Chapter 25:Clean up & Cover up

I wake up with a start, 'It's too warm in here' I think to myself. I open my eyes and see Richard wrapped around me like ivy his arms and his legs tangled with mine and his head in the crook of my shoulder.

I glance over and see Richard's beautiful face sleeping peacefully. 'He looks so peaceful and untroubled when he sleeps' I think to myself.

I shift a bit to try to untangle myself without waking Richard up.

"What, what?" he says as he wakes up with a start. He looks around the room and then glances at me and smiles.

"Morning beautiful", he says.

"Morning", I say and smile.

"Did you sleep well?" he asks.

"Yes I find your heartbeat most soothing", I say and blush.

Richard chuckles and kisses my lips softly, "You look so beautiful when you blush", he says.

I blush even more as my stomach growls loudly.

"Would you like breakfast in bed?" he asks.

"Sure, that would be lovely", I say


I brush my teeth, shower and change into some clean clothes. Richard is waiting for me with a tray of breakfast as I enter the room.

He smiles as he sees me. I look down at the tray and there are two plates there is an omelets with a side of bacon and 2 glasses of orange juice.

"You made this?" I ask surprised.

"Of course where do think I've been the past hour", he says and laughs.

I smile and take a bit of the omelet, "Mm it's good", I say and kiss his cheek.

"Thank you Richard", I say.

"No problem Kori", he says.

We sit down on Richard's bed and start to eat breakfast talking about what happened at the party.

"How's your hand?" I ask referring to how he punched Xavier last night.

"Better", he says.

We finish eating breakfast and I go downstairs as Richard gets ready. As I walk downstairs the house is a mess. There are red plastic cups, beer bottle, toilet paper, and food scattered everywhere.

'Richard is going to get in so much trouble' I think to myself. I hear a knock on the door that interrupts my thought. I open the door and I see a cleaning crew outside.

"Hi where Mike's cleaning crew, is this the Grayson residence?" the man asks.

"Yes, um come on in", I say and open the door wider.

The cleaning crew comes in and surveys the mess, they then pull out some cleaning supplies and begin to get to work. I decide to get out of their way and go to the kitchen. Richard comes in not long after me.

"You hired a cleaning crew?" I ask.

"Yep, smart idea isn't it", he says.

"Very", I say impressed and he grins.


The house looks as good as new after the cleaning crew finishes. After they leave Richard and I leave to pick up Tim from a sleepover at a friend's house and then go back to Wayne Manor. When we arrive back Bruce and Alfred are back from their trip.

"How was the party?" Bruce asks as we walk in.

"Pfft what party?" Richard asks and avoids Bruce's eyes.

"The party last night that is shown on the security cameras", Bruce says.

Richard looks shocked, "Aww shit"; he says and mutters about forgetting to erase the footage.

"Both of you in my study now", Bruce says sternly.

"Aww why am I am in trouble! He's the one who had the party", Tim wines.

Bruce gets him a stare almost like the 'bat glare' from the batman movies. Tim gulps then walks down the hall to Bruce's study.

"I suggest you take Kori home now", he says to Richard coldly then leaves.

Richard sighs and takes my hand as we go outside to his car.

"How much trouble do you think you're in?" I ask as Richard drives me home.

"Tons, but it was worth it", he says and grins and I smile back.

I say goodbye to Richard and wish him luck enduring Bruce's wrath. I go inside to an empty house. I notice a note on the kitchen dinner.

Went out for to dinner be back soon

We love you!

-Mom

I put the note back on the counter and go upstairs to put my bag down. I decide to watch some TV and fix some dinner so I go downstairs and put some macaroni and cheese in the microwave. After I finish I go to the living room and turn on the TV. I finish my macaroni and curl up on the couch.


I wake up as I hear my alarm ring. I look around and I am in my bed. 'My parents must have put me here' I think to myself.

I get up and go to my bathroom to get ready for school. After I finish brushing my teeth and showering I put on my baby blue romper and some silver sandals.

"Hi mom, how was dinner?" I ask as I walk in the kitchen.

"Good, I'm sorry you couldn't come dear we weren't expecting you home so soon", my mom says.

"It's fine", I say and fix some toast.

"Did you have a nice time at the party?" My mom asks.

"Yea, it was nice", I say.

"Good, how was your sleepover at Rachel's?" My mom asks.

I smile, "Great", I say even though I slept over at Richard house.

"That's good I'm glad you had a lovely time", my mom says.

"Me too", I say.


Richard car pulls up in the driveway and I go outside to meet him anticipating what happened between him and Bruce.

"Morning, how are you today?" I ask and kiss his lips.

"Better now", he says and kisses me again.

"How much trouble did you get in?" I ask referring to the party.

Richard shrugs, "I got a pretty stern lecture from Bruce and I have to do extra chores for the next 3 months, and I got my allowance cut in half for the two months", he says.

"Wow that sucks", I say.

Richard shrugs again, "I've had worse punishment, I think because I cleaned up the party after it happened", he says.

"Oh", I say. 'Bruce must be a pretty strict parent' I think to myself.


As we reach school everyone is talking about the party. Richard and I finally reach first period and sit at our lab table with Vic and Gar.

"Dude, that was some party, I say we have another one!"Gar says and we sit down.

Richard shakes his head, "Maybe next year", Richard says.

"You got busted didn't you?" Vic asks.

"Yep but it was worth it", Richard says.

Class begins to start and we start focusing on our assignments.


After first period I walk down the hall to chorus class.

"Kori", a male voice says.

I turn around, "Xavier", I say.

"We need to talk", he says.

"I do not care to hear anything you have to say", I say and turn around.

"Look Kori, just hear me out I'm sorry", he says.

I turn around, "What?" I ask disbelieving.

"I'm sorry for grabbing you like that at the party, I was drunk", he says.

"That still no reason to grab me like that", I say.

"I know, but I really like you Kori and I just wanted to say I'm sorry", he says.

I sigh; "Ok" I say and take pity on him. He seemed genuinely sorry for what he did so I would give him the benefit of the doubt this time.

He smiles, "Thank you Kori", he says and pulls me in for a hug.

I hug him back tentatively and when I break away I stare over his shoulder in horror.

Richard is staring at us furiously, his hands are in fist along his side and he storms over to me and Xavier. He glares at Xavier furiously.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" he asks angrily.
