Hey I’m looking for a fic where the Sheriff leaves Beacon Hills (I think to get treatment because of him being an alcoholic). It’s shortly after Stiles’ mom dies. So Stiles stays with the Hales. I do remember that the Hales are not the biggest fans of the Sheriff because he didn’t communicate with Stiles enough. Also I think that Peter had to tell Stiles that his father is not coming back. I’m pretty sure it’s a Sterek fic. It’s not Moonburnt Kiss. Thank you!
@kevaaronday thinks it could be this one!
Tumblr media
The Hale House of Mythical Creatures by Demimonde (teakturn)
(23/23 I 51,802 I Mature I Sterek)
Stiles is eight when his mom dies.
Stiles is eight when his dad drops him off on the Hale's front porch and then leaves him there.
This is the story of a little lost Spark growing up in a place that might have been made for him all along.

Sorry! I just don’t even know, but I tend to run away from bad parent Sheriff fics.
Can anyone help with this one?
ellexa1622 found this one. Thank you!!!

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 25
Tumblr media
December 31st
DeeDee sat at her desk. Her email inbox opened on her computer. She was staring at multiple offers from some of the schools she visited. Baylor, Texas A&M, Arizona State and two more in California - Berkeley and UC Davis.
They all wanted her. She couldn’t believe it. All that worry and for nothing. Now, the biggest decision she needed to make was where to go. It sucked that she couldn’t even tell her friends -- friend. And Erik, she had been trying to tell him but never could.
She went straight to work and home, and barely found the time to text him back most days. DeeDee missed him. A lot. And there was so much she wanted to say but she still wasn’t sure how to navigate their situation. 
Her phone rang and she smiled as she picked it up. “Hey Mama!” 
“Hey Baby. How are you?”
“I’m good. Just thinking.”
“Well, I’m glad everything is alright. Nobody heard from you after you left on Christmas. Wanted to make sure you was good.”
“Yeah, I dealt with Phyllis and Beverly on Saturday.”
“How did that go?”
“Our friendship is over.”
“Beverly, too, huh?”
“I know and it sucks that it had to be that way.” She huffed, “All I wanted was their support. They should have been the first ones cheering me on instead of holding my career against me.”
“Don’t worry about them. It is their issue and not yours.” Miss Carrie went on, “You just love them from afar. It’s all you can do.”
“I know, I know.”
“You heard from Erik?”
“No. Well not exactly.”
“What happened?”
“Nothing happened. We just haven’t had time to talk to one another.”
“He doesn’t or you don’t?”
“Me. But I mean I have been texting him.”
“Texting? Girl, if you don’t give that man a call.”
“I have. I promise you that I have.” She shrugged, “We just keep missing one another.” 
“Uh huh. Then go to him.”
“Mama. About that.” DeeDee twirled around in her chair, “Do you have a moment?”
“Of course, baby. What’s on your mind?” 
---
Erik spent the morning in his office looking over the final paperwork for the Science Mentorship program. While he was gone two more schools signed up to offer the opportunity to their students. He looked at his phone for the twelfth time in 20 minutes. DeeDee said she would call him today at 3. And he failed to have her tell him what time zone.
It had been three days, three long days. He missed her call when he first got back home. And when he finally called, she wasn’t available to talk. His only contact with her had been their usual good morning text messages. They kept missing each other and he was over it. When he texted her in the morning, he asked her to let him know a good time to talk. She said 3.
Erik just wanted to hear her voice. He didn’t think that he would miss her so much. He was sitting at lunch with T’Challa and just picked at his steak.
“What’s bothering you, Erik?”
“I have found the woman for me, and she may be afraid to move forward with our relationship.” He shrugged.
“And you know this because?”
“She told me.” Erik dropped the fork, “Ok, so she didn’t say it like that but I know she has a lot on her plate as she makes major career decisions.”
“So, she really just needs time.”
“Yeah. And I know that.” He picked up his drink and took a sip. “I just didn’t think I was so eager for this to happen, T.”
T’Challa laughed, “She’s why you keep looking at your phone?”
“Yeah, we were supposed to talk at 3.” He looked at the time, “I guess she meant PST.”
“So, she’s it then. For you?”
“Yeah, my heart and soul. Just like I said I wanted.” 
His phone buzzed on the table. He frowned at it then hit ignore. 
“So you believe it can work?” 
Erik laughed, “She asked me the same thing.” He looked at his cousin, “I know it can, but she has to know it like I do.” He sighed, “I can’t force her to see that. So, I just wait.” 
“Impatiently.”
“Yeah. But at least, I have my work to keep me busy.”
T’Challa nodded at him, “I'm sure it will all work out for the both of you.” 
“From your lips to God’s ears.”
---
DeeDee stood in front of the mirror of her room. She was in her favorite pair of black jeans, a mauve peplum top and matching peep-toe booties. She had her long curls down and around her shoulders. It was just casual enough for the trip she had planned for the day.
She grabbed her bag and made her way downstairs. She jumped onto the elevator, pressing the button for the lobby. She had a few errands to run and then one stop downtown. DeeDee looked at her phone and her early morning conversation with Erik. 
Prince Erik: Good morning Beautiful
DeeDee 💜: Morning E
Prince Erik: Do you have time to talk today?
DeeDee 💜: Yeah. Sure, I can call you around 3 pm.
Prince Erik: Great. I can’t wait to hear your voice.
DeeDee 💜: I know.
Prince Erik: What was that?
DeeDee 💜: I mean, I can’t wait to hear yours too.
Prince Erik: Oh ok. 😏
DeeDee 💜: 🤓 I gotta run but I’ll talk to you later. 
Prince Erik: Until Later 
She realized she never told him if it was his or her time. 
The elevator dinged opening the door, then DeeDee walked through the lobby and out the door into the midday sun. 
---
DeeDee entered the building and stood in the center lobby looking around. The place was huge. She wasn’t even sure what floor the office was on. She walked over to the directory and searched for it. She tapped the plexiglass when she found what she was looking for. 
“Hello.” An accented male voice called out.
She looked beside her and saw a man in a black suit with a midnight purple shirt on. DeeDee pointed at herself.
“Yes, you.” He walked over.
“Can I help you?”
“Oh no. I found what I was looking for. But thank you.”
“Well, at least let me escort you up.”
“Ummm, sure.” DeeDee shrugged. “I guess.”
“Are you here to see someone?”
She smiled as he held the elevator door for her. 
“Yes, I am.”
“He must be one lucky man.”
DeeDee laughed, “I think I’m the lucky one.” 
“Is he expecting you?”
“No, it’s a -- Well, I’m a surprise.”
She leaned over and pressed the executive floor button.
T’Challa looked at her, then coughed, “Erik?”
“Huh?” She questioned.
“Excuse me.” He cleared his throat, “I meant are you here for Erik?”
“Yeah, actually I am. How did you know?”
“Call it a hunch. But I can take you to him.”
“Thank you. I’d appreciate that.” 
“So, what’s your name?”
“I’m DeeDee.”
“Nice to meet you, DeeDee. I’m T’Challa.” He put his hand out. 
DeeDee shook it and then looked up at him. “Did you say T’Challa?”
She dropped his hand when he nodded at her.
“As in King T’Challa?”
He continued to nod.
“You’re his cousin.”
He laughed at her stunned expression, “Yes, I am.”
DeeDee shyly waved at him, “Hi.”
The elevator opened onto the floor. And T’Challa linked DeeDee’s arm through his. 
“T’Challa, there you are. We need to talk.”
“Not right now. I am delivering a gift.”
“What? That doesn’t make any sense.”
“Shuri, not now.” His voice rose.
“T’Challa, who is this?”
“If you follow me and stay quiet, you will find out.”
T’Challa led DeeDee across the floor to a corner office. 
“Here you go.”
“Thank you, King T’Challa.”
“The pleasure was all mine.”
DeeDee walked over to the door and stopped.
“Well, what are you waiting for?” Shuri asked. 
T’Challa bumped her, “Shhhh.”
DeeDee looked down at her watch, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
“Yeah, come in.” Erik’s voice rang through the door.
DeeDee smiled back at T’Challa and Shuri, then opened the door and walked inside.
“T, can it wait? I told you she was supposed to call me at 3.” His voice was tense.
“Did I really say that?”
Erik looked up from his desk. “DeeDee,” he breathed out.
“Hi Erik.” She waved to him.
His shoulders fell as he visibly relaxed. Erik stood up and greeted her with a big hug and kiss. He pulled her further into the office with him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I came to see you. I made some decisions and I wanted to tell you about them.”
Erik leaned back on his desk with DeeDee in his arms. 
“You could have just called me?” 
“I know, but I missed you and I figured we could spend our first New Year’s together.” 
“First, huh?” 
DeeDee twirled his tie around her fingers. 
“Yeah, you’ll be seeing a whole lot more of me.” 
“Oh yeah?” 
“Uh huh,” she dropped his tie and focused on him. “I accepted a position at Berkeley, starting in the Fall.”
DeeDee squealed as Erik snatched her up and swung her around. DeeDee draped her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around him. He continued to hold her as he slowed down the turning. 
“Are you serious? You’re moving to Cali?” 
She nodded and smiled brightly at him, “I’ll be just up the road.” 
T’Challa and Shuri ran into the office when they heard all the yelling. They watched as Erik put DeeDee down. 
“What’s going on?” 
“She’s coming home,” Erik stood behind her with his arms around her waist, “My heart is coming home…to stay.”
A/N: We have come to the end of Erik and DeeDee’s story. And I just want to thank everyone who has supported this story. 
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 13
Tumblr media
A/N: Yes, this is another update since I fell behind. ENJOY!!! Back to our regularly scheduled program later this evening. 
December 6th
DeeDee swore off going out with her friends for a while. Phyllis was getting on her nerves and Beverly could only do so much. DeeDee didn’t even understand the hostility that was coming from her best friend. And now was not the time for her to be stressed out by shit she couldn’t control, like her best friend’s actions and reactions. So, it was time for a break and to focus on more important things, like her defense presentation. 
She had chosen her PowerPoint background weeks ago. She drafted her presentation outline weeks ago. But she hadn’t yet put any of it together, even with all the time she spent in the library. Then again, the last time she was studying there, she found Erik’s note.  
“Oh crap,” DeeDee grabbed her phone off the charger and saw multiple messages from him.
Prince Erik: Good morning Miss DeeDee
Prince Erik: I hope you have a good day and get some rest. You definitely need it. 😘
Prince Erik: Good night DeeDee
Prince Erik: Enjoy your day Miss DeeDee 
Including a voice message, “Damn.” 
VM: Sleeping Beauty
Do you know that you talk in your sleep? I learned quite a bit from you when you fell asleep mid-sentence last night. 
Don’t worry, I won’t hold any of it against you...unless that is what you really want. Then what the lady wants, the lady gets. 
I won’t tell you how long I stayed on the phone after you knocked out, but I’m sure that your phone probably died after I ended the call. 
Whenever you get up, hit me up. I have some questions for you, pretty lady. 
Later
After that eventful night out with Beverly and Phyllis, all she remembered was drunk dialing him, him answering the phone and then nothing else until she woke up late the next afternoon with a dead phone. She put it on the charger, but never checked any of her alerts and went right back to sleep until this morning.
DeeDee picked up her phone and went to her recording app. She didn’t want to flood his phone responding to his texts. And since he usually worked on weekends, she decided to send him a voice message instead. 
She walked over to her patio door, opened the curtains and sat down at her desk. DeeDee opened up her laptop and pulled up all the documents she would need. It was time to get to work. Less than 2 weeks until D-Day. 
---
Erik looked down at his phone for the umpteenth time that day and then walked the floor. It was weird, he hadn’t heard anything from DeeDee since he hung up on her Friday night. She was gone gone and yet, she still tried to talk to him. A sleepy drunk. He thought it was cute but he knew that hangover was gonna be a killer. 
He hoped that she was ok. He still sent his usual text messages but he also sent a voice one because she said somethings that had him thinking. And it is said that ‘a drunk mouth speaks a sober mind.’ If that holds true, DeeDee laid herself bare in the most beautiful way, and yet she may not remember any of it. What a shame.
Erik moved to stand by the window of his office, while DeeDee’s words took up residence in his mind. He stopped focusing on his weekly reports an hour ago. His impression of DeeDee and the reality that each day his feelings about her being the one for him became stronger and stronger, cradled her very words to him from the night before. 
A loud buzzing sound against his wooden desk, halted his wayward thoughts. He walked over and picked it up. It was a voice message from DeeDee. He unlocked his phone and opened it. 
VM: Greetings From Louisiana
Good morning Erik, 
I can’t believe you let me go to sleep on you the other night and didn’t say anything. Anyways, since I have no recollection of what I said, take it with a grain of salt. Please and thank you. 
Sorry for not responding to anything yesterday. I just slept the day away in recovery. Nothing stronger than wine for me for a while.
I do hope you are free to talk tonight. I may not have much time over the next week or so as I prepare my final presentation for my dissertation. But I really enjoy talking to you and don’t want to miss out. 
I’m probably rambling again. So, yeah. Just let me know if you have time and we can go from there.
Byeeee
Her voice always brought a smile to his face. He logged off his computer, grabbed his briefcase and locked up his office. He would have stayed there if she called, but since she didn’t, it gave him the perfect out. He could work from home and still talk to her until she needed to go. 
---
DeeDee had just finished putting her talking points into her presentation file, when her cell phone rang. Erik. He must have gotten her message. She saved the file and opened the application. 
“Hi Mr. Erik.”
“Hello Miss DeeDee.”
“I missed hearing that.” She said shyly. 
“Oh, you did? Could have fooled me.”
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what? I’m not the one who said hi, some other stuff and then passed the hell out on the phone.” He shrugged even though she couldn’t see it. “I mean, I know I can put you to sleep, but that is not how I would do it.”
“You know what?” She started to laugh.
“What?”
“I can’t stand you.” 
“Uh huh.” His voice was calm. “Lie again Miss DeeDee.” 
“I’m not. I mean it.” DeeDee stomped her foot on the floor. 
Erik laughed, “If you say so. But I think you feel differently about me.”
“Sir, remember I do not know what I said. I don’t remember anything after calling you.”
“And slurring my name?”
DeeDee groans, “So, that did happen?”
“Heeeeeeey Erik,” he mimicked her tone. 
“Oh my god.” 
“It was cute though. It lets me know you were thinking of me even when you were completely out of it.”
“I promised to call you when I got home.” 
He paused, “You know what, you did honor my request to hear from you to let me know that you made it home safely.” 
“Exactly.”
“So, it seemed like you had a very fun evening.”
“Nah, I wouldn’t say that.” DeeDee sighed, “One of my best friends who seemed excited for me to look for you, is now acting really funny towards me and I don’t understand it.”
“Funny how?”
“Well, can I share something with you?”
“DeeDee, you know you don’t have to ask that. If you want to tell me anything, I will listen.”
“Thanks E.” She curled her legs under her in the desk chair. “Remember how I said that I knew my career would take me away? You know traveling and experiencing the world and such.”
“Yeah.”
“Well, I haven’t told anyone that I have applied for tenure-track positions far away from Louisiana.” She exhaled deeply. “I got upset when she said that I would never leave here, among other things. But at that same time, it hit me that I never told them that I wanted to leave. So, they have just always assumed I would be around for whatever.”
“I see. So, what about your other friend who was with you both.”
“Oh, she’s fine. They both want me to live life, but she is the only one who appears to really support it. So, I know she will be fine when and if I do leave.”
“You mean, when you leave.”
“From your lips, to God’s ears. I have gone through many interviews, but the waiting game is a lot for me to deal with.”
“I understand that. But just focus on your defense. The full-time position will come.” 
“I know, and besides, there is always a postdoctoral fellowship too. And those look great on CVs.”
“Exactly. You can apply for one of those and work at another school until you find the school that fits you.”
“Yeah, that’s true. But Dr. O and Dr. Bell both think that I don’t have to worry and will get an offer my first time out.”
“I believe that, too. You are a bright woman, DeeDee. Any school would be lucky to have you.”
“Thank you, Erik.”
“You’re welcome.” Erik took a deep breath, “Speaking of Dr. Bell. I will be at her retirement party in a few weeks.”
“Really?” DeeDee squeaked into the phone, “I am so sorry that I keep yelling in your ear like that.”
“It’s ok. I knew to pull it away this time.”
“So, what does that mean?”
“Well, I was hoping that we could meet and you let me take you out while I’m in town. What do you say?”
“I would love that.”
“Good, so it’s a date?”
“It’s a date.” DeeDee giggled.

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 10
Tumblr media
November 24th
Erik texted DeeDee later in the evening after he got off work but they were unable to have another lengthy conversation. Over the next few days, he found himself missing her voice and just wanting to talk to her about her day, what she was up to, anything really. 
He didn’t realize how much he missed having that kind of connection with someone who wasn’t his family. Of course, he also never pictured finding someone at all. With all that he had been through and seen. He knew if it wasn’t like what he saw between his parents, then he didn’t want it. 
Oddly enough, right when he gave up on finding his once-in-a-lifetime -- someone showed up and challenged his beliefs. Now, he wanted to make sure that if she really was it for him, that he deserved her. But he also needed to talk this out because it was consuming his every thought. 
It was Tuesday morning and he was in a meeting with T’Challa and Shuri about their current expansion project. His mind going where it usually did -- thoughts of DeeDee. 
“Erik, did you get the numbers for the other warehouse?” T’Challa asked. 
“Will you just ask him, who it is? I’m sick of this.” Shuri complained. 
They had watched Erik for the last few days and something was going on, but he kept it close to the vest. He always seemed a bit sad around the holidays. But this year, he was acting differently and that was a cause for concern.
“Erik.” T’Challa clapped his hands to get his attention.
“Huh, what?” Erik glanced around the room confused. “Did I miss something?”
“Brother, just ask him. If you don’t I will.” Shuri spoke up. 
“Ask me what?”
“Do you -”
“Shuri!” T’Challa stopped her with a glare. “What’s on your mind, Erik?”
“Nothing. I’m good.” 
“And he lies to our faces.” Shuri threw her hands up. “Give us some credit, cousin.”
“Erik, you are physically here but your mind has been elsewhere since Sunday.” 
“So, who is she?” 
“Why do you think it is a woman?” Erik sat back in his chair. 
“As business oriented as you are, it’s not about work.” 
“When your phone buzzes, you check it immediately.” Shuri crossed her arms over her chest. 
At that moment, Erik’s phone vibrated against the glass table and the three cousins broke out in laughter. 
“Alright, give me a moment.” He picked up the ringing phone, and left the conference room. “Hello.” He whispered.
“Hey, did I catch you at a bad time?”
“Nah, we were just taking a break.”
“Erik, your voice was low like you walked out.” DeeDee scolded. “Did you leave your meeting to talk to me?”
“Maybe, maybe not.”
The line was silent. Erik looked at the phone, and knew they were still connected. 
“DeeDee?”
“Answer the question, Mr. Erik.”
“Yes and no.”
“Ok, now I’m confused.”
“My cousins were asking some questions, I wasn’t ready to answer yet. Then you called and I used it as my out.”
“Uh huh, ok.” DeeDee sighed into the phone. “Call me, when you actually break for lunch. I’m free for the rest of the day.”
“DeeDee -”
“No, work comes first, Mr. And if you’re good, then we chat.” She chastised him.  
“That’s not fair.” Erik pouted, “I want to talk to you.”
“And if you do what you need to do, you can. So, go back and have a productive meeting.” 
“Ugh, fine. I’ll go, but I’m gonna text you.”
“And I won’t answer.”
“Seriously?”
“Try me.”
“This is cruel and unusual punishment.”
“How? You wouldn’t think that if you didn’t spend your entire Saturday night with me.”
“That was just as much you as it was me.” 
“And I am still doing what I need to in the meantime. Can you say the same?”
Erik looked through the window into the conference room where he should be meeting with his cousins. He rolled his eyes, “You make a good point.” 
“I know. Now, go. And I don’t expect to hear from you until after 2pm your time, got it.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Bye Mr. Erik.” DeeDee ended the call. 
He looked at his phone and tried to wipe the grin from his face. But as he walked back into the room, it broke across his face.
“He is like a schoolboy with a crush.” Shuri said when he walked in.
“She must be something because you are giddy.”
“Have you pushed her down or pulled her hair yet?”
“Okay, you can stop with that Shuri.”
“But am I wrong?”
Erik took his seat, then started opening and closing his fists. “Someone found my note.”
“What note?” 
“You mean ‘the note’?” T’Challa took a seat. “The one that talks of your parents’ love?”
“Yeah, that one.”
“How did you find out?”
“Marquis heard about someone searching for me on campus. Turns out she is one of his doctoral students.”
“What note?” Shuri, annoyed at being ignored, asked them.
“Erik wrote a note about wanting to find the type of love his parents had. Left it in a book, by accident, and apparently someone has found it.” T’Challa looked at him, “How did she find you?”
“I honestly never asked. I just know that when Quis mentioned it to me, it was a message from another faculty member, who had met her. I told him to give her my address and we spent last week talking via email.”
“But that did not look like an email, when you were outside.”
“This past weekend, we chatted via a video call. I asked for her number before it ended.”
“Interesting.”
“Cousin, I have never seen you so gone over a woman before.”Shuri commented, “What makes her so different?”
“For one, she deciphered the three hidden words on the note. Anyone could have done it, but to read it and then look for the person who wrote it. It intrigued me and well, she intrigues me, too.”

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 15
Tumblr media
December 16th
Erik was at home. He shopped a bit online for some last minute presents and was finishing up some projects before he headed down to Baton Rouge. He planned to stay through Christmas, so he could visit everyone while he was there. He mainly missed his godchildren, especially his favorite little girl, Jasmine. But he was definitely ready to see DeeDee in person. 
He looked at the screenshot he took when she finally dropped her hood from their first chat. She could no longer hide behind the screen and her hoodies. And he was ready to be around her for a significant amount of time. Erik knew that spending time with her would confirm what he already felt. Maybe he’d discover how she felt about him, too. 
His tablet rang, distorting the view of DeeDee in her Southern gear. 
“Hey Quis.”
“Hey man, you ready for this weekend?”
“Yes, I am. I cannot wait to see my favorite girl?”
“Which one?”
“Excuse me?”
“Nah, you mentioned someone the last time we talked and I want to know more about her. Especially since you made her sound like the one and I haven’t heard you talk like that in years.”
“You really want to know?”
“Yes, really.” Marquis laughed, “Besides, I got to explain to Jasmine, who is coming for her spot.”
“Man, no one is taking Jazzie’s spot. She just isn’t the only one who has me wrapped around her finger anymore.”
“Ok then, I want to know. Tell me about her.”
“Nothing to tell.” Erik paused, “You already know her.”
Marquis pointed at himself and shook his head. “I know her?”
“Yes, you put her in touch with me.”
Marquis scrunched his face, “Wait, DeeDee?”
Erik nodded at him. 
“Seriously?” Marquis’ voice rose, “I mean obviously she sent you an email, but how did it get to you believing she could be it?”
“You remember my stupid note?” Erik emphasized the word, stupid.
“The one from O Chem in undergrad, yeah, yeah, yeah.”
“DeeDee found it.”
“How? I thought you lost it.”
“In a library book that I returned.” 
Marquis laughed, “She never read any of your articles, did she?” He tapped his temple, “No wonder, she was shocked when I gave her a copy of your application manual.”
“Not a one, until now.” Erik’s whole body shook with laughter, “And I can’t believe you did that.”
“What? I figured it would have been professional curiosity, but now I know she was thinking about you. Ewww.”
“Man, shut up. She looked for me because she was curious about the person who wrote the note.
“Well, she was definitely one of my best research assistants. So, I’m not surprised she was able to track you down, but wow.”
“Who you tellin’? I was not expecting that at all either. So, you know I was curious to find out what kind of person would search for me. And here we are.”
“So? You really think she is?”
“That she is what?”
Marquis lifted his eyebrow.
Erik shifted the video and pulled up her picture, “Yeah, I really think so.”
“You remember what happened the last time you thought that?”
“Yeah, I do. But trust me, this is much different than that.”
“How can you be so sure, E?”
“It’s in how she makes me feel. Hell, in how she acts with me. Everything just comes naturally when we chat. It’s not forced on either side, and I’m not trying too hard or trying to be someone I’m not.”
“No, you didn’t? I know how you naturally are with women. DeeDee doesn’t seem like the kind to respond to ‘your’ jokes.” 
Erik smirked and stroked his beard, “Quis, I hate to break it to you, but you know DeeDee, the student. I have gotten to know DeeDee, the woman. You don’t need to know about that.”
“Yeah, you can stop right there. Thank you very much.” Marquis shuddered, “So, does she know you are coming to Dr. Bell’s retirement party?”
“Yeah, I told her. And I even asked her out.”
“Oooh, look at you.” Marquis heard something and looked behind him. “I gotta go put the little princess to bed. Call me when you make it into town.”
“I will. Tell the princess, I will see her soon.” 
“Of course, she’s been ready to see Uncle E again. Later man.”
“Later Quis.”
Erik ended the call and put DeeDee’s picture on full screen. “I’m coming for you, too.”
---
 The phone rang and rang, so he left her a message. 
VM: 12/16 - 10:30pm   
Hey you, 
I figured you might be doing a last minute rehearsal for your defense this week. Or sleeping. I hope everything goes well. I wish I could be there for you. But I know you got this. We will celebrate when I see you. 
Good night Miss DeeDee
---
DeeDee woke up in the middle of the night and saw a blinking light. She didn’t get a ‘Good night’ text from Erik, but she assumed he was letting her study and prepare for Friday. 
She picked up her phone and saw a missed call from him. She played the message he left and grinned.
In just a few days, she was going to see him face-to-face. The thought of that had her just as excited and nervous as her upcoming presentation. What would she say when she saw him? What would he be wearing? She jumped up from her bed and ran to her closet. She pulled the dress out and hung it up on her closet door. 
“No need to avoid wearing this anymore.”

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 12
Tumblr media
December 4th
DeeDee promised to make up for missing brunch with the girls. So, they made plans to go out to the hookah spot on a Friday night. She looked in her closet and glanced at herself in the mirror and sighed. Phyllis sent her directions to wear something cute, read: a dress, because she picked the one spot with a dress code. 
She looked at the red dress that Phyllis pulled for the club the other night. “Nope.” 
She hung it back up and pulled out a little black dress. It was something that the girls talked her into for a bachelorette party a year ago. The dress had a scooped neckline, cap sleeves and flared out at the waist, so it stopped right above her knees. 
DeeDee twirled around with the dress in front of her in the mirror. “This will have to do.” She added some black tights and her favorite burgundy Mary Jane platforms and laid the dress on her bed. 
She was in the bathroom when the music that was playing stopped and her phone buzzed. She looked down at the call, smiled and hit ‘Ignore,’ then returned to finishing her makeup. The phone buzzed again with a text message alert. 
Prince Erik: You don’t want to talk to me? 😕
DeeDee 💜: I told you I’m going out tonight. 
Prince Erik: Ok, and? We can talk before you go out.
DeeDee 💜: You aren’t slick, E. That was not a regular call.
Prince Erik:  I mean, I wanted to see what you decided to wear. 🤷🏾‍♂️
DeeDee 💜: Erik…
Prince Erik: Yes, Miss DeeDee
DeeDee 💜: No.
Prince Erik: Well, you can’t blame me for trying.
DeeDee 💜: You get an E for Effort.
DeeDee 💜: Don’t you dare reply to that. 🤐 
Prince Erik: I’m tryna get you to take this…
DeeDee 💜: Damnit, E. 🤦🏾‍♀️
Prince Erik: My bad, but I do love how you don’t call me Mr. Erik anymore. 😁
DeeDee 💜: I could go back at anytime, Sir. 
Prince Erik: Oh, here you go. Well, let me know when you get home. You know I’ll be up.
DeeDee 💜: Uh huh, good night Erik. 
Prince Erik: Sending me to bed? Fine, I’ll take a nap before you call. 
Prince Erik: Goodbye Miss DeeDee...for now. 
DeeDee put her phone down and used the big smile on her face to add some blush to her cheeks. She was definitely smiling a lot more these days and Erik had a lot to do with it. Things shifted between them after that awkward encounter with Brandon. She was used to the ‘Good morning’ and ‘Good night’ texts from him. But since then, he’s been sending cute voice or video messages where he wished her a good day. She couldn’t say that she didn’t look forward to those, just as much as his phone calls.
And then she thought he looked good in just a hoodie and sweats, but Erik in a suit was just plain sin. DeeDee often sent up prayers of thanks for his fitness regime and his tailor, because damn. She may or may not have saved a few for, uh, research purposes.
Fully made up, she moved back into her room and put on her dress and shoes. She picked up her phone and snapped a few selfies in the mirror. DeeDee had just posted a few when her phone buzzed in her hand; it was the group chat. Phyllis and Beverly  were outside in the Lyft.

“You are still coming to my defense presentation, right?” DeeDee asked as their drinks and hookah arrived.
“Of course, we wouldn’t miss it.” Beverly responded while she added lit coals to their strawberry and pineapple hookah. 
“What is the date again?” Phyllis looked at DeeDee. 
“Two weeks from today, the 18th.” 
“Yeah, yeah. I requested that off. So, we’re good.” 
“Great, then we can do dinner or something. What do you think?” 
“You know it!” 
“Duh!” Phyll and Bev exclaimed together. 
They picked up their drinks and clinked them together. 
“We gotta celebrate, our friend, the good doctor.” Phyllis added.
“Thanks Phylly Phyll.” 
“Hey, no hard feelings right?” She nudged DeeDee’s shoulder. “I just want you to be careful.”
“Phyll, I wouldn’t have made the call, if I didn’t think it was a good idea.”
“I know, we should trust you more.”
“We??? Speak for yourself. I’m happy if DeeDee made a new friend. Whatever it turns into. I’m here for it.” Beverly interjected before taking the first hit.
“Thanks Bev. But really, he is a good friend. So, I am just enjoying what we have right now.”
“As you should, Dee. Besides, it’s not like you’ll meet -”
Beverly bumped Phyllis’ shoulder and hissed. “Shut up.” 
“But think about it, DeeDee’s never leaving Louisiana and I doubt he would come back here to visit.”
“Phyll!” 
“Can we stop the whole DeeDee will be single forever talk, please?”
“But that’s not true. What about Breanna’s little brother?”
“Brandon! Absolutely not.” DeeDee rolled her eyes at them, “Besides, I think he’ll finally leave me alone now.” She looked at her phone and smiled.
“What happened?”
“Doesn’t matter. Just know, that was not and never would be an option for me.”
Their wings arrived and DeeDee dug in. 
“DeeDee, you good?”
“Yeah, you know I love these wings.” She said around a mouthful.
“Uh huh.”
“Phyll, leave her alone.” Beverly pushed a plate towards her. “She’s happy living her life as she is. We should be happy for her.”
“I am happy for her.”
“Are you really?”
“Yeah, yeah.” Phyllis added wings to her plate and sat back.

Erik woke up to his tablet ringing. “Hello.” He sat up in bed and lifted it up as he rubbed at his face.
“Ewww, Daddy. Uncle E is naked.” A little voice called out.
Erik looked at the screen and saw Jasmine and Marquis both with disgusted looks on their faces. 
“My bad, Jazzie bear. Hold on.” He grabbed the hoodie next to him and threw it on. “Better?”
“Yes, thank you.” Jasmine replied. 
Erik laughed at her politeness. It reminded him of another woman who had him wrapped around her finger. And she probably doesn’t even know it. He looked at the time, she wouldn’t be home from her night out with her friends yet. But at least, he will be awake when she hits him up. 
“What about me?” Quis spoke up.
“What about you?” Erik shook his head and focused his attention to his goddaughter, “Hi Jazzie bear. And to what do I owe this honor?”
“Daddy, said that you were coming to visit in a few weeks. Is that true?”
“Yes, it is. A good friend of ours is having a party and I promised your dad I would be there.”
“Are you coming to see us, too?”
“Of course, princess. I can’t call that a visit without seeing one of my favorite girls.”
“But I thought I was your only favorite?” Jasmine pouted on the screen.
“Did I? My mistake.” Erik bowed his head towards her.
“Uh huh. Well, I can’t wait to see you Uncle E.” 
“I can’t wait to see you either sweetheart.” 
“Daddy let me down.” Jasmine squirmed out of Marquis’ lap, “You two can talk now. Night Uncle E.”
“Good night Jazzie bear.”
Marquis followed Jasmine out of the room and closed the door behind her.
“One of your favorite girls? I didn’t know you were dating again.”
“Total recall ass nigga.” Erik whispered.
“Not my fault, you slipped up in front of your only favorite girl.” Marquis used air quotes for only. “You knew she would pick up on that. But now, I’m asking.”
“I’m not dating anyone yet.”
“Yet? So, she has potential? Glad to hear that.”
“She has the potential to be so much more than just my girl, Quis.” Erik sighed, “She could be the one I called for.”
“Called for? E, are you talking about that note you wrote in O Chem?” Marquis laughed.
“Yes, that note. I meant every single word of it, too.” Erik flipped him off. “Just because you found Serena while you were in school, doesn’t mean anything.”
“Hey, hey. Who am I to knock anything? If you think you found her, I’m happy for you. You deserve to have that kind of love in your life.”
“Thank you, man.”
“So, when do we get to meet her?”
“Here’s the thing, I have to meet her first.” Erik watched Marquis’ expression. “I know, I know, but we met online, so you know.”
“Uh huh, please tell me you know what she looks like.”
“I do. Trust, I was able to verify that.” Erik’s cell started to ring. He saw it was DeeDee and smiled. “Hey Quis, look that’s her now. So, I’mma go. But I will let you know when I get to Baton Rouge.”
“Alright, man. Good night. And tell the mystery lady that your best friend said hi.”
“Will do.” Erik ended the call on his tablet and picked up his phone. “Hello Miss DeeDee.”
“Heeeeeeey Erik,” DeeDee slurred into the phone. 
Erik could already tell what kind of call this would be. He gave it 15 minutes before she was softly snoring in his ear again. No problem, he was wide awake now.

All I Want... 25 Days of Christmas Challenge, Day 11
Tumblr media
November 30th
Thanksgiving came and went, yet Erik and DeeDee stayed in touch as much as possible. DeeDee was focused on wrapping up the semester and preparing for a new life outside of the classroom. While Erik was completely emerged in the current expansion project and meeting end of the year deadlines. 
It was always a great time whenever they could find the time to talk with one another. Erik continued to relentlessly flirt with a not-so-innocent DeeDee who gave just as good as she got. 
The more Erik got to know about her, the more he was certain of his growing feelings towards her. He only hoped that she reciprocated them and on the same level. 
He decided to take Monday off since he had been working over the weekend and wanted to make himself available to talk to DeeDee. It had been about two days since they spoke and he missed her, which felt normal to him these days. 
Prince Erik: Good morning Miss DeeDee. 
DeeDee 💜: Good afternoon Mr. Erik. 
Prince Erik: I wanted to know if you might have time to talk this evening.
DeeDee 💜: Yes, I do since I am not working tonight. Just call me when you are available. 
Prince Erik: Great. I’ll talk to you later. Have a wonderful day. 
DeeDee 💜: I look forward to it. Thank you, and same to you.  
DeeDee smiled as she put her phone away and adjusted herself on the stool. She was in one of Dr. O’s Organic Chemistry classes, helping out with the day’s lab. She waved bye as the students walked past her and left their lab reports on the back counter. Without fail, Brandon stopped in front of her, dangling his paper.  
“So, when are you gonna let me take you out Miss DeeDee?”
DeeDee cringed and tried to keep the pleasant smile on her face. She had gotten so used to Erik calling her that, and hearing someone else address her by that name gave her pause. She grabbed paper and put it on the growing pile.
“We’ve been over this, Brandon. I’m not interested.” 
“Why not? Look at me.” He splayed his hands out, presenting himself to her. “I am a great catch.”
DeeDee rubbed her temples. She hated coming to this class for this reason. Brandon was the little brother of one of the students in her doctoral cohort. They all started their journey together and unfortunately, she gained his attention after a late night study group session.
“I’m not doing this today. Thank you for turning in your lab report.”
“You know I’m not gonna stop until you say yes, right?” 
“I wish you would stop because I hate to break it to you, but you will be waiting indefinitely. It’s not happening.”
“Why not? We all know you aren’t dating anyone.”
“Excuse me? How is that any of your business?” DeeDee whisper-yelled to him; she grabbed her backpack and headed to the front of the room. “Dr. O. I’ll see you later. I need to go.” 
Brandon rushed out after her. “Hey, Hey. Wait a second, I didn’t mean to offend you or anything, DeeDee.”
“Brandon, please leave me alone.”   
“DeeDee -”
A phone started to ring.
She reached for her cell from her back pocket. Grateful for the interruption, she immediately answered, “Hello.”
“Hello Miss DeeDee.”
“Erik,” She swooned. “What a pleasant surprise.”
“You knew I was gonna call.”
“Yeah, but not this early. Can you hold for just a moment?” DeeDee barely covered the phone when she turned her attention back to Brandon, “We are done here.”
“But Miss DeeDee -”
“Please do not call me that.” She snapped at him. 
“My bad. Look DeeDee, maybe we got off on the wrong foot here.”
“No, we did not. You just won’t accept no for an answer, and that’s very disrespectful to me.”
Brandon opened his mouth to speak when Dr. O walked by and looked between the two of them.
“Everything good here?” No one said anything or moved. Dr. O sighed, “Brandon, what did I tell you about hitting on my GAs? No one comes to my class anymore because of you.”
Brandon stared at the ground while DeeDee stood with her phone in her hand.
“I gotta go. You two have a good day.” 
“Yeah, I’ll see you tomorrow for our weekly, DeeDee.” Dr. O glanced at Brandon, “Follow me to my office, we need to talk. NOW.”
DeeDee ran-walked down the hall and out onto the patio of the lab building. 
“Erik?” She spoke into the phone, “You still there?” 
“I am. Are you ok?”
“Yeah, I’m good. Sorry, you had to hear that.”
“You have nothing to apologize for. I’m definitely glad I called when I did. Sounds like you needed the distraction.”
“I did, I do. Thank you,” she rambled.
“Hey, why don’t you find a place to sit and we can just chill until you are ready to go.”
“I’m outside of the Engineering building now.”
“Do they still have those benches in the corner near the wall?”
“They do. That’s actually my favorite place to chill when I am here.”
“Then let’s go have a seat.”
DeeDee walked over to the bench and put her backpack on the wall. She sat against her backpack and pulled her legs up and crossed them.
“You settled?”
“Yeah.”
“I want to share something with you. And then whenever you are ready to talk, just let me know.”
“Ok.”
“So, remember the program I was telling you about, where we would be working with grad students from nearby schools?”
“Yeah, your mentorship program for students in advanced science classes.”
“That’s the one. We received notice today that 3 local universities accepted the offers to work with us.”
“Erik, that’s great news! I am so happy for you and the Center.” DeeDee yelled into the phone and then pulled away. “Oh, I’m so sorry.”
“No, no it’s ok. Your excitement matched mine when I first heard the news.” Erik told her. “It was a great way to start my day. I mean, outside of knowing that I would talk to you.”
“Awwww, you are just saying that.” DeeDee said and bit her lip, but the smile came through anyway.
“Why don’t you believe me when I say that?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you. I am just not used to hearing that.” 
“Uh huh. This coming from the woman who has students chasing after her.”
“First of all, Brandon, is a whole entire mess.” DeeDee rolled her eyes and laughed, “And he doesn’t count.”
“Okay, if you say so.” He paused. “But, is it ok for me to still call you Miss DeeDee?”
“Shut up! You are the reason, I don’t want to hear him call me that anymore.” 
“Is that so?”
“Yes, it is.” DeeDee jumped up from the bench, “Care to keep me company, while I head home?”
“Do you really have to ask?” 
“I didn’t want to impose, Mr. Erik.”
“Trust me. You will never have that problem, Miss DeeDee.”
