Okay I know at the end of this chapter you'll think 'well that didn't last very long' believe me, it gets much worse for the two.
Chapter 6
When Bobby woke up the next morning she did what she did every morning, only instead of getting dressed and walking around the ship she got changed back into her pajamas and climbed back into bed. She booted up her laptop and worked on her story that she was writing.
She lay in her bed, listening to the sound of carriages rolling past on the cobblestone streets, the clopping of horse's hooves. A bird landed on her windowsill and chirped happily. Her door burst open and Riddick walked through...
"Damn!" she exclaimed and deleted what she just wrote. "I can't stop thinking about him." she shut down her laptop and put it away getting out her book and opening it up where her bookmark was. Her door chimed and she sighed, closing the book and getting out of bed. She opened the door and looked at her father. "Yes? Did you want something?"
"You're still in your pajamas? You're usually roaming the ship by now." He said smiling and she sighed.
"Well if I roam the ship I might run into Riddick and do him on the spot. Just like you think I will." She said sarcastically and it was his turn to sigh.
"Roberta I'm doing this for your own good. Riddick is dangerous, he'll hurt you." Derek said.
"He won't hurt me dad, and I am twenty-five years old, not nine. I'm old enough to drink; I'm old enough to make my own decisions. I'm not your little girl anymore. I'm an adult now." She said.
"I'm just protecting you."
"You don't have to protect me! You need to let me go, you need to let me experience things for myself and not hold me hostage for the rest of my life!" she said and closed the door in his face, locking it and turning the chime off. She turned the away message on and flopped back onto her bed, opening her book and strapping her headphones onto her head, turning her Mp3 player on and turning it all the way up.
Derek tried to manually open the door but she had changed the code for the lock, he tried the chime but a small video of her appeared on the screen in her door.
"Hi, I'm not here so come back later. Or if its really important track me down. I'm either in the holo-deck or in the Navigation Bay." The recording of her said then shut off. Derek tried knocking, but she probably had her headphones on because she didn't answer him. He walked away defeated and back to his office. He sat in his chair and put his head in his hands, feeling as though he lost his daughter.
A couple hours later Bobby left her room in jeans and a T-shirt and went to the holo-deck, coding in her favorite scene. The door opened and she stepped out into space, the door closing behind her. She looked down and saw nothing but endless stars. A comet flew past and she smiled.
Fuck it. He wasn't doing to take orders from an over protective dick father. Riddick walked down the hall to Bobby's room and pressed the door chime, getting the same message that Derek did. He tried the holo-deck first and opened the door, seeing space. He stepped into it and removed his goggles. A comet flew past him and he reached out a hand, he could almost feel the ice of the tail.
"What are you doing here?" he heard and turned around seeing Bobby come out from behind small Jupiter, her fingers running along the rings.
"This is where your away message said to look if it was important." Riddick said.
"Okay. So what was so important that you absolutely had to find me?" she asked and he advanced on her, he stopped so he was right in front of her and put his hands on her arms.
"I wanted to tell you something."
"What?"
"This." Riddick said and he kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back. When they broke apart they were both smiling. "I don't care if I go back to Butcher Bay, well I care, but I can be sneaky about this if you can."
"I'll try my damndest." Bobby said and he kissed her forehead, putting his arms around her waist and holding her tight against him.
