"He went to take a shower" Lilo said taking another bite.
Now that she thought about it she had heard water running, but thought it was raining outside, needing to talk to David in private the young woman got up and headed to the bathroom.
As she neared the bathroom door, Nani heard the shower running not bothering to knock she walked right in and shut the door.
"Hey, the bathroom is occupied" David's voice said through the closed curtain.
"It's nothing I haven't seen before" Nani said rolling her eyes.
"What do you want that couldn't wait until I was done?" David said with annoyance in his voice.
"I need to talk to you about Lilo" Nani said.
"That couldn't wait because why?" David questioned.
"Did you tell her anything?" Nani asked getting straight to the point.
"No, I didn't tell her that you kidnapped her if that's what you are hinting at" David huffed.
"For the last time, I didn't kidnap my own little sister" Nani said harshly.
"That's not what the papers are saying" David said.
"What?!" Nani screeched pulling open the grey shower curtain in anger.
"Hey!" David cried out in surprise as he covered himself.
"It's already in the papers? So soon?" Nani asked slightly worried.
"Yeah, front page, the police are calling it a 'family kidnapping' and they are looking at you as a suspect" David said using air quotes when he said the words family kidnapping.
"Has Lilo seen it?" Nani questioned.
"Nope, can you hand me that towel?" David asked as he turned the shower off.
Nani handed him the blue fluffy towel that was on the back of the toilet and David quickly wrapped it around his waist.
"Are you sure? I can't have her asking questions that I don't have the answers to right now" Nani said.
"I'm sure" David said as he stepped out of the tub carefully, "Now can you please leave so I can get dressed?"
Nani huffed before turning on her heel and left the bathroom as she called over her shoulder, "This conversation is not over"
David let out a sigh as he got dressed before leaving the bathroom and saw Nani and Lilo watching t.v.
Nani didn't even look at him when he sat down next to her, she simply got up and moved Lilo to the middle and sat down where Lilo had previously sat.
"Nani? When can we go home?" Lilo asked looking at her older sister.
"It's being remodeled, so we gotta stay here for awhile" Nani lied.
"What about Mr. Bubbles and the Home for Girls? They'll be missing me" Lilo said innocently.
"Lilo, your not going back there" Nani said softly.
"Why?" Lilo questioned a hint of sadness in her voice, sure she loved being back with her sister but she had made friends at the home for girls.
"Well, because you belong home with me" Nani said.
"Does Mr. Bubbles know about this? He said I couldn't come home until you were more
stable" Lilo said.
"Well, he called me saying that I could pick you up" Nani lied giving David a quick glance.
At hearing this David just let out a grunt before getting up and going to the kitchen while Lilo just curled up to Nani without further questioning which the older girl was thankful for.
After awhile of her thoughts wanting to know what her ex was thinking, Nani got up and walked towards the kitchen.
"David? Can we talk?" Nani asked as she walked into the room.
The young man ignored her as he made a fresh pot of coffee.
"Seriously? You're giving me the silent treatment? I expect this from Lilo, but you are nineteen David" Nani said harshly.
David continued to ignore her as he busyied himself around the kitchen.
"You're acting like such a child right now" Nani snapped as she slammed her hand down on the table.
"You know I'm putting my freedom on the line for you right? I'm risking everything for you and you act like everything will be a-okay" David snarled at her.
"Would you relax? Nobody knows about this place and as soon as things cool down, we'll be leaving" Nani said.
"This isn't just going to go away, Lilo is in every newsstory and on every news channel" David reminded her.
"It will go away eventually, they'll find more newsworthy stories to air and print" Nani said waving her hand in a dismissive way.
"Kidnapping stories always stay relevant" David told her.
