WHAT ABOUT NOW

CHAPTER SEVEN

"Dana!" A knock on my the door woke me up. It was my cousin Cara.

"Let's play!"

"In a minute honey bunny!" I yelled back. I opened the door and let her in.

"Good morning princess. What have you got in your hands?" I carried her and placed her on top of my bed.

"It's hard boiled egg, my favourite do you want some?" she says on a mouthful.

"Wait for me here I will just go to the washroom and eat breakfast with you, sounds good?" She nodded and slipped her small bum off the bed. After peeing I brushed my teeth and washed my face. It's going to be a wonderful day I believe. It's a nice sunny day. I'm excited to go galavanting in this London breeze atmosphere.

"You're ready?" she asks as she was stomping her feet on the carpet.

"Just needs to get changed in case we need to go out and play, is that ok?" she winked at me.

"You bet!" As she gave me a thumbs up. "I need to get my milk!" She left in a hurry towards the kitchen.

I opened my luggage, hmmm.. Let's see what I have here.. I can wear my converse sneakers with my jumper shorts and striped yellow and blue tank top. I let my curls hang just below my shoulders and grabbed my baby blue cap.

"Dana do you want some cereal, toast or oatmeal?" Aunt Stella asked while fixing Cara's cereal in a bowl.

"Good morning! Don't worry about me, I'll fix my breakfast myself." I stood up and started placing two raisin bread on the toaster and grabbed the peanut butter and strawberry jam. This is a perfect combination to help me get started for the day.

"Hey! Dana good morning my dear! How was your trip?" It was my Uncle Deny. He has really thick curly brown hair with a very wide forehead and wearing eyeglasses. He looks like a nerd. But he's a real hard worker that's why he can't come with us on our escapade sight seeing.

"It was fine I slept most of the trip." "I'm excited to go sight seeing today." I winked at Cara who was finishing her cereal.

"Can we get balloons and caramel popcorn later on, Mama?" She's so adorable. I bet she's just super excited as me.

"If you finish your meal, we can get it and then head to the park."

"Yippee! Thanks mama." Finishing her cereal in four big scoops. She helped herself slid off the chair and went to the bathroom.

"Do you need help, Cara?" I asked as I saw her about to brush her teeth. I excused myself on the table and helped my cousin.

I went back to the kitchen while Cara is watching tv in the living room patiently waiting for me and Aunt Stella.

"I have to get going. Don't wanna be late. Have a wonderful day Dana." Uncle Deny kissed the top of my head as he grabbed his suitcase. He sure is a busy man. Aunt Stella went to follow him at the door. After I finished my breakfast I gave my mom a call and so is Anne. I promised to do Skype later on with her, knowing she has important news to tell me.

We headed to the Buckingham Palace as Aunt Stella promised. I had a blast in there sure did a lot of selfies mostly with Cara photobombing in the side. Hah! We stayed there for an hour then head to the park to get balloons and caramel popcorn for the little one.

We headed for Ebury Square Gardens just south of Buckingham Palace. A canopy of plane trees, lilac trees, bluebells, and allium that carpet the flowerbeds. A fountain in the centre completes the idyll. It was a perfect hideaway, a nice spot to read a novel too.

Cara finally got tired after almost a whole day of galavanting. I asked Aunt Stella if I could stay out a little bit more and I promised to call her if I'm lost going back home.
