Told you ;)
I shook Ian awake. "God dammit!" I yelled. "It's ten thirty! Why the hell are you still asleep?"
He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "It's ten thirty?"
"Yes! I already ate my food, here's yours," I handed him the bag, "and I ran into Tobuscus at the coffee shop."
"What did he have to say?" Ian sneered, snatching the bag of food out of my hand.
I laughed and kissed his cheek. "Don't worry! He knows I have a boyfriend! But, his daughter's best friend is shooting a cover video and he needs some makeup artists. I said I would talk to you about it and call him back to let him know...So what do you say?"
He thought. "Hmm...Sure! I haven't told the YouTube world you're my girlfriend, though, so I'll just call you my intern...Okay?"
I nodded, even though I was a little disappointed. "Kay, I'll call Toby and tell him."
I left the room and dialed Toby's number. He answered after two rings.
"Hello! If this is a creeper, I would ask you to hang up now!"
I giggled quietly, then held the phone in front of my mouth. "Ssss. BOOM!"
He laughed. "Nice! Might I ask who is calling on this lovely day?"
"'Tis me," I began in a British accent. "Chestnutscus." I giggled again.
"Oh, hellooo! What did he say?"
"He said yes! Where is it?"
He sighed loudly. "That's the thing. It's in New York. Tomorrow."
I nodded. "We can do it."
"BOSS!" He took a deep breath. "I'll tell Delaney to tell William to tell Danni!"
"Nice. So, seeya tomorrow then?"
"Yep! Bye!"
"Bye! BOOP!" I tapped the red square to conclude the phone call.
(Tommorow in New York)
Today, I'm wearing white Osirises, purple skinny jeans, a white three-quater sleeve tee-shirt, and a purple Fedora with a white satin ribbon. I had on sunglasses at the moment, they were purple and white checkerboard (everything matches). My real glasses were in a case in my purse. It sure was sunny to be snowing.
"Toby!" I screamed across the loud aquarium. "Toby!"
He turned around. "Huh?"
"What just happened with Danni? She ran away from me!"
"I don't know! Ask William!"
I huffed and ran to Athena. "Where's...William?" I panted, out of breath.
"With Danni...What do need?" She fixed my hair.
"Thanks...Danni...just ran...away...from me..."
"Oh...Hold on..." She held me at arm's length and looked me over. "You look exactly like her mom..."
I gasped. "No...I-...I can't...I can't be related to anyone..."
"Wait...What's your name?"
"Anne...Everyone calls me Annie, though..."
She smiled. "That's her sister. You're her aunt!"
I shook my head, backing away from her. "No..."
She nodded.
"No...NO!" I ran up the aquarium tower, like Danni, and tore off my hat and shades. I threw on my real glasses in time to see Danni in the arms of a large man in a prison suit.
"A little too late for that, Rosie," the man said.
I knew he was taller than me, but I learned how to wrestle when I was a kid...
"Put. Her. Down." I raised my fists up. "Now."
He dropped her, wheeling around to face me. "Oh, look! If it's not Danni's mommy here to save her." He smirked at the sudden fire my eyes.
"I'm not her fucking mommy!" (FIVE POINTS IF YOU KNOW WHERE I RIPPED THAT OFF FROM!) I threw my fist up into his nose, grinning evilly at the crunch it made.
He grabbed nose and tried to grab me, but I dodged it and I side-swiped his knees, making him fall over. Once he was on the ground, I lifted my foot high into the air, then brought it down onto his spine. He spazzed for a second, then lay flat on the ground.
Dead.
Was it murder if the person you murdered was about to murder a twelve-year-old girl?
Nah.
Danni's eyes were wide at the still figure in front of her feet. I smiled nicely and bent down to pick her up, but she scooted away from me, shaking her head.
"I'm trying to help you," I said kindly. "Who was that?"
She grabbed my hand, with slight hesitation, and pulled herself up. "My step-dad...He was going to rape and murder me...But you saved my life..." She smiled at me. "Thanks...Aren't you Ian's intern?"
I nodded, blushing. "Can I tell you something?" I whispered, and leaned a little closer. She bobbed her head slightly. "I'm not really Ian's intern...We're acctually dating..."
She rolled her eyes. "Pshh. Everyone knows that."
I giggled. "Guess so..."
William sat up. "W-...What just happened?" He rubbed his head.
Danni ran up and hugged him. "She saved us...That's what happened..."
He looked up at me. "Thank you...Wait." He craned his neck to look at Danni. "Isn't that Ian's intern?"
She nodded again. "I thought she was my mom..."
I held my hand up, stopping them. "First of all, you guys are so cute together," they both blushed and pulled their arms away, "second, I just found out, but...I'm your aunt..."
The color drained from Danni's face and she shook her head.
I nodded. "If you want, you can live with me...I mean, I have a brother, but, I'm moving out soon...You can wait until then..."
"I-...I'll think about it." She smiled. "You seem nice."
I smiled back. "Can I have a hug?" I held my arms out.
She blushed and hugged me.
"Okay," I began, looking between Danni and William. "We should get back to the shoot."
We all smiled and left.
New chapters today and tomorrow! :)
