Chapter 9
I have been in a daze since last night, my heart beats faster every time I think of what happen. I know he was only proving a point but I can't help but want his hands on me again. I shake that thought as the warm shower water runs through my hair. I surprised nobody told me to come out yet I've been in here for over an hour thinking. I wanted him to so badly kiss me! What will I say to him today? Will it weird between us? Ugh so many question run through my mind, I started to apply some more of my strawberry shampoo to my hair.
I run my finger threw my hair thinking how so long I wanted to dye it, change my whole look. But my mom wouldn't let me dye my perfect jet black hair. A knock comes.
"Maddie you been in there for hours, time to get out everybody is waiting for you." I hear Noah's voice on the other side of the bathroom door.
"Who is everybody?" I yell trying not to get shampoo in my mouth.
"Are family!"
"Aright I'm coming out"
I really don't feel like dealing with my family right now, all the questions of why I went to Paris. The disapproving glances.
"Make sure you dress good where going to be with the king"
"I think the king is are dad" I turn the water off and wrap myself in a towel and head out the bathroom
"Now tell me why I got to get dress to have brunch with my dad?"
"Because he's the king and you got to dress a respectable way!" I walk in my closet.
"When I was home I didn't have to dress a way."
"Where not at home, Maddie just do what you're told for once!" he yells
"If I did what I'm told I wouldn't be me" he leaves slamming the door behind him.
I don't care if you have to dress up for the "King" he's my dad and if he wasn't I still wouldn't dress up that's just the way I am. But I have been on my dad bad side for a while….. I walk in my closet and pull out a long green dress that stopped to my feet. I but on my black flip flops and but my wet black hair in a ponytail.
Entering the dining room I see everybody stop there conversation and look at me. My father was sitting at the head of the table; on the left of the table was my mom, Noah, Zac, Matt, and Jess. On the right side are Drake, Robert JR, Ben, Elijah, and Anthony. There's an empty seat in between Elijah and Anthony. I walk to the seat.
"Hello father sorry for my lateness but I had no clue we was getting together." I smile and take my seat.
"It's ok Maddie, I didn't even know your mother put this together." my father smiles at me.
"Hello mother" I smile putting my good girl act on.
"You couldn't do anything better with your hair? You're in front of the king and Queen."
"No mother I didn't want to keep everyone waiting. And I didn't know I had to dress up for my mother and father, because ya'll see me worst then this why is it different now?" For all this I could have put different cloths on. I shake my head my mom is acting like a bitch like crazy.
"Where not at home no more Madison" she snapped
"I thought this was your home?" I roll my eyes
Before she could say anything people came out with are food. We were served eggs, bacon, and French toast.
"Well Maddie I will like to tell you who's going with you to Kansas" my father says.
"And who might that be?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Well I think I'm going to let him tell you when he's want to" my father says and winks. I blush thinking that Anthony might be going with me. But how would my father know what's going on between me and Anthony. I don't even know if anything even is going on, he could just be winking to just wink but I can't help the fact that I wish its Anthony. I smile I didn't know me and my father would get back to are loving relationship.
You see I was always close with my dad and the boys, my mother always hated it because I was her only girl and I didn't really like to play with dolls or dress up and she was mad. I always wanted to throw the ball with my brothers, and I wanted my dad to hang out with me as much as he did with my brothers. My mother was so happy when she had Sophia but she was scared that she be like me. But in the end Sophia was just like everybody else a vampire. But my father he doesn't really pay attention to her, he only keeps having children because of my mother. He doesn't want her to feel lonely, my mother gets mad when dad calls me his little girl only cause he act like he doesn't have a another daughter.
I look up at everybody they were almost done I guess it's time to ask my father.
"Umm dad?"
"Yes Maddie" he looks up at me
"You know since people are looking for me and everything and that I'm going to a new place I was hoping you let me…" I put my head down
"Come on with it, just say it."
"Dye my hair and maybe some other things too?" I look up
"What are the other things?"
"Dad I want it to be a surprise"
"And a great surprise it will be, you know its Drake engagement party?"
"Well a great surprise is right" I wink at my father.
"Dad you really going to let her changes who knows what on my night?"
"Son it's up to her she's old enough, and she's a teen she wants to change her look and I will allow it." My father says, (I love my father.)
"Maddie I asking you nicely please don't do anything dumb."
"Well I sorry but dumb is my middle name" I smile
He stands up "Why do you always have to be the center of attention! Oh Maddie isn't a vampire we need to watch her, oh be careful don't throw the ball to hard you know Maddie is human! The list goes on, why do you think we don't come back home a lot? Because it's always about you."
I stand up and look at my brothers "Is that true? Is it true?" I slam my hands on the table. "You think I wanted to be treated like I can't do anything? I tried my hardest to fit in with this family, I hated that you guys had to hold back." Tears are building up in my eyes.
"I'll make life easier I won't come to your party ill stay in my room. I will make sure your party doesn't have anything to do with me!" I start walking out the room "And make sure nobody comes in my room!"
I run to my room slamming the door behind me, I lean up the door. I never wanted everything to be about me. I never knew he felt like that, I want to know if all my brothers feel that way? I let of the tears that wanted to come out and slid down the door sobbing. I didn't know I made so much trouble with my family they should have told me how they were feeling.
I don't know how long I sat there crying, but the tears wouldn't stop. There was knocks at my door but I didn't open it. I didn't want to see anybody.
"Ouch" I hear coming from my window; I look up to see Anthony coming through it. He makes his way over to me.
"Maddie you okay?" he asks and lean down so where face to face.
"I'm fine" I try to say my mouth was to dry
"If your fine why are you sitting on the floor with tears in your eyes?" he did have a point, but I wasn't going to say that out loud.
"I like sitting on the floor" I look down; he put his hand to my chin and lifts my face up. I look into his green eyes and I just melt. Why won't he just kiss?
"Your too pretty to be sitting on the floor" he leans in his breath in on my face and I can taste it, Blood and mint yumm. By now Anthony is on the floor hovering over me. He moves some hair from my face. Why does he keep me waiting? He parts his lips licking them, his face leans closer. I close my eyes waiting for the kiss. I open my eyes not feeling him near me anymore; he was standing up holding a hand out for me so he can help me up. Ugh why can't he ever kiss me damn it! I take his hand and smile.
"I need to talk to you" he says and I nod "tonight is the best night to get into that room, everybody is going to be at the party so no one will know." He smiles
"But if I take something they going to think it were me because I wasn't at the party."
"I got everything plan out you ask your father if you can get your hair dye?" I nod my head "So I told everybody that you're going with Jess to get it done. So that tells everybody that you weren't in the mansion."
"I have to get my hair dye how are we going to do that?"
"We have to go now if you're getting your hair dye and other things done go get dress Jess is meeting you in the car." He heads for the door
"What about the key? But I should be back in time for the party and Jess is likely to go so they will know I was here."
"Jess knows what where doing I had to tell her for this plan to work, everything is going to work out fine and here" he throws the key
"Thanks" I smile
I run into my room, I threw my dress off. I look around my room for cloths; I pick a black tank top and green shorts and my black high tops. I put the key in my bra and run out the door.
