I am yours

Chapter 3

The next day after class I drove to Davina's parent's place. I knocked on the door and Mrs. Brooks opened up.

"Good day Mrs. Brooks," I said.

"Hello Cooper, please call me Elisa." She replied as she moved away from the door so that I could come in.

"Very well. Is Davina in her bedroom?"

"No, she is out by the pool relaxing." She said in a tone that showed she was displeased.

"Let me guess...she got her way again?"

"Yes! You clearly know her well."

"Her way or the highway." I quipped.

"Sounds about right. Follow me."

I followed Elisa where Davina was.

When we went out by the pool Davina was on a chair stretched out with a t-shirt on and a pair of shorts and sunglasses on. Marty was laying beside the chair.

"Honey, Cooper is here to see you. Don't you think you should rest inside now?"

"Few more minutes Mommy pleaseeeeeeeeee!"

"I'll be out to kick you back into the house in 15 minutes."

"Awww, Mommy!!!" Davina whined.

I was laughing she was supposed to be an adult but she was acting like a little kid. I thought it was cute, but I also had to wonder if she was always like this.

Elisa shook her head before she walked away back into the house.

I bent down and petted Marty before asking Davina if I could sit with her so I could hold her.

I thought she would protest, but she didn't.

I sat on the chair and Davina climbed on, resting her head on my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and rubbed her arm while I held her.

"So what did you bribe your parents with to let you out relax by the pool?"

She moved her head from my chest and grinned at me.

"Nothing, I just pouted."

"Figures." I chuckled.

She gave me a quick kiss on the lips before resting her head back on my chest.

"You are not protesting when I ask to hold you, I'm not complaining but I am curious."

"We both been through a lot the past two weeks, figured I will be nice for a change and let you take care of me."

"Thank you," I said, giving her kiss on her head.

"My parents had said that you didn't want to leave my side while I was unconscious."

"I meant what I said on the day you woke up that I have no idea what I would have done if I lost you. You were right, I would have moved on eventually but losing you in that way would have a traumatizing effect on me for a long time."

"I'm like a cat, I have nine lives, bitches!"

I laughed.

There was a long silence between us, Davina was the one that broke the ice.

"You remember when you asked me if I had called you 'babe' I said I didn't?"

How could I forget! That stung a bit.

"Yes, I remember."

"Well...I lied. I actually did call you babe."

I was grinning.
