Always with You

(Our world)

Turns out I lost, after tripping on one of the steps. So I'm stuck with doing the chores, but hey, at least I get to hide the keys."Oh, you missed a spot." I look up at my dad who was relaxing on the couch whilst I was dusting off the the mantle of the lavish fireplace in the parlor. "Haha funny." I say sarcastically, and blow dust off the duster,into his face.

"Hey it's not my fault you weren't watching where you were stepping." He gestures to my left calf that had a gash in it. After he got to the door, he turned around to find me on the ground. He walked me inside and we wrapped it."Are you sure you don't want any-""NO! I will not have you make our bet uneven. Besides I'm almost done anyway, and I don't want you having to hide half of the keys."

He stands up off the couch with his hands raised up in surrender. Giving a kiddish grin. After he knows he can't get me to budge he walks into the kitchen. Probably getting some ice cream. My thoughts are confirmed, when I hear the fridge door open. 

After I finished dusting, I decided I'd go give myself the pleasure of exploring a little bit of the house. I walk out of the parlor, and to the stairs that were situated A couple of steps in front of the door. the entryway floor was a warm shade of brown wood. Right against the stairs is a book shelf, surprisingly there are still books in it.

Shaking my thoughts out my head I run up the stairs...Well at least try to run. The railing of the stairs was a dark mahogany wood, with the posts shaped as roots of a tree. This house was beautiful, I don't see why John sold it. Once at the top of the stairs, I looked to my left, than my right there was a window at each end of the hallway. It didn't stop there though, both ends weren't ends they were intersections of what probably shaped a square of doors for the whole up stairs.
​​Oh boy, I didn't realise I would be hiding so many keys. Oh well, it'll be fun.

"Meridyth!" I here a frustrated voice from downstairs. I hurry and limp my way down the stairs as fast as I could. Walking into a torn apart kitchen with open cabinets, and empty drawers. Looking over to my dad I give him a annoyed look."What are you doing?"he gives me with a relieved look."Where did you put the bowls and the spoons?"

"Uck, your such a child." I tell him sarcastically.

"I haven't even unpacked them yet." I tell him as I walk over to the box with our dishes in it I pulled him and I a bowl, and a spoon out. I slide it down the kitchen island as if we were a bar and he was ordering a beer.

​​​​I walk over by him and sit on one of the wooden stools. He opens the Rocky Road giving me three scoops, and of course he gives himself four." So did you decide?" I look up at him confused while scooping a spoonful of chunky cold ice cream into my mouth."Dedide wat?" I ask with a full mouth. He gives me a big grin and stuffs his face."Bwhere your boing to hide da keyth." He asks with eyebrows raised.

"Let's just say were going to be locked out of most of the house for a while." I chuckle. After we had finish our delicious ice cream, we moved to the parlor, with the sun setting it gave off a beautiful aurora of orange in the room. I settle myself into the regal white couch, that was centered in the room and right in front of the fireplace. Dad sunk into the cushion next to me, and put his arm around my shoulders.

I look up at him to find him staring at me. Most importantly the wolf tooth around my neck.

"Have I ever told you how I met your mom?" I give a amused smile and decide to play along, because I know I'm never going to stop hearing this story." No, never." To get ready for a romantic love story I cross my legs, and plop them on the coffee table.

"My friends dared me to go talk to her." You know hearing this, makes me wonder how many times I have." And of course I did." I smile and ask." And what did you say?" Just to make the story go faster. " Hi." Hi all he said was, hi. Ha I bet she could see how nervous he was. You would think a my 17 year old dad would think of something smarter to say.

"I was so nervous. She could probably see it." told ya. " I didn't know what to say to break the awkward silence. So I turned around and decided to go, because I thought that was embarassing." " But then you did know what to say dad, you turned back around stuck your hand out, and introduced yourself." I say to while looking at him. " Then at that moment was a new start for both of your lives. Tada!" I end with shaking my hands. 

He laughs." So why are you telling me this story for one thousandth and one time?" He laughs. " Have you been counting or something because I would recall that, was the one thousandth and fifth time." I roll my eyes, And shove him the shoulder. He falls over and rolls himself to the wood floor, groaning in "pain" He is so weird. " My arm! I think you broke it!" He looks at me with his famous kiddish grin and chuckles.

"You know what I'm not gonna deal with this." I say sarcastically with a smile. I stand up and start to walk away." Oh no you don't!" Before I make it to the entryway he grabs my left ankle and I fall. Oh no not this. " Dad! Don't you dare" I give him a mad look, And of course that doesn't stop him. He quickly crawls over to my stomach, and starts to tickle me.

"Ha! Stop! Heehee! Argh! Stop dad!" I try to tell him to stop but the laughter over comes me. Eventually he stops and turns on his back and is facing the ceiling like I was."So what brought up the subject of you meeting mom?" He shifts himself to were he was propped on his elbow. "That wolf tooth you have around your neck." he points to it."I made it for her during one of our meetings." I give him a comforting smile.

"I miss her smile, I wish she was here." He looks down at me and gives me a comforting smile and nods."Meridyth as long as you remember her love, and kindness She will always be with you."
