4. Don't Wanna Wake Up From You.
"David."
"Da vid." Mary-Margaret sang waving a hand in front of her date's eyes until he blinked back and smiled.
"Oh hey."
"Thought I'd lost you for a minute there."
"Me?" Never." He swears taking her hand for the first time in several hours and lacing it between his. A bold but, sweet move.
"Where did you go?" She asks inquisitively humour rich in every decibel.
"I don't know. Somewhere where you were."
"Good answer."
"Anyway what were you saying before you nearly lost me?"
"Are you ready to go? I thought maybe we could take that walk…. to the Toll Bridge."
"Yeah, sure." They get up simultaneously tuck their chairs in and David says "After you." Letting her go ahead of himself.
"Why, thank you kind sir."
"You two kids have fun." Granny says to their shadows. They have already gone lost in each other.
…..
"It's so quiet out here." Mary-Margaret says minutes later, feeling the stillness in the air.
She's walking lazily beside him as the sun shines down on them. The heat is welcome on her skin as she nestles her hand in his loose one.
"This is nice, just walking."
"Yeah, it is." David says effortlessly.
Several more steps are taken before he makes them stop and turns to her.
"Mary-Margaret, what I wanted to say this morning… I don't regret it. I wished I'd had a little more time to get to know you like this…. but, I don't regret… I can't regret you."
"David…." She tries.
"No, let me finish. I want to be with you. Call, date, text maybe even fight and make up with you. I want us to be an us."
After a moment she ponders and smiles.
"Here." She passes a small folded slip of paper to him.
"What's this?"
"My number."
"Well since we're doing this. "Your cell phone please?" He asks chivalrously.
Mary-Margaret obliges with a smirk.
It takes him seconds to punch in his digits under "D" in her contacts and hand it back to her.
They resume walking Mary-Margaret resting her head lightly on his shoulder while he leisurely keeps in time with her steps.
"I have to go." The brunette says with a sigh. "I have tests to grade and an art project to plan. All by Monday."
"Lucky kids." He laughs as she places a quick kiss on his cheek and dashes ahead of him before she can change her mind.
"Bye. I'm sorry! I'll … Bye." She blows him an apologetic kiss as she walks swiftly.
Ha. He couldn't believe it. Before he could even say goodbye his girlfriend was gone disappeared over the bridge.
Then his cell buzzed and a unexpected but familiar number flashed and for the tenth time in two days David Nolan beamed.
A text message it read:
David today was perfect. I'll be done in a few hours. Phone date?

A few blocks away his girlfriend's phone buzzed.
David:
Phew… That's a relief.
Oh yes!
She giggled as she walked to her apartment phone in hand.
The phone buzzed again.
P.S. Mom's onto us.

…
Approximately four hours later all the marking is done and the project for Monday is decided. Victorious Mary-Margaret collapses on the spare bed reaches for the phone and dials.
"Hey you. Mission Accomplished?"
"Mission Accomplished but, Blanchard down! So very down…."
"You're so cute when you're tired out." David replies affectionately.
"I'm glad my exhaustion amuses you Charming." She jokes.
"Oh it doesn't. It really doesn't."
"Good!"
"David. I'm so sorry I abandoned you earlier." Mary-Margaret says with apologetic sincerity and conviction.
"I understand."
"I didn't want to go."
"I know, Mary-Margaret. I know."
"God, I miss you. Is that crazy?" Mary-Margaret sighs.
"Guess that makes me crazy too." He says by his bedroom window.
The conversation goes on for another hour before tiredness overcomes the teacher.
"Mary-Margaret?"
"Y… yes." She gives a long half-yawn.
"Go to sleep I'll see you tomorrow."
"You sure?"
"Go to sleep sweetheart." He says in a heavenly tone that sends out warmth.
"Mmm. Ok… Goodnight David."
"Goodnight Mary-Margaret."
She hangs up puts the phone in the receiver and pulls back the covers of the spare-bed and slips herself in them. She doesn't even change just allows herself to fall into a lovely dream. Although, it's even lovelier when she encounters a certain Vet-Tech.
In her sleep. Mary-Margaret smiles.
Hi, I'm sorry it's short again I just wanted a smooth transition from the last chapter to this one. Slow and romantic. But, I promise I'll have a little time jump and make it longer so that David and Mary-Margaret get some proper one to one time. This title is taken from Beyonce's "Sweet Dreams"
