Ch. 11
/I AM SOOOOOOOOOO FLIPPING SORRY THAT I HAVEN'T UPDATED FOR SO LONG! T^T it's just, I had a massive writers block and keeping up with my school life… I am so sorry but, I don't know how this will turn out but here we go.
Vlad POV.
Sighing I got up and stretched after finishing my desk work, god this so annoying. I walked out my door leaving work behind in the study, while heading to the kitchen, where I saw Alice baking cookies; I couldn't help but smile at that. Alice, my daughter, I simply though that she would be dead weight, when really she has wormed her way into my life, but most of the time I am busy with work, I never really have spent the day with her… After all, I know almost nothing about her, beside that small scene last night with the nightmare. God, reading that news article about her supposed "death" just before she had met ClockWork made extremely pissed off, 'who dares to harm my daughter!' my mind cried out. Wait I've got an idea! I have a day off, maybe I could spend the day with her… shaking my head from all the 'what if's that floated around in my mind; well here goes nothing, "Alice? What are you doing?" oops that came out harsh causing her to jump after putting the batch of cookies in the oven,
"Baba?! Jeez don't sneak up on me like that! Almost gave me a heart attack." Alice said while her hand was on her chest to calm herself down, which I couldn't help but grin at her. I let out a small chuckle as I walked over to her before giving her a small hug, as I released her she smile at me before looking at her watch that was on her wrist and frowning at me, "Baba? Don't you have to leave in a few minutes? Like 5 minutes…" I quickly checked my phone and scowled, 9:48AM, 'I'd only have two minutes to get ready and get there… wait.' I went through my contacts with a smile on my face, before finding my PA, soon my phone started to call her I walked away from Alice who had a confused face before my PA could pick up.
"Hello, I'm afraid that Mr. Masters is out at the moment, is there anything else you need?" I couldn't help but grin at what I am about to do.
"Hello to you to Maranda and might I say, you are doing a fantastic job so far." I simply spoke whilst smirking,
"M-M-Mr. Masters!? Why are you calling? Ah! I mean- umm you are due at work in a minute sir…" I almost laughed at that… almost,
"Yes I know, but I have been working for a while now and I was calling to clear my schedule for today." I stated
"Y-Y-Yes sir! Do you want me to do this for the remainder of the week?"
"Hmm…" do I want to take the rest of the week off? Sure why not, it's not like I haven't done it before, "Sure and thank you Maranda."
"No problem sir, anytime! Is that all?" I waited to sort through my mind to see if I need anything else… Nope.
"No that will be all. Thank you and good bye." I simply cut the line as I shoved my phone back into my pocket. Walking back over to Alice I couldn't help but grin at her before saying, "Oh Alice~ Guess what~" She looks over at me with confusion written all over her face,
"Well considering that you look like you are not in a rush I'm guessing that you call in sick for today?" she said, well pretty much hit that nail on the head but still I continued ginning,
"Even better, I'm free for the rest of the week." I said happily, looking over at Alice to see her reaction… well to sum it up she was shocked and surprised. I was about to say something but then Alice jumped up a hugged me I guess that she's excited too,
"Hey Baba," Alice started, I looked at her before she continued, "Um, I was wondering maybe we could go somewhere today… now that you're not busy…" I simply looked at her before smiling,
"And where do you with to go?" Alice looked at me with a grin on her face,
"Well I was hoping-" Alice continued to ramble on about arcades, game stores and craft shops, considering I can't say no I smiled before telling her that we'll leave when she's ready, to which Alice hug me while saying thankyou quite a few time and following it up with 'soon, well when to cookies are done first…' I would be lying if I said that I wasn't excited on finding things about my daughter I never knew, nothing could wipe the smile off my face right now… not even that stupid blundering oaf.
