Promises

Anna (POV)

Today was a very stressful day. After all what that auntie has said. Maybe he will give up on me? After all it's his baby we are talking about. His flesh in blood.

I'm just some girl who clings on to him.

Now here I am giving the pendant back to him. I didn't want to think I am using him for extravagant gifts. Though  it was sweet of him. I still can't believe he knew my birthday. Just that alone is good enough for me.

"You don't like it, I could get you something else."

"No, It's not that. It's beautiful really."

"Then what's the problem."

"Auntie already doesn't want me here. What's more. She's going to think that I am extorting you."

Opening the box he took the necklace back out, "I bought this for you because I thought it would look good on you and because I wanted to."

Standing up I eyed the necklace, "No one has given me a gift before." Seconds ago he was smiling now he was frowning. Did I say something wrong.

"We'll be prepared because this is the first of many."

Why does hearing him say that got my heart pumping more, I even blushed.

Slowly he flipped me around as he had put the necklace on me, before turning me back to face him, "It suits you."

My fingers graze the pendant, "I always wanted to go to Paris."

Smiling he spoke in his usually husky voice, "I'll take you there one day."

"Is it just us, or..."

"It'll be just us." I felt happy but at the same time worried.

"What about auntie? She won't like you and me going off to Paris together." Which is true. And it would be inappropriate wouldn't it be.

"I will handle her in the mean time you should just think when is it good time to go. On second thought give me your class schedule."

He really wants to take me, oh my gosh I'm so excited now, "Okay, I'll give it to you tomorrow. Are you sure it's okay though for you to take me?"

"Of course."

"Promise."

"Promise."

"You're not going to just not show up this time are you."

"No." I was feeling giddy that is until he had kissed my cheeks, patted my head and headed for the door, "Good night kid."

After he left I plopped on my bed. Why is my heart fluttering? It's beating so fast it got my nerves in rattles. Oh my god, am I having a panic attack. All of a sudden breathing had become hard.

Slowing counting backwards, my heart and my breath has calmed down as well as my nerves.

This morning I had woken up with no roof over my head, now I am in a soft comfy bed that I never want to get out of.

The past few days has been a breeze. Uncle made sure I have never come across Megan and if I do that I am not put into a room alone with her.

Not that I was avoiding her, I wanted to get along with her considering we are under the same roof but she was pregnant. And her being angry and stressing out is not good for the baby.

Searching through each room until I found a small office at the back with a computer. That's a relief, until my eyes met with that deep hypnotizing gaze. I thought I could come here for peace and quiet away from that auntie.
