Love Game 3
Divinity
Chapter One
The "Interview"
Could it be possible that I'm dreaming? Is everything in my life perfect now? I'm back in regular school, still have Daviid, my baby is as healthy as ever, Piper and Landon seem happy, and Hector...oh. Hector. I guess everything isn't perfect. He doesn't go to the same school so I don't see him during the week and with his new job, I don't see him much on the weekends either. He usually comes around every two months. I miss him like crazy. I wonder why he decided to stay at his other school. Maybe he felt awkward around me since I'm married now and can't have a secret romance anymore. I looked down at the ring that felt heavy on my left hand.
"Are you ok, babe?" Daviid asked in a concerned voice. I turned my head to look at him. His eyes showed the same worry his voice showed. He looked so angelic. The way he stood in the parking lot of the school, the light from the sun flashed on the left side of his face and twinkled in his eye. I couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" I answered back in a perky, fake voice that he didn't believe for a second.
"Because I know you well enough to know the different faces you make. You just had your depressed face on. I know there's something bothering you." Damn he's good. I didn't answer him. I wanted to smile, but I knew I was caught, so I didn't bother. He got closer to me and placed both of his palms on the sides of my face. The softness and warmth of his hands caused me to relax. I looked back up into his worried eyes.
"Please, tell me," he begged. I hated it when he made the puppy dog face. He knew I couldn't resist doing anything he wanted when he made that face.
"I just...miss Hector," I answered slowly. He dropped his hands. When I mentioned his name, his expression changed to the same expression I had. I guess they had gotten pretty close, too. After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke.
"Me, too." With his right hand, he lifted my left hand up and he kissed the top of my hand and then held it to his chest so I could feel his heart beat.
"I'm just glad to still have you here. I can't imagine a day without seeing my beautiful wife." Wife. The word warmed my heart. And from what I felt on my hand, saying the word "wife" made his heart race just as mine did. So I lifted his hand, kissed it, and then placed it on my heart.
"And I can't imagine going a day without my wonderful husband in it," I whispered trying to hold in soft sobs. Saying "husband" also made my heart race, and I know he felt it. He smiled wide and pulled my face to his. Our lips crashed with a sudden fiery passion that made me feel like I was floating. Nothing else mattered at this very moment. Any issues that we might have had in the past, any issues we will have in the future, even the fact that Hector wasn't here at the moment didn't seem to matter. The only thing I cared about at this very second, besides my own child, is this beautifully sculpted angel that I can now call my husband.
He slowly pulled his face only inches away from mine and we both breathed slowly but heavily. I could feel the warm pressure of his breath crashing into my face, as well as he could feel mine. I would've imagined his breath smelling like fresh peppermint, but we were both breathing from our mouths, so no scents were inhaled through our noses.
I didn't think anything could spoil this picture perfect moment...I was wrong. Aside from the constant "awe's" that surrounding students kept making, I guess we're still the most popular couple in school, the school bell rang. The crowd slowly started to depart. I looked up to find Daviid's eyes looking directly into mine.
"Time for class, my dear," he said softly with a slight smile. I didn't want to move. I felt as if my feet were glued to the black pavement. This moment was too perfect. I wouldn't mind standing here for a while, just him and I, with our lips pressed together. But I knew I couldn't. It was our senior year and I didn't want to get Daviid, myself, or any of the surrounding students watching us in any trouble.
"Ok," I said in a soft voice. With his left hand, he grabbed my right hand and intertwined his fingers with mine. Then we headed for the building, still with an audience behind us.
First period was a drag. The teacher had us writing definitions from the back of the English book, as if we were actually going to use the word "honorificabilitudinitatibus" ever in our lifetime. As I continued to write definitions, I felt tapping on my left shoulder. I put my pencil down and turned around.
"Yes?" I asked politely. Staring at me with huge smiles were two girls. One behind me and one to her left in the next individual desk. The girl behind me started talking.
"Ok so, umm, I know you don't know me. My name is Annabeth Reed and this is my best friend Jessica Lane. We've had English with you since, like, sophomore year," she said kinda jumpy and nervous like. I couldn't help but giggle.
"Nice to meet you girls," I said in return. I noticed that both of their legs were bouncing around underneath their desks like crazy. It looked like they really had to pee or something. I guess they were excited or nervous.
"Ok, so umm, do you mind if we ask you a few questions?" Annabeth asked. What am I? A celebrity? Sometimes it feels that way at this school.
"Of course," I said with a smile. They both reached into their bags and pulled out a little hand-size notepad each. My little paparazzi. I giggled again. Annabeth then flipped the cover over then read the first question.
"So how and when did you and Daviid meet?" She asked anxiously while biting her bottom lip. Once I started speaking, Jessica began writing in her notepad. I guess Annabeth's notepad holds the questions and Jessica's notepad is for writing down my answers to the questions.
"We first met two years ago, here, when we were sophomores. I was new here and he befriended me quickly," I answered. Annabeth smiled big while flipping the page.
"And when did you finally get together?" She asked.
"Later on that same day." I noticed more surrounding students started eavesdropping on the "interview". She flipped the page again.
"When did you first realize you were pregnant and what was your reaction? If you don't mind me asking?"
"A couple of months later. Maybe four? Five? I'm not too sure. I was pretty scared, though. So was Daviid. I took a pregnancy test and once I read that it was positive, I broke down. Daviid was there to comfort me, like he always has been and always will be, even though I could tell from the moment I said the test came out positive he was just as scared as I was. Even though no tears came out at that moment like mine were, his eyes were still all watery and glassy. So I knew he was scared, too."
I looked at Jessica and she was rushing and flipping pages to try and write down word for word of what I was saying.
"You got it all?" I asked politely.
"Yeah I got it. Please continue," she insisted. At this point, most heads, if not all heads, were on me. Why was everyone so interested in Daviid and I's life?
"The next nine months after you got pregnant, were they rough to go through?" She asked.
"It was actually seven months. I had my baby two months early. But yes, the next seven months were insane. Lots and lots of drama."
"Can you describe some of that drama and how you felt?" I had to think for a second. I really didn't feel like answering all these questions. Especially when everyone is listening. The teacher stood up and walked towards us.
"Are you sure this is an appropriate conversation ladies? This is a bit personal," Mr. Simmons asked.
"Oh, sorry Sir," Annabeth said in a low, sad voice.
"Oh no, it's ok Sir. I don't mind. This is actually the first time telling my boy-," I cleared my throat, "Husband and I's story. I hear a lot of people are curious," I assured him. I almost said boyfriend. It seemed kind of weird saying that I was married. Especially saying it to my teacher. But, hey, why hide the truth? He nodded and sat back down.
"Well there was a lot of drama with..." I cleared my throat again "Jaelynn. She had hit me in the stomach a couple of times while I was pregnant." Just after that sentence, there was a lot of "gasps". I continued.
"The baby was fine, though. She also made my friend Landon cheat on his girlfriend Piper-"
"You're best friend," some random girl next to me interrupted.
"Yes," I continued, "And she also made me think Daviid was cheating on me with her." More "gasps" filled the room.
"Yeah, I know. It was a rough time for me. There's a lot more drama that I don't think is appropriate to talk about, but those seven months were very hard for me to go through. But also, there were a lot of good things. Getting pregnant brought Daviid and I even closer together, and our parents bought him and I the most gorgeous house. We were actually in the backyard just about to get in the hot tub when he got down on his knees and proposed." The room was now filled with "awe's".
"It was so beautiful. After he said the words 'Will you marry me', I covered my mouth in shock. I didn't know what to say. I was so scared and excited and eccentric and terrified all at the same time. I was speechless. The only noises I could hear were the jets in the hot tub and the sound of my heart pounding against my chest. But I had to make a decision, not that it was hard to find the answer. So once I caught my breath, I finally said yes." Everyone seemed fascinated by our story.
Suddenly the bell rang, I put my paper and pencil in my backpack, and I headed for the door. Right before I could walk out, Annabeth called to me.
"Divinity! One last question?" She pleaded.
"Sure," I answered without moving.
"How is you and Daviid's relationship to this day?"
"Stronger than ever..." I said with a smile. She and some others smiled back. I waved then turned my back to them and headed for second period. Hopefully there will be no more interviews. I giggled at the thought that I just had my first interview as if I were a celebrity. I wonder how long it will take for the rest of the school to hear about it. Only time will tell.
"Are you ok, babe?" Daviid asked in a concerned voice. I turned my head to look at him. His eyes showed the same worry his voice showed. He looked so angelic. The way he stood in the parking lot of the school, the light from the sun flashed on the left side of his face and twinkled in his eye. I couldn't help but smile.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" I answered back in a perky, fake voice that he didn't believe for a second.
"Because I know you well enough to know the different faces you make. You just had your depressed face on. I know there's something bothering you." Damn he's good. I didn't answer him. I wanted to smile, but I knew I was caught, so I didn't bother. He got closer to me and placed both of his palms on the sides of my face. The softness and warmth of his hands caused me to relax. I looked back up into his worried eyes.

Chapter 2
Call
I was the first one to walk into my second period. Art class was really easy for me. Drawing was simple for me. I love drawing portraits of people. People make drawing so much harder than it really is. All you do is draw what you see. And if your drawing doesn't look the same as whatever your drawing, then you fix it to where it does. Simple as that. I was actually drawing a picture of my little family. Last month, Daviid, my baby, and I went and took some family portraits. They came out great, so I decided to draw one. Daviid doesn't know about it yet, though. So I can't work on it in class since I have this class with him.
I sat and watched numerous random faces walk through the door, just waiting to see my husbands face walk through, smile his angelic smile, and model walk towards me like he always does. It's still hard believing someone as perfect as him would be mine. All mine.
Just as I predicted, he walked in, smiled at me, and strutted to sit next to me.
"Hey baby," he said once he reached me. He kissed my cheek, then went around me and sat in the empty chair to my left. He laid right arm on the back of my chair as I leaned over and pressed my lips to his. After about three seconds, I pulled away.
"Hi," I said with a smirk. He pecked my lips again, then turned his body to where he was facing the table in front of us, but left his arm around my chair. I laid my head on his shoulder and exhaled the deep breath I had just taken in.
"How was first period?" He asked. I tried to think of the right word to describe the right word to fit my experience in first period.
"Interesting," is what I came up with.
"Really? How so?"
"I was interviewed," I said with a giggle. He also giggled.
"What?"
"Yeah, I was interviewed. These two girls wanted to know our story and my feelings about our first year together." His eyes narrowed.
"Why would they want to know that?"
"Have you not noticed we're the 'Brad and Angelina' of this school? We're the 'IT' couple and everyone wants to know about it," I explained. He chuckled.
"Was it weird?" He asked.
"Was what weird?"
"Being interviewed." For a second, I thought he was asking if our first year was weird. The word 'weird' wouldn't even begin to sum up our first year together.
"Oh," I chuckled, "Yeah, it was. I felt like a celebrity or something. Everyone in the class listened as I spoke. One of the girls who asked for the interview was writing down everything I said. It was so weird, but cute in some odd way," I explained. He laughed twice kind of loudly.
"That does seem interesting," he said with a chuckle.
"Told you so," I said looking up at him with a half smile. He stared into my eyes for a few seconds, then moved his face closer to mine and kissed me softly.
That class ended quickly, as well as the next few periods. Lunch came fast. I finally got to see Daviid again. I only had second, fourth, and sixth period with him. Sixth is lunch. I'd go crazy if I didn't have him for lunch, too. After lunch, we have seventh and eighth block off, so we could go pick up little Daviid from daycare. We really didn't have to stay at school for lunch, but we usually do so we could spend time with Piper and Landon. I walked into the cafeteria and saw him sitting in out usual center room circle table. I smiled and walked towards him. Once I reached his sight, he stood up and walked to me with open arms. I took in his warm embrace and let out a deep sigh as he squeezed me tightly. I pulled my face away from his shoulder and pressed my lips to his. After a few seconds of being on cloud nine, we pulled away and smiled at each other, as if just seeing each other for the first time. From the corner of our eyes, we noticed most of the other students around us were staring at us. This whole 'Brad and Angelina' thing is getting pretty out of control. We are not celebrities, we're students. Just like everyone else. So I think we deserve some privacy.
"Daviid, this is getting ridiculous," I whispered.
"What is?"
"Everyone staring at us. It's awkward and annoying. I feel like we have no privacy at all."
"Well it must be weird for them seeing a happily married teen couple in high school that have a baby and who have been through so much. I'm pretty sure everyone now knows our story since you did that 'interview'," he replied. I felt sick in my stomach. How could I have been so stupid. Now we really won't have any privacy.
