Today was finally the day. Dad's coming. I got ready by wearing a light blue silky dress, shoes to match it, and a headband with a bow, with pearls in the middle. I took a deep breath, and went to call auntie, who was dressed in a shirt that says "HAPPY TODAY" and a smiley face on it. She also wore jeans, and high heels. "Wait, Gemma." She handed me a bouquet of flowers. "Give this to your dad. He would love it!" I smiled at auntie. "Thank you, auntie."
Auntie drove me to the airport. When we were there, I opened the car door and ran as fast as I could to the airport door. "Wait, Gemma!! Aren't you going to wait for me..." Auntie's voice faded away as I ran into the airport and searched for dad. "How.. Can.. You.. Run.. So.. Fast...?" Auntie gasped and keeled down when she reached me. "He should be here any minute!" Also, she squealed. Really loud. People started to look at her as she blushed. "Oops!" She muttered. I sighed, and searched again in the crowd. Just then, I spotted a familiar shadow. Could it be dad? I glanced at him, shocked when I figured out who it was. It was Carson! "Carson? Why are you here?????" He gasped. "Gemma?" We shouted together then: "I didn't know you were here!" "Ah, Gemma! Who are you waiting for? We are waiting for his dad to come home!" Carson's mom noticed me, and said. "We are waiting for her dad." Auntie came and said calmly. My heart pounded along as we chatted. Will dad even BE here?
The airport's about to close... Carson has reunite with his dad, but ours? Still not here yet. "Hmm..." Auntie wondered aloud as we waited, with all the people that worked in the airport started to go home, one by one. A few minutes later everybody's gone.. Just us waiting. "The airport will close in 1 minute." The speaker said as we still waited, didn't want to let the last minute go away. "Let's go.. He'll be here tomorrow." Auntie held my hand as we walked out the airport. How can he not come? Why? Is the plane delayed? What happened?? I keep having questions popping out in my head. I bet auntie knows that I was sad, so we rode home in silence.
Hi! I decided to make the parts a little bit longer. The next chapter's title won't be "Dad! (Part 3, featuring Gemma)". It will be Carson's point of view. I'm going to figure out what to do with it. So wait for the next chapter~~
