I was stumbling through the darkened woods. There was no way out. I was running... running for my life. The beast was gaining on me. Only a few feet away, my heart was racing. Sweat beads down my forehead, and my breath ragged. My biggest fear is wh...
I woke up once again with the sunlight coming through my windows. I should really remember to shut my shades. I feel like my body needs more sleep however the thought of Christian coming back today made my eyes open quickly.
"Ah shit." I cussed having forgot about the light. I grabbed my pillow and covered my face. Ugh this was going to pain me. I slowly lifted the pillow off of my face and carefully squinted my eyes open.

I sighed and tossed the blankets off of my body. I walked straight towards my shower and used my coconut body wash and scrubbed everywhere. Shampoo and conditioner... check. And then shaved to be silky smooth. I turned off the shower and stepped out and grabbed my towel. I wrapped it around my body and another for my hair. I brushed my teeth and started doing my light makeup once more. I walked over to my wardrobe and decided to wear a beautiful patterned romper and simple flats. I took off the towel from my head and brushed through my hair letting it fall naturally. I felt anxious about what I would learn today but was glad that Christian would be here for my support. I felt my stomach rumble as I smelled a strong smell of pancakes cooking with *sniff* bacon on the side. Yum! I left my phone on the night stand and started jogging to the stairs and down to the kitchen.
"Good morning dad." I smiled cheerfully at him. He looked at me bewildered that I was in such a great mood. He approached me giving a kiss to my forehead.
"Good morning to you too, did you sleep well?" He asked questionably and laughed at me.
"Why yes I did. What time is it? When will Christian be here?" I asked enthusiastically and stared at the clock. 10:30am. Not too early. I sat beside him and stared at my plate in awe at the two perfectly stacked pancakes with slices of bacon crisp beside it. I licked my lips and started pouring syrup on top to seal the deal. I thanked Melissa the cook and began to eat.
"About 10:30, He had called earlier to see if you were awake, I told him you weren't, and he didn't seem pleased with my response." He chuckled.
"Oh, you could have woken me up you know. I wouldn't have mind!" I smiled as I put another bite of pancakes in my mouth. He shook his head and sipped his coffee. I noticed another plate on the other side of me.
"Is mom here yet?" I asked dreadfully. Never thought I could be this upset at my mom but there's always a first for everything I suppose.
"Nope, she too called me this morning. She should be here by noon. I am just hoping this all goes smoothly and doesn't get out of control." He sighed and ate a bite of his bacon. I nodded agreeing with his hopes! Maybe there will be a double luck for us both wanting that. I sipped my orange juice and stared back at the plate beside me. The pancakes on it were half eaten and their glass was half full...
"Um dad who is eating with us? Is Richard here?" I asked curiously and took another bite. He smirked at me and shook his head.
"Hm, nope." He sipped his coffee once again and lifted his head to behind me. I followed his eyes and there was Christian.
