Chapter 17

--One Week Later--

I woke up TONS of pain. I moaned and turned over. I couldn't get back to sleep because of the pain ripping thru my stomach. "Dave?" He was still asleep beside me, the bastard. I shoved his huge shoulder, "Davie?" "Hmm?" "Wake up." "What for?" "Get me some water and some pamprin from my bathroom kit." Dave opened one of his eyes, "Pamprin?" I nodded while wincing. He stared at me and didn't move, "Are you okay Babe?"
I just glared at him, "DO I LOOK OKAY?!" Dave scooted away, "Okay. Going to get Pamprin and water." A few minutes later he came back in with the items I requested. After I took them Dave got the courage to talk to me again. "Pamprin??" I took a deep breath, trying to calm down. "Gimme the bottle and I'll read it to ya." He gave me the bottle, "Maximum strength, multi-symptom Pamprin, menstrual relief. Relieves Headache, Backache, Irritability, Water Weight Gain, Cramps and Tension. That answer your question?"
Dave sighed, "Damn." I rolled my eyes, "Oh yea... you have a HUGE reason to say shit. If ANYONE should be cussing right now... it should be ME!" Dave chuckled, "Come here Babe. Just lay down and try to get back to sleep." I sighed, "Do you have any idea how impossible that's going to be?" He shook his head no, "Nope. But I won't sleep until you do. If I DO fall asleep, wake me up, 'kay?" I nodded and cuddled into Dave's chest.
An hour later we woke up to Paul shoutin' at us. "Wake up you lazy asses!" I opened my eyes and although I didn't have any cramps at the moment it probably wasn't the best of times to yell at me. I just glared at Paul, I was about to open my mouth but Dave rubbed my back trying to soothe me. "Babe... he doesn't know. Don't rip his head off."
I just glared at Paul, and if looks could kill Paul would be on the floor motionless. "I don't know what?" Dave sighed, "Paul, don't give her any shit. Is that too hard for you to understand?" "And since WHEN do you tell me what to do?!" Dave laughed, "Dude... I'm the only one standing in the way of your balls getting chopped off. You SHOULD be thanking me." "My balls getting chopped..... OH. Shit. Already!?"
I continued to glare at Paul, "YES ALREADY! God, you'd think that YOU went thru all this pain each month." Paul sighed, "Sorry Rea. I didn't mean anything by it. I'll warn the others not to cross you." I nodded, "Thanks Paulie. I'm gonna get somethin' to eat. You want anything Snuggle Bear?" At that name Paul broke out a huge grin. "Snuggle Bear?" Dave smiled, "I wouldn't make fun of that if I were you Paul." "And WHY NOT?" Dave smiled again, "Because I could kick your ass... but right now I think Rea would enjoy it more, wouldn't you Babe?"
I just stared at Paul, "Were you making fun of what I call Dave?" Paul gulped and nodded meekly. "That's what I thought. Don't do it again... otherwise I really WILL cut your balls off." Paul opened his mouth but I interrupted him, "And Steph wouldn't mind. I've already cleared it with her." Paul turned to Dave shocked, "Steph just signed my death certificate, didn't she?" Dave nodded, "But don't worry. Just try not to piss her off." "Easier said then done."
Dave and I left to go to the kitchen and make some breakfast. "What do you want to eat Snuggle Bear?" Dave sighed, "Babe... not that I don't love the name you gave me. Do you have to say it in front of the guys??" I smiled, "Yes. Besides... my Snuggle Bear could kick the tar out of them if they made fun of him." Dave just shook his head, "What are you eating Babe?" I sighed, "I don't know. I want waffles. But I'd pretty much eat anything right now." Dave smiled, "You want me to help make waffles?" I smiled sweetly and nodded, "If you want to help, feel free."

--Later That Day--

"So I hear you almost killed Paul this morning?" I smiled at Randy, "Yes. You don't piss off a woman when she's snuggling with her man." Randy got that stupid smirk on his face, "Speaking of that. Where's Snuggle Bear right now?" I looked at Randy evilly, "You make fun of Dave and I'll kill you." "YOU'LL kill ME?! How?" I smiled, "Same way I'd kill Paul. Cut your balls off, you'd die of not getting any." Randy's eyes got big, "You wouldn't." I smiled, "Oh... but I WOULD. And I don't have to get permission from anyone seeing as how you're womanless right now."
Randy sighed, "I thought you were going to help me with that Rea." I smiled, "Well... you thought wrong. You met my cousin... why you didn't ask her out I don't know." "You wanted me to ask your COUSIN out?" I just glared at Randy, "And WHAT is wrong with Sarah?" Randy gulped, "Um... nothing. She's just not my type is all." I rolled my eyes, "Translation. She wouldn't open her legs for you on the first date. At least you figured out THAT much before being a dick and asking her out."
"It's not my fault I need sex." I rolled my eyes, "Oh yes... that's JUST what Dave tells me to get me into bed with him." I shook my head in disgust, "And you wonder WHY you don't have a woman." Randy grimaced, "I don't want to hear about you and Dave having sex." I smiled evilly, "But it's SO good Randy. Dave's SO big, in more ways then one." Randy just shook his head and left the room.
Ric came in, "What'd you do to Randy?" I smiled meekly, "Oh nothing much. I just started to talk to him about how great Dave is in bed. After I got two sentences out he just up and left. You wouldn't know why, would you Rickers?" Ric laughed, "You're too much Angel. Just TOO much." I smiled sweetly, "But I thought that's what everyone liked about me?" Dave came up behind me and grabbed my waist and I squealed. "I like you for MANY reasons." I smiled and laid my head against his chest, "Really now?? What are they?"
Dave smiled, "I'd list them, but Ric doesn't need or want to hear them." I smiled up at Dave, "I was kidding babe." "I wasn't." Ric laughed, "Should I leave?" I shook my head no, "Nope. You were here before Dave. If ANYONE should leave it should be him, but he's not going anywhere." Ric raised an eyebrow, "Not going anywhere, 'eh?" I nodded, "Yep. He's staying right where he is." Dave rolled his eyes, "Yea. Okay Rea."
"See... he knows I have all the power in the relationship." Randy had just came into the room and when he heard me say that he wined, "Aww Man. I should have just stayed away from you freaks. I don't want to know about who has the power." Ric laughed, "Randy... she was joking. It's obvious Dave would overpower her." Dave shook his head, "I dunno. She IS a little vixen in bed." I smiled, "I'm a little vixen!?" Randy looked at me oddly, "You WANT to be!?" I nodded, "Of course. I LOVE being Dave's little vixen." Randy looked disturbed. "What Randall?" Randy shook his head, "It's just I don't think of you as a vixen... nor did I WANT to think of you as a vixen.. Man. That's just WRONG."
I just rolled my eyes, "Whatever Randall. Just pretend that was never said in your little world, okay?" Randy nodded, "Yea... THAT'S what I'll do!" I just shook my head in disgust, "And to think we're the same damn age. Sometimes he acts 16. Hell... my 16 year old cousin acts more mature then Randy does. Now THAT'S pathetic!" Ric laughed, "Whatever you say Angel, Whatever you say." I nodded, "It's ALWAYS whatever I say, you should know that by now Rickers."
