CHAPTER 7 - DEANNA
I don't think I'd laughed so much in my entire life as I did that day. The guys were full of great of ideas and Zac and Lorry soon became partners in crime, teaming up for ice cream slinging matches and putting on bogus accents. Taylor, Isaac and I watched them horsing around together. Lorry caught my eye and mouthed "thank you" I grinned back and spooned up the last of my triple-choc blast, strawberry, banana-split, lime design, laced with nuts sundae up. Taylor made gagging motions and I swatted him across the table.
"Shut up! Don't knock it till you've tried it!" I cried. He laughed and nodded to where Zac and Lorry were sharing a combination of Lemon Sorbet, Watermelon Sherbet, Choc-berry, Lime, Coffee, Englisg Toffee, Caramel and Boysenberry ice cream topped with sprinkles and crushed Oreo cookies. I laughed as Isaac paid the bill and we made our way outside. It was a warm day and Lorry suggested a walk in the park. Zac took charge of my chair and we careered along the path with the otehr jogging behind us, laughing their heads off. Zac finally stopped once we reached the site of a huge carnival.
"I knew I wasn't hearing things! I knew I could hear carnival music!" He cried.
"Let's go on the rollercoaster!" Lorry yelled. She set off at a run and the rest of us, bar Zac followed behind at a slower pace. As we paid for our tickets Zac surveyed me.
"Uh...Deanna, how will you get on?"
"Like this" Isaac answered and he picked me up gently. I wrapped my arms around his neck as Taylor sweet-talked the ticket seller into minding my chair.Once we were all strapped in the ride began. I screamed as we looped the loop and rocketed up and down the steep, narrow track. Isaac gripped my hand and screamed with me.
We went on every other ride on the carnival and by the time we left my chair was festooned with prizes that the guys had paid a fortune to win.
"Hey guys, let's go to the lake" I led them to the lake that daddy used to take me too. Isaac helped me sit on the grass, Taylor and Lorry fed the ducks and Zac lay spread-eagled on the ground, accusing me of wearing him out. We'd left the music studio mid-morning and it was now becoming rapidly dark. I suddenly remembered that daddy had asked me to call him if I was going to leave the offices.
"Lorry, can I borrow your cell?" She tossed it to me and I quickly punched in my home number.
"Daddy? Oh hi Giles, it's Deanna...well yeah, I guess that was kind of evident" Isaac scnorted and Zac cracked up.
"Is daddy there? Thanks...Daddy? Yeah, I'm just calling to tell you that I left the studios"
"When? I talked to Garth just before I left and he said you were in his office" Garth must've covered for us.
"Oh...well that's because we just left" Zac and Lorry began to chant 'Liat, liar pant's on fire' I rolled my eyes at Isaac and he nodded.
"Okay, well can you get yourself to the offices?"
"Yeah, I think so"
"Good, Ana can give you a ride home"
"Okay daddy, thankyou, buy" I rang off and tossed the cell back to Lorry. Within a few minutes we had piled back into Isaac's van and Taylor's Fiat and were heading back to the studios.
