Daughter of Wonderland
Chapter One
"Mikey," I grumbled " I cannot figure out for the life of me what to wear. " We were sorting through the mound of clothes on my bed, hoping that one of them was date worthy.
Mikey gave a shrug, his shoulder moving slightly under heavy fabric. "The Alice I knew would just go in jeans and a tank top. Why make a big fuss over it now? You guys have gone out plenty of times before."
I sighed. He brought up a great point but it wasn't just any other date we've gone on. I was hoping this was 'the date' the one that changes everything. The one where he will finally say "I want you to be mine and only mine." I felt cliche down to my very core and this time it didn't bother me.
"Well-" I mumbled, fiddling with a blouse "I was hoping something would happen tonight is all."
Mikey raised his eyebrows questioningly "Oh really?"
"Not like that perve." Mikey tossed a pair of shimmery boots my way, chuckling to himself.
To me Mikey was my father, regardless of what others told me. He'd been my caretaker since birth, working on my mothers staff for many years. Taking care of me, treating me like I was his own offspring. He is a very special person in my life will always be my daddy and best friend.
Getting out of the house was easy, getting out of the house without my mother knowning was a pain in my ass. Every maid in our 2.5 million british castle would rat me out in a heartbeat. I would have to be stealthy.
Which meant crawling on hands a knees through the foyer, stepping out a window onto the top of the garage, and climbing down a spruce tree. Very difficult stuff for someone who doesn't do it every weekend. I then shifted my hair into neutral and rolled down the driveway until it was safe to turn my car on.
