Oblivion

Chapter 4

"Ivy! Hurry up! You're gonna be late for the flight!" My dad calls from downstairs.

"I'm coming!" I yell back as I run around my room gathering all my belongings.

Once I finish, I rush down the stairs with my suitcase and duffel bag.

"Good morning tesorina." Paxton says as he smirks at me.

"What?" I ask, confused.

He just smiles and takes my suitcase from my hand.

Tesorina? What does that even mean?

"Okay, you guys ready? The drivers out front." William asks, breaking me from my thoughts.

I nod. I look towards my dad and see his sad smile.

"I'm gonna be okay dad." I reassured.

"I know. I just hate being so far away from my little girl." He replies as he holds my face in his cold hands.

"I'll be back." I say on the verge of tears.

My dad gives me a half-smile and nods.

"Well, you better get going then." He says as he releases my face from his hands.

I nod and look away.

I grab my bags and suitcase and start towards the front door. Paxton opens the door and smiles. I turn around and give my dad another look.

"Love you, dad." I say smiling.

"Love you too Ivy." He replies.

I smile at William and walk out the door with Paxton behind me.

Paxton walks by my side as we walk down the driveway towards the car.

We give the driver our luggage and walk to the doors of the back seats.

"Daddy's girl." Paxton taunts, as he opens the car door for me.

"Shut up." I reply as I give him a glare and get into the car.

I hear Paxton chuckle and get into the car and sit next to me.

The driver gets back into the driver's seat and looks back at us.

"Ready miss?" He asks.

I nod.

The driver flashes a smile and turns back and drives away from the house.

"Miss." Paxton mimics into my ear.

I turn my head towards him.

"You really know how to get on my nerves don't you?" I state, annoyed.

"Of course. Anything to get your attention, tesorina." He replies as he smirks.

"Stop calling me that." I say, looking away.

"Do you even know what it means?" He asks.

"No." I reply, a little embarrassed about not knowing the meaning.

Was I supposed to?

"Good," Paxton says.
