They Call Him Superman

Chapter Ten: The House

"So, we will go back to the trailer, scoop up Kal-"

"So, I'm seriously going to come live with you?" I cut him off because I needed to make sure. I didn't want him to feel like I was just going to be on top of him in his house.

"I promise you, I wouldn't have said anything if I didn't want you staying with me."

"Why not put me up in a hotel instead?"

"Then how am I going to see you in the morning?"

I felt the heat rush up my neck and my body shivered. I mean I had seen him naked already, surely he couldn't surprise me any further.

"Fine, but you will let me chip in the first pack check I get," I started, when he tried to cut me off I cover his mouth with my hand, "I know you are trying to fix things and make things right, but I'll feel worse if I can't bring in anything to help out."

I slowly removed my hand, but took it in his and smiled softly at me, "I don't understand how someone could argue with being pampered."

I gave him a playful glare, "I've been my only priority, aside from Diesel of course. I haven't had anyone taking care of me in almost ten years. I am not lazy, I don't get my hair done, nor my nails like some of the other Hollywood wives of superstars. I provide for myself. Now, you will take my money and not argue with me about it."

He laughed and shook his head glancing out the window before looking at me again, "You really are something else, you know that?"

"Trust me, my parents even thought I was an alien when they raised me. I'm a unknown species."

He laughed again, this time I joined him. I noticed we were pulling up to the Studio again, the doors opened without hesitation however. We pulled up to Henry's trailer and I cuddled with Diesel while he hopped out to get Kal.

I heard him before I saw him, I giggled when I saw Diesels tail swish. It was going to be interesting to see how they would interact. Kal pounced into the car, Diesel sat up on his hindlegs ready to box him to calm him down. Henry soon climbed in as well closing the door. Kal attacked him with kisses and Henry chuckled patting him on his butt.

"Yes Kal we are going home, relax bud."

Diesel sat back normal in my lap, the movement caught Kal's attention. He slowly approached Diesel. This caught mine and Henry's attention, we watched them closely. Kal stretched his neck to smell Diesel. Diesel did the same. He leaned to far and placed a paw on top of Kals head who froze his spot.

Diesel then licked his muzzle affectionately and I couldn't help the awe that escaped my lips as it was so cute. I could tell Diesel missed his old companion. It was a heartwarming moment.

I looked up to Henry and he reached out grabbing my hand slowly lacing our fingers together. I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach at the gesture. As if Diesel and Kal were melting my heart already, Henry's gesture was enough to make it explode. I found myself grinning.

"Ready to go home, now?"

"Yes, please. As much as I slept today I definitely feel like I can sleep more. I think it was the rush of emotions with the reunion."

He grinned, "Of course, but you aren't allowed to sleep ill you've eaten something."

I blushed softly, of course his mention of food made me remember how hungry I was.

"Fair enough."

"I'm thing something simple tonight."

"Pasta?"

"I was gonna say pizza," he said looking at me, I giggled softly.

"I'm not picky, so whatever you want to eat."

"It's my treat it's up to you."

"Honestly, you said pizza and my stomach is agreeing," I gestured to the loud noises coming from my stomach. He laughed.

"Alright," he pulled out his phone, "Any toppings?"

"I will love you forever if you get Veggie Pizza," I groaned longingly my mouth already watering as my memory reminded me of the smell and taste of veggie pizza.

"If you continue to make sounds like that, I'll make sure to order pizza more often."

I knew my cheeks were a deep red from the comment, I looked down hiding my blush chuckling. Henry made the call for the pizza.

"How far away do you live from the studio?" I asked him, waiting till after he was done as to not be rude or interrupt. 

"I-uh, I live about a half hour away, if you miss traffic of course. Somedays I jog in because it sure as hell beats sitting in the car in traffic."

I felt my eyes widen, that means the days I work I'll have to jog with him, I might even have to leave earlier because I don't think I could jog without a least several breaks.

"Right, well I know that I'll defiantly be in more shape living with you."

He laughed, "There is always my car, just because I run doesn't mean you have to."

"Yes, but on the other hand, if I continue down my path, I'll have cankles before I scoop up a eligble bachelor."

He laughed again reaching over and lifting up one of my legs, taking me by surprise. I felt heat pool in my stomach. He rubbed his hand down my shin and rubbed my ankle.

"Cankles? You? The way you work? I doubt it," he said looking up at me his thumb rubbing over my ankle again.

I found myself gapping like a fish out of water, I didn't realize my breathing had deepened slightly. I felt myself getting lost into his eyes once more. I wanted nothing more than to kiss the man, but not only were we not alone in the car (because of the driver) but we also had two animals in between us.

I bite my lip instead letting that image run through my head. It didn't help none when he lifted my leg higher, me thanking my younger self for forcing myself to remain flexible, and had to bit back the moan that tried to escape when he placed a fierce fiery kiss on my ankle.

"If that's how you are gonna react to my insecurities, I might have to tell you a few more."

I saw him flash me a wicked grin, "I'd be more than happy to indulge in the other insecurities you have."

"We have arrived Mr. Cavill," the driver spoke up, I nearly jumped somehow forgetting he was there. I blushed deeply as I looked up and nearly went into shock.

"This is not a house, Henry."

"I may have understated-"

"You think?!" I exclaimed, "I don't think I'll be able to leave..."

"You haven't even been inside yet," he laughed as he got out and Kal followed him. I also got out holding Diesel close to me.

"You say that like going inside it will be a wreck or a frat house with other men walking around in undies."

He looked at me with a raised brow, "Undies?"

"You know what I meant."

The driver popped open the trunk and due to me and Henry being busy talking he unloaded himself, sneakily like he was trying to avoid us helping him again.

"You ready for a tour?" 

"Of course! Lead the way Superman!"

He chuckled before walking to the front door and unlocking it, he held the door open for me which I walked through and noticed him disabling the alarm. I looked away so he wouldn't thinking I was prying and felt my eyes widen as I saw what was before me.

"This is a mansion."

"A mini mansion."

"Still a mansion. Look at it through my eyes, my apartment compared to this."

He turned around and stood beside me. He looked around and shrugged, "I think I would understand it better if I was in shoes." 

I smiled and placed Diesel down walking to each area I stated, "This foyer is the size of my old apartment. This wall my kitchen. my bed would be where the stairs are-"

"Wow..."

I looked at him and it finally clicked for him, "You're right, this place is huge."

"In all fairness, I feel like you kind of need the space."

"You calling me fat?"

"No, I'm calling you buff, and tall."

"You think I'm buff?"

"You would have had a migraine side stepping into my bathroom everyday. That's how thick your arms are. You're head would hit the shower ceiling."

"I think you are just short."

I crossed my arms pouting, "Just so you know I am average."

"So, short."

"You sound just like my dad," I grumbled making him laugh as he walked up to me.

"You are so cut when your mad," he said as lifted my chin to look up at him. I felt my face flush.

"Yeah?" I whispered once again caught up in this gorgeous mans eyes.

"Yeah."

He slowly leaned down to capture my lips with his, but there was a bell sound that startled me from the sharp volume it was.

"Mr. Cavill, ehm sir? I have the pizza you ordered."

It was a nervous teenage boy, I laughed at his tone. He literally was what I felt like when I met Henry that first day. I somehow on the outside kept my cool, but on the inside I nearly lost it.

"I'll go grab dinner, make yourself comfortable."

I saluted him watching him as he walked back out. I found myself grinned and covering my cheeks wondering how in the hell I was going to explain this to my parents. I was thinking ahead of myself. Henry and I may have gotten hot heavy here and there, but nothing was talked about yet. I didn't even know if he was looking for something serious or if this is way of having an easy lay. I shook my head not trying to draw that nasty conclusion for him as he is a nice man. 

I also don't want to make assumptions as I know very little about him. I didn't realize I began to explore on my own until I came out of my thoughts and found myself in the living room. He had a huge tv hanging on the wall, the couch was L shaped and inviting. 

I still can't believe how big this place was. I feel like I might need to draw myself up a map so I wouldn't get lost....only because I wouldn't be able to find my way through here with Google maps. I also needed to learn which rooms I would be able to go in and which ones he wished to keep private. I may have been invited to live here, but that didn't mean I was going to be snooping into his personal things.

"Harper?" 

I spun around hearing the man, who consumed my thoughts, call my name. 

"In the Livingroom! I think!"

Henry appeared in the arch way, "Hey, yes this is the living room."

I saw him laughing quietly, "I don't know, mister 'Ready for a tour'."

"There is that cute little feisty kitten."

I stuck my tongue at him, "You forget kittens got claws."

He laughed, "Follow me if you want pizza, I might eat it all, it smells so good."

I quickly raced after him, "I'm hungry don't torture me."

He rushed into the kitchen, "I demand a fee per slice."

He had the pizza box held up over his head, and I knew for a fact there was no way even if I tried to stand on my toes I would not even be able to graze the box.

"What is this so called fee, pizza eating suppressor?" I c****d my head to the side crossing my eyes playfully glaring at the man before me. He flashed me a cheesy grin, no pun intended.

"I want a kiss."

"Really?" I sighed sarcastically, "You are so cruel."

He pouted, but I quickly bounced over to him and pecked his lips, "One slice please."
