The Doll Lover

10. A normal life

I wake up the next morning and look at my clock. It's still morning and I step out of my bed, into the shower. I make my breakfast afterwards.

I have a date. A date.

These words float through my mind all morning. I dress myself in some jeans and a cute shirt. I put some make-up on and walk towards the coffeehouse when it's a little past one. I arrive and he is sitting there, he's real. A real, not creepy, hopefully not psychopath guy. I smile at him and wave. I walk to his table and he stands up, kisses me on my cheek and pulls the chair away from the table so I can sit down. "Hello!" I smile and sit down. "I see you already ordered coffee!" I laugh a little and he sits down next to me. "Yes I did. What would you like?" I smile and answer him. He orders a coffee for me and we talk a little. He's flirting with me, in an adorable way. I feel my cheeks get red. He compliments me and I giggle. "Well, what a gentleman are you, thank you."

After talking for at least an hour, we walk into the city. We walk into a few shops and stay in the bookstore for around an hour or two. it's around six when we are finally finished with all the shops. He's so funny! And nice... almost perfect. I get a little paranoid he might be a psychopath, but he's too sweet. We are both hungry and decide to eat something in a restaurant. The dinner is really good and we have funny, amusing and serious conversations about our lives. I feel like this might be the guy. You know, my prince on a white horse. Afterwards he pays the bill, which just shows how nice he is. We talk a lot and have a lot in common and I feel myself falling in love more and more.

We walk outside. The sky is clear so you can see a lot of stars and a beautiful perfectly round moon. "You know Kenneth, I really like this." He smiles and agrees. "Ally,there is only one thing I like more than this." I smile. "And what is it you like so much?" He lays his arm around me and whispers into my ear. "You." I lean in and kiss him. It feels like one of those movie kisses, under the stars and with a beautiful man. I love his kiss, and I never knew how much I liked kissing until now. It's not just a movie kiss, it's a kiss with the fireworks and all. And I even think he feels the same way about the kiss as I do, because after our long and loving kiss he whispers in my ear: "Do you want to get out of here?" I nod and smile at him. "I know a beautiful place to go to." I answer him as I grab his hand and walk towards my car.

I drive out of the city and when we arrive I see him smiling at me. "It is beautiful." He tells me. "It sure is, and you're not bad either." I tell him. We step out of the car and he grabs my hand again. We walk up the stairs of a beautiful old house. I open the door and we step into a large hall. Beautiful stairs lead to the second floor, and a small door to the right leads to a basement. I closes the door behind us and turn on a small, not so bright light. "Romantic, isn't it!" I tell him as I pull out a knife. He nods and turns around to look at me. He comes closer and gives me another kiss. "I really like you Ally." I smile at him and whisper in his ear. "I guess I was wrong." He looks me right in the eyes, and doesn't see the knife. "About what?" I move away from his ear and smile at him, but my smile isn't sweet anymore. "About me having a normal life." The expression on his face says it all. He is confused, but he relaxes when I lean in to kiss him. I bring my arms up to put them around his neck. But instead of feeling a beautiful, lovely kiss against his lips, he feels a sharp, breathtaking blade in his throat. "But don't worry," I whisper in his ear as he falls on his knees. "You'll have a girlfriend for the rest of your life." I smile. "It just won't be me."

I guess it is a happy ending after all. I got away, I didn't die. And The Doll Lover got what he wanted. He's a doll himself now, and I'm taking care of husband's for all the dolls he made. He was right, I am his daughter. And I will continue his work, until I'm done. I will bring men here, I will bring them a wife and I will give The Doll Lover a smile. The smile he always deserved but never got. I will be the one who puts a smile on his face.

I smile and walk away from the house, grabbing my phone and messaging a very cute and adorable boy. A huge smile fills my face as I get in the car and drive off, knowing I will be back another day with another guy. I will continue the work of The Doll Lover. I'm Anabelle, and I'm The Doll Lover's Daughter.
