《Love on Top》Ch.24
Advertisement
Daphne and I were at my house. It was the day before I left for business trip to London and Daphne decided to stay one more night. Daphne was taking a nap in my bed due to her staying up late last night to finish an article for work. I was sitting at my desk while looking over emails. I see movement out of the corner of my eye and I looked over at Daphne who had sat up slowly. I looked back at the email I was reading. I hear the sound of yawning behind me and I looked up again to see Daphne in nothing but a shirt of mine and her underwear walking past me. She yawned again and walked towards my bathroom. She closed the door and then I heard the lock click.
Ten minutes later, Daphne emerges from the bathroom and sits on the couch behind my desk. She sits down on it. I continued looking through emails.
"Had a nice nap?" I asked.
"Mhm," She mumbled sleepily.
"Why don't you go back to sleep," I suggested.
"If I do that then I'll be up all night," She tells me. Before I could respond. my doorbell rings. Dave and Cristian started barking and they both ran out of the ran to the front door.
"I'll get it," I said. She nods and mumbles 'okay'. I go downstairs to the front door and when I opened it, I saw Morgan standing there.
"Morgan, what are you doing here?" I asked in irritation.
"Sammy, I'm sorry for cheating on you and I want you back," She answered. I pondered what she said for a moment before responding.
"Okay," I simply stated. Her face lit up.
"Really?" She asked with a smile.
"No," I answered.
"Samuel," She whined.
"Morgan, what we had is over. I'm sorry, but I found somebody new," I tell her.
"Oh please. Whoever you found is not going to treat you as well as I did," She scoffed.
"Well? You cheated on me. How did cheating on me correlate over to you treating me well?" I asked.
"Samuel, don't remember all the good times we had?" She asked moving closer to me.
"By good times do you men the few hours away from you I had to myself at work? Because if we're talking about that then yes I do remmeber those good times," I answered.

"Samuel, you know you still want me," She cooed.
"I want you as much as I want a broken leg, Morgan," I said.
"Samuel," Daphne's sleepy voice averted my attention from Morgan. Morgan looked at Daphne and I saw rage flash in her eyes.
"You left me for that?!" Morgan screeched. Daphne walks to the door and sees Morgan. She still looked sleepy.
"Listen, sweetheart. I don't want to hear you yelling right now. I just woke up and I, or Samuel, don't have time to be talking to you while you throw a damn hissy fit like a fucking three year old," Daphne shot at her.
"Are you going to let her talk to me like that, Samuel?" Morgan yelled.
"Yes," I answered.
"Since you got your answer, you can leave, honey," Daphne said.Morgan stomped her foot and stormed off. I closed and locked the front door. I tuned around and looked at Daphne who was holding Cristian in her arms.
"You really knew how to pick them, Samuel," Daphne said.
"A cousin of mine set me up with her," I replied.
"Don't trust that cousin ever again." Daphne tells me.
"I won't because I have all the woman I need," I smiled.
"Aww that's sweet, but I'm hungry," She murmured. I rolled my eyes and chuckled.
"Fine. What do you want to eat?" I asked.
"I don't know. You choose," She answered, "And don't choose somethin nasty."
"I won't," I responded.
"Good because if you did, I would have to fight you," She said as she put down Cristian.
"Oh really?" I querie.
"Mhm," She nods.
"So you say," I muttered.
"Don't play with me, Samuel. I will literally fight you," She replied. I laughed a little and walked over to kiss her softly on the lips.
"So how about we go out to eat?" I asked. She shot a look at me.
"Going out to eat is a no," I mumbled.
"White Castle?" I queried.
"Sure," She nods.
"Okay. I'll drive over there and you can just text me what you want," I explained.
"Thanks, Sam," She smiled.
"You're welcome," I kissed her forehead. We both walked upstairs to my bedroom where I slipped on socks and a pair of sneakers. I grabbed my wallet and car keys.

"I'll be back," I said. She nods again and sits down on my couch. As I left the room, I heard the sound of the tv. I got outside to my car and I got in. I drove off to White Castle. While driving there, I received a text from Daphne that involved what she wanted.
When I arrived back from White Castle, I went to my kitchen and set the food down onto the counter. I went upstairs to my room and I found Daphne watching tv while Dave laid his head in her lap and while Christian laid beside her. I smiled to myself and took a picture of this scene before me. Daphne looks over he shoulder and sees me.
"Food is downstairs in the kitchen," I informed.
"Oh okay," She nods. She stands up and turns off the television. She stretches and I walked out of the room then downstairs to the kitchen. I sit down and grabbed whatever I had ordered out of the bag. Daphne comes down stairs with Dave and Cristian right behind her. She sits down at the table and grabs her food out of the bag and starts eating.
"So my grandmother called me earlier saying that Sidney stopped by the house," She tells me.
"Oh really? What did she go there for?" I inquired.
"She said that Sidney came for a 'little visit' because she 'misses her grandparents'," Daphne replied.
"Is something wrong with her visiting them?" I questioned.
"Well the fact that when she was in college, she told them on Thanksgiving that they were 'too loud' and 'ghetto' for her tastes," She responded.
"Seriously?" I frowned.
"Yes. She even called our cousins uneducated, uncivilized hoodrats who have no futures at all," She added.
"Your sister is beyond evil," I remarked.
"Don't you think I know this?" Daphne asked.
"Anyways, what did she visit for?" I asked.
"She went there and spouted the same bullshit as usual about me to our grandmother. She said that I 'slept with Fredrick' and that I 'ruined her wedding'," She explained.
"And what did your grandmother say?" I queried.
"She told her to shut the hell up and get out of her house with that bullshit," Daphne answered. I started to laugh a little.
"Wow," I chuckled. Daphne giggled.
"Yeah I kind of laughed when she told me," Daphne murmured.
"I bet," I smiled.
"She also asked me about something," Daphne calmed down.
"What did she ask you?" I inquired.
"It's a little embarrassing to say," She answered.
"Daphne, I won't laugh," I assured her.
"She asked me when you were going to get me pregnant so she can have great grandkids already," She explained.
"Wow." I simply stated.
"Yeah. I told her that we weren't even engaged or married," She said.
"Yeah we aren't, but I would like to marry you some day," I replied.
"Me too. Kids will come later down the line," She agreed.
"Yeah they will," I nodded.
"And the only kid you have now is Cristian," She joked. I laughed softly.
"Same goes for you and Dave," I smiled.
"I've already adopted Dave anyway," She giggled.
"I don't want this to happen, but if we ever break up, will I pay child support for Cristian?" I asked. She burst into an infectious laugh.
"Yes you will," She said between laughs. I laughed too.
"Okay then," I nodded. After eating, we both went back upstairs to my room to watch television in my room. I decided to turn on my Amazon firestick so we could watch Netflix. Daphne suggested that we watch What's Eating Gilbert Grape? I decided to just watch it with her considering how I have never ever seen that movie before. Daphne was sitting between my legs on the couch with her head resting back onto my chest.
"He should've won an Oscar for this movie and his other ones," She tells me.
"Yeah he should've," I murmured. We both continued to watch the movie together until Daphne fell asleep on top of me. I had to carry her to my bed and then I had to tuck her in as well before I went to go shower. After my shower, I set my alarm, then got into bed with Daphne who moved closer to me. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her closer to me.
