Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge-Chapter 106 - Cat
Chapter 106 - Cat
With his grandfather's promise he then glanced at April waiting for her response, he wanted her opinion even though moving back with his grandfather was not ideal if she wanted to then he, of course, wouldn't have any objections.
April had listened to both of their arguments and although she had partly understood Dean's worries and the power dynamic of the Davis family, she would get to know his family better by being around them, this was her opportunity.
"I would like to stay." She answered Dean, she then looked at Joseph, "That's if you are sure you have space for us."
Joseph laughed, "Of course I have space, all I have is time and space, I just rattle about in this big empty house by myself. Your company is my blessing and a pleasure." 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚
Dean could only concede, after all his angel's wish is his command, he wanted to give her a family and although she had her dad he wanted her to know more about familia love.
"Okay, we will move in next weekend then." Dean then announced.
Joseph slapped his knee he was overjoyed at the news, and he hoped that once they moved in they would stay. "The best news I have had all year. Bernie and Sam get the best room ready for next weekend."
"You don't have to go to any trouble, we just need a roof over our head for a while, I will see how quickly I can get the builders to complete the structural work," April replied.
"That's my girl, so we won't stay long grandpa" Dean grabbed her slim waist and pulled April closer. He hoped she was rushing the building work because she wanted alone time with him.
Embarrassed by his manhandling in front of Joseph she tried to push his hands away, he was always affectionate and never seemed to care about the time, place or who is around.
"Now now you can't rush these things, take your time. You, young people, are always in a rush." Joseph tried to settle her worries about staying longer.
Dean turned to his grandfather, "I will get extra security and I will feel more at ease about staying here." He then glanced at everyone around the table, "If you could all look after April while I'm not around I would greatly appreciate it."
Robert was the first to speak up. "Of course we will."
"Not a problem." Replied Sam
"I will make your room all cosy." Bernie looked at Dean and April and smiled.
"That's settled then." Joseph was happy.
April looked down and felt something at her feet, she looked under the table and saw a grey cat rubbing itself on her legs. She bent down and scooped up the pretty feline and carried it into her arms for a cuddle, it had white paws that looked like socks. She loved all animals. She petted the small cat and glanced at Joseph.
Joseph shrugged his shoulders, "Sam got me the cat to keep me company but he hates everyone. I always had big dogs so I am not sure how to care for a cat."
April giggled as the small cat purred in her arms, she found it hard to believe that the small cat could hate anyone. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Dean put his hand out to pet the cat but the cat turned and slapped his hand away, Dean frowned, he tried to take the cat out of April's arms but it hissed at him.
"April it could scratch you if it's unfriendly, put it down." Joseph started to feel concerned that the cat may lash out as it had done so to him in the past.
"I think he likes me, what's his name?" April replied, she was smitten by the small cat.
"We have just been calling him cat." Answered Bernie, she had been feeding the cat and trying to make friends with it but he didn't seem to like any of them.
"You can name him if you like, he seems to like you." Anything that made her smile like that was worth a few scratches, Dean could only give in.
"I'll think about it after we spend some time together," April replied.
"Shall I get dessert?" Bernie asked as she picked up some of the dinner dishes.
"Oh, I'll help you." April set the grey cat into Dean's arms and lifted some plates before following Bernie to the kitchen.
Dean and the small grey cat stared at each other, neither were happy with this arrangement but they made do for April's sake.
Being left alone the men all began to talk more freely about the game plan with Mark. Dean's only concern was April's safety and his uncle Mark was unpredictable. In order to get power Dean knew he was capable of anything. He had died suddenly in his past life and couldn't investigate it but it had to have been his uncles doing.
Joseph was reliable and if he said something he meant it, he loved his son Mark but his son had become power and money hungry. He had been like that since Dean's parents had passed away. That's when everything changed within the Davis's family.
Mark had felt aggrieved that Joseph came out of retirement and took over the company until Dean was old enough and had proved himself with his own company before Joseph could then retire again and hand over the reins of the company to Dean. Dean then merged his company with the Davis company making it the largest company in the City.
Bernie and April then returned with coffee and chocolate cake for dessert. The men quickly stopped talking as Bernie and April approached with plates and a large chocolate cake.
Sam walked into the kitchen and helped bring out the coffee pot and Robert helped him to bring out some cups to the dining room.
Knowing she had missed something as they had all abruptly stopped talking, April glanced around and asked, "Cake anyone?" She was curious but she didn't feel it was her place to ask any questions.
As she sat down the small grey cat meowed and jumped back into her lap. It meowed in protest because she had left him with Dean before it then curled up on her lap and got comfortable.
