Part Four
He found her sitting under the picnic table, her knees drawn up to her chest like a small child.
"What do you want?" asked the muffled voice from beneath the table.
"A million dollars, a supermodel love slave…the list goes on and on." David replied with a smirk.
"Well good luck with that. Now leave me alone."
"Daisy, Daisy, Daisy," he said shaking his head, "when are you going to realize I'm never going to leave you alone."
And with that comment hanging in the air he squeezed himself under the wooden picnic table with her.
"Ow," he muttered as his shoulder banged against one of the wooden slats. "Oh all the places to chose why here?"
"It's safe." She said softly.
He waited for an explanation to that reason and just as he was sure she wasn't going to expound on it she spoke.
"When I was little and mommy and daddy would get really smashed I use to hide. Always in small places, like closets, under beds…I thought that they wouldn't be able to see me, and I'd be…safe. Silly I know."
"Nah, silly is the stuff I use to do to get my Dad's attention. Man I did some dumb stuff."
"Did? Are you sure that's past tense cause I seem to recall on your last time here—"
"Let's not bring that back up." He interrupted embarrassed. And she laughed softly.
"Why do you do that kind of stuff?" she asked him avoiding his eyes as she spoke.
He cleared his throat, "I just wanted him to notice me. To see me, David. Not this army son who didn't exist or this complete failure. It didn't really work all that well though." He said almost as an afterthought.
"Things never work out like you think they will. Things don't change…people don't change." Daisy said in a bitter voice.
"Some do and so don't. And sometimes you hope for the best and it doesn't happen, and it hurts you. Even when you don't want to let it matter enough to hurt you. It still does."
The tears Daisy had been trying to hold back for so long began to flow down her cheeks. David didn't say a word. He didn't murmur meaningless reassurances or say he understood or don't cry. He just wrapped his arms around her and let her cry. As her sobs slowed down he pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.
Daisy tilted her head up to look at him. Her eyes were red and her eyelashes still had traces of tears on them but to David she had never looked more beautiful. He leaned down and kissed her. Daisy was surprised at first but began to kiss him back.
"Daisy! David!" a voice called out from the darkness.
The noise startled them both and they smacked their heads on the table.
Damn, well there's romance for you, David thought.
