Well my dad finally got home after about 30 minutes. I couldn't wait to find out the secrets my dad was hiding from me! And eat that pizza! I fly down the stairs and around the corner into the kitchen.
"Hello Daddy!" I say sweetly.
"Hello Payton..." He says with a furrowed brow.
"So, why are we celebrating?" I ask curiously.
"Well, I wouldn't call it a celebration but your Aunt Rotelle is going to be staying for a while here."
"What!? Aunt Rotelle, dad!"
"I'm sorry Payton," He says. "But she's only going to be here for a few days.."
"But dad! You know how crazy she is!"
"I know sweetie," He says. "But you can't hold a grudge forever."
"Technically, it's not a grudge. I just think she's crazy."
A few years ago, at my birthday party, my Aunt Rotelle popped all of my balloons and ate my whole cake! By herself! She was on the verge of stealing my presents but not before my uncle duck taped her to her chair. Crazy right?! She hasn't been to my house since then, her husband has though. He's actually really nice, so I like him.
"When is she going to get here?" I ask questionably.
"Thirty minutes.." He tries saying under his breath.
"Thirty minutes!"
"Or sooner..."
I hear Gadget jingling by my feet. I reach down and pick her up. I start petting her soft fur, and she starts purring. She starts licking my face and I giggle.
I grab a slice of pizza and sit on the couch. My dad sits down on the couch next to me.
"You wanna watch a movie," He asks. "It is Movie Night, if ya do you can pick out the movie."
"I guess.." I say as I get up.
I set down my plate and walk to the movie shelf. I grab The Hunger Games. I walk to the side of the TV and slide the disc in.
As I start sitting down on the couch we hear a knock at the door.
Oh no! Now she's gonna ruin movie night! I think to myself.
I get up and open the door. To my surprise its Josh, and he's holding an envelope in his hand.
"Hi Payton!" He says with a wide smile on his face.
"Hi, what's with the envelope?" I say.
He hands me the envelope.
"Is it safe to open?" I ask mockingly.
"Yeah, it's from my dad."
Our families are really close. Our dads went to the same high school together. They've been friends ever since.
I see a rental car pull up next to the side walk.
"Uh, oh." I say.
"What?" He turns around.
"It's my Aunt Rotelle, you probably should go before she sees you."
Josh was at my party the year of the incident. So he knows how uncontrollable she is.
"Ok," He says. "I'll see you Monday."
"See ya then.." I say as Aunt Rotelle climbs out of her car struggling with her bags.
I close the door and hand the letter to my dad.
"It's from Jack." (Josh's dad)
Aunt Rotelle knocks on the door. I walk back to the door and open it.
"Oh Payton you've grown so much!" She says as she picks up Gadget. "But your so light! And small, and hairy!"
Did I mention her vision is off too?
