Sitting on the small steps that graced the outside of her house, Lauren had often pondered the thought of moving in with her lover. It wasn't that she didn't want to, it's that she couldn't. I mean who could with a serial rapist for a father. Sure first chance she got she'd be gone but it wasn't as easy as you think with a hot headed lover and a father as drunk as sin. She sighed. She hadn't told her lover about her father's actions towards her nor did she really want to but now she had an undying feeling it was the only way she was going to keep her life this year. She paused. Thinking about a good way to tell him, just come right out with it he'll know what to do. She fiddled slightly nervous about telling him. I mean what if he went off his head did something crazy? Well it's nothing she hasn't already seen. Or at least she hoped.
''Come back with me please Lauren.'' The voice had asked many times but now this time when she was asked. She wanted to go. She wanted to be treated right and knew he was the only one that was able or willing to treat her right. She nodded in response and could have sworn she saw his eye lit up. But wait. What about daddy. He wouldn't be very happy with me. I mean Sophie's already moved out he's lost his little toy. Shame really he doesn't lose his friend.
''Alright. I'll come back with you. But there is things you need to know. Horrid things about my father.'' She sighed trying to keep calm about the situation. But it wasn't easy. A few stray tears painted her cheeks as she spoke almost speaking to herself ''He rapes me,'' she sighed again standing up slowly. She did this only to be braced in the warmth and care of her lover's arms.
Danielle stood for the first time glancing around the lair. It was one of the few times she had ever been this excited over something so small. Well then again it wasn't everyday your boyfriend was a giant talking turtle who lived in and underground lair and was a ninja, mask and all. Trying to keep her cool and act normal she smiled lovingly over to her boyfriend. Who shot her a smile shy smile back giving her a small warm fuzzy feeling inside. That somehow calmed down her excitement slightly. Don on the other hand was glad his girlfriend was here. I mean with all the idiots he had to deal with throughout the day, it would be nice just to see her face and let the pain of the day melt away. Although he was on a mission to convince his girl to stay with him. Not to leave him like he thought she would. But that's what he hoped for. Gently taking her hand he led her towards what he would consider as his safe room. The lab. He walked her inside with the same little shy smile he had on before. She ran her finger tips along the bottles that rested on his desk. A wide smile on her face.
''Don this is amazing,'' she spoke in a slightly excited tone. It was clear to the brainy turtle that he was slowly winning her over making it so she wouldn't want to leave him again. Well at least that's what he was hoping. Placing a feather light kiss to her cheek, he smiled.
''I am glad you like it. Very glad.'' A toothy grin was on his face as he turned looking at her with the biggest eyes she may have ever seen. Again he placed a small kiss to her other cheek gently taking her hands to rest in his larger ones.
Cuddled sweetly under the blankets, Leo and Sophie shared a small bowl of butter infused popcorn while they watched the space hero's special on TV. This was not the first time they had snuggled under the warmth of his covers but it certainly wasn't going to be the last. Or at least that's what they both had hoped for. Occasionally their hands would meet in between the warm cornels of the corn and a light blush would grace its way onto her cheeks. Maybe sometimes even his. This was normal though for them to be this calm about their relationship. I mean she had moved in with him after all. Or maybe it was just a way for her to escape from her father. She wasn't really sure. But she had often felt bad for leaving her sister at the mercy of a man she once would of called daddy. Snuggling more together, Sophie laid contently in his embrace. No words were needed. They were happy together like that snuggled under the covers. Taking a small piece of the butter filled popcorn she placed it into her mouth chewing softly on the food. She sighed to herself then slowly closed her eyes and fell into a small slumber still listening to the actions on the show, one they were meant to be watching together. As a couple.
Mikey kept a little rosy blush on his face. This was the first time the two of them had laid in close proximity to each other. But he never wanted this moment to end. As he gently kissed her forehead she would snuggle into him more. Making the blush on his cheeks spread and become slightly bigger than what it already was. He smiled at his girl, she smiled back. He slowly sat up; still holding her close as he gather his orange blanket and placed it around her shoulders hoping to keep her warm in their first night spent together. Her first night in her new home. He held her closer to him being like a small protection net. Not that they really need protecting in here but he always wanted to protect her. I mean who wouldn't want to protect their lady. Only an idiot that's who! She sighed happily. Sure it was their first night like this, but she hoped it was the first of many happy nights to come. Not that she had really thought far ahead. Live in the moment is what her mother would always say to her and right now that's what she was doing. Living in the moment.
