Her Unexpected Life

Chapter 39

Cereza's POV

So, besides that little hiccup with Brianna, exam week was alright.

Finally! Summer break is here! I got to spend a couple days at home first, just to relax and catch up on some sleep, go on a date with Jason.

Now, it was time to go stay with my dad. I'm nervous, but excited!

"Okay, are you sure you have everything?" Mom asked. I was preparing to leave soon, so she wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything. 

I sighed. "Yes Mom, I do." I said.

I've never been away from my mom for longer than a week before. Being in the hospital for two weeks doesn't count because she could still come visit me. I guess the same could be said for right now too. Even though, I have the option of coming home early, I'm still going to miss her.

"I'm going to miss you, Mom." I said. 

"I know, I'm going to miss you too. But, I'll be a phone call away, if you need me." She said pulling me into a hug.

We hugged for a while before I finally let Mom go. I sighed again, "Okay, I'm ready to go." I say going to grab my things.

Mom opened a portal and I walk up to it. "Here I go...." I said nervously. I looked back at Mom. "I love you." I said. 

Mom smiled and said, "I love you too, babycakes."

I walked through the portal. The moment I stepped through the other side, I was instantly blinded by all the sunlight. "It is bright here." I said.

I waited till my eyes adjusted before looking up. Dad was standing there, in his royal attire.
Dad chuckled. "Not the first thing I expected to hear, but welcome to the Kingdom of Sparks, Princess!" He exclaimed.

I smiled. "Hi Daddy!" I exclaimed rushing to hug him.

"Hi, my princess!" He exclaimed holding his arms out wide. I gave my father a big hug. I missed him a lot.

"Ready to spend some time with your old man?" He asked.

I rolled my eyes. "Dad, you're not old. If you're old, Mom's old, and my mother is not old." I said.

Dad laughed. "Yes, but we are older than you." He said lightly tapping me on the nose. I giggled.

"So, what's on the agenda today?" I asked.

"I've got the whole day planned out. First, I'll give you a tour of the kingdom, then a tour of the castle, next I'll show you where your room is, followed by a grand dinner!" Dad exclaimed.

"Sounds fun! But won't the people of the kingdom see me?" I asked.

"Well, no, we'll be driven around the kingdom by my trusted driver. However, you're not a secret anymore Cereza, so it wouldn't be an issue if they see me with you. They just don't know who you are yet." He said.

"If you say so...." I said.

"Princess, if it makes you more comfortable, we won't let anyone see you." Dad says.

"Please? I just not ready to be seen yet." I said.

"That's okay, Princess. Would you like to start the tour?" He asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"Great!" Dad exclaimed. He grabbed my bags for me and led me to a black car parked behind us.

"Will anyone recognize that it's you in this car?" I asked.

"Oh, no princess. My royal car is white and is very recognizable. This car is for when I want to get out of the castle without being noticed. I couldn't risk being followed." He said.
