Mommy licked her lips nervously but didn't say anything in response.
"Well?" Mr. Mikaelson said in that pretty, teasing tone of his. "Are we going to stand here all day? Or are you going to let me in, darling?"
Mommy gulped and moved aside, waving her arm in a 'come in' gesture. She still didn't speak. Mr. Mikaelson struts into the room confidently, his hands in the pockets of his jean jacket. His eyes flickered around the room, to my suitcase, before settling on me.
The smirk that was on his face grew. "Hello there."
"Hello sir."
"Aren't you a pretty little thing?" His eyes danced as he spoke. I really liked the funny way he talked.
I blush pink. He thought I was pretty? I look away from his face, ducking my head down. He chuckled warmly. Mr. Mikaelson was in a good mood. Just like he was last night.
"Come here, little darling." He said invitingly.
I hesitated. Then got off the couch and made my way over. He knelt down on one knee when I got there. I looked into his dark brown eyes and smiled shyly.
He gave me a friendly smile back. "Why don't tell me your name?"
"Melissa Flora Wattcan."
"That's lovely. You can call me Kol."
I got to know his first name without even asking! I know a Cole, there's a boy in my class with that name.
"Thank you, Mr. Kol. How did you meet Mommy?" Speaking of my mommy, she's staring at the both of us. Why is she being so quiet? She hasn't said one word since he got here.
Is she scared? Is she mad? Is she going to try to make him let me stay?
"I was walking down the street, minding my own business, when out of bloody nowhere your mother flies around a corner and slams right into me." He says energetically, waving a hand around for emphasis. He was a very good story teller. He had my full attention. "The hot drink she was carrying spilled all over me."
My eyes widen. That must've hurt. "What happened next? What did you do?"
"I swore." He answered simply, face playful.
I snickered.
"Where are you taking my daughter?" A voice cuts in sharply. Mommy finally speaks.
Mr. Kol stands up and turns to her with a wicked expression. "Wherever I damn well please."
Mommy's jaw tightens, her lips press into a line. Mr. Kol puts a hand up to his ear and tilts his head to the side slightly.
"If there is something you want to say, darling, say it." He sounded teasing. I couldn't be sure though. Is he playing? Or is he being mean to Mommy?
Mr. Kol is a strange man. I've never met anyone like him before. I wanna know where he's taking me, but I don't speak up to ask. I decide I'll ask him in the car. Are we going very far? Is it going to be nice there? Am I going to be allowed to play? I hope I'm not going to have to stay inside all the time. Is it going to be just me and Mr. Kol?
I feel an arm grab my arm gently, but firmly, and I look up. Then I stare at Mommy.
Mommy doesn't say anything back and he grins. "As much fun as this has been. It's time to hit the road."
He walks to the door, a hand still on my arm, forcing me to walk with him. I grab my suitcase while keeping my eyes on Mommy.
A frown pulls at my lips. "Bye Mommy, I love you."
"I love you too, Missy Bug." Everything about her looks sad, from her slumped body to her watery eyes.
I'm looking at her the whole walk until Mr. Kol closes the front door behind us.
We walk quietly to the fancy-looking red car in the driveway. Mr. Kol takes my suitcase and puts it in the trunk. When that's done, he walks around and opens the door for me.
"Hop on in and buckle yourself up, little darling."
I obey him, climbing into the backseat of the car. I notice there's a booster seat and buckle myself in. By the time I'm done, Mr. Kol is already in the driver's seat and starting the car. He puts one hand on the passenger seat as he twists around to look at me. His brown eyes locked with my light purple.
"Turn that frown upside down. It's going to be alright. We're going to have fun, you and I."
"Where are we going?" I ask, hoping he'll answer.
"A hotel to start with, it has a pool you can swim in. Do you like to swim?"
"Yes sir. Why are we going to a hotel?" Is his house far away? Are we even gonna go to his house at all this whole visit?
He turns back around without replying and starts to drive. I look out the window at my house and yard. There's no telling when I'm coming back. The house gets smaller and smaller, until I can't see it anymore.
Mr. Kol doesn't answer my question. He drums his fingers on the steering wheel and hums a tune I've never heard. I look at him for a second before looking back out the window. The scenery blurs we're going so fast. How far away is the hotel? Will he let me call my mommy while I'm with him if I want too?
