Your Turn to Chase Me, Reborn For Revenge

Chapter 159 - James

April had devoured the pizza and then Dean had devoured her, she fell asleep full and sated. Dean had returned to his grandfather's office and was working till morning on her surprise proposal. As the sun came up he stretched and yawned in the office chair.

He was tired but as he checked the time he knew April would be waking to go to work so he walked out of the study and down the hall to their bedroom. Instead of seeing a sleepy April rolling about in their bed like a burrito she was fully dressed and sitting on their bed.

"You're awake and dressed?" Dean asked in surprise.

"Yeah, I woke up about an hour ago and felt the cold side of our bed. I had nothing to snuggle so I got up and got ready early." April replied as she put her heels on, she then stood and walked to Dean, he was still wearing last night's clothing and his shirt was crumpled.

She was concerned about him working so much. "Why didn't you sleep?"

Dean scratched the back of his neck, he hated to lie, "It is okay. It was a one off I promise. I won't leave you at night from now on."

"Promise?" April held up her pinky finger to him asking him to swear.

"I promise." He thought her pinky swear was adorable and he held out his and joined their pinky fingers. Although it was slightly childish he would keep every promise he made to her.

"Laid out a suit for you, go get showered and changed and I will meet you downstairs," April said as she smiled at him and walked out.

"Okay, beautiful." Dean was happy, in this life he was so content but he had a bad feeling and it unsettled him. Maybe he was overthinking his own acceptance of his happiness that was making himself feel uneasy. He pushed away any bad thoughts and walked into the bathroom to shower.

After breakfast Dean then took April to work in his car as they drove April kept glancing in his direction. He waited for her to get whatever it is off of her mind even though it was driving him crazy to find out.

"Dean?" April called out to him to get his attention, little did she know he was waiting for her to talk the whole car journey.

"Yes, angel?" He replied eager to hear her thoughts.

"I have my meeting with James" She glanced his way and saw his jaw tick when she said his name so she changed how she referred to James, "I mean I am meeting with Mr Stwart today."

"I know. Micheal will be with you and your guard will be at the door also." Dean added as he winked at her.

April rolled her eyes at his protectiveness but also appreciated his attentiveness. "There is no need but thank you. What is the guard's name?"

While driving he replied to her happily that she wasn't mad at him, "You have already met him but when we arrive at your office I will introduce you properly."

"Okay and also I will have minimal involvement after I show Mr Stewart the plans for the renovation."

"Good, one meeting is more than enough. I wish I was going instead of Micheal but he is a good substitute." Dean then pulled the car over and parked just outside of Walker Interiors.

"I dont even want to think about what you would do or say if you were attending the meeting this morning." April laughed as she picked up her handbag and got ready to get off the car, she put her hand on the door when she heard Dean say, "Wait."

April then watched as Dean got out of the driver's side and walked around to her passenger door side she saw him smile as he opened her door. He held out his

hand to her and she took it. As she got out of the car he closed the door behind her. She looked towards Walker Interiors and she noticed James standing by the door with a large bunch of white lilies in his hands. Lilly's were Lucy's favourite flowers, not hers. She had allergies and the only flowers she could accept were roses.

Dean still holding her hand walked her towards the doors of Walker Interiors, James looked up and beamed at her, it repulsed her.

James walked forwards and greeted her holding out the flowers to her, "April good morning these are for you."

"Good morning Mr Stewart. I'm sorry I am allergic and can't accept them but maybe you should give them to Lucy."

"Why would I give them to Lucy? Didn't you always love white Lilly's?"

"No I am allergic and they are Lucy's favourite flowers." April calmly added, he really was a buffoon. She must have worn blinkers in her past life she thought.

"Oh," James said, he then threw them into the trash bin just to the side of the road before returning and holding his hand out to her.

He had ignored Dean the whole time just staring at April, this infuriated Dean. His angel was not to be ogled by others.

Dean stepped forward and put his hand out which took James by surprise but he smiled awkwardly and grasped his hand to shake it. He thought Dean was just an ordinary good looking man he hadn't realised who he was as he kept his attention on April and not the man with her.

While shaking his hand Dean started to exert some force and James face became red, he tried to discreetly take his hand back but was unable to.

After a moment Dean let go and James winced as he shook his hand and checked it, his hand was red and pulsating. James awkwardly smiled and said, "Nice to meet you." He then looked at April and smiled, "Shall we go?" He then held his hand out to lead the way for her.

April turned to Dean, "I will see you at home later." She leaned up and managed to kiss his cheek as he leaned down to her.

As she walked into Walker Interiors she glanced back and sure enough, Dean was still standing there. Forever her protector she thought.
