Chapter 134 - From Heaven To Hell
April felt her heart speed up, Dean was so close and she could feel his heart against hers. The vibrational pull of two synchronized hearts, beat like they were fighting their way through storms, the cosmos and then back to each other.
Dean smiled down at her, her eyes soft stared back into his," Do you want me to ask Bernie to cook and we can take thi upstairs?"
April was lost in his captivating eyes until he spoke, she smiled but refused, "No, I dont need you to do that." Deans hands were working their way down her body so she held them in place around her hips and said, "Hands!"
Dean smiled as she whispered and scolded him, "Come on we haven't, you know had time together recently."
April rolled her eyes, "You will be okay, keep your hands to yourself I have to cook and grandpa is waiting for me."
Dean huffed and leaned his head against April's shoulder. He felt her put her arms around his waist, her fingers lightly stroked his spine and she drew patterns on his lower back.
April was soft as an angel but Dean could see that she loved with the fury of a demon. "Do it again and I swear I won't stop until your legs are shaking." He growled into her ear.
April froze she didnt want to provoke him any further, she heard him sigh loudly in her ear before he pulled away from her. He gave her a brief kiss on her lips before walking away. She felt bad that they hadnt been as intimate or as playful as usual since they moved in with Grandpa Joseph. But they both knew it was only temporary.
As Dean walked slowly up the stairs he took one last glance at April and thought, she is my forever, once in a lifetime girl. He smiled as he continued back up to the study where he would try and concentrate.
April returned to the kitchen where she was met with Robert, Bernie and Grandpa Joseph whispering. She walked to the kitchen counter and tilted her head as she asked, "What?"
They all turned and glanced at April. Bernie smiled and said, "I will help you with the ingredients for this evening."
Bernie had already started to wash the vegetables leaving no room for April to disagree with her so she simply replied, "Thank you."
Robert and Grandpa Joseph then looked at her expectantly, "What can I do to help?" Robert asked.
April didnt need help cooking, she had accepted Bernie's help because it was Bernie's kitchen she was just a guest cooking in it. She couldn't think of a job for Grandpa Joseph nor Robert but she didnt want them hanging around the kitchen either.
"I know, my dad loves fish. Could you maybe try and catch something?" April asked.
Robert and Grandpa Joseph nodded and turned serious as if they had accepted a mission.
"We will catch you something within the hour."Grandpa Joseph then nodded determinedly.
Joseph and Robert then headed in the direction of the lake, they had a small shed just beside the middle of the lake where they kept their fishing equipment.
Joseph then turned to Robert and said, "Im only doing this for April. That useless excuse of a father doesn't deserve my fish."
Robert gave a small laugh and then added, "I agree and as you said to me and Bernie earlier he needs his priorities set straight. But I do hope that the wife and step sister come as I will have a front row seat at dinner to enjoy the festivities."
Joseph grunted and took the fishing rod from Robert and waited as Robert grabbed his and they walked the lake together. "Those two women definitely dont deserve my fish. Though I would like to use them as bait."
Robert laughed Joseph was old but Robert wasn't sure what was banter and what he truly might do. A few years back Joseph was notorious for his bad temper of course it wasn't always like that though.
Joseph had only gotten his bad reputation after he had lost his wife, his son and his son's wife. What stopped him from being totally cold was Dean, he had to raise his grandson to be strong and after losing both his parents Dean was a mess. But they were all there to help.
Back in the kitchen Bernie and April had started to peel and chop the vegetables, April had put on some music and they worked in sync to prepare dinner. April glanced at Bernie and smiled.
Bernie noticed her look and she asked, "What is it? Am I cutting it the wrong way?"
April smiled and shook her head, "No no, It's just nice. I was just remembering me and my mum cooking years ago."
Bernie nodded and didnt ask any further she didnt want to pry. Bernie changed the subject and said, "So what's next?"
April was preparing a cup of camomille tea and she handed it to Bernie.
Bernie was confused but thanked April and took the offered cup of warm calming tea, she sat on the stool beside the kitchen counter.
April then took out some beef from the fridge and as she prepared it in a roasting tray she said, "I need you to help me tonight, I need a game plan. I wasn't sure about letting Lucy and Rachel in this evening and just locking them out at the front gate but I think I have to show them that I am strong and that although they want everything that is mine. This time they cant have it."
Bernie smiled and took a sip of the warm tea, "I think your right you need to show them who is boss. Not only that but give them a taste of your new life before making them return home."
"Thats the thing I want them to know what it's like to lose everything. But with my father always supporting them, they may never truly feel the despair I did." April confided.
Bernie nodded and thought before she said, "Then maybe we can show your father tonight what they are really like.. if you want them to go from heaven to hell then your father needs to let them go."
