• Chapter Six •
Today was Sunday and I was standing in front of the mirror in only my black Calvin Klein boxers, my hair was slightly damp as was the rest of my body. I felt like such a girl standing in front of the mirror attempting to find something to wear to impress someone that had absolutely no interest in you .
Today I was supposed to go to Graces' . It was a supervised play date, what are you supposed to wear ? sweatpants, jeans ?
I groaned and grabbed my phone off the charger . I checked the time to see I had an hour left till I'd have to leave, but I still had to dress and feed Emma.
After scanning through my closet one last time I decided on a pair of denim jeans and white top with a grey jumper.
After having difficulty styling my hair I decided to just throw on a black snapback.
I walked into the living room to -of course- find Emma stretched out on the black leather couch intently watching SpongeBob.
"Emma, come on we have to get you dressed." I said.
I had already told Emma about todays arrangements to which she seemed delighted. She doesn't have a lot of time with kids her age so I guess its exciting for her.
Although, I don't know how comfortable I was with Emma playing with two boys. A part of me was delighted that two boys her own age had befriended her, but a part of me was worried, boys play rough.
She jumped up at the sound of my voice and walked over to me raising her hands to signal 'lift' .
I grabbed her not wanting to make a fuss and carried her into her bedroom.
"Okay Princess, what do you wanna wear today ?"
She shrugged, as usual.
I picked her up and cuddled her into my chest making her laugh . I sighed before setting her back down and taking out some clothes.
Once I had her dressed appropriately, I carried her -much to my objection- into the kitchen. I set her down on the island opening the cupboards to see what we had.

"Niall and Emma"
"Grace, how are you ?"
"Im grand, and you ?" She laughed winking.
I laughed at her use of 'grand' and answered .
"Im good yah" I smiled.
Just then two small boys who I recgongnised came running in.
"Hi" Emma chirped at the twins. "Hi" they replied smiling.
Emma was pulled away by the two boys to go play while Grace brought me into her flat.
Grace lived in a block of flats, in the same town as us . Expect she lived on a busy side of town, different from what I was used to; with living in a quiet, quant retirement side of town.
Mine and Emma's flat was big, two bedrooms and plain decor. Graces' was basically the opposite, small but with all the interesting decor you wouldn't realise it. A nice kitchen with an island in the middle was where I sat as she poured two cups of coffee.
"So" she began handing me the cup of steaming coffee.
"So" I replied smiling cheekily.
She laughed. "So are you working tomorrow ?"
