My giant rescue

Ch. 9 - What now?

I woke up to my eardrums getting blasted from his morning snores. I groaned in annoyance as I slowly started to open my eyes. I looked over at the window to see that the sun hasn't even fully risen yet. This was way too early for me to start my day. My body started shifting around trying to block the atrocities sounds coming from him but to no avail. 
"Peter," I said but to no response. "Peter... you're noisy!" but still with no response. "Why does he always gotta be like this?" While my eyes were closed I got down from my pillow bed and onto the nightstand.  My legs slowly made its way to the edge. Once there I made a small hop landing on the soft mattress on his bed. I started shuffling up to his pillow continuing until I was right beside his head. My hands started pushing him. "Peter, wake up... Peter!"
He began to shift his body towards me, his half-open eyes landed on me, and with a rough voice, he began to speak.
"Hm... did I wake you up again? I'm sorry."
He looked at me for a moment but I couldn't really make out his facial expressions from my tired eyes. I felt his hand grab me from behind and carefully he slid me inside his front pocket on his shirt. 
"You better not start snoring again." I tiredly said.
"I promise you I won't okay, night," he replied while petting my head. 
"Night..." and with that fell back to sleep. 

"Emma, Emma?" I began to hear muffled. "Come on it's almost noon, you've had plenty of time to catch up on your sleep." 
I start stretching my arms and legs and reluctantly say  "yeah I'm up," in a low voice in response. He grabs me and holds me up close to his face at eye level.  
"So sleepy pod ready to start the day," he said in a sarcastic voice fully seeing my tired face and body. He blew at my face lifting all of the hair covering my eyes. In response, I just stared coldly into his giant eyes until I flicked my pointer finger at his nose. He had tried his best to hold it in but that maneuver made him finally burst into laughter. "You really are something special huh?" he said in a genuine voice to me smiling back at him. 
He places me back on the nightstand picks up some clothes and leaves for the bathroom closing the door. I walked over to a small box filled with a few sets of clothes I had made while being here. Today wasn't gonna be anything extraordinary so I just set for a yellow dress set similar to the white dress Peter gave me. While I took off my nightdress I looked over my arms and legs. Most blue marks were already faded with only a few being barely visible. The scars were always gonna be there and even though it saddened me, it was something that I would have to get used to. At least I was finally starting to gain some body fat on my before skinny looking legs and arms. It properly helped that he was so good at cooking. It's definitely a lot better than any of the food I got back on the farm. I smiled to myself before finishing putting on the clothes. 

Peter came back in after knocking to pick me up for breakfast. While eating I could see him nervously shifting around like he was eagerly waiting for me to finish. 
"You're done?" he quickly said when I finished with the last bite. 
Laugh sweetly at him before I said "What is it goofball? Is your secret project finally done?"
"It is," he almost shouted excitedly. He puts his hand in front of me and I sit down at his palm. "Okay, now close your eyes." as he slowly begins to move around. I cover my eyes with my hands while eagerly waiting. 
He has been working on his "secret project" for quite a while now. It was only a few days after he first brought me here and as of now, it has been more than a few weeks. It must be big since it took him this long. To be quite honest no matter how excited I was at the same time I was also really scared. Ever since the first days living here he hasn't really brought the subject up again. How long was I gonna stay here? I was scared that his project might be a goodbye gift, a plan for me to move out, or something along those lines. It still upset me thinking about it because I knew he liked my company but I didn't know how long he was gonna take care of me. The time I spent with him had felt like an adventure that might just one day end. Before I would get it fully clear from him that's all I could assume for now. 
My thought stream ended as I felt him sliding me down on a hard surface. "You can open your eyes now."
