Fearless Freedom

Chapter nineteen

I kept my eyes closed when I woke up. Today, I thought, today is my last day. No, yesterday was, today I'm leaving!

"Is she up yet?"

"I don't know!"

"Can someone wake her?"

"Sure, but Dominic, get out of here before I kick you out!"

Someone pokes my shoulder, "That's not going to wake her, M'Lady."

I hear someone sigh, my leg is yanked up then smacked back down. "Ouch!" I scream and sit upright.

Anne, Adele and Sofia and laughing at me. Sofia has tears in her eyes and hugs me.

I join in laughing, knowing today I'm leaving, why harsher the mood?

"Aww! Val!" Adele hugs my other side and starts to cry, "I'm going to miss you to much!"

I laugh, "I'm going to miss you ,too, Adele."

Anne taps her shoe and looks at the clock, "We have lots to do today!"

"Aw fine, let's get to work." I get up to go get my apron.

"No no no!" they all push me back down, "We planned a fun filled day. From eight O'Clock to twelve O'Clock, we have the morning with you. Then from twelve to eight in the evening, you get to be with..." Adele giggles, Anne blushes and Sofia scowls, "Matthew!"

My heart flutters, I thought they were going to say Dom.

"Look, she wants to be with Dom, not Matthew," Sofia hits Adele up side the head, "I told you!"

I now can tell that Sofia and Adele's relationship is much more then just employer maid relationship. "Well, she always gushes about him!"

I laugh, "I like Spencer."

They all look confused, "Who the heck is Spencer? Is there another guy!"

"No, that's Matthews last name!"

"Ohhh!" at the same time, Anne and Sofia grab both my hands and yank me out the door. "Fun fun fun!"

I'm dragged down to the servants hall where Angelo is putting finishing touches on a cake. It's a small circular vanilla cake with white icing and shredded chocolate on top. Even thought it looks so simple and rushed, tears spring to my eyes, "You guys!"

They all rap me into a hug. "We were going to sing a song but," Angelo shoots Anne a playful glare, "Someone said we shouldn't."

"It's perfect!"

We all take a piece and dig in. I would never say it out loud, but the cake was awful. It was to salty and had a strange nutty flavor that I knew was not supposed to be there. The icing was way to sticky and the chocolate was crunchy. But the thought was all that counted!

"That was delicious!" I lie, sitting back and licking my lips.

"It looks it!" Sofia whines, jumping in her chair.

"Ha ha! One of the many doubts of being a Vampire!" I tease.

She scowls and picks up a blob of icing. She shoots it to my head and, sadly, she has great aim. I frown and smudge batter that was left in the bowl into her soft hair.

"It's on now!" she laughs and grabs a spoon of the beef we were going to have for supper. I scream and run down the hall. I hear her footsteps running after me. "You can run... and you can hide, but I will get you!"

I laugh and run up the stairs to the great hall. "Oof."

I fall to the floor when I bump into something stiff yet soft at the same time.

"What the heck were you guys doing?"

I look up and see Dom. As soon as my eyes make contact with his, a cloud of red falls onto my face, "Eww! That's not fair!"

Sofia laughs and picks up the beef, "It is in my rule book!"

I growl, "Your rule book is stupid."

"Good one!" Sofia mutters sarcastically and skips down the hall singing, "Im the best at everything! No one can beet me!"

"Need a hand?" Dom extends his hand to me and grabs mine.

"Thanks." I mutter, feeling hurt all over again.

"Um, so, about last night, when I said about 'moving on' and stuff," he puts his hands in his pockets, "It doesn't mean I don't like you."

"I agree. We should move on. It all makes sense. You have Courtney and I have Matthew." he glares at the name.

"Why are you still seeing him. He's not good enough for you Val."

I shale my head.

"No he's not!"

"Well he's better then you!" I shout, frustrated.

"No." he states, "You like me. I- I- I know it."

I laugh without humor and walk away. What's wrong with me? He basically said he wasn't sure if he wanted to get together and I flipped him off. And for crying out loud, I love the guy!

"Val, why does this have to be so hard!" he walks beside me but not to close.

I shrug.

"I mean, I like you... a lot. You maybe like me, we'll see, and if you do it's perfect!"

I shrug.

"Just, tell me if I'm wasting my time." he looks hopefully at me.

I shrug.

" Ok, See ya. Maybe we can hang out after your done with the girls?"

I ignore him. Again, what's wrong with me!?

"Or do you have plans with 'Matthew'" he makes his voice all high and squeaky when he says Matthew.

"I do. Yes in fact, i do. And if it's anything like our last date, I will have lots of fun!" I shake with what he must think is anger. But I don't know what it is.

"Bye, Val." he walks away.

I'm sure it's just my imagination, but I swear I see him brush away a tear when he leaves.

I love you! I want to scream.

"Well, that was fun guys! Thank you so much!" I hug Adele and Anne each in turn. I make my way over to Sofia who is standing unnaturally still.

"Valerie, I'm gonna miss you!" she pulls me in for a hug and sobs. "Promise me when you get back from your trip, you'll come visit me."

I nod and cry into her shoulder. She laughs, but chokes on her sobs.

"Sorry ladies, my turn with Parker!" Matthew pulls me into him and away from Sofia.

"Parker?" Adele asks.

"That's her last name we made up." I giggle and he kisses my nose.

"Ew, gross, bye." Adele laughs and walks away. Anne and Sofia fallow her, both with salty water spilling from there eyes.

"Okay, let's go." he puts his hand in mine and takes me to the wagon. "I want to show you the boat I got you."

"You got me a boat!?" I gap.

"I'm not going to let you swim through the ocean." he laughs, "I got you a crew. I'm sorry, it's only about three people, but it's such short notice!"

I bite my lip and cry, "Matthew."

"You'll see, and you'll love it."
