Chapter 139 - No Escape
April opened her eyes and glanced around at her surroundings, she then jumped in surprise when she saw Grandpa Joseph dressed and reading a newspaper beside them in his armchair. A fire had been lit and the heat probably woke her up.
Grandpa Joseph saw her sleepy face and laughed.
She had fallen asleep in the living room on Dean's chest, she rubbed her eyes adjusting to the light. She would never usually nap during the day. As she jumped she woke Dean who had been holding on tightly to her waist the whole time.
Dean sat up only to hold her close to him again as if protecting her from some invisible force. She pushed away and moved off his knee.
"Sorry grandpa, I didn't realise," April said as she stood up and fixed her hair.
Joseph frowned, "This is your home and you are family no need to apologise. Just do as you normally would."
"I don't normally nap." April smiled and then realised she was cooking so she added. "Oh the dinner, I have to check it." She was about to go to the kitchen when she heard Grandpa Joseph reply.
"Bernie has it covered not to worry," Joseph reassured her.
"Oh okay." April nodded, of course, Bernie would be looking after their dinner she thought.
"Come on let's go change for dinner." Dean stood and stretched and ushered April up the stairs. His old man really liked to pamper his angel and he wanted to be the only one to receive her laughs and affection.
Grandpa Joseph saw his grandson's facial expressions and laughed, he held her hand as they walked upstairs together. He was exactly like him when he had married his wife. The Davis men fell for one woman and they fell hard. He wished his wife and Dean's parents were alive to see this.
Dean held Aprils hand and even when they entered their bedroom he hadn't let go.
When April tried to untangle their hands and enter the bathroom Dean hadn't yet let go. She turned to him confused but when she looked up and saw his facial expression she was immediately concerned.
April walked closer to Dean and asked, "What's wrong?"
Dean didn't say anything and instead pulled her towards him as he sat on the edge of the bed, as he did he pulled her to sit on his knee again.
As he did this April allowed him to pull her towards him as she waited for his response. She was starting to worry even more.
"Nothing's wrong. It just I had a dream… and in it, we met but it was brief and then I lost you… so when I woke because you had jumped out of my arms the loss of you in my arms and in my dream. I felt it all as if it was real." Dean held her cheek as he explained.
He knew it wasn't a dream but he relived the past and it was more like a nightmare. In his dream, his past life played out and he had not got this second chance. When he didn't feel her body against his he panicked.
Dean was thankful that it was just a nightmare but at the same time reliving his past life reminded him of his loss and what he had gained in his current life.
April was shocked by his dream she too remembered their past life connection. She wondered if he somehow had a glimpse of it. So she asked playfully, "In your dream did I save you?"
Dean was taken aback by her question but knew she couldn't possibly be reincarnated too. So he smiled and pulled her chin towards his lips as he kissed her briefly before saying, "Every day you save me."
April giggled and pushed at his chest, "Okay, enough." His cheesy response let her know he was okay and she was no longer concerned. "Let's get ready."
April then noticed a suit and a dress laid out at the bottom of the bed, "Did you?"
Her words were stopped by another kiss this time he trailed small kisses down her neck.
"Stop it." She giggled, "People are waiting."
"Let them," Dean announced.
Just then April's phone rang and she tried to reach it on time but Dean had her pinned to his body as he kissed and nibbled at her skin. She felt flustered and heat rose up to her cheeks.
The ringing stopped and she pushed at Dean, "Really we have no time for this."
"Okay but later… no escape," Dean remarked, he smirked and his eyebrow rose playfully.
April rolled her eyes, she would think of an excuse later but for now, she agreed, "Later."
To Aprils surprise that was enough to make Dean smile and he bounced up with her like a puppy who had just been given a treat.
April now realised that in order to get Dean to do anything or say yes to anything all she had to do was say yes to being intimate with him. She laughed at her newly found weapon.
"Bernie must have left our clothes out… You don't have to wear what she placed out for you though. Just be yourself and be comfortable." Dean said as he looked at the matching outfits.
Deans suit was cobalt blue and so was Aprils dress. April had thought that Bernie had chosen to make them match to show off in front of her step sister and step mother. She smiled Bernie was indeed petty and very smart. It was a subtle yet powerful statement to make.
"No no, I think she has chosen perfectly. So let's go with this." April said before going to get a towel for herself before entering the bathroom.
"Oh who called you?" Dean asked as he waited just outside of their closet.
"I forgot to check." April then glanced at her phone, it was a missed call from her father.. "It was my dad, I'll ring him back," April said before dialling her father's mobile number.
