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?
