David is the kind of man to never show affection in public.
You could be the love of his unlife and he would still be embarrassed by PDA. Not to be confused with the possessive stance he keeps over you in public. How he gently nudges you behind him if a fight is going to break out or how he pulls on your jacket to get you out of harms way when you dumbly (accidentally) walked over a manhole or into traffic. He won't kiss you or hold your hand on the boardwalk, no. Cuddly cutsey stuff is reserved for him only. If you want to go on the ferris wheel or if you want him to win you a stuffed toy, he will gladly accommodate your request. But dont expect him to kiss your cheek about it. He doesn't want others to be blessed in the glow of your blush when he whispers how he adores you. Or your adorable giggle when he kisses the tip of your nose or nibbles the crook of your neck. He's old-fashioned like that. He insists that intimate time is for 'the two of you' and not the world (unless hes sharing you, but thats not the point).
David shows he loves you in secret ways.
Remembering your favorite snack if they're raiding a store. Or if there's a flower or rock he thinks you'd like, he'll pocket it to gift to you. Brushing the hair from your face when you're disheveled or pulling feathers out of your clothes when you and the boys run around in the woods. Protecting you from other vampire clans and night creatures; hell, any human who tried to harm you would never stand a chance at survival. Taking notice of your change in moods. Anticipating them and accommodating your needs. Lighting your cigarette with the end of his. Hiding you away from prying eyes after every hunt. Keeping you all to himself, missing the feel of your skin on his cold, dead hands. Tying a loc of your hair in his earring or hiding it somewhere in his jacket. He has eternity to worship you, and he will do so in his own time, on his own terms.
Hearing my name being shouted from down the hall I sigh, dragging myself off of my bed and slowly walking out of the comfort of my own blankets. An eruption of laughter concerns me as I keep my eyes low, not sure what I’ll be walking into when David is with more than one of his friends filming.
I take out my headphones and immediately regret leaving my room.
All I can see is a mess. As I step forward, milk seeps into my left sock making me cringe and then looking down at the floor I see what was the Christmas tree now surrounded by broken decorations and smashed baubles. “I should not have left my room.” I moan to myself, unaware of the damages ahead.
“Y/n?” I lift my head up and feel like crying as I see the smashed table covered in glitter on the carpet, at least five metres of fairy lights tangled into a knot on the sofa and the sound of coughing comes from the kitchen.
Jonah walks past me, dripping milk off of him leaving a trail as he slowly walks out in what was once an elf t-shirt. “Hey, we’re heading out to film a few more bits for the vlog, can you clear up in here?” David walks over to me and pats my shoulder, flashing a quick smile before heading out with the others who are already outside the apartment.
I stand still, trying to process what I’m surrounded by and how long it’ll take to get this place back to what can be considered normal. My body collapses onto the floor and I begin to pick at bits of glass, some brightly coloured and others clear. I try to ignore the tiny pieces that dig into my fingertips, causing a light sting to occur.
Now and then I walk over to the kitchen and place piles of mess there, but there’s another puddle of milk there too. I walk back and forth carrying small handfuls of glass or glitter, ignoring the squelching of my sock from the milk and avoiding stepping in glass.
After half an hour I can fee myself losing it. The mess around me seems to be growing, another part of the living room seems to have a pile of shit forming whilst my back is turned. I want to scream, I want to burst into tears as I sit here and cause more damage.
I knew what I was signing up for when David asked me to be his assistant temporarily. It meant I could earn a bit of extra cash that I needed, but this is a whole other level than I anticipated. I was good at making phone calls, managing his day to day schedules whilst studying for my last exam next week.
But now I feel out of control. I try to recite facts that I’ve been reading over and over again, hoping it would sink in whilst checking my phone to see if David got the latest memo about the next batch of merch he wants to be released in time for Christmas.
Wiping my eyes I see blood on my fingertips watered down with my own tears. Immediately I get up and head to the bathroom, standing in the growing puddle of milk and screaming to myself as I look at my reflection in the mirror under the harsh yellow lighting.
Taking some tissue and dampening it under the tap I wipe my face, feeling the tears absorbing themselves into the tissue that breaks and sticks to my face. I force my socks off of my feet and fling them down the hall into the growing mess I’ll get to.
I sigh loudly and sit down next to the toilet, burying my head into my lap.
“Y/n?” Looking up I see David stood there, a concerned expression on his face.
I quickly wipe my face, feeling the temperature in my face rising as he steps into the bathroom and sits down in front of me. “I’m fine, sorry.” My words rush out of my mouth before I have the chance to process them.
He places his hand on mine as it rests on my thigh. I wince quietly as I feel the fresh prick wounds on my fingertips. He glances up at me before turning my hand over, seeing the bloody mess on my fingers. “Oh, Y/n.” He sighs and brings my hand close to his mouth and kisses my hand lightly. “I’m sorry, I had no idea it was that bad in there.” He half laughs, trying to make me feel better.
I shake my head. “It’s not that, I’m just stressed out currently with my exam coming up,” I say and he leans back groaning to himself loudly. “David?” I ask, watching as he pulls at his own hair.
“Oh my god, I’m so fucking dumb!” He yells to himself before focusing back on me. “I completely forgot that was coming up. Probably because I rely on you to tell me my schedule.” I laugh lightly in response, his actions so dramatic.
“It’s alright. I just needed a quiet night to study, but I’ll do it later.” I mutter as I stand back up, and David does the same blocking the doorway as he shakes his head.
“Nope. You’re going to study and then we’ll cuddle. I’ll get the guys to help me clean up.” He says before kissing me sweetly. “Now you go study, I want that cuddle by the time I’ve finished cleaning up.” He says as he walks out of the room and heading back into all of the mess leaving me stood still with a small smile on my face.

Having to work a nine to five job while the rest of your friend group got to create their own schedules, was sometimes, a little frustrating, especially on days like today. You had woken up in the early hours of the morning to get ready for your day, just as your boyfriend was falling asleep for the night. (And you already knew it was going to be a rough day because he had forgotten to give you your good morning kiss, opting to blow one at you from the comfort of the bed. You relied on those good morning kisses to brighten up your day.) You were a journalist for a well-known fashion website and absolutely loved your job and everything that came with it. But there were days like today, when you considered quitting it all and permanently becoming a member of your boyfriend’s vlog squad. You had walked into the office building and immediately were bombarded with questions you didn’t even know the answers to. You answered as many questions as you could then sat down at your desk, you took a deep breath and prepared yourself for the rest of the day.
As your work day continued, it steadily became more and more overwhelming. You had not only been asked every question known to man, but had also been pulled into your boss’s offices because you had completely forgotten about an article that was due to be up on the website the day before. Luckily, it had already been written, you just needed to send it to the editor so that he could fine tune any mistakes. You texted your boyfriend complaining about your day, to which his response was postmating your favorite coffee to your office. (God, you loved him.) By the time five o’clock rolled around, you were almost close to tears, thanking the stars above that it was Thursday, and a three day weekend, which meant you didn’t have to be back at the hell hole until Monday.
----
You tried not to be annoyed as you opened the door to David’s house, finding all of the lights turned off and music coming from the bedroom.
“David fucking Dobrik, I swear. I’ve had a rough day, I don’t want to be pranked.” You whined, locking the door behind you, sliding off your shoes and putting your purse on the kitchen counter. You looked up seeing David come around the corner with a soft smile on his face, “No, bubby, this isn’t for my vlog. I’ve just heard you had a long day?” he questioned quietly. Your expression turned soft as you glanced up at your handsome boyfriend, “Very long.” You groaned leaning your body weight against him. You let out a very embarrassing squeal as David picked you up bridal style, walking you both towards his bedroom. “Well lucky for you, I know just the trick for long exhausting days.” He grinned, planting a soft kiss to your forehead. Once you had arrived to the bedroom, he took you into the bathroom and you gasped at the sight in front of you. The bathroom lights were shut off, the space being illuminated by ten or so candles instead. He had filled up the bathtub with warm water and as you sniffed softly at the smell, you realized he had used your favorite soap to create bubbles in the tub. He sat you back down on the ground and you looked up at him with an awed expression on your face.
“Dave, you did this for me?” You whispered, feeling like that was the most appropriate volume for the current setting. “Of course, y/n. You had a long day and you deserve to be pampered.” He took his bottom lip between his teeth shyly as you brought one hand up to cup his cheek, rubbing your thumb gently across his cheek bone. “Dave, you ordering me coffee was enough. You didn’t have to do all of this for me.” He scoffed, “You deserve the absolute world, y/n. I wanted to. Now,” he said, clapping his hands together, “Let’s get you naked and into this bath, hm?” He winked at you and you laughed, “Is that what this is all about, Dave? You just wanna get me naked?” “Oh baby, you and I both know I don’t have to try hard to get you undressed.” You cackled loudly at your boyfriend’s cheekiness, pulling your shirt over your head.
Once you were undressed, you put your hair up in a high bun then finally sank your body into the warm tub water. You let out a sigh of pleasure, feeling your muscles starting to relax at the warmth. “Feel good, angel?” David questioned, sitting down right by the tub as he opened a bottle of beer. You watched him take a drink, leaning your head back on the tub, “Incredible. This is exactly what I needed bubs. You’re a godsend.” You grabbed the bottle from him once he offered, taking a drink of it. “You work too hard anyways, y/n.” You rolled your eyes, not wanting to start this argument tonight. “Dave,” you whined, “Baby, not tonight. I just wanna relax. Don’t wanna get in argument with you.” You pouted at him. He leaned forward pressing a soft kiss to your lips, “I don’t wanna get in argument with you either, bubby.” He crossed his arms, laying them on the edge of the bathtub then resting his head against them. “But, you need to think about it. You could run your own fashion, blog – website – thing – whatever,” You chuckled softly at your boyfriend’s frustration, nodding at him to continue on. “You’re too stressed. You come home exhausted every night because of it. I just wanna see you happy, y/n, okay? Just think about it for me, will you?” He gently pressed another kiss to your lips, then to your nose, and then to your forehead. You pushed your hand against his shoulder playfully, a soft blush rising to your cheeks. “Fine, Dave. I’ll think about it.” He grinned smugly, taking another sip of the alcohol, “Great. Now, tell me about your day, vent it out to me, baby.” You shook your head, raising an eyebrow at him, “Only if you get in here with me. I miss you.” He puckered out his bottom lip, giving you a fond look, “Fuck, you’re so cute. How in the world did I get so lucky?” He pulled off his shirt, and now it was your turn to grin smugly. “I ask myself that question every day, Dave.”

They lay in the pure intimacy of their bedroom after their lovemaking session. He has just asked her to travel with him to a country that she has always dreamt of visiting. She is a bit surprised by his sudden proposal. He has gone on business trips alone before. So, what has changed?
“I don’t even own a passport.” David groans as he raises to his feet. He faces Y/N from the end of the bed before bending down and reaching down for his phone. He begins tapping on his phone, clearly texting someone else.
“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll fix that for you” David has enough connections to be able to get her a passport before they arrive back in the city. He is still pretty surprised that Y/N hasn’t had the opportunity to see the world. That single fact instantly makes the trip more important to him. He is going to be able to show her the world.
“What about Henry? Is he coming with us? Who is going to take care of him?” She sits up in bed and begins readjusting her top and tying the bottoms that David had undone.
“He is staying in New York. He is still too young. I’ll get a babysitter” Y/N perks up at the mention of the babysitter.
“He already has me, David. It’s my job to take care of him. That’s what you are paying me for” Y/N gets off the bed in search of a mirror to fix her crazy hair.
“That’s something I need to talk to you about” David has given it a lot of thought. Ever since he first asked her to be his. He doesn’t want her to work for him anymore. It all feels wrong. “Although we’ll talk about that when we get home” He dismisses, not sure how that particular conversation is going to go. He feels they should be in the privacy and coziness of the penthouse before he drops the bomb on her. “Henry is not coming babe”.
“But…”
“I just said no” His voice is rougher like the one she hears him use towards his employees. “Period. Henry is staying and that’s final” She bites her own tongue, stopping her own fingers from continuing to go through her hair. She can see him through the bathroom mirror. He is frowning as he finishes tying his swimming trunks.
“Fine” She snaps back as she tries her best not to feel offended by his sharp and demanding tone. “When are we leaving?” She exhales as she turns to face him, leaning against the bathroom counter. David’s frown softens and his demeanor instantly changes. The dark cloud over his head seems to evaporate in seconds.
“A week from today” He hates using that tone on her, but his temper runs short when people defied him. He still feels shitty because he knows that she only meant well. “Come here” David reaches out. She cautiously walks up to him. His hands make their way around her waist before nudging the side of her head with his forehead. He puckers his lips asking for a kiss. She can’t stop a smile from spreading at his soft gesture. She gently gives him a chaste kiss. “Let’s go upstairs. My mom is probably waiting for us”.
The rest of Dobrik’s clan is waiting for them. The food has been served on the big table on the sun deck. All types of meat including lamb and a bunch of sides have been placed on the table. Y/N grips his hand tightly as they approach the table, she can’t help feeling like everyone knows what they were doing.
“There you are! I almost went looking for you” Mrs. Dobrik calls out, “Please sit and enjoy” David pulls Y/N’s seat out for her before sitting beside her. They quietly start serving themselves meanwhile Y/N tries to ignore Mr. Dobrik’s hard stare.
“Is there something you would like to share, father?” His stare certainly doesn’t go unnoticed by his oldest. Mr. Dobrik looks over at David with pursing lips.
“I don’t think it’s a dining table conversation son. It’s best if we leave it for later” David raises an eyebrow at him as he tries to figure out what he is referring to.
“Then I suggest you stop starring at my girlfriend and making her uncomfortable” Y/N’s eyes widen as she turns to look at David, wanting to smack him for his bluntness. If she wasn’t feeling uncomfortable, she certainly is now. The entire table is completely quiet. It is a staring contest between the men of the family aside from Nathaniel, who seems too invested in his food to participate.
“Forgive me, Y/N. I didn’t mean to be rude” Mr. Dobrik tears his eyes away from his son’s that look so much like his mother’s. He is apologizing, but Y/N could see that he didn’t mean a single word.
“There is no need, Mr. Dobrik. It’s no big deal” Y/N fakes smile at him before staring down to her food. Mrs.Dobrik exhales loudly as she tries her best to thinking of something quickly to break the awkward tension.
“Snorkeling or tubbing next, Y/N?” It is Allison who finally interjects as she reaches out for the giant bowl of cold pasta salad.
“Tubbing? On what?” Y/N giggles; thankful to have Allison around.
“On a hot dog or burger. It’s your choice” David’s younger sister knew how uncomfortable her brother and father can make guests feel. Allison is reliving the same situation that she endured when she had brought Nate home. Her father had treated him like shit. It wasn't until Allison put her foot down and David almost threw himself on his father that he stopped his snarling and condescending comments towards Nate. Either way, he still treated him unkindly at times.
Allison knows that it’s worthless to stay mad at her father. He has always been this way. They have all tried to change him, but they haven’t had much success. Allison just doesn’t understand why her mother never says anything and allows their father to walk all over them.
“Hot dog sounds fun” Y/N smiles as she looks back down at her food. The altercation had honestly ruined her appetite. David seems to have no problem eating. He looks unbothered by it, but in reality, he is fuming from inside. He is beyond pissed. He just can’t wait until everyone leaves and he can have a moment alone with his father. Mr. Dobrik was going to get a piece of his mind whether he likes it or not.
Allison and Nate are the first to excuse themselves after coffee and dessert. Mrs. Dobrik rises to her feet and looks over at Y/N who seems uncomfortable.
“Let’s go honey” She stretches out her hand for take. Just as Y/N pushes her seat away from the table, Mr. Dobrik’s hand smacks against the table. All the plates, silverware, and porcelain shake; startling the women.
“You leave,” Mr. Dobrik says as he looks at his wife. “This has nothing to do with you”.
“Excuse me?” Mrs. Dobrik asks back with her hands on her hips.
“I told you to leave. Don’t make me ask you again because it won’t be nice” He snaps at her, causing her for her demeanor to instantly changed. That tone is too familiar to her and hearing it only brings dark memories. Horrible memories enough to make her feel scared and bite down her tongue.
“Do not talk to my mother like that” It’s David’s turn to snap at him. He can’t sit back and watch how his father verbally abuses his mother. He might not be hitting her, but he knows that his words have the same effect. His words sometimes hurt her more than his fists.
“She is my wife! I can talk to her however I please!” Mr. Dobrik responds. Not fone bit aced by his son's harsh tone.
“Honey, just listen to your father. I am fine” She feels like a fool for believing her husband's promise. He had promised her that he wouldn’t cause a conflict.
“Go with my mom, babe” David can change the tone of his voice for her as he sees his girlfriend’s concern expression. Y/N quickly stands up to comply with his demand.
“NO! This is concerns her therefore she should be here” Mr. Dobrik exclaims making both women shake. Y/N stops moving as Mrs.Dobrik continues walking out and gives her a reassuring nod.
“I just told you to leave, Y/N” David’s protecting side arising. He doesn’t want her around just in case it gets uglier.
“It’s okay” Y/N knows that his father won’t back out and whatever he has to say she can take it. She isn’t going to hide behind David. She is a strong, independent woman that could take the ignorant opinions of an abusing man, especially with her boyfriend by her side —at least that what she thinks. David purses his lips and looks back at his father.
“It’s funny how your girlfriend has more balls than you, David” Mr.Dobrik sarcastically chuckles as he looks over at Y/N. “I am surprised, Ms. Y/L/N. I didn’t think you had it in you”.
“You don’t know many things about me, Mr. Dobrik. You would be astounded to know that I am not like other women” She snaps back as tries her best not to feel intimidated.
“That is certainly true. I was surprised to find out that you aren’t who you say you are, Ms. Y/LN. Did you know that, son?” He asks as he looks over at his oldest. “You have no idea who you are sleeping with”. David chuckles but continues to listen to his preposterous statements. “Is Y/N even your real name?”.
“It is Mr. Dobrik and I’ve been nothing, but honest with your son. Therefore, I would love to hear an apology coming from you” She kindly smiles at him.
“She is a fucking nanny, David!” He snaps, Y/N calm demeanor is easily getting under his skin. “She doesn’t work for Alessandro. Is all bullshit. “She is probably some gold digger” He looks at her with disgust.
That was enough for David.
“Don’t you fucking dare to talk about her like that” Mr. Dobrik smirks pleased with the reaction has he has just gotten out of him. “I am well aware that she is a nanny, father” David chuckles as he crosses his fingers with one another, entertained by the show that his father has just put on.
“She doesn’t even come from a proper family. How do you think that the media will react when they find out that she is nothing, but your son's nanny?!” He spats.
“I took her to the gala, father. They already know. We were seen by hundredths and a bunch of pictures where taken of us” David rolls his eyes before rising to his feet. “Instead of making a big altercation of this, you could have just asked me about it and I would’ve told you. I am not hiding her”. David takes Y/N hand, ready to leave.
“Her father is dead, David. God only knows who and where her mother is!” Mr.Dobrik says just before they can leave the room. The small comment is enough for Y/N to let David’s hand go and turn back.
“You have no right to talk about my father, Mr.Dobrik. Let alone about my mother or anything that concerns my family. You might have all the money that anyone could dream of, but not everything can be resolved with money. You are an abuser and at least my father never touched or thought about hurting any of us. Instead of continuing to mistreat your family maybe you could thank them for all the abuse that they’ve had to endure. You should also worship the ground that Mrs. Dobrik walks on because she deserves an award for keeping up with your horrific personality and cruel attitude” His snarly comment about her father had been enough to set her up in flames. No one would ever mess up his memory especially when she was around. She loves her father and all she has left of him is the fun-loving memories of him and she isn’t going to allow anyone to change that.
Author’s note: Hi guys — I hope you are all having a wonderful night. There is not much to tell. We are still stuck in quarantine since the number of infected is still on the rise.
Let me know how everyone is doing! My birthday is right around the corner.
Also, had anyone seen the kid that vlogs, talks and laughs like David? I've seen the videos and he has copied all his mannerisms. It's so odd.
---
Y/N is oblivious to why David hates his father so much. It doesn't feel right to ask about such a deep-rooted issue. She only hopes that when the time is right and he reaches out.
"How come you never told me about your father?" David breaks the silence that has settled within the car. Interestingly enough, they have never talked about their families. They've talked about politics, art, traveling, and plenty of other things.
"I don't really know" She shrugs, there isn't a specific reason to why Y/N has kept the death of her father in the dark. She wasn't hiding it from anyone. It was just hard for her to talk about him without getting chocked up.
"Tell me about him" David's thumb continues to stroke the side of her thigh. It is mostly for his comfort. He enjoys her soft skin against his fingertips.
"My dad was wonderful. My mom to this day says that he was an average lover, but a magnificent father" Y/N swallows back, trying to control her emotions. "I had a great childhood. I wouldn't change a thing. I was spoiled, loved, and cared for" David remains quiet as he thinks about his own father. "We found out about his cancer during my freshman year of college. I begged him to let me stay just so I could take care of him. He was too selfless and forced me to leave" Y/N just wishes she had more time with him. She wishes that they had gone out more frequently to fish. It was his favorite hobby.
Mr. Y/L/N just progressively got sick after being diagnosed. It was aggressive and all her family could do was sit around and pray for the best. It essentially metastasized to his brain and lungs and left him in bed. His brain tumor made him lose his short term memory. It also caused him to lose the movement of the side of his body. The man in that bed those last few weeks wasn't her father. The tumor made him disoriented and confused. She still held his hand until his last breath. He died of respiratory failure on a very early morning.
"I am sorry" It isn't until David takes her hand in his that she realizes that she is silently crying. She smiles through her tears and quickly wipes them off her face.
"I guess it's just hard to accept the fact that he will never be there. He will miss my wedding and he will miss the birth of his grandchildren. He'll never get to see me as a fully grown adult" Y/N hates thinking about it, but someone will always be missing. "I still have my mom though."
He doesn't know what to say or respond. He feels like an actual dick for complaining about his father. Her father had died and there is nothing she can do to bring him back. Whilst he has his father very alive and all they do is fighting.
"What about your family?" They have just crossed to Queens. They are behind schedule. They had stopped for a coffee and a snack. Henry was also fuzzy since he isn't used to staying in his car seat for so long.
"Where do I start? My mother is an angel sent from heaven. I have a young sister named Allison. She is a lawyer. She just recently got engaged to Nate. He is in medical school. Lastly, there is my father. He used to be CEO of the company too" Y/N knows that she shouldn't, but she is still pretty nervous to meet the Dobrik clan. She just wants to make a great first impression.
"When is your sister getting married?" Mr. Dobrik senior didn't approve of Nathaniel. He worried that Nathaniel wouldn't be able to provide for his daughter. Nate was a bit lost and hadn't decided on what to study when he had proposed to Allison. Mr. Dobrik called him out and treated him like trash. David had to step in and ask his father to back off.
"Hopefully soon. My dad doesn't approve of Nathaniel" David explains, "He thinks he isn't enough for her. He says Nate is just common and ordinary" He rolls his eyes. David just doesn't understand the necessity that his father has for controlling everyone's lives.
"As long as they love one other, the rest doesn't matter" David smiles at his girlfriend's words as he continues the drive. His father can be impolite and make anyone feel very small. David just hopes that he doesn't overstep this time around.
While growing up, Mr. Dobrik always emphasized the importance of investing money in property. At the beginning that's what the house at the Hamptons was. None of the family members ever imagined the great joy and memories that it would give them. As soon as school was out Mrs. Dobrik would gather the kids in the car and move to the house.
During college it became that hang out place for David's friends. They would all fly in and stay at the mansion. Now it's the place where the family spends long weekends, holidays and summers. It doesn't matter the season or the temperature outside. The Hamptons house is the sanctuary of the Dobriks.
"David wait!" Y/N stops him before he can get out of the car. The palms of her hands are sweating and her legs feel wobbly. He let's go of the handle of the car and shift his body to face her. He can read her with just a glimpse of her face. "I'm scared" she exhales, "What if they hate me or don't approve?"
"Their impressions or opinions about you won't phase me or stir me away from you, baby" He holds her hands, "I would love for you guys to get along, but I also know how difficult they can be" David kisses her hands trying to ease her thoughts. He hopes his father keeps his comments to himself. He knows he will protect her at all costs. "Ready?"
She nods and gives him a small smile. David leans over and gives her a chaste kiss.
David is the first out of the car. He carries what is left of his venti Americano under his arm as he opens the trunk of the car. Y/N gets out a few seconds after him after taking a few deep breaths. She stretches out her legs and gathers the wrappers and trash that has accumulated in the car for the last two hours.
Y/N had planned out their trip based on Henry's naps. They arrive perfectly in time to wake him up from his last nap. She throws the diaper bag over her shoulder before moving to the seats in the back. Y/N doesn't want to wake him up abruptly since she knows how mad he can get. Plus, the whole point of planning their arrival at this time is for Henry to be happy and in his best mood to greet his grandparents.
"Hi baby" She whispers as she takes him out of his seat and into her arms. Y/N wraps a fluffy blanket over his small body before cuddling him close. She runs her index finger over his T-zone to get him to wake him up. Like clockwork, his eyes start fluttering and a small yawn escapes his lips. "How was your nap, bubba?" Y/N asks as she kisses his forehead. Before she can continue to cuddle him, loud squeak peers, through the air.
A younger woman, with dark, shoulder-length hair comes running out of the house towards David. She wears black leggings and a baggy sweater with a top bun.
Allison Dobrik is the spitting image of her older brother with the feminine touch of their mother. She is shorter than David but just as ferocious. She isn't like the girls she used to play with. Allison is independent and very stubborn. She hates when she is compared to her older brother or her father.
"Look at you!" David laughs as he hugs her tightly as he spins her around. The only woman beside her mother and Y/N to call him out in his bullshit is Allison. "God you are heavy" He exhales after setting her back down on the floor.
"Are you calling me fat, asshole?" She asks as she smacks his stomach. "Not all of us have a private gym and chefs" Allison is an environmental lawyer. She spends most of her days advocating for clean technology and climate change law. It is her greatest passion.
"What's mine is yours. I've told you this a million times" Allison rolls her eyes at her older brother. Allison and David text most days and they let each other know about their days. David most days tries to convince her to move back to Manhattan. She currently lives in D.C with her fiance. Henry's cooing causes Allison to turn her attention to his girlfriend. "This is Y/N, -- my girlfriend".
For a second, Allison is taken back and surprised by her older brother's words.
"Hello" Y/N shyly smiles as she tries to get Henry to suck on his pacifier. Allison smiles back at Y/N.
"Hi! It's so nice to meet you!" Allison is very protective of her brother mostly because he is always around dumb and superficial girls. She can perceive by the looks of Y/N that she isn't like the rest. She is different so Allison is willing to give her a chance.
"Likewise" Y/N exhales, content with the first exchange of words. Allison's attention turns to Henry. "Here is your nephew. He is a little bit out of it because he just woke up" Allison smiles widely to the little boy and reaches out for him.
"Hi baby. I missed you! You are so big already!" Allison kisses his chubby cheeks before giving him a gentle hug. "What are you giving him?" She asks surprised at his growth. Allison had been there for the birth of Henry and hadn't seen him since he was two weeks old.
"Just milk" Y/N beams as she tickles his belly with her index finger. David shuts and locks the car before approaching them, carrying the bags.
"and lots of love" He says giving Y/N a quick kiss on the cheek before walking past by. Allison giggles at Y/N's blushed cheeks. Allison instantly finds their small interaction cute. She had never seen his brother be affectionate with another woman.
"Come on" Allison urges her towards the main entrance of the house. Y/N can already hear David yelling their arrival when she walks into the beautiful residence.
Just like most houses a lamp hangs from the ceiling of the house by the entrance. The interior of the house is painted in white. At the right of the entryway staircases are leading upstairs and downstairs. David settles the suitcases by the front door before turning to close the door after Y/N.
"Here" he notices her carrying the diaper bag and some of Henry's blankets and toys.
"I don't mean to be rude or state the obvious, but this house is huge!" She whispers to her boyfriend. David chuckles and intertwines their hands before turning back to Allison who is making faces to Henry.
"Where is the rest of the herd?" Allison laughs and shakes her head at him.
"They are in the living room" She rolls her eyes before leading the way into the living room.
Mrs. Dobrik stands in the bar that is situated on the side of the living room. She is pouring her own cup of red wine when she hears her kids walk in.
"I thought I heard the car!" She says as she places the wine bottle down and faces up. "Hi sweetie!" Mrs. Dobrik beams as she approaches the couple. She is quick to notice them holding hands and the way that Y/N is shyly standing behind David. She cups David's face and kisses both of his cheeks. "I've missed you so much"
"I missed you more" David responds as he hugs her with a single arm. "This is Y/N"...
Author’s Note: This is the first chapter of the NEW SERIES based on the imagine of CEO! I have rewritten this first chapter a thousand times by now. I just wanted it to be perfect and for everyone to get a glimpse of the kind of man that David is in this series.
I also didn’t want to title it just CEO because it’s so cliche. I wanted it to be alluring for all of you! I hope you all enjoy the first chapter.

Powerful is the first word that comes to mind when asked about him. It is later followed by meticulous, driven, calculating, or even impatient. At twenty-six, he has acquired everything that he has ever wished for and even more.
“Mr. Dobrik” he is greeted as he steps out of his car. He keeps his eyes glued to his phone, he is still trying to respond to an obnoxious email. He picks up the pace and types vigorously before entering the building. Someone was already at the door holding it open for him.
“Thank you, Patrick” David acknowledges him after he finally puts his phone away and walks through the doors. The sound of the heel of his shoes clicking echoes through the lobby alerting everyone of his arrival. He runs a tight ship on his company, but it was for their best interest.
“Good morning, Mr. Dobrik,” Andrea one of the receptionist says, she flashes him a big smile.
“Andrea” he nods her way as he walks up to the elevators. She smiles to herself and sits back down. She has a huge crush on him but has never gotten anything out of him. He was always on his phone or in a rush. She didn’t blame him after all he was an important man with a tight schedule.
David walks into his top floor and without a word walks into his office. A fresh glass of water with ice already rests on his desk. The recognizable pile of contracts and documents still lay on the right side of his desk, desperately calling out for his attention.
“Mr. Dobrik” Andrew Rider was David’s personal assistant for almost four years. He is David’s most trusted worker. Andrew even had a copy of David’s penthouse keys. He sometimes dropped off to deliver his tailored suits and documents.
“Good morning” He momentarily looks up from his screen and nods his direction. “Before anything Andrew please ask Daniel to bring me a coffee and something to eat from that coffee place I like”
“Yes sir” Andrew quickly types Daniel a quick text before turning his attention to the list of appointments and meetings that David had scheduled. “Should we start now?” David nods as he continues looking through the emails in his inbox. Andrew always debriefs David about all the stats about the company before letting him know about his meetings and messages. As soon as Andrew finishes reading all the reports of every single branch he looks up at David and waits for a reaction. Andrew holds his IPad close to his body just in case things go south and he has to bolt out of the room just like he’s done many times before.
“Thanks, fine. Proceed” This time it wasn’t the case. He was content with how things were going.
“Your mother called yesterday and so did Ms. McCoy” David purses his lips at the mention of the woman that has been desperately trying to become his wife. She is the daughter of one of his business partners. They had both invested in various companies together. Mr. McCoy respects David as a businessman and considers him an exceptional man.
“What did my mother say?” He asks already knowing the reason behind her call.
“She asked when you were planning on visiting with Henry” Last time David had gone to see his family things had ended badly. His father and he had gotten into a dispute about his younger sister's fiance. David’s father didn’t approve of him and when asked David told his honest opinion about the young man. She met him in college and they had just recently graduated. He didn’t have his life fully figured out like his father wanted him to have before asking for his daughter ‘s hand, but it didn’t matter. David could see how they loved one another. He didn’t see the problem after all they had just graduated and were still trying to figure out the ropes of adulthood.
“Please let her know I’ll be visiting this weekend and I’ll bring him too. As of Ms. McCoy let her know if she calls back that I’ll reach out to her later during the week” Andrew rolls his eyes at the mention of his girlfriend. She is incredibly rude and arrogant. Everyone in the office hated her. They despised when she surprisingly runs by the office just to see the boss. David also hates it because it messes up his whole schedule.
“Also the agency found a new nanny and sent her profile. Would you like me to read it to you?” David closes his laptop and leans back. This is at the top of his priorities for the day which meant it deserved his full attention. “Her name is Y/N Y/L/N, she is twenty-four and has been working for the agency for three years. Her previous family says she is sweet, attentive, caring and always puts the kids first. The family let her go since they were relocating to Los Angeles”
“Did they not send any more profiles? Someone older perhaps?” He had nothing against the girl, but he felt more comfortable with someone older.
“There aren’t more available and they send their apology” He can't leave Henry without a nanny much longer. He needs someone to be around him twenty-four seven especially when he is working.
“Fine. Let her know that I’ll be waiting for her first thing tomorrow at the apartment” Andrew nods back before leaving the office to go fetch David’s coffee. He felt instant relief after finding him a nanny. It wasn’t because David was incapable of taking care of his own son because he has done so the last week since their nanny quit. His tight schedule prevents him from staying home and tend all his needs.
David’s life revolved around Henry. He rathers spends a weekend at home with him than taking a jet off to an exotic location. Henry has him wrapped around his little finger since he was born only three months ago. They only have one another and David has come to terms with it.
Henry’s biological mother had exchanged him for money. David had met Ashley at a bar after one of his business deals had gone wrong. He had gone to the bar to release some stress and steam from the long week. After a few Scotch on the rocks, he noticed the presence of the pretty girl beside him. They talked for a few hours about superficial things like their favorite countries and anecdotes from college. A few minutes later, David found himself calling for Daniel to pick both of them up and drive them home.
The whole night was a big blur for him. The only thing he remembers is the morning after and the hammering headache that came along with it. Ashley vanished as soon as the sun rose over Manhattan. David woke up to an empty room without any trace of her beside the messy bedsheets.
He didn’t hear from her until a few weeks later when an article of him was written by Forbes magazine. He was listed as one of the youngest billionaires. She found the magazine on a stand while making her way to work and called the company. After trying to reach him for a few days Andrew was finally alerted.
Ashley met up with him that same afternoon and told him that she was pregnant and that she was going to terminate the pregnancy. David had never considered having kids up until that point. He thought they were all very cute, but never imagined himself with one. He didn’t say anything. He just told her that it was her body and her decision. David couldn’t sleep that night. He kept rolling around and he felt like something was terribly wrong. Something had woken up inside of him and even though he had decided to no intervene with her decision, he still did.
He begged her to get an abortion and offered to take full responsibility when he was born. That still wasn’t enough with Ashley. She wanted more and it wasn’t until a few days later when David finally figured it all out. She wanted money for the baby. Ashley wanted him to pay her for the baby that she was carrying and once again after much thinking, he did. He paid Ashley and an incredible amount of money for him. David didn’t care how much money it was. Money was dispensable and he could always make more. He couldn’t make another Henry. He was one of a kind. At the end of the day, David was going to be able to raise Henry and watch him grow up.
The day that Henry was born was the last time he heard or saw Ashley. Within hours she had signed off all of her parental rights and had given David full custody. She had also cashed in all the money. Since then they have been together. Everything absolutely everything came after Henry now. All the long hours in the office and the traveling was all for him. David wanted to give him the world.
Andrew sets his coffee down before leaving him on his own. He sits back and starts working until he is interrupted by the head of international relations. The company has been having trouble with the branch in Canada and David still couldn’t under why. They were always above the budge and below the income requirement. He knows he has to drop by soon, but he first wants to gather all the correct information before flying in and firing a few people.
“The situation with Canada can’t continue like this. If it does I am going to forced to fire him” Jacob Wilson is the appointed CEO of the Canadian branch in Ontario. David rarely speaks to him because he has trusted him since the beginning, but things have been slightly off lately.
“I think it’s for our best interest to find out what’s going on over there. It’s a sinking boat and with the expansion happening soon we can’t risk ourselves for the other investors to pull out” Alexander points out before taking a sip out of his coffee.
Before David can say anything else the door burst open and in walks Valentina McCoy with all her might. If there is one thing that David can’t tolerate is being interrupted in one of his meetings especially so abruptly.
“Why haven’t you been answering my calls?” Her voice is loud and stern, but it doesn’t faze him. David turns to look at Alexander, whose eyes look like they are about to pop out of his body. He can defiantly sense the awkwardness of the entire situation.
“I am sorry Alexander. I’ll keep me posted if anything else emerges” They both rise to their feet and shake each other’s hands before Alexander slips out of his office before the mayhem commences.
“Answer me!” She stumps her foot on the ground. Her body is leaned forward and her yaw is clenched. David remains silent only making her angrier. He unbuttons the first two buttons of his shirt, trying his best to put his thoughts together. “David! Why the fuck have you answered me?” She hisses.
“Who do you think you are?” His back is facing her as he looks at the skyline.
“Why can’t you fucking look at me?!” Her voice is louder and by now everyone on the top floor knows that she has arrived. David quickly turns around and chuckles.
“I asked you a question. Who the fuck do you think you are?!” She jumps a bit at his loud, demanding voice. He was sick and tired of her childish actions. “You can’t just barge in here like you own the fucking place and yell at me in front of my employees”
“I sure can! especially when you aren’t answering my texts” Her voice is lower and she has stepped back. She felt intimidated by his current state. David’s eyebrows are knitted and his hands are on his wooden desk.
“You are fucking nobody. You are just a daddy’s girl, who thinks that she can buy her way out of everything. You think your fucking beauty and your bank account grants you the right to do whatever the fuck you want, but that’s not how things work. You have no fucking right to burst through that door without knocking or without letting me know. This isn’t your fucking house where people come in and out whenever they please. This is my goddam company, Valentina” His weight is all distributed on his hands as he leans forward and demands respects. She is speechless and on the verge of tears.
He is so fucking done with her. He enjoyed her company until it lasted. This was the last straw. No one messed around with him, especially in his workplace.
Author’s note: I’ve solved everything with my mom! Thank you all for your lovely messages! I am so happy that everyone is enjoying the serie. I hope you continue to enjoy it! love you!

-----------
David has told her multiple times to never scream within the apartment. It not only helps induce his headache, but it scares Henry. His house isn't a market. David looks over at her and shamefully smiles at her. He is beyond embarrassed. He is oblivious to why she is here. David was supposed to meet her at the gala.
"There you are!" Valeria McCoy smiles at the young billionaire who was bothered by her sudden arrival without an invitation.
"What are you doing here?" He cuts right to the chase. When it came to Valeria, David always found himself in a mental battle. She is beautiful and is the type of woman you see in magazine covers, but that isn't enough for David. If it only came down to beauty, he would already be married. David wants a partner that keeps him on his toes. He wants someone who he can sit with for hours and talk non-stop. The young man is in search of someone that he can grow - intellectually. Valeria McCoy certainly isn't it.
"I thought we could get ready together. I'll be more fun!" David is everything that Valeria has ever wished for and more. He is elegant, poised, and wealthy. He is the only man that she knows that can afford her type of lifestyle. The only person who has been able to keep up with the multiple shopping trips and her travels; has been her father. Mr. McCoy plans on retiring soon. He is ready to hand off the family business to one of his daughters. The one problem is that none of them are capable of sustaining the company.
Y/N's first thought is that the strange woman is Henry's mother as she quietly walks downstairs. She tries her best not to interrupt.
"Oh! Thank God!" Valeria exhales in exasperation as soon as her eyes land on Y/N. "Here" She throws her long gown at her and attempts to hand her a bag that contains all her beauty products. "Please steam the dress and leave the bag at David's bathroom" Y/N stands back, surprised at the woman's behavior. She hands everything back to Valeria before continuing her way towards the kitchen. Y/N has a hungry crying baby upstairs, and she couldn't be wasting her time with someone like Valeria. Her attitude had instantly bugged her.
"David! You have to get new maids around her" Valeria gasps outraged by the behavior of the mysterious woman.
"She is Henry's new nanny. She isn't a maid" David instantly hears Y/N's laugh coming from the kitchen. David joins her at laughing. Valeria purges her lips at the young man. She is not amused and wished that David wasn't either. It felt like they were both ganging up on her.
Y/N continues to prepare Henry's bottle in the kitchen. She can hear their conversation but tries her best not to. By the tone and the way that David keeps talking to Valeria, Y/N can sense that they aren't married or dating. David's tone is harsh and stern as he addresses her. When the bottle is ready, she heads back the same way she had previously entered.
"Wouldn't you be more comfortable getting ready at your house?" David watches Y/N scramble back up. He follows her with his gaze until she disappears into Henry's room.
"David! Are you checking out the damn nanny?" She stumps her foot on the ground. Valeria couldn't believe how evident he had been.
"I wasn't!" He was. David wasn't going to admit it. He knew that it would lead to a fight. Valeria humphs and leads the way to his bedroom. She expects him to follow her, but he diverts before she can catch him. "I am sorry about that, Ms. Y/L/N" He still couldn't figure it out, but there is something of Y/N that captivates him.
She sits on the feeding chair with Henry pressed against her chest. He is half asleep and almost ready for another quick nap. She kisses the gentle kiss of his forehead before looking up at her boss.
"There is no need for you to apologize, Mr. Dobrik. Everyone is responsible for their own actions" David reaches up and touches his own lips. He slightly tugs and pulls on his bottom lip with his thumb and index finger. It's a habit of his; it helps him think.
The action doesn't go unperceived by Y/N. It was a simple act, but enough to ignite something with her. Her cheeks flush, when his eyes catch her watching his lips. If Henry wasn't on her arms, she would have bolted out of the room.
"Ms. McCoy and I will be leaving in a few hours. We'll be back later. I just thought I should let you know" He stands up straight and fixes his posture.
"No problem. Have a lovely evening" Y/N flashes him a lovely smile before he departs then proceeds to feed Henry.
-------------
The room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art captivates the elegance and the splendor that the Manhattan elite emits. All of the attendees dress in head to toe in designer clothes. They all huddle up in small groups around the dance floor, gossiping about others and commenting on their appearance. The waiters stroll around carrying their drinks, tending to their absurd needs.
"Tell me, how's business?" Michael Aldridge is one of David's oldest friends. His family is old money, and they own one of the biggest companies of oil in the world.
"Thriving" David's answer is short, but Jonathan didn't expect anything less of him. He doesn't like to share details about his company, especially when he isn't at the office. David Dobrik has always kept a distinct separation between his private life and work.
"How is the little man?" Alessandro Borghese attended college with David. At one point, they were even roommates. Alessandro is part of a noble and papal family in Italy. Their family focuses on fashion. Alessandro spends most of the year in a jet, traveling from continent to continent.
"He is at home with the new nanny" David takes a sip from his whiskey. The two wealthy men had no idea that he found the new nanny attractive. They think that she is just like the last. David decides not to share anything else. He honestly just wants to go back home and get some much-needed sleep.
"I need a girlfriend man" Michael used to be engaged to another heir of an old-money family. He honestly didn't care how much money her family had. He genuinely liked the woman. Unfortunately, things didn't work out because he caught her cheating. Michael had decided to come home early from a business trip and had found her with him.
"I'll get you a beautiful girlfriend" David and Alessandro took care of everything after Michael broke up the engagement. They made sure everything was canceled, and that Michael got refunded.
"I don't want a model" The Italian frowns and tucks his phone away. "I just want someone to love me for who I am" David understands the feeling and hopes for the same every day.
"We'll find you someone" David reassures his friend as he looks around the room.
"What are you talking about? You are just as fucked up like me" Michael jokes before taking another sip from the alcoholic beverage.
"What about Valeria?" Alessandro asks, knitting his eyebrows. Michael and David roll their eyes at their friend and release a loud exhale.
"She sucks. She is no bueno for David" The three-man continue to talk most of the night. Alessandro and Michael make sure to keep David away from Valeria. Her only intention was to parade David and show him off to the other ladies.
---------
"Can I please stay over?" Valeria asks David as they walk into his penthouse. It's around midnight, and David feels exhausted. He just wants to take a shower, and get in bed.
"I have an early day tomorrow, Valeria" David walks into the house. He notices a few lights in the apartment on. He thinks that Y/N has probably kept them on for her comfort. "Plus, Daniel is already downstairs waiting for you".
"Please, Davey! I promise I'll be nice" She purrs while pulling on his tie.
"I said no Valeria" He still can't believe that she has managed to get drunk in a charity gala. David might be ready to wish her a farewell and never contact her ever again.
"Why are you always such a dick, huh?" She is now angry at him and still very drunk. "You keep pushing me away! I love you!" She exclaims loudly, "I want the entire world to know! I love David Dobrik and I want to become his wife!" She is yelling and David just wants to quick her out of his apartment.
He just needs to find a way to do so. He reaches into his pants to pull out his phone, but before he can call Daniel, he hears a door shutting close-- upstairs.
Y/N had an incredibly long evening with Henry since she has been attempting to correct his schedule. She had finally settled him down right before Valeria had started screaming for the second time today. Y/N waits a few minutes in Henry's nursery just in case he wakes up, but thankfully he doesn't. She grabs the baby monitor before carefully slipping out of the room.
Y/N is angry and she feels her blood boiling as she walks down the hall towards the staircase. David instantly sees her in the distance as she angrily walks down. She is wearing a striped pajama and some socks. Her hair is down, cascading down her shoulders and that's when David realizes that he likes when she keeps her hair down.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" She whispers as she steps off the last step of the staircase. Valeria turns around and faces the angry nanny. "There is a fucking baby sleeping upstairs! " Y/N shoves the baby monitor into her face. "He is three months old! He needs to sleep. You yelling around this fucking house like a madwoman doesn't help! Mr. Dobrik already asked you to leave and now I am too! Get out!" Y/N manages to whisper/yell this at her.
"This isn't your house bitch" Valeria hiccups, "Are you going to allow her to talk to me like this Davey?" She pokes at David's chest. That is the last strand for Y/N before she loses it. She couldn't believe that this woman had the nerve to poke him!
"Get out!" Y/N says again, "Get out!" she repeats as she pushes her closer to the entrance of the house. "Bye!" It's the last thing that Y/N manages to say before closing the front door of the house.
David just stands back and waits for the young nanny to say something. He honestly had no idea that she had it in her. It had also been too entertaining for him to watch her. She is tiny but powerful.
Y/N sighs and pinches the bridge of her nose. She leans against the front door of the house. She is exhausted and just wants to get in bed before Henry wakes up in a few more hours for another feeding.
"I am so sorry, Mr. Dobrik. I know that I shouldn't have gotten involved. It's just that Henry needs his sleep and she kept almost waking him up!" She stares down at her feet, feeling ashamed that she had acted that way. It felt right at the time, but David could take care of his own problems.
"Ms. Y/L/N. Look at me" He demands as he stares at the young nanny. He knows that she is probably feeling shitty and embarrassed from snapping at Valeria. She keeps her head down, finding her feet very interesting at the time. Y/N knows what's coming and she knows that David is probably going to fire her. Her eyes begin to water and she feels like bursting into tears.
David does the unimaginable in his book. He reaches out and the tips of his fingers come in contact with her delicate skin. He touches her...
Hi love! Hope you are safe. Saw that you're taing request, could you do an imagine where the reader is like David, can't leave the country but she's missing her family, so David sends tickets to their parents and surprises them? Feel free to write or not. Sending love from Brazil - ♎

That day, he stayed in his bedroom wanting to give her some privacy with her family. He also had some work to catch up with. He heard her erupt into laughter and giggles from the other room. He even remembers feeling a pang of jealousness that someone else could make her laugh just as hard as he does and in a language that he doesn’t understand. That all came to an end when the giggles turned into sobs.
“Yeah? Let’s put on some shoes then and we’ll go for a ride” He kisses her forehead before running both hands down the sides of her body trying to urge her to get up. She groans but still gets herself off him.
David waits for her at the entrance of the house. He pulls on the shirt under the sweater, that he has just yanked on as he stares at himself back through the mirror.
“Ready?” She stands on her tiptoes and plants a soft kiss on his nape before wrapping his arms around his torso. She knows she is being extra clingy with him, but she lacks comfort from people close to her.
“Yeah” Y/N mumbles, David takes his keys, phone, and wallet from the bench and shoves them into his pocket before interviewing his fingers with hers.
“Can we bring down the windows?” She asks after noticing the various colors that the sky has taken for the sunset. David doesn’t respond rather he just rolls down both windows.
“We should have taken the Ferrari” He chuckles as he watches her stretch her hand out of the window through the side mirror. He is tempted to put the car in autopilot just so he can stare at her. He sees her smile at his comment for a second before her permanent frown returns.
~~~~~~
“What flavor would you like baby?” His arms are protectively wrapped around her waist from behind. He has just ordered a vanilla cone while she has asked for a taste of two different flavors. Her hands cover his as she looks through the different tubs of ice cream, still very indecisive.
“I’ll just get cookies and cream, please”
“Good choice. Now we can share” He pecks her cheek as they both watch the man behind the counter scoot up their ice creams.
“We are sharing?” She whispers back at him. David chuckles and nuzzles his face in her neck, his slight stubble ticking her at contact. Her small hands gently push his face away as she giggles. The man behind the counter has to cough to catch their attention. Y/N takes both cones while David pays. She also takes the opportunity to steal a lick from David’s.
“Hey! I saw that!” David calls her out as he receives the change from his twenty. “Thank you — Have a good day” He smiles at the grumpy man before leaving the parlor after Y/N.
“Should we go home now?” She asks as they carefully climb back into the car, making sure not to spill or drop the ice cream.
“I thought we could go for a drive while we enjoy the ice creams and sunset” Y/N nods at her boyfriend as he begins the drive. Soft music plays on the radio as David drives down route one, right by the ocean with a beautiful view.
“We should have taken the Ferrari” It’s now her turn to say as she notices how pretty of a day it is.
“I told you” He smiles as Y/N feeds him some of her ice cream. The sunset finally comes to an end, giving David not much of a choice, but to drive back home. It is also pretty dark and cold for them to be out on the streets.
~~~~
“Thank you for today” She smiles as they exit the vehicle. David smiles as she wraps her arms around her torso and gives him a kiss with cookies and cream aftertaste. “It was a beautiful day”. It is always the little things that move her. He has grown used to it. He rarely bought her expensive gifts. He has come to realize that she loves sentimental things more than when he splurged on her.
“Anything for you, babe” David smiles as he opens the door of the house with her trailing closely behind. The lights of the house are all shut off. David closing the front door only makes the darkness more pronounced. “Can you turn on the lights, babe?” He asks from the entrance.
Y/N easily, but still very cautiously makes her towards the living room. She knows the room too well to ever trip or run over something. Plenty of drunken and slopping making out late nights with David has taught her to know the way through the house in complete darkness.
“I got it” She says before turning the switch on, illuminating the living room and revealing her parents. “Mãe? Pai?” Her voice breaks as her eyes fill with tears to the brim.
“Querida” Her mother's Portugues causes her to start sobbing. Her parents walk up to her, their arms instantly wrapping around their daughter. David stands back and shuts off the camera wanting to properly absorb the moving moment. He quickly wipes the tears that continue to stream down his face as he hears his girlfriend uncontrollably sobbing in the arms of her parents. He suddenly feels the urge to call his parents and tell them how much he loves them.
Y/N pulls back, wanting to get a good look at her parents.
“You look so beautiful!” She cries as she stares at her mother. “You look so handsome, pai” Y/N kisses her father’s cheek as she continues to hold her parents. “How? Why?” A million questions run through her mind. She still can’t believe that she finally is able to hug her parents.
“David. It was all him” Her mother says as the family turns to look at teary eye David. “Vehna filho”
“She said to come over son” David smiles as he walks up and lets the family embrace him. They all hold one another for a few more minutes until they move to the couch. They talk for hours until her parent’s excuse themselves; they exhaustion from the long flight winning them over. David had prepared the guest room for them. He wanted them to be as close as possible in case they needed one another.
“David Dobrik you fail to amaze me. Tell me, who gave you such a kind and selfless heart, huh?” She asks as she wraps her arms around his neck.
“No one should ever away from their family for so long” David gives her a small smile. He could easily feel her pain when they weren’t around. No sum of money could ever be too much to bring a family together.
