I snuck around the kitchen eavesdropping on dad's phone conversation. 

"Yes,  we are moving in next week. Have everything prepared... Okay, bye".

A flood of adrelanin rushed to my heart. I grinned like a chiselled cat. Yes!  We're finally moving.  I have always hated our current apartment before we even moved in.  Five years into in and now we are moving to a better place. I have never been there before, but I have a good feeling about it. It is a place I will love. I ran up to my dad.

"Thanks Dad". He looked at me, confusing etched on his face. It was a look I don't see often, but it didn't bother me. I giggled and ran to my room.  Time to start packing?

A week later, we moved to our new house. It is magnificent  from afar and even more majestic up close. I jumped out of the car even before Uncle Kaden shut down the ignition. 

"Tinks, you shouldn't do that!". I heard my dad shout after me.  I paid him no heed as I ran into the beautiful house. My new home.  The only thing that halt my run was the big oak door. The door creaked open slightly as I pushed down on the knob.  I pushed the door further to reveal an immaculate clean and we'll furnished house. I fell in love with it the more.

"Living here is going to be great", I mumbled. 

"Don't wander off Tinks". Uncle Kaden shouted.

"I'm here, dad" I checked out all the rooms and there, I found it.

That moment, nothing else mattered.  My legs moved on their own accord. I was still staring dreamily when my dad found me.  I heard him talking, but brain just won't register what is being said. 

The feel of a hand on my shoulder jarred me out of my trance. 

"dad, I love my gift. Thank you".

"Anything for you, fairie.  Now,  you can't wander around.  It's a new house, act like it. I don't want you causing any trouble".

He said knowing fullly well that I would never ever take to that unsolicited advice. 
Dad, I have my new set of paints and brushes. What could possibly go wrong? 

...........
Oh my 😁
I can imagine some people's disappointment and I know some would want my head now😜.
What do you think was going to happen?  Where you expecting something unnatural? 
Trust me, I had the urge to make something evil happen just with that statement -what else could go wrong,  eh?
