Chapter 8
A/N
This will be one of the few chapters written in a different POV if it says nothing at the beginning of a chapter, it will be Naomi's.
Aimie's POV:
I was sat downstairs with Naomi watching TV. It was our day off today, so we weren't planning on doing anything but I have big news for Naomi, so once I had finished finalising things - which I hoped to be this afternoon - I was going to tell her later.
At around 13:00, I had received a call from Natalie. I picked up
"Hello?" I said down the phone.
"Who's that?" Naomi asked.
"Just Nat, "
"Ooh, can I say hi?"
"Someone want's to say hi,"
"Hello Natalieeeeeeeeeee!"
My daughter and Nat got on so well, I still didn't know how she was going to react to what I had to tell her.
After a few minutes of random conversation, Naomi passed the phone back to me.
"Hey Nat, sorry about that, " I said walking upstairs, so Naomi couldn't hear our conversation.
"Sorry about what?"
"Those last two minutes"
"I love talking to Naomi, she doesn't bore me..." Natalie joked.
I scoffed at her.
"Anyway, back to what I rang you about.."
"Yeah,"
"You still okay with it?"
"Yeah, obviously!"
"Good because I did it!"
"Really?!?"
"Yes!"
"So when is it happening?"
"On Friday!"
"I was planning on telling Naomi tonight, want to be there when I tell her? I was thinking we'd get something nice and I'd tell her over dinner,"
"Of course I'll be there!"
"Get here at 6, right, got to go now, bye!"
"Okay, bye!"
I walked back downstairs and sat on the sofa.
"Natalie's coming over later by the way,"
"Can't wait, oh, can we bake something for when she gets here?"
"Yeah, what do you want to bake?" I stood up and started walking to the kitchen.
"Maybe some cupcakes?"
Naomi followed me in from the lounge.
"Good idea!"
I got all the ingredients out and Naomi just sat on the work surface.
"Uhh, you're helpful..." I joked.
"I know, " She sat there swinging her legs.
"Right, can you measure and put the butter and sugar into the bowl, while I put the oven on and weigh our the flour?"
Naomi hopped off the side and did as I asked her to.
The rest of the baking went quite well, slowly but well, by the time they were cool enough to ice, it was 17:30.
"Naomi, come and help me ice the cakes!" I called from the kitchen. I sighed as I took my apron off and hung it up.
"Naomi!" I called again although she came the second time.
"Half each?"
"Yes, I put the icing on the table for us, but first go and wash your hands."
When she returned, I had already sat at the table, she came and sat opposite me.
"I'm doing roses on top, " I told her.
"Cool, I was going to do..." She was cut of by a knock on the door.
"You want to go and get the door?" I said as Naomi got back up, seconds after sitting down.
"NATALIE!" She exclaimed as she opened the door and then hugged her.
"NAOMI!"
"Chill child, you haven't seen Nat for less than twenty-four hours and you spoke to her about 5 hours ago."
They both laughed.
"Hey Nat, " I said as I hugged her.
"Hey Aims" She replied.
"You want to help us finish icing some cakes?" Naomi asked.
"Sure" she replied as she took off her coat and hung it up.
We all sat around the table to ice the cakes but it took less than 10 minutes with Nat helping as well.
About 1 hour later, I went out to get some fish and chips for dinner and Nat and Naomi stayed at home. When I got back, I found the pair of them unloading the dishwasher.
"Just going to clarify that she told me to, I'm not doing it because I want to, " Naomi said as I opened the front door.
"I see that your sister has a good influence on you, "
Naomi looked at Nat and Nat returned a very maternal look.
"Hey, I saw that maternal look, you better not take my role" I joked at Natalie as we went to the dining room.
"She won't, she'll always be my sister!"
"See!" Nat replied.
