Chapter 5: A Special Surprise
"Hey Kate Honey wake up sweetheart" Were the words I heard that woke me from the nightmarish hell that I currently inhabited. "Yea mom I'm up" I replied groggily. Not wanting to move a muscle or even sleep again until My Humphrey came home.
"Good darling now please get up, you still have to see the present Humphrey left you, its in the driveway Honey" My mother Eve said with a caring smile while gesturing towards my bedroom door. I moaned in reply. "Alright Mom I will go and see my special present" I replied with the sudden realization of what she said... A present from HUMPHREY! It has to be something special.. but what? Why would it be in the driveway? I had a question and when I turned around on my way downstairs Eve simply nodded in consent knowing I had a question for her."It's alright Honey just go and look I promise you will be happy about it" She said with a wink. I sighed and walked downstairs. I opened the door only to see what I could not even Imagine. Humphrey's Chevelle... And my dad was leaning against it. He looked at me and smiled.
"About time you woke up darling I was getting worried" My father Winston said with a passionate smile. "Well apparently mom can't wait all day" I replied giggling. He smiled and gestured towards the car. "Its yours sweetheart, he knew you would love it...you do right?" My dad asked me in a amused tone. "Of course I do dad... A gift from Humphrey is a gift from heaven no matter what it is." I replied sheepishly while smiling.. He just laughed an walked inside but not before giving me a peck on the cheek and handing me the keys. "Happy birthday Honey" he whispered as he walked away.
I was still in a state of shock, a car... That's what he gave me his fathers pride and joy. I walked towards it in awe. I fumbled with the keys unsure of what to do. I opened the door and plopped down on the warm leather seat. "Oh Humphrey its perfect" I whispered while a smile slowly made its way across my face. I sat there admiring the interior for about 30 seconds before my eyes settled on the neatly placed envelope on the dashboard. I sat there staring at it hoping it wasn't anything bad for some reason I thought it could be a death note. Probably just because I missed Humphrey. I finally swallowed my fears and grasped the letter admiring the fine golden glitter writing on the front that spelled KATE... I was ready..
Dear Kate,
I'm sorry I was unable to give you this myself but as you know Duty calls... One hell of a birthday present huh?
I hope you remember how to drive. Cause I would hate to see you crash and get hurt. Who am I kidding your an adrenaline junky.. Just be careful with the car... And Kate.. Please Don't forget about me because I won't forget about you.. Kate I love you more than I love life I just want you to be happy so have fun. But drive safe.
With much Love, truly yours Humphrey...
I read the last part and began to tear up. "I love you to Humphrey... And I will never ever forget about you... Please just come home..." I whispered
Well? Tell me how I'm doing so far...
I would love to know...
