Chapter 103 - Robert And Sam
They walked into the supermarket together. Dean was all business, one hand on the trolley and the other held April's hand.
With a smile and a slight sigh, April could only start her shopping with one hand.
As she picked out ingredients Dean glanced around at the other people around them that were shopping. He heard a few of the women comment on them as a couple. As he heard them praise them as a couple his happiness grew. He agreed that they were an amazing couple and of course they looked good together.
April had mostly everything she needed and headed for the last item on her list. She tried to pick up a case of water but she couldn't, she looked at her right hand and tried to free it from Dean's grasp but he had no intention of letting go. Just as she was about to protest Dean lifted the case of water and placed it inside the trolley.
"Thanks." April thanked him, usually, she would be here by herself climbing the shelves for the items that were up too high and lifting heavy items by herself. She felt it was nice to have someone to help her and accompany her.
"No thanks needed, it's for us," Dean answered easily.
"Okay that's us, we have everything." April had checked the trolley she had everything she had needed for Sunday dinner.
"Just one more item, the old man likes wine with his dinner. Let's go." Dean pushed the trolley and guided April to the alcohol aisle.
After they had picked out a few bottles of wine they headed for the check out together. April was about to lift the items onto the conveyor belt but Dean had let go of her hand and put the items up for her.
She found that having someone there to rely on was comforting. She walked to the end of the belt and smiled at the sales clerk behind the till, "Afternoon." She greeted him.
The sales clerk beamed at the beautiful girl in front of him he stuttered, "H… Hey... I mean… good afternoon."
April smiled and began to pack the items away. Once everything was packed away she had taken out her purse but she noticed that Dean had just swiped his card, she had wanted to get dinner.
Seeing the salesman behind the checkout smile and try to flirt with his angel Dean frowned, he was standing right here, did he not see they were a perfect couple? Even the ladies early saw how amazing they looked together, did this guy think he was invisible?
April had finished packing and glanced down at Dean. He was frowning at the sales clerk, though she didn't know why she tried to save him, "Babe."
It worked, Dean's head snapped to her and she gained his attention. But to her horror, the young boy answered. She inwardly sighed and prayed for him.
"Babe that's us, we can go now." April tried to get Dean's attention again but he was just staring at the checkout boy.
Seeing the young boy just notice the imposing CEO staring at him like he was an annoying pest. She decided to help him out again, April walked forward and held Dean's arm with hers. She looked up at him and noticed his gaze was on her now.
Dean was about to tell the sales clerk exactly what he thought but he felt April's warmth as she held his arm and like a switch being flipped his demeanour changed, he no longer cared. He smiled down at her before pushing the trolley out of the supermarket as she held onto his arm.
Joseph had waited in the car and thought that maybe he should have gone inside with April and left Dean in the car. He scanned the car park and saw a lot of women shopping alone but then his gaze fell on his grandson. He was punching the trolley with a silly smile on his face as April held on to his arm.
Little did Joseph know that April had only done this gesture to stop Dean from cracking up at the sales clerk.
Joseph grinned and spoke to Robert, his driver, "See that, that's my idiot grandson and my new granddaughter linked arm in arm shopping while other ladies are shopping alone. Let's hope my idiot grandson doesn't mess things up."
Robert nodded, "Handsome couple." Robert answered as he got out of the car and opened the boot. He stood to the side as Dean put the items in the boot and then he put away the trolley for them.
Returning to the car he noticed Dean helping April inside, he had seen this scene many times when he was driving for Dean's parents. He smiled and got back inside the car hoping that they would both have a happy life together and that history would not repeat itself.
About half an hour later they arrived at the Davis mansion, as they pulled in the gates opened wide and April took in the surroundings. The drive was lined with beautiful flowers and as they stopped outside of the house April noticed the pond just at the side of the house, it had lily pads dancing on the water.
April smiled, "It must have been amazing to grow up here?"
Dean didn't want to burst her bubble or say the truth in front of his old man, he wanted peace today so he just nodded and replied with a short, "Mmmm."
Dean got out first and then placed his arm out to help April. He guided her around the car but Joseph had other ideas.
Joseph held her right arm and Dean had her left arm. Both glanced at each other signalling to let go of April but neither did.
Robert saw this sight and he chuckled.
The family butler Sam approached the car to help Robert with the bags.
Sam had the same thoughts as Robert, the new Mrs Davis had just arrived at the Davis Manor.
