Finding Oriana

Chapter 10

CHAPTER TEN

   It's Friday night, and I'm sitting in the passenger seat of my dad's car. He's taking me to Kaiden's birthday party at his place and honestly, I'm freaking out. They live in a huge cottage one that sits in the middle of nowhere and it's surrounded by bloody sheep. There's a shitload of sheep just looking at me. They were watching me as we drove up here, and it was a ten, minute trip of hell. I was literally in hell while he drove through the winding road, one with huge drops, and hills that lead up to his home. Oh god. I felt like crying because I'm petrified of bloody Sheep.
Sheep aside, when Kaiden took it upon himself to ask my parents if I could come here tonight. Well, my mum had taken me out the next day just to buy me a new outfit for tonight. And of course, she'd also given me the third degree, which comprised "don'ts" a lot of them to be precise. However, the main one was "Don't be silly. Don't get drunk, and if a boy asks for sex? Kick him in the balls and tell him to do one."
Obviously, I assured her I won't be sleeping with anyone. Not, anytime soon anyway. As much as Kaiden and I have messed about, and as much as I've loved it. I'm still not ready to give him part of me not yet, anyway. I still have to get to know him, and he still has to prove to me it is, only us.

"Here we are, Squirt. You can open your eyes now." My Dad, tells me while chuckling away at the freaked look that's plastered on my face.

"Are you sure there's none out there? Dad, seriously... Oh god, what if one of them wants to eat me? Dad, I think I need to leave I can't be around sheep!"
I'm panicking now. Almost hyperventilating, but he placed his hand on my arm telling me to breathe.

"Oriana, you'll be fine. The gates closed they can't get in here. So don't worry, okay? And you have my number if you need saving, just call me, okay? I'll be right here as soon as I can." I'm nodding my head trusting his words knowing he's telling me the truth.

"Okay, I can do this."
I take in another gulp of air into my lungs just trying to calm myself down.
"That is unless you want me to take you back home now? I really have no problem with doing that."
I'm chuckling and shaking my head because I know he'd be thrilled if I'd told him to turn us around.

"I'll be okay Dad, as you say I have your number. Thanks for bringing me. Well, I guess I'm glad it was you and not mum. I've already had the talk with her. I don't think I could do another."
I'm grinning when I say this. But my dad, however, is looking serious now. Oh, crap! Me and my big mouth!

"Just be careful, okay? I don't want anything to happen to you I don't even want to leave you here. Sweetheart, he... I mean the stuff I've heard? Well shit. Just be, wise. Okay? Don't fall for any sob stories. I'm trusting you to be wise okay, remember you're only seventeen."

"Eighteen in two weeks, Dad."
He sighed when I say this and I bite my lip. I see he's scared I'm going to fuck my future up by being with Kaiden. Yet, he should know me by now. He should know that I won't take any shit or be made a fool of.
"Dad... Just know this, you taught me well. Okay? I won't allow anyone to take me for a fool not ever."
I end by leaning over and placing a kiss on his cheek thanking him and telling him I love him.

"I love you too, Squirt.
Remember to call me, okay?"
With a smile, I tell him I will.
"See you in a few hours, Dad."

I open the door and feel a gust of wind run up my legs making me shiver. But the cool night air isn't the thing that makes me shiver oh no it's the sound of those bloody sheep.
I'm standing outside, looking at the huge door that stands in front of me and after giving my Dad, one last wave I nervously knock on the door.

I can hear music playing and it's loud but not too loud thank god too because I hate loud music. I hate not being able to hear myself think. I hear the sheep once again and I'm freaking out because they're not answering, which sets my panic off once again. I'm thinking that they're going to eat me and just when I'm about to run after my dad, the door suddenly swings open. This resulted in me, almost jumping out of my skin because as you know I'm freaking out.
