Stefan Salvatore's daughter ~ Miracle

69. Hunter of nowhere

Gillian's P.O.V.

I am laying on my bed half asleep, having my eyes closed as I am dreaming a nice dream... for once. I roll on my stomach, getting more comfortable under my blanket. I can feel the rays of the sunlight entering my bedroom and landing on my bed. I let a long breath out, starting to fall back asleep when I sense and feel someone laying next to me under my blanket. I don't move as I feel an arm passing around my back and a hand grabbing gently my wrist. A head is coming next to mine. Dad...

- Wake up, my Little Monster, whispers joyfully, dad as his thumb is rubbing my arm. I don't move nor talk and continue "sleeping". Come on, baby, the day has risen already, whispers gently, my father before placing a kiss on my shoulder. I stretch while humming at the same time, but keep my eyes shut.

- Mmh, five minutes, dad, I groan annoyed as I hide my head with the blanket. Dad chuckles to my reaction before taking the blanket off, messing my hair a bit.

- Come on, Lilou, he says as he lightly tickles my sides. Wake up, my baby, he tells me as I move his hand off of my side to stop the tickles while lightly laughing despite my annoyment.

- Mmh, but dad, I was having a nice dream, I complain while fakely whining which caused dad to laugh.

- Oh, oh, I hear him laughing when he suddenly grabs me and pulls me against him. He rolls on his back and I lay on his stomach, my head on his chest, still having my eyes shut. Sorry for wanting to wake my daughter up with all the love I can give her, he says jokingly as I feel him stroking my hair all along their length. He sounds so happy... It's weird, but so nice to hear him that happy. I love it...

- Well, she wanted to sleep, I continue to argue as I hide a smile.

- My grumpy Little Monster, laughs, my father. I laugh back before lifting lightly my head up to look at him, still laying on him. Some of my hair get on my face. Dad pushes them away, smiling happily as I look at him with my sleepy eyes. Morning, Sweetie.

- Morning, daddy, I respond, smiling and closing my eyes again. Suddenly, dad rolls us over and is standing above me. He holds me down the best he can before tickling my sides. I start to laugh uncontrollably as I wriggle in all directions. How dare you? I ask him between my laugh as I try to catch up my breath. I was nice, laying on my... bed, sleeping peacefully and having a nice... dream until... you came tickling me. Ah, ah, ah, I continue laughing loudly and uncontrollably until my father stops.

- But you like when I wake you up and mess a bit up with you, baby. I know that, laughs, dad before passing his left arm under my back and holding himself up with his right one to not crush me. I roll my eyes annoyed even though I laugh before passing my arms around my father's back to embrace him back.

- Would you look at that father/daughter love, we both hear Uncle Damon saying from the entrance of my bedroom. If only someone would love me as much as she loves you, Stefan. I'm really going to be jealous, Boo, lightly jokes, my uncle. Dad moves on the side to lay next to me so we can both see my uncle. Uncle Damon smiles and winks at me as he has his arms crossed over his chest. Morning, sleepy head, greets me, Damon as I see my father lightly rolling his eyes. I smile back to my uncle. You are definitely one kind of a vampire, tells, Damon while shaking slowly and lightly his head as he smiles.

- What do you mean? I ask him confused while sitting upright, just like dad.

- Well, vampires don't sleep much but you... You're a whole another story, jokes, my uncle, still smiling as he stares at me.
