Ch.22
Amy and I walked around the house looking for the kitchen.
On our way was the living room where Garry was sleeping on the couch.
We crept by as slowly and quietly as we could.
He snored as I got to the kitchen doorway.
There was a small refrigerator and Amy opened it. It contained strawberries, cantaloupe, some hickory smoked venison, various containers of meat, cheese, milk, and a lot more. There was even my favorite juice, Sunny-D.
I checked the cabinets and found dishes, cereal, and the ingredients for s'mores.
It began to rain as I got out bowls. Amy brought over the milk, and we picked out some cereals.
I picked Cheerios, and Amy grabbed some Cocoa Puffs.
Amy shook the milk, and unscrewed the top, pouring it into her bowl.
I watched as she grabbed a spoon for each of us.
She handed me the milk and just as I was about to pour it she reached out to stop me. Her face was scrunched in disgust and she spit out what she had eaten into the sink, “The milk is sour!”
“Eeew!” I poured the remainder of the milk into the sink, happy that my food wasn’t spoiled.
Amy poured her cereal into the sink, and turned on the water, washing it down the drain and pouring more into her bowl.
We walked to the table with our dry cereal and set them down.
Amy sat, but I got cups from the cupboard and grabbed some Sunny-D from the fridge.
As I poured, Amy ate.
“Thanks. That bathroom was nice, wasn’t it? It surprised me.”
“Yeah. The shower was nice. It felt gooood.” I exclaimed.
“Yeah, but it was all color schemed. Not something I expected from a place like this,” she gestured all around.
“A surprise in this case is welcome by me as long as it’s a good one.”
“Yeah.”
We finished up our food, and drank our juice, getting up and sneaking out of the kitchen.
There was a side door to our right as we walked, so I looked outside it. The rain had stopped.
It opened up onto a beautiful garden full of roses and tulips, carnations, and even lilies of the valley, all surrounding an old willow tree. It was all enclosed in a decorative, beautiful, iron fence with a spiked top, and arched gate!
I was turning the knob before I knew it, and stepping outside.
Amy was right behind me, but as soon as we were both outside I was running around smelling the flowers.
Suddenly, I heard something so unwelcomed that I stopped dead in my tracks, and so did Amy.
“Nice to see you again, girls.
You know… you aren’t very good at hiding.”
