Chapter 2: Petals of Love - page 2

Before I could finish the sentence properly, Suzzie dashed off through the hallway and made an appearance at her room in a flash. Anxious to know the surprise, Suzzie took a deep breath before she opened the door. As I looked on, it was almost like I could hear her heart pounding with excitement. In that moment Suzzie rushed inside as her shadow faded behind her. She ran to her dressing table cupboard and took a sharp look into mirror only to realize that the first glance she took was as expected; a beautiful orchid flower carefully decorated her curly hair. Suzzie thought to herself, “Those orchid flowers are mom's favorite, but why dad would give one to me, I am only eight years old".

Slowing Suzzie's excitement was falling; but the suspense grew stronger. Suzzie began to wonder as she sat at the edge of her bed, plucking out the orchid petals as they fall to the ground like confetti at a birthday bash. With every orchid petal that fell to the ground represented a father love for his daughter as it spreads far and never dies but little Suzzie was too young to understand it completely. Eventually, nothing but the stem of the orchid remains in her hands as stared angrily at the petals on the ground. Thought flood her tiny minds like a river flowing into the ocean. Looking on at the petal, Suzzie realize that there was something different about her room floor; there were glitters on some petals and on the floor that were not there before. But that was just the first clue. As Suzzie looked on, she realizes that there is a trail of glitters that leads to a pink, sparking box at the corner of her dressing table. As quick as a strike of lightening, Suzzie flashed over to the box, anxious but jet still excited as she gently took the box cover off.

"Wooooooow", screamed Suzzie in amazement. Glitters and sparkles reflected in her eyes as began shouting, singing and dancing with songs of joy that filled her heart. So caught up in the moment, little Suzzie had no idea that her parents were looking on at her for quite a while. Even though she may have glimpsed them, that didn't stop her from busting her moves as she do her little happy dance. But it was only a matter of times before questions arise since they seem to be on little Suzzie mind frequently. Eventually Suzzie stopped her dancing and started prancing over to her mother. On her way she made a pit stop and collected the box and then continued on hoping and skipping into her mother's arms.

"Mummy, Mummy!!” shouted little Suzzie Moore. "Daddy bought me a new pair of skates", muttered Suzzie, as she ran up to her mother. "Can I go play, can I go mummy!” Suzzie screamed in excitement. Samantha looked at me hoping that I would have a say in this conversation, but before I can utter a word she already knew what was on my mind as she gazed lustily into my eyes; it was as if she could see to my soul and capture it. "Yes my little angel, you can go play in the front yard sweedy but don't be long", said Samantha with such loving voice", you know mummy worry sweetheart". "Yeah", Suzzie screamed out loud as she hugged her mother so tightly showing love and affection.
