Red Roses

Chapter Eight: Reaper, Reaper, reap what you Sow

Hey guys, I know I don't say this enough, but thank you guys so much for reading these novels and giving me reviews. 

No seriously. Thank you guys. I keep getting so many comments like, "I love Drake and Matty!" That means so much to me because these characters have been living in my head for a long time and to hear that people love them makes me so happy...

Chapter Eight: 

Reaper, Reaper, Reap what you Sow 

Daisy gasped as we sat down at the beautiful hardwood table at the restaurant that was probably the best in the house. Dad always wanted the best. "Wow, you look like your father so much." Hanuel sat next to me as he twitched and messed with the tie. The only reason Hanuel came was because I told dad I wasn't coming if he didn't come. Dad had the same blonde hair as me and was about five foot eight with blue eyes and big hands. Of course he had to wear some fancy suit that coast more than my tuition at the boarding school. 

Unicorn boy stood behind me as his eyes remained on the white lit candles. Erasmus stood next to me, grabbing my shoulder and squeezing it which I found it comforting considering everything. 

Man, I wished we could've talked yesterday, but I didn't want to leave Rose alone because I kept expecting her to fall over with her sickness and it was sort of nice to pretend for awhile that everything was normal. 

Dad's eyes flickered to me. "It's been far too long, sweetie." He shot Hanuel a glare as I sighed which dad either ignored or had that one cup of wine that made him a bit more likable. "You almost look like a woman, Matty." 

I sensed an insult and I opened my mouth to say something when Erasmus sat on the floor and rested his head on my knee. Another childhood memory and I responded with resting my hand on top of his head, threading my fingers through his royal purple hair. 

I beamed, "And you're as big a jerk as ever." Dad choked back his wine as the new woman that sat next to me stared at me and got all wide eyed. She looked like another model and looked about half his age. 

Dad frowned and then looked at Hanuel. "What are you going to do about college?" 

Hanuel jumped at the question before looking at my dad. "I'm still working on a few things, but Matty's into photography." I glared. 

Don't you drag me into this, you jerk! You're the one that wanted me here! 

"Really?" He asked. 

Erasmus pinched my leg to keep me from saying something and Daisy walked on the table, looking at my dad's wine glass. She looked at Unicorn boy and smiled. It was kind of disgusting how cutesy those two were. 

I nodded. "Yeah." 

"Do you want to work professionally?" The lady asked. 

I nodded as I looked at the nice shiny silverware. "I want to work with models." I twitched. "So when are you going to become my new mommy?" 

Hanuel yelped, "Matty!" He looked back at the couple that were somehow related to me even though we barely talked at all. I don't have a grudge, I just hated getting dragged to places like this when he wanted to look good. 

She smiled as she said, "Your dad talks about you a lot." 

My dear old dad flushed as I rolled my eyes. 

"He's told me how strong and stubborn you are. How sweet you were as a little girl." 

I looked at father. "Was that before or after the accident, father?"
