19-Sneaking.
Arianna POV.
I was feeling much better waking up this morning, I could see Scar still in my room, I could see him, is he here for real or I’m just having another one of my dreams, maybe my fever is still too high. I looked at him and he looked back, looking me right in the eye, but he didn’t say anything yet, I must be hallucinating, I hate being sick.
“You’re awake little bat?” papa says walking inside my room without knocking as usual, he never knocks, I gasped, worried, wanting to sit up and hide Scar, but he didn’t see him, he just looked at me, checking my fever.
“Papa stop it, I’m good” I say after he keeps on fussing over me, I tried to push his hands away, I’m good, I don’t need any help.
“Stop it little girl, you’re staying in bed today” he orders me, but I’m not a child, I looked at scar who just smiled at us.
“Dad, I’m an adult, I get to decide for myself,” I say annoyed, sometimes he just forget that I’m old now.
“I don’t care little miss, you are still my little baby, and I’m saying that you have to stay in bed for the day” he orders me, not allowing me to object or tell him I’m old again, he just pushes me down in bed, covering me up.
“I’ll go get you breakfast, stay” he orders leaving the room, I looked over at Scar who’s laughing at me! He’s freaking laughing!
“What are you so happy about?” I ask him all mad now.
“Once you are with me, I won’t let you out of bed either, I’ll just spoil you with breakfast in bed every day, especially when sick,” he says making me blush, it’s romantic and sick in the same time.
“I thought I could only see you in my dreams,” I say looking at him with a raised brow, papa couldn’t see him, but I can.
“I told you I’m there for you little fox,” he says, he’s hunting me for sure, I might have to do a second round in the books in the library, just to be sure.
“Yes, my private ghost, is your name Casper by any chance?” I ask him feeling all smart, if he had a face, he’d roll his eyes at me, but good thing he didn’t, I just fell on my back laughing at him.
“Funny,” he says not at all happy or entertained by me, but I was laughing.
“Are we going to meet today?” I ask him but before he got the chance to answer my papa came back with my breakfast, I had real food, I ate the food under his watchful gaze, and kicked him out of the room, wanting my privacy.
“I don’t think they’re going to let you out of this room,” he says with too much amusement, my torture is a fun time for him.
“I have my ways, we meet out or not?” I ask him, I just want to get with him, I just want to see him and talk some real talk, I want to know if he’s a ghost that’s hunting me or just some kind of my imagination.
“If you can get out, sure” he says entertained, god, can’t I wait to meet with him in real life and kick his bum for teasing me and making me think I’m crazy!
“I’m gonna get out, and you’re gonna regret it!” I threaten him, getting out of bed and getting ready for the day, I got dressed, not in same clothes as he requested, those are dirty now.
“What do you think?” I ask him, done with dressing up, I chose a pair of overalls, and a long shirt underneath it, that would help me sneak out.
“Perfect, we’ll meet in the park” he says leaving me alone in my room.
First I had to create a distraction, I sneaked out of my room toward the corridor, it’s where most of the grown-up stays, including my parents, best way to cause havoc, I threw a vase on the floor, it went down with splashing the whole floor with glass, having a great breaking sound. Perfect, I took off running now, knowing they’ll be busy with who broke it, who’s gonna clean it, too busy to check on me, I ran out to the backdoor.
I can’t leave from the front door, instead I left through the backyard, the fence had a small tear in it, I could crawl out, or I can climb out, I’m strong enough to do that and not get caught, no one is looking which is perfect for me, I jumped out and started running toward the park.
