The Entertainer (Dandy Mott fanfic)

Chapter 12 - Alone Together

I returned to the dining room, discovering that Dandy & Gloria were no longer at the table. I soon found them in the den. Hesitant to barge right in, I stopped in the hallway and took a moment to listen.
"Mother, it's okay! I have Bonnie, I won't be alone."
I couldn't quite figure out the rest of the conversation based off of this sentence. Not wanting to get caught eavesdropping, I knocked on the partly open door.
"Oh Bonnie! Come on in!" Gloria said happily.
"Come, sit with me." Dandy ordered. I sat next to him on the small blue love seat.
"I have fun news!" He declared.
I perked up, eager to hear.
"Mother is taking Dora on a cruise, to celebrate her birthday!"
"That's great! It's so nice of you, Gloria."
"And, that means that we will have the house to ourselves for a whole week while they're gone, we'll get to be alone together!" Dandy was so excited that it would just be the two of us, and honestly, I was excited too.
I just smiled.
"Well, I'd better get packed if I plan to get on the cruise tomorrow morning!"
Gloria exclaimed as she left the room.
Dandy quickly closed the door behind her.
"Why did you close th-"
"Listen to me. We are still going to kill someone tomorrow night. Now that mother and Dora will be gone, we don't have to worry about them getting in the way."
"Okay, but how are you so sure that you'll find just the right person to kill?"
"I know exactly who we'll kill."
He said with the same devious smirk that I had seen on the day we met.
"There's a young man that lives two doors up. Mother heard him saying terrible things about us!
He said that you're just a gold digger, and that I'm stupid for loving you! Neither of those statements are true, right?"
"Of course not."
I hugged him tightly, kissing his cheek.
"I love you, Dandy."
"I love you too, Bonnie."
We held each other tightly, not saying a word for quite some time before the grandfather clock that sat in the corner interrupted the silence. "Wow, ten already. We should probably get to sleep, we have a busy day ahead of us."
We both got up and walked upstairs to the bedroom. Our night went as it usually did. We'd both get changed into our pajamas, I'd climb in on the right side of the bed, & Dandy on the left. He'd roll over and wrap his arm tightly around me, and we'd both fall asleep. It was just a habit now, the routine never changed.
...
I woke up in the middle of the night, Dandy was getting back under the covers, it seemed odd, he never got up in the middle of the night. "Why were you up?" I couldn't help but ask.
"I uh- um, I just went to get a sip of water."
"Oh." I was too tired to stay awake, I quickly rolled over, Dandy moved towards me, holding me tightly just as he was earlier that night.
