"Sienna, I believe your father asked you a question." Oh. My. God. Nonononononononononono. Ah, crap. I turned slowly to look behind my chair, even though I didn't need to.
"So, you going to stay with me one more month, and then you'll be over me?" Rick said with a sneer in his voice. "I'm hurt Sienna. And here I thought we had something special." I was pretty much still in shock he was here.
"Oh Rick, we were over long ago. I just had the maturity to say it first." I challenged him silently. I felt triumphant in this battle. I'm sure there was an evil glint in my eyes. I smiled cruelly.
"I think we could make it work, Sienna. I mean, the public loves us." Damn. Game, set, match. If I broke it off with Rick, I would get so many hate letters. Probably death threats. Curse Rick's good looks. If he hadn't won over so many people on that touring campaign, I wouldn't be in this situation. He won this battle, but this war wasn't over yet. I couldn't lose, and succumb to being beat by that demon every day. Back up plan.
"Why announce to the public if it's just a personal matter? I mean, why have the press interfere, when we could just keep it to ourselves." Oh yeah, I won. He couldn't release the information without my consent first. Ha. Shows him.
"Dad, I'm going to walk around the capitol for a while, is that okay?" I asked in my super sweet voice. Dad still looked confused from what had just happened. He nodded, and I all but ran from the dining room.
I took the train that ran underground the streets of Washington that only senators and their guests use. I flashed my ID badge, and hopped aboard. The trip took all but three minutes. I jumped up and went to the security check out so they could look in my purse. My dad hated it, but it was the best purse I had ever carried. It was a patchwork purse, that you slung over one shoulder and wore to the side. It had a peace sign right in the middle. I loved it.
"How you doin' Miss Sienna? Dad still tryin' to burn this old thing?" I cracked a grin at my favorite security guard, Ray. He was the one who was working security when Dad first saw my purse.
"Each and everyday, Ray. How's the wife and kids? Oh, and didn't I hear you're going to be expanding that lovely family of yours?" I smiled really big at him. I was so excited for him. He'd been wanting a son forever, and the sonogram came in a week ago. "Congratulations on the boy. What are you going to name him?" Ray had finished looking through my bag and handed it back.
"We were thinking something like Samuel or maybe Daniel. Which one do you like better?" Oh my God.
"Daniel, definitely." I said happily.
