Kate
I woke up the next day to the warm sunshine brimming through the tiny opening between my curtains. I groaned and stretched a little before opening my eyes. I took a look around and pinched myself... I wasn't dreaming. I was really at Dean's house. I sat up and felt my tears falling as I took a few deep breaths. My mind finally understood what happened and I couldn't nor wanted to hold my tears back. I was finally free. I'll never have to go home with fear, no one will call me a failure, not in this house and not in this family. I heard a soft knocking on the door.
- Come in! - I said trying to wipe my tears off. Donna's head appeared in the slightly opened door. She looked stunning even in her PJ's. Her pitch black hair was up in a messy bun, she wore a light pink long PJ trousers, and white t-shirt with a huge daisy on it.
- Did I wake you up? - she asked in a low voice and I shook my head. Donna walked in and closed the door softly.
- They boys are still sleeping. - she sat in front of me into the bean bag I asked for and crossed her long legs. Her every movement was somehow heated with elegance and her whole being was simply alluring... Even with the pink slippers that had an enormous pom-pom on top of them.
- So, how do you feel? - she asked and I needed a few seconds to look into her eyes properly.
- It feels like a dream... - I admitted and Donna smiled warmly.
- I know the feeling my sweety! When I saw Grim at my grave in my second life, I felt the same way. I swear to you, I was standing there, just looking at the man I fell head over heels for, and all I could've thought about was "Is this a dream? Well, I know your situation is different, thanks to the Universe.- Donna was chatty and full of life, it was so difficult to comprehend that she wasn't a living being. She probably noticed my inner debate because her smile widened and she leaned ahead curiously.
- Just ask it, whatever it is! - she said and I blushed.
- I just thought that you are so alive... Are you, Grim and Dean, alive at all? - Donna giggled.
- Well what it means to be alive? If we take the physically, we are also a composition of cells in constant movement and changes. Nonetheless, we can persist in a thermodynamic state far from equilibrium for significant periods of time and able to reproduct ourselves. On the other, we cannot really be alive even if our hearts beat, because we don't really need either food, nor sleep to stay functioning and we don't age. Psychologically we are alive since we think, and exists, even if not all people can percept our existence. In my opinion as long as we find happiness in existence itself and can live a life Life dreamed of for human kind, we are more alive than anyone else. Was this understandable? - she asked and I felt my jaw dropped.
- Honestly, this was pretty dense answer this early in the morning. - Donna laughed and smiled at me kindly.
- Sorry! Short version, I believe that we are alive. - Now it was my time to giggle. We remained a bit silent after that and I couldn't take my eyes off of Donna's appearance.
- If there something on my face? - she asked and I blushed shaking my head vehemently.
- Not at all! I was just in awe. You are truly beautiful. - she blushed slightly.
- Thank you, but I must admit my son has a great taste, you have a really beautiful face Kate. Not to mention that unique eye color and your freckles are simply adorable!
- Thank you... I can't see myself like you just described me, but thanks anyway.
- How do you see yourself when you look into the mirror? - Donna asked.
- I haven't looked at myself for a long time. - Donna got up and pulled me up from the bed as well. She walked me to the door and with the movement of her hand, a full body mirror appeared.
- Take a good look at yourself Kate. Your life isn't over, it just started. Look into your beautiful eyes and believe in what they see. - I did as she told me, and I had to admit my appearance was lot better than a few months ago. My skin looked healthier as well as my hair. My eyes almost sparkled after crying so much my nose got a bit red and I looked like a real life porcelain doll.
- You are very pretty and cute. - Donna said hugging me slightly.
- Indeed, but I want to be hot like you. - I said with a childish tone I didn't even know I had. Donna giggled.
- In this case, what if we got for a girls day today? We can find a new style for you, something you like and feel comfortable in it. - my eyes widened and I stared into Donna's through her reflection in the mirror.
- I've neve been on a girls day before. - I admitted and she smiled excitedly.
- In that case this one will be even more exciting! Get ready we are leaving in fifteen minutes! I'll just wake the boys so they'd know we headed out. - she was heading to the door when I called her name.
- Donna. - she turned around.
- Yes, you can wake Dean up! - I looked at the floor as she found my thoughts out. She giggled leaving my room. I took a deep breath and walked to the one next to mine. My heart beat as fast like a racing car's motor. I put my hand on the doorknob when I heard a shout from Donna and Grim's bedroom.
- WAKEY WAKEY! - Donna screamed and I swear I heard someone rolling off of the bed and falling on the floor.
- Oh my love! Are you okay?! - Grim asked with worry in his voice but Donna just laughed and without seeing them, I could figure out what happened. Without looking ahead of myself, I reached for the doorknob again, only to touch something plain instead. I looked slowly up and saw my hand resting on Dean's muscular stomach. Our eyes met and he smiled.
- Good morning! - he said in a little harsh and sleepy voice which sent a tiny shiver down on my spine due to the excitement.
- Good morning... - I said and wanted to kiss him so badly, but from his expression I knew Dean wasn't really awake yet.
- Did you sleep well?
- Yes. - I answered with my hand still on his stomach.
- Kate. - Dean's voice was harsh and really sexy. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered.
- If you keep caressing me this early in the morning, I'm not sure I'll be a gentleman. - I pulled my hand back immediately. I didn't even notice I was caressing him!!!
- I'll head out with your mom today that's why I came to wake you up. Just to let you know! I had no other intentions. I hope you slept well, I'll see you soon later! Bye! - I said and ran back to my room hearing my heartbeats in my ears.
