Chapter 2 is up! Enjoy!
Robert woke up to an empty bed
Robert woke up to an empty bed. Giselle must have gotten up already, and he heard noises coming from the kitchen. He rolled over, attempting to get a bit more sleep, but at that moment Morgan came in singing a tune and skipping merrily.
His eyes widened and he wondered if he was still in a dream.
'My LIFE is a dream…' he thought.
"Daddy daddy! She chirped as she began jumping on the bed, he responded by
covering up his head with his pillow, hoping that he would wake up any
moment.
"Daddy! Wake UP!" she cried hitting his back with a pillow. He groaned.
"What do you want Morgan??"
She continued to hit him as she said,
"You didn't forget did you!! We're going to the circus show!! You promised!!"
He stayed where he was and mumbled, "Yeah, but that's not until noon."
"But it's 11:35!!" she cried. He threw the pillow across the room, shot up, and
was about to yell 'how long was I asleep?' when suddenly the pillow Morgan
had been hitting him in the back with caught him hard in the face, catching
him so off guard that it knocked him partly off the bed so that he landed on
his head with his feet still on the side of the bed.
He groaned as Giselle walked in the room.
"Robert, did you hear that we're going to the circus!?" she cried
out happily.
"Yeah, I got the message…" he groaned still lying in his awkward
position; his head was beginning to ache.
"I just have one question," he said. "Why do we need to go to a circus
when we have one right at home?"
Morgan giggled, then said, "Sorry daddy…"
He sighed and told her it was okay, then he attempted to get
himself out of his ridiculous position, only succeeding in
performing a summersault and landing hard on his stomach.
"Ow…"
Robert had to get dressed and ready for the day fast in order to get a taxi, and to get to the circus in time. Once they were all in the taxi, things calmed down a bit, but Morgan and Giselle were talking a mile a minute.
Neither of them had ever been to a circus before, and they were showing it through their excitement. The taxi pulled up to the street where the circus had set up in a large stadium like building. In his rush to catch up to Morgan and Giselle, he nearly forgot to pay the taxi driver, but the angry cry of the taxi driver caught his attention. But in the process, he lost sight of Morgan and Giselle.
"Shit!" he cried to himself frantically searching around for them, Morgan was only seven and a half, and Giselle had no clue what to do alone in New York, she was used to fairy tale land, what was it called again…? Andalasia? Yeah, that was it.
He ran toward the building, calling out their names. Of course, they didn't hear him. He was worried now. He ran inside and began searching for them there.
He wasn't worried anymore, he had been worried 25 minutes ago. Now he was just plain scared. Had they gotten their tickets somehow? Where were they? Finally, once the show was OVER, Giselle and Morgan emerged from one of the exits,
The moment he saw them step out, he ran to them.
"What the hell were you two thinking running off like that?!" he screamed. Both
Morgan and Giselle looked shocked at his sudden outburst, their eyes were wide with shock.
"Did you two even pay for tickets??" They BOTH looked to the ground. They both acted like they were a child who had just gotten yelled at. He sighed and was about to apologize when a sudden wave of dizziness swept over him. He swayed, suddenly the room tilted and he felt his head hit the ground.
"Daddy!" he heard Morgan cry, then everything went black.
How do you like it?? Chapter 3 coming up!! Thanks for being patient!!
