Obsession

15.

Days had past and Stephen was still in Georgia getting everything for their summer home set up and right for the twins. Raven had become fond of her helper David, anything she needed he got without a complaint. Made sure she had her prenatal pills, ate healthy, and even got her back working out and swimming.

He was a six foot one dark skin with a nice body. He had recently came back from Japan and was taking some time off from the military life. Raven had discovered that he worked along side Stephen and ran the gym they had Virginia. David had majored in Sports medicine at the same college she and Stephen were attending but graduated a few years ahead of Steph. She couldn't help but admire his taste in music and how amazing his food was. She had even took a peek at his print one day during their workout and couldn't believe the size.

She was curious and now wondered how he had no kids at his age with the size she peeped.

"So you really have no kids ?"

"Nope. I move around a lot. I don't think you understand how used you get to people leaving you because you're gone all the time."

Raven sat and thought about what David had just said to her. She missed Stephen but not enough to text and call him all day. Just enough to send him pictures of her belly and videos of the twins moving around from time to time.  But her main focus had been on David he was mysterious and interesting. He had made her favorite food every night since he'd been there and his foot rubs were the best.

"How are you doing with E being gone ?"

"To think about it. It doesn't really bother me you are all the company I need."

He smiles a little and laughs the goofy laugh that she's became fond of.

"What are you hiding?" She ask while stuffing French fries in her mouth.

"What are you talking about Ray?"

She didn't know what made her ask the question but after staring at him for a while she began getting irritated with how mysterious he was.

"I don't know you seem really secretive to me. And I want to know what you're hiding."

"I'm not hiding anything. But if you don't believe me ask away."

She sits there for a while thinking of all the possible things he could be hiding. Him not having kids is something she didn't really believe. There was just no way. There was also no way he hadn't been married before or had a girlfriend. David was just too fine and too well rounded.

"So you really don't have kids?"

"Never stayed with anyone long enough to have them. Is that the only question that's bothering you."

"No. You really don't have a girlfriend right now? Why?"

"I don't have one and I'm not really focused on one because I'll be shipping out again in a couple of months. And you're keeping me company right now I don't think a woman would really understand that I sit around and babysit you and the twins all day."

She rolls her eyes at him making him laugh.

"I'm just kidding about the babysitting part. But you're all the company I need right now. You're easy to talk to and laugh at my corny jokes and horrible singing."

"Horrible is an understatement."

They both laugh.

David puts on Hotel Transylvania 3 and hands the bowl of sour patch kids and popcorn to Raven. She snuggles up next to him tossing her feet across his lap for him to rub. A routine the two had now become accustomed to over the last couple of days.
