Page 25 of Discovering Daisy

“You should’ve been here when they had the go-karts running,” Levi said. “The track went right up to the ocean. It was amazing!”

“What happened to them?” Daisy said.

“They, uh, shut down after a naughty Little…well, did something naughty,” Ella said. She winced and bashfully offered, “It was me.” A moment passed before she said, this timewith a smile, “But they’re going to reopen them once they install guardrails! It’ll be fun.”

Daisy smirked. She imagined whatever had happened had earned Little Ella quite a spanking.

Yikes!

“Well, what are you all going to do?” Wyatt asked.

“We’re going to play on the treehouse,” Levi said. “It’s massive and built just for Littles.”

“It’s more like a treecomplex,” Nelly said. “Like something right out ofSwiss Family Robinson.”

“Well, you all be careful,” Wyatt said. “Daisy, honey, I’m going to talk to some of the other Bigs. You stay with your friends. No wandering off by yourself. And meet me back at that bar in exactly one hour. Look at your phone.”

She did so.

“What time is it?”

“Two, sir.”

“We meet at three o’clock, then. Go on. Have fun.” He playfully swatted her diapered bottom as she scurried away with her friends.

He watched her with a smile.

Damn. His cutie was too adorable.

The Littles climbed up the first tower of the expansive treehouse complex.

“How cool is this?” Daisy said, marveling at the structure.

“It reminds me of that big treehouse at Disney World. Only this is better,” Levi said.

“I’ve never been to Disney World,” Daisy said.

“Maybe your Daddy can take you,” Levi said.

Daisy liked the sound of that. It wouldn’t be a very long drive from the farm in Georgia.

She continued her climb with the others, but as she neared the top, she couldn’t shake the suspicion that they were being watched.

She stopped walking and took a look around.

Halfway up a wooden staircase, Ella stopped and looked back down. “What’s wrong?”

“Are we the only ones on this treehouse?” she asked.

“I don’t know,” Ella said. “There might be someone up top. Or below us that we can’t see. But I haven’t spotted anyone else yet.”

Levi nodded. “Same. I think we have it all to ourselves.”

“It’s like our own personal clubhouse,” Nelly said with a giggle.

Daisy looked around some more. That uneasy feeling was growing. It was as if she knew eyes were boring into her. She checked behind her. A waist-high wooden railing ran the length of the platform, boxing it in to reduce the risk of falling. She walked toward the back and glanced through the trees. She couldn’t see much as it was heavily forested.
