Floating In The Sky

Chapter 12

I woke up as fresh as a daisy, knowing that for five days I would be away from this city. Away from Tiago.

It was six in the morning. Four hours till freedom. At exactly seven, Tiago stormed into my room saying to make breakfast for him.

I really don't want to do anything but I unwillingly prepare him breakfast. After he had his meal, he walked to the fridge and locked it. I won't be needing it.

He took his luggage and grumpily went out of the house and slammmed the door as I heard a click assuring me that the door is lock. I hear the engine of the car, start and go away as I run to my room.

"Have a great vaca, Willow." I whispered.

It's almost ten, I wear a sleeveless, dark blue, button down shirt paired up with cropped jeans. I took my back pack and exited through my balcony landing on a trampoline. God, why can't these thoughts leave me?

I walked out to the front of my house to see a brown Landcruiser. I got in the front seat and sighed. "Quick question, where did you get a car?" I looked at him. He was wearing black jeans and red sport shirt. It all matched perfectly with his watch which he always wore and a pair of shades.

"My mother bought me this for my twentieth birthday, which is a week away." He said as he drove.

"How much time?"

"Two hours."

I groaned."How did you ask permission from your mother and especially Kate?"

"Mom/Kate, I want to spend my birthday with my friends Simon and William. Is it okay for you? Easy as that. What is your excuse?"

"Ti-My father has gone for a business trip to California, he doesn't know about this. I bet you don't have Simon and William as friends." He shook his head. "You are so bad."

"You, yourself are so badass. I mean you didn't even inform him."

"He doesn't need to know where I go. It's my life. I get to choose where I should go-" I start stating the reasons.

"Okay, I get it." He cuts me.

"Where are we going to stay?"

"Hotel." He replied, casually.

"Stop the car!" I yelled.

The car immediately came to a halt jerking us both forward. I quickly unbuckled the seatbelt and angrily got out of the car walking the opposite dirction, away from him."Where are you going?" He said getting out and coming after me.

"Home," I said.

"It will take you one hour and besides we are in the middle of nowhere." I don't listen to him and continue to walk. "What's wrong with you?" He said yanking my arm so I am facing him.

"Wrong with me? What is wrong with you? If you think you are going to take me to this trip and expect me to live in a hotel. 'Cause I am not. I am going for a hike." I spit. "This means we are going to live in a tent."

"I was kidding I have a tent. Jeez." He starts walking to the car. I stay frozen. "Are you coming or not?" I don't answer and start to walk towards the car.
