Rejecting Hope (Old Copy)

Chapter Thirty Three - "Breakfast Together Again."

     (Lacey)

         "AHHHG!!!" Letting out a fuse I kick her garage door and end up stubbing my toes since I forgot the fact that I wore sandals this morning.

                       

                                         "Shit" I hush out falling to the ground upon my butt.

 I'm holding the toes on my right foot with my left hand when I hear laughter coming from behind me.

         

          My head snaps around to find a very joyous Hope laughing at me, this gets my blood boiling.

                      "What is so damn funny?!" Looking down I can see that my toes aren't bleeding, but only throbbing now. I extend my right leg and take deep breaths to calm down when he walks over and crouches right beside me.

          "Sorry," He whispers taking my foot and setting it in his lap to examine it.

                                      "You never were the patient one were you Lacey?"

            I glare at him until he looks up at me, "What?" He questions me oh so innocently.

               I push him away with my foot and he falls over as I get back up upon my own two feet mimicking him.

            "You never were the patient one wer-, blah b-blah blah blah! Will you just wake the freaking princess up for me!? She's been asleep for the past hour now and nothing I do will wake her from her chambers! Even her window is locked and I only ever climb to her window if I'm desperate! Please Hope I'm begging you!"

        Suddenly he laughs lightly testing my anger even more, "Can't wake up Sleeping Beauty can ya? Okay I'll help you just please... don't get angry with me." He smiles as he leads me over to her door.

                 "Ha, like I can promise you that." I roll my eyes when suddenly (with a gleam in his eye might I add), he bends over moves a flower pot and takes out a key.

       "You have got to be kidding me!" I rush out as I smack my forehead at my sheer stupidity.

               He puts the key in the hole and turns it opening the door making it look as easy as saying one, two, three.

                "After you, Lacey." He smiles at me mischievously on the verge of laughter. I couldn't blame him though I was on the verge of laughter as well.

       I shove his shoulder with a smile "I hate you."

                  I laugh when he lets me through and then closes the door after me.

                                                             "I love you too Lacey."

                   He sets the key down and takes off his jacket as he walks over to the kitchen,

            "You go wake her up and I'll go make us some breakfast."

    "Already on it!" I say when I reach the fifth step, but then at that moment something stops me.

         I take a few steps back down as I look around cautiously, he said that as if he knew there wasn't any food already ready for her...
