The Late Night Visit

The Weirdest Morning

I tell Christina about what he told me and she screamed down the hall about how cute and romantic it was, she wouldn’t shut up about it! I tell my dad I’ll be out with friends on Saturday, so I’ll keep in touch. Well it’s Friday now and I’m freaking out about what I’m going to wear, what he’ll think about it, and what I should say to him. I go and buy a long-sleeve shirt that has skulls all over it with a long v cut and black skinny jeans with roses embroidered on the back pockets. I paint my nails black with a slash of electric neon yellow and I get a black bow with a red rose in the middle. I set them out for the big day. I think to myself YAY! I wake up early in the morning and straighten my hair. I say good morning to my dad, make breakfast for us, and then he heads off for work. I put in my CD of Tickle Me Pink and start doing my make-up. I start singing to Typical using my hairbrush as a microphone, suddenly my doorbell rings. I jump and look through the peephole and see it's just girl scouts trying to sell cookies, but I don’t answer because I don’t feel right. I think to myself, They don’t look normal. I watch them walk away and then I understand why I didn’t feel right about them. They had men in black suits following them like bodyguards. I run and make sure every door and window is locked.  I dash, get the cell and call Rodrigo. “Are you alright?” he asks with concern as if I was in a car crash. I say,” Yes, of course, why wouldn’t I be? He says,” You need to be careful from now on.” “What! Why?? You haven’t done anything wrong…. Have you?”I ask with concern and curiosity. The line goes silent for awhile then he says,” No,nothing comes to mind.” he changes the subject and then we say goodbye. We meet around 7:35 in front of the movie theater, we go see the Uninvited. After the movie we go walking towards the park and I see the dim light of the candles. I think to myself, as I put a Sour patch kid in my mouth, Is this really happening? He says,” Bon appétit have as much as you like.”  "Did you make all of this? It’s unbelievable!” I ask. He nods and takes a seat. I quietly take a bite of what is set out infront of me and can't help but say, "Yum!" He starts laughing like crazy and I ask,” What’s so funny?” ”Your face!” He exclaims through laughter. “ You are so messed up!”I exclaim. He just cracks up even more, but he strides over to me and hugs me. He whispers in my ear,” Ok, please don’t be mad, don’t leave me not again, I’ve waited for so long to see you once more.” I find myself whispering an ok and I hug him back. Well at least I know he won’t ever harm me. I start to walk home, but I hear something following me. I start running as fast as I can to my house. Later, I stop to see if anyone is following, but I see no one. Once I get home, I tell my dad that I was going straight to bed, he didn’t object to it. It must’ve been written all over my face, so I went upstairs and fell asleep.
