After that night, Desmond didn't get hurt badly but his back was mostly hurting, Though he was fine. Meeting Mickie'a suitor Anthony Scarrow wasn't a great meeting, Scarrow really wants to marry Mickie and will do anything to get her.
It was the next morning as Desmond woke up, He had bandages and was resting on his bed as He got and stretched out and holded his head.
Desmond: Ahhh, Geez my back. . . .
He cringed and looked at himself in the mirror, Until he saw something next to him which was a Glass of water and a sandwich. Crowe touched the sandwich which was still hot as Desmond had a small smile knowing it was Mickie.
( She's really sweet. . .)
Crowe was smiling to himself for some reason while starring at the sandwich until someone opened the door as He saw it was Mickie.
Mickie: Your finally awake. Are you okay?
She quickly walked towards him, By the look on her face She was really concerned about him. Mickie sat next to him as Desmond looked at her and smiled a little.
Desmond: I'm alright, Just my back hurts.
Mickie: I understand, Do you need anything maybe?
Desmond: No, Not really.
Mickie removed a bandage and looked at his bruise, Desmond couldn't help but smile at her of how she takes care of him, It reminds him of Trish alot whenever he gets hurt.
Mickie: I think you will be okay. . . *Sighs* Try not to be careless Desmond.
Desmond: I can't really promise anything though.
Mickie: You really scared me there to be honest.
Desmond: Aww don't worry too much Mickie. I'm been through this. . . Is He done with you now though?
Mickie: I'm not really sure, I hope he doesn't come after me.
Desmond: If he does, I won't hesitate to break his bones.
He said in a protective way as Mickie couldn't help but smile at him.
Mickie: Thank you, I'm glad your by my side.
Desmond: Always.
Mickie: Eat your sandwich now, I'll go downstairs real quick.
Desmond: Okay, One last question though Mickie. . . How is your father?
Mickie: He's okay, why?
Desmond: Nothing, Just wondering.
James shook her head and got up as Desmond was looking at her.
( Okay, I don't know why I keep looking at her)
He ignored his thought and got up stretching out a little. Meanwhile Mickie was walking while fixing her hair until She saw her father standing and walking around. He noticed her as He walked towards her.
Tony: Mickie, Are you okay?
Mickie: Yeah I'm okay. Why?
Tony: . . . . Nothing, I'm just. . . . Really sorry about last night.
She was surprised that her father was apologising to her as She fixed her hair and looked at him.
Mickie: Why apologising Father? You done nothing wrong.
Tony: No, I have too. You had to see that argument with Anthony especially the things he said to you, Not to mention Because of him, Desmond got hurt. . .
Mickie was silent as Tony continued speaking.
Tony: He's a good man, He protected everyone including me and you. However I didn't wanna put him into danger considering how Anthony is like.
Mickie looked at her father as Tony crossed his arms as Mickie spoke.
Mickie: Dont apologie Father, Desmond did everything to protect us, I even apologised to him but he said he doesn't mind nor care, He just wanted to protect us and I know he isn't mad at you at all. And Yes I was scared what happened with Anthony. But I was mostly worried about You and Desmond.
Tony smiled a little as Mickie smiled at him back.
Tony: Okay. . . I'm glad. How is he?
Mickie: He's okay, He is awake actually.
Tony: Okay, Thats good to hear. Thank you also Mickie.
The one who was threatening and powerful is a bit soft now of the help of Desmond. Mickie smiled and hugged her father, It surprised Tony alot but he hugged her back as Mickie was feeling relieved and wasn't worried about Anthony anymore.
Mickie: I should be thanking you.
Tony: Right. . *Breaks the hug* I won't let that man get near you two.
Mickie: Thank you again Father.
He nodded as Mickie smiled and walked away, Tony was looking until he remembered something and quickly followed Mickie.
Tony: Wait, Mickie. Is Desmond busy right now??
Mickie: Hmm? I'll actually go check right now.
She walked towards the bedroom as Tony was standing and waiting. James opened the door and the first thing she saw was. . . Desmond. .
Desmond was dancing as Mickie gave a stare to him as She looked at her father.
Mickie: He. . . . . Isn't busy actually.
Tony: Okay, Could I talk to him?
Mickie looked at Desmond who was still dancing as She thought to herself.
( So much for your back hurting )
Mickie: Of course. . *Clears throat and smiles* Desmond, Dear.
Desmond: *Jumps and stares* Y-Yes, My love???
( Oh gosh, I hope she didn't see me. )
Mickie blushed as Tony has a small smile on his face and walked inside the room as Desmond fixed his hair and shirt.
Desmond: Greetings, Father. How. .are you?
Tony: I'm fine Crowe, But how are you mostly?
Desmond: I'm alright, Just my back hurts but nothing to worry.
Tony: I'm really sorry for putting you in that situation Desmond, Not to mention that you got hurt.
Desmond: Oh no no no, Why are you apologising? Look, I didn't like how that punching bag was threatening you and all. So I deserved to break his nose.
Tony: *Chuckles* I know that, But I didn't wanna get you involved in it.
Desmond: There is nothing to worry about. I did everything to protect you and Mickie. .
Tony: I'm really thankful your help Desmond. . . Mickie, Mind if you could let me and Desmond talk?
Mickie: Oh, okay. Of course.
Mickie walked away and closed the door as Tony looked and touched Desmond's shoulder.
Tony: I want to talk about you and Mickie's relationship with you.
Desmond gulped as He looked a little nervous but kept a straight face.
Desmond: Yes?
Tony: So, I would like to meet your parents tomorrow actually to talk about this relationship with you and Mickie.
Desmond: My parents, You want to talk to them?
Tony: Yes and I really have to settle it.
Desmond remembered what Trish said to him about her setting up fake parents as Desmond thought to himself.
( I Love Trish But she sometimes is crazy haha)
Desmond: O-Okay. I'll talk to them about it.
Tony: Thank you Desmond, Please try and call them over tomorrow.
Desmond nodded as Tony smiled and walked away, He told Desmond to first take care of himself as Crowe holded his head.
( Ohhh Boy, Now I wonder whats gonna happen next )
