I'm A Woman

I'm A Woman

Chapter 5

Simon's POV

   That morning... 

   Demi takes Delilah to school because of the two of us, I am the more sleep deprived one. Demi tried puling me out of bed three times and I wouldn't budge. I gently threw a pillow at her. Needless to say, she got the message pretty quickly. I would have taken Delilah, but I had to get out of bed twice more after the two am incident to her room to make sure she was asleep. Part of it was because she kept making bird noises and the other part of it was due to paranoia. 

   Demi's POV

    Delilah was one big ball of energy just as she was throughout the night on the ride to school. I could barely get her buckled in her car seat. She even kicked me in the shin. I know she didn't mean to, but it caused me a bit of pain. She's a strong kicker and is getting legs like her dad. When we finally got to school, she jumped out of the car in the biggest rush into school. I couldn't help but laugh. She has one of those cartoonish runs. It's hilarious and just adds to her charm.

     I pull into the driveway and let myself into the house. I put my keys in the tray near the door and head up to the bedroom. Now just a warning I happen to own a bullhorn. Don't ask why, but it's come in handy over the years. Simon absolutely hates it, which is all the more reason to have it. I never use it to scare Delilah though. That would just be cruel. 

    I quietly pull the bullhorn out of my closet and turn it on. "Old man, wake up!" He jumps up within a second. His eyes are bugging out of his head and his skin is pale. When he sees me hunched over laughing, he frowns. "Demi, that's not funny. You know I hate that damn thing. Why do you still have it?" I force myself to take a deep breath. "This is my revenge for you not coming with me to take Delilah to school. If you get to sleep in, I should get that luxury." He rolls his eyes. "Demi you do realize that I'm like super old compared to you and I get tired more easily." I put my hands on my hips. "Well I'm a woman so I win that argument automatically." 

    He sighs. "Fine Demi you win. You can sleep in tomorrow. Deal?" He holds out his hand for me to grab and shake. "Deal."
