even close." David shot me a breath taking smile.

"Woah, you're taking the long way." I spoke. "We'll it's the only way I know, okay god." David shrugged playfully. "Okay..." I turned to check on Jedi to see him shivering. "Can you turn on the heater? He's cold." I asked David. "Yeah."

The sound of air swooshed through the car. "I see you still haven't cut his hair." David sighed. Jedidiah's hair is now to his shoulders. "Well I ask him once a week if he wants it cut and he says no every time. Plus his hair is beautiful." I defended.

"His hair is beautiful."David mocked. "I don't want my boy looking like a girl." He added turning onto the next block.

"I'm pretty sure people knows he's a boy from his clothes. He picks out his own clothes you know? Our kid has swag." I smiled. "Of course he does. Look at me." David smirked. I rolled my eyes and checked on Jedi again.

"The way you're going is going to take 10 minutes." I informed, trying to throw hints that I don't want to be in this car too long. David just shrugged. "So why are you dating him?" David asked.
