Chapter Thirteen
David dragged me with him along the hallway and we passed two doors facing each other before we found two more across from each other. He opened the or to his left and we got in and he locked it behind him
I didn't have time to react before he pushed me back against the door and smashed his lips on mine swallowing whatever words I was about to speak out. My hands lay on his pecs and his hands went around my waist pulling me closer to him. His lips were warm and felt like a taste of heaven against mine.
David pilled away after a few seconds making me whimper in protest.
"I know what you're gonna say and don't say it. You didn't know and its okay. I understand why you did it and I'm actually grateful you did because I got to know the most amazing Tiny lady." He said kissing my forehead and I immediately relaxed against him.
"Really?" I asked looking up at him.
"Yes really." He replied.
"Thanks you but I'm still really sorry. I feel like such a fool. If your mom knew she'd hate me. Your siblings too. Wait do..."David interrupted my rant with another short kiss.
"Not that I'm complaining but I'd rather not shut you up by kissing you. I already said it's okay and nobody would be mad if they knew the whole story of how we got to hang out together the first time. Not another word about this from you." He demanded.
"Yes sir." I agreed with a nod licking my lips.
I think he got the memo because his lips dropped onto mine again in a sweet kiss that left me breathless.
I was getting addicted to his kisses and him too and I never wanted rehabilitation. We pulled apart and he took a step away from me making my hands drop to my side. I took a few calming breaths to calm down from the heady feeling of David's kisses. Feeling myself again I noticed my surroundings.
By the look of an all male room this was clearly David's bedroom. It was small neat and tidy, courtesy of his mom I presume. His bed was pushed to one corner with a navy blue duvet and matching pillows. There was a bedside table to one side with a chair next to it and a small stereo system under it. There was also a wardrobe in the room and shoes arranged nearly on a wooden shelf next to it. The walls were painted white like the rest of the house and he has a few posters of body builders on the walls.
"I just found your man cave." I exclaimed excitedly and David laughed.
"I wouldn't call it a man cave. It's barely that." David replied. "Am planning planning on moving out soon anyway."
"Let me guess it's become weird for a twenty six year old like yourself to share the same house with your while family." I explained.
"Actually yeah. I figured it's time I moved out of my moms nest and fly on my own. Elena shares a room with my mom so she can finally have a room of her own." David expounded further and I just nodded my head swirling around about the newly acquired information.
Maybe this was then sign I had been waiting for. David and I could finally move in together. But wasn't it too fast? I mean we had only become official last night. Would David agree to moving directly from his mother's house to his girlfriend's apartment. Well I wouldn't known until I asked so here goes nothing.
"David why don't you and I....." My statement was cut off my a knock on the door.
It was Elena saying that lunch was served and we should join the rest of the family outside.
"Okay we'll be right out." David replied and we heard the footsteps receding.
"What did you want to ask me babe?" David asked turning his attention back to me.
I felt like the moment to ask him had already passed so I just diverted his question because I didn't want to lie to him.
"I'll ask you another time for now let's go eat I'm starving." I replied with a smile.
David narrowed his eyes at me as if trying to figure me and my cut off statement out. If he continued looking at me like that I'd eventually talk so I did the only logical thing. I leaned up and kissed him and it worked because he grabbed me by my ass and pulled me up so my legs were wrapped around his waist. I loved how he could lift me into his arms so effortlessly. I know I was tiny and all but there are still so many guys out there who couldn't lift me but my man could and that was just wow. We kissed passionately for a few minutes before we pulled apart gasping for air.
"Maybe we should leave before your mom comes and drags us by our hair." I suggested with a cheeky grin.
"Yeah that's probably best."David replied putting me down.
We straightened out our clothes before walking out of the room hand in hand. Am sure David caught onto my distraction tactics but am glad he didn't push it any further. He was understanding and I found myself liking him more and more.
"Thank God you guys are here. I was about to come get you myself." Sarah said as she laid down the last plate before sitting down.
Their house wasn't that big so there was no dining room and they were too many to eat in the kitchen so they just sat in the living room. The boys say on one sofa and Elena and Sarah on the other while David and I shared the only love seat in the house.
"Am sorry mom." David apologized.
I wasn't that sorry so I didn't say anything at all.
I looked at all the food laid out and it was like a feast. So much food I practically started weeping. I loved food. There was rice, beef stew, chapatis, wet fried chicken, salads and more other foods that I'd never seen before but looked delicious.
We all said grace before Sarah welcomed us to enjoy the food.
"Don't hold back." David whispered in my ear and it was like the permission I needed.
Sarah as the host had already served herself and taken the first bite so I was now free to serve myself. But first I made sure to serve my mom and from the corner of my eye saw Sarah look at me approvingly. Looks likes I earned myself mother in law points. After making sure my man was good I loaded up my plate and began eating.
I didn't put too much so as not to look weird but I discretely added myself food whenever it was almost empty. The food was there to eat so I mad sure to eat it.
There wasn't much talking during eating and though I found it odd because my family always chatted during dinner but I found I didn't actually mind it that much. It wasn't completely silent though because the Tv was on.
After lunch we all washed up before returning to our seats and enjoying one of the many sodas if brought with me. The boys were watching a movie, Elena and Sarah were trying to figure out the new iPad and I was curled up next to my man who was running his hand over my bare arm soothingly.
"I expected more of an interrogation." I confessed to David seeing it weird that nobody was actually paying that much attention to us.
David chuckled before replying "Any information about you was already filled by Elena and me prior to your arrival so there's not really much to ask. Them meeting you was actually putting face to all they've heard about you." He replied and I nodded in understanding.
That's actually made sense so I decided to just relax and stop worrying.
The worst part was already over, they all seemed to like me so I didn't have to worry about that anymore.
"Hey I have a suggestion." Brian blurted out of the blue and before anyone could say anything he spoke again"Why doesn't David move in with his rich hot girlfriend and leave the extra bedroom to Elena."
Everyone reacted differently to that statement. Collins elbowed Brian in his side making him yelp in pain. Sarah didn't say anything at all but looked at me and David for a few seconds before looking away. Elena started yelling yes over and over again practically jumping up in her seat. David went stiff next to me and didn't say anything. As for me, well I bit my tongue to hold in my smile because Brian had just asked what I had been too chicken to ask myself. I didn't like that he had called me his brother's rich and hit girlfriend though, it was true but he didn't have to put it that way. I guess I just didn't want to be seen for his my beauty and riches but for much much more because I was more than that. It was all in good faith though so I tried not to take it to heart.
David was the one to speak up first
"That is not your decision to make Brian. Tiny and I haven't known each other that long so we aren't moving in together." David explained and my heart constricted but not in a nice way.
I knew he wouldn't be for the idea so why did it hurt as much. I guess I was two steps ahead of our relationship but that's okay the timing just wasn't right.
"It's their life Brian. Let them live it how they will." Sarah added and ended that discussion right there.
"I'm sorry for my brother." David apologized.
If only he knew.
"It's okay." I replied with a small smile.
I couldn't let my disappointment show otherwise he would figure out what I really wanted. I didn't exactly loose hope. I mean I had just met his family after knowing him for less than two months and being official after only a matter of hours when it took others years to get where I am. I'd get him where I wanted soon enough. I just had to play my cards right this time.
After a few hours of hanging out with the family it was time for us to leave. If David would have wanted he would have stayed but he was actually the one who excused us saying we had to leave and I didn't argue with that. After a few goodbyes and promises to be back we headed out but Sarah called me as David put in his shoes.
She pulled me further away from him and I knew this is the talk I had been waiting for all day.
"Don't look so scared dear this is the good talk not the scary talk."She said after noticing my nervous stance.
I chuckled it off "Okay."
"I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Things haven't always been easy for my family especially David because he had to take responsibility for his whole family after his father died and my injury so seeing him this happy because of you makes my heart glad. And its not only David even Elena and my sons seem brighter and happier and its all because of you. All I want is for my kids to be happy and since you've added to their happiness I just want to say welcome to the family." She concluded and I had to wipe off a stray tear as I was feeling very emotional.
She'd just said everything I wanted to hear and it made my heart swell with happiness.
"Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I wanted to hear that. You have such a great family and I'm happy I can now be a part of it too. You're happiness is my happiness as well." I replied and it was now her turn to wipe the tears.
As if on cue we both hugged as we chuckled with tears streaming down our faces. It felt great to be accepted to Davids family. It was my biggest fear but now it was put to rest and I could breath easy.
"Hey why the tears?"David asked and we just laughed some more as we pulled apart wiping our tears.
"Nothing everytime perfect." I replied moving to his side and he put his hand around me pulling me closer.
"Exactly. You kids drive safe. She's a keeper sweetheart don't let her go." Sarah said directing that statement towards David.
"Wasn't planning on it." He replied as he kissed the side of my head.
After saying goodbye again David and I put on out coats and headed out hand in hand.
"What did you and my mom talk about?" David asked as we drove back.
"Nothing much but I am officially a member of the family." I declared with a victorious smile.
"I thought you were already part of the family by dating me."David teased.
"I was but your mom makes it more official." I replied and David just nodded.
I leaned back in my seat feeling very happy with how today had turned out. It was just perfect but there was one thing making me sad. When David got me home he would come back to his family and that thought made me sad. I knew he didn't want to move in with me but i. couldn't help but wish I could change his mind.
"What are you thinking so hard about?" David asked.
I thought about not answering or diverting his question but if already done that once today and right now I needed answers so I just pulled my big pants on and went for it.
"Am just thinking about what Brian said about us moving in together." I replied treading softly so I didn't spook him off.
David groaned out loud "That stupid kid. Don't let what he said get to you."
I decided to just say it out loud, like ripping a band aid off.
"That's just it. I was already thinking about us moving in together before your brother brought it up." I confessed.
David turned stiff and took his eyes off the road for a minute to look at me. It's as if he couldn't believe what I'd just said.
"Tiny that's a huge step and we've barely been official for a day." David replied turning his concentration back to the road.
"I know but I've always been the kind of person who plans for the future and am in this for the long run so why not just skip all the unnecessary stuff and jump to the good stuff." I replied.
"Tiny you are talking about moving in together. That's basically marriage without the who wedding stuff." He replied and I noticed that he was freaking out and I didn't want that.
"You're overthinking this and before you do I have a proposal." I suggested before I lost David even before I could truly have him with my inappropriate talks of the future.
"Okay." He replied giving me the go ahead to tell him what I was thinking.
"Why don't we give it a test run. You stay with me for a few days a week and the rest with your family. Then we'll gradually move it to a week at a time and if we both agree that we like it then we sit down and review it and actually move in together. Not now but maybe after a few weeks or months." I replied adding that last part to calm him.
It was silent for a few minutes as David concentrated on the road as he thought about my proposal. I would like to know know what he was thinking. He was probably weighing the pros and cons of my proposal. I hoped the pros won because I really wanted David and I to take that forward step together. I had been alone for so long and if finally found the one perfect man for me and I wasn't about to let him go.
"Okay I can do that." He replied after ten minutes of thinking and I couldn't help but smile and lean over to give him a side hug as I kissed his cheek repeatedly.
Amazing is what this feeling was.
"We start tonight." I declared not feeling like spending the night alone tonight after experiencing what it felt like sleeping next to David or better yet on top of him.
David chuckled at my childish excitement " Okay eager much."
I relaxed into my seat with the biggest grin on my face knowing that today had been amazing and successful. I got to meet his family and they accepted me and David was actually to give us moving in together a chance.
Could life get any better for me?
