A/N: you guys are really nice to be reviewing my story,especially Valleri'66. Please keep the reviews coming :D. Any way this chapter is going to be about the morning after the prom where Micky and Peter agree to keep what happened the night before between Stephanie and Davy under wraps from Mike.
Chapter 4
Bright and early the next morning,Stephanie had been awoken by the bright sunlight shinning brightly through her bedroom window. Turning her head away from the almost blinding sun, Stephanie found that she was not alone in her bed that morning.
Staring in awe at her bedside companion,Stephanie nuzzled her head underneath Davy's and let out a contented sigh. Slowly closing her eyes,Stephanie soon jumped the second she heard a knock upon the bedroom door. Grabbing something to throw on before answering the door,Stephanie woke up Davy,who she threw his clothes at and locked him inside of her bedroom closet.
With the knocking on the door growing louder,Stephanie finally answered once, the room was cleared from any traces of Davy. Opening the door, Stephanie saw Mike standing on the balcony.
" It's about time you opened the door kid."said Mike
" Sorry for taking so long, but I can't exactly jump out of bed first thing in the morning." Stephanie said with a sigh
" Well,I figured you'd be awake since you do have school this morning."said Mike
" School doesn't start at 5:30 in the morning,big brother."said Stephanie
" What time did you and Davy get home last night?"asked Mike
" A little after midnight,why?"asked Stephanie
" Because I didn't know what happened to the two of you after the dance ended last night."Mike said with a sigh
" We left early because, I didn't feel like sticking around,so we came home hung out and then went to sleep in our own beds after."said Stephanie " Any more questions officer Nesmith?"
" No."said Mike " Just get dressed for school."
Shutting the door,Stephanie locked it and let out an exasperated sigh,as she leaned against it. Almost forgetting that she had thrown Davy in her bedroom closet,Stephanie walked over to the closet and opened the door, and found a pile of clothes on top of him. Picking the clothes off, Stephanie apologized for throwing him into the mess that was her closet.
" I am so sorry." Stephanie said with a small pout
" That's okay."said Davy " At least you didn't tell me to hang out of the window."
" Listen Davy,about last night..."said Stephanie
" What about it?"asked Davy as he sat down on the bed
" You don't think we made a mistake,do you?"asked Stephanie
" No. Unless you think it was."said Davy
" Oh no, I don't think that at all." said Stephanie as she walked over to her bed and sat down
Placing her head upon Davy's shoulder,Stephanie let out a relaxed sigh just as there was another knock upon the door. Already under the assumption that it was Mike again,Davy got ready to go back into the closet as Stephanie went to answer the door. Before unlocking the door,Stephanie decided to ask who was out there first.
" Who's out there?"asked Stephanie
" It's Micky." a voice replied " Open the door."
With Davy now dressed in his clothes from last night, Stephanie unlocked the door and allowed Micky to come inside. Quickly locking the door, Stephanie rejoined Davy on the bed,as Micky stood next to Stephanie's dresser. Glancing over at the two of them,Micky shook his head before finally speaking.
" This is definitely a very awkward situation,right about now."said Micky
" You're not going to tell my brother, are you Micky?" Stephanie asked nervously
" No." Micky sighed " I won't say anything to Mike but, I am going to have to talk to the two of you though."
" If you're going to talk to us, then what are you going to do about Mike?"asked Davy as he held tightly onto Stephanie's hand
" Don't worry, I'll handle that when I get downstairs in a minute."said Micky " As for right now, Steph's gonna get ready for school like she normally does while you wait up here until, me and Peter get rid of Mike."
Leaving Stephanie's room,Micky slid down the bannister and landed on his feet with a loud thud,and a stern warning from Mike who was drinking a cup of coffee and reading the morning paper.
" Dammit it Micky, when will you stop doing that?" Mike asked in annoyance
" Probably until I break some part of my body, I guess." Micky replied shrugging his shoulders
" Just go wake up Peter and Davy because we've got to go and see Pop today,about getting that gig tonight at his restaurant."said Mike
" That's not until next week."said Micky " And besides today you're supposed to go food shopping today remember?"
" It shouldn't take long if we have,a list of what we need." Mike sighed
" As a matter of fact, I do happen to have a list right here." Micky said digging into his pants pocket
Pulling out what seemed like a small rolled up piece of paper, Micky unravelled the paper which went all the way from the kitchen to the end of the alcove bandstand. Handing the list over to Mike, who looked at it and scratched his head, Micky patted him on the shoulder and told him to make sure that he gets absolutely evevrything, that's written on the list.
" Micky,are you sure we need everything on this list?"asked Mike
" Couldn't be surer." Micky said nodding his head
" This is gonna take me at least all mornin' to get this done."said Mike
" Then maybe you should get started,instead of wasting your time by talking to me." Micky said as he pushed Mike towards the front door
" Just make sure Steph leaves for school, on time will ya." Mike said as he left the house
" Don't worry, I'll handle everything."Micky said as he shut the front door
Yelling up the stairs for Stephanie and Davy once Mike had finally drive away,Micky knew that he needed to figure out some way to keep Mike from figuring out all about what had happened between Stephanie and Davy last night. While waiting for them to come downstairs,Micky was soon joined by Peter,who just came out of his room yawning.
" Hey,where is everyone?" Peter yawned
" Steph and Davy are on their way down now, as for Mike I sent him out shopping for food."said Micky as he continued to stare up at Stephanie's door
" Mike's usually a quick shopper,so that doesn't leave much time."said Peter
" Relax Pete,the list I wrote should at least bide us some time and plus depending on the morning traffic to and from the grocery store."said Micky
" Is my brother gone?" Stephanie called from over the balcony
" All clear Steph, so you two can come down now."Micky shouted back
Walking down the stairs together,Stephanie headed into the bathroom to clean up before school,while Davy avoided eye contact with Micky and Peter.
" Hey Davy,Maybe you should go change your clothes,before Mike comes back." Peter suggested
" I'll be back in a few minutes then."Davy said as he made his way into his and Peter's room
" Today's going to be a very long day." Micky sighed
" What are we going to say to Mike,about the Stephanie and Davy situation?"asked Peter
" First of all,we need to talk to Steph and find out what she told Mike this morning,and go with whatever she said to him for now."said Micky
" Something tells me that, if in some way the truth comes out,it's going to change all of our lives."Peter sighed
" Maybe we won't have to worry about that, if we all stick to the exact same story."said Micky
As soon as Stephanie and Davy returned, the two of them joined Micky and Peter at the kitchen table to go over what, Stephanie had told Mike this morning about last night. Sighing as she told Davy,Micky and Peter what she had said to Mike this morning,Stephanie left the table and ran upstairs to get dressed for school.
Right after she was dressed in her school clothes, Stephanie ran back downstairs, grabbed her back pack and got ready to leave. Offering to walk her to school like he did yesterday,Davy felt Micky and Peter each grab one of his arms,and sat him back down in the kitchen chair.
" What's wrong with you two?"asked Davy
" I think you and Steph have spent enough time together last night."said Micky
" He was just going to walk her to school Micky."said Peter
" Steph's a big girl,and can take the bus to school like normal kids do."said Micky
" You're forgetting something Micky, this isn't a normal house with normal people,so how could I possibly be normal if I live here too?" asked Stephanie as she left the house and closed the door
" That young lady,is gonna be the death of us yet." Micky groaned
Making her way down to the corner bus stop,Stephanie saw no sign of Casey or Amy yet,which was a small sigh of relief. Leaning against the the stop sign,Stephanie dropped her back pack on the ground,just as Amy and Casey were making their way to the corner.
Noticing that Casey was wearing a pair of dark glasses,Stephanie wondered if her friend had a little too much fun after the prom ended last night.
" Casey,what's with the sunglasses?"asked Stephanie picking up her back pack
" Do you always have to talk so loud?" Casey cringed as she covered her ears
" Don't tell me, she's hung over." said Stephanie
" Let's just say Casey's had way too much fun last night." Amy sighed
" I only had a few small drinks." Casey groaned
" Darling, what you drank last night,was way more than a few." said Amy
" So, Steph did anything interesting happen with you and Davy last night?" asked Casey
" I have no idea what you're talking about." said Stephanie as she pursed her lips
" Obviously you two went off and did something because, a few people saw the two of you leave."said Casey
" I'm sure that Davy was the perfect gentleman,last night." said Amy as she smacked Casey in the arm
" Whatever may or may not have happened last night, is between me and Davy and nobody else." Stephanie sighed
Although something did happen last night between her and Davy, the very last thing she needed was for Casey to figure things out and blab to the entire school, or even the entire city of Los Angeles.
Once the bus arrived, Stephanie and her friends climbed aboard,and finally headed off to school.
