New Beginnings and New Friends- Chapter 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ariel's POV:

I woke up to the sounds of birds chirping outside my window. I always love waking up to the birds' chirping. I don't know why. Something about it soothes me and always helps me wake up in a good mood. I climbed down from my bed not bothering to be quiet. Mum was always up before 8 o'clock every morning. Why? Well I don't really know. All she tells me is that during the job she had before and while she was pregnant with me, one of the requirements was to be at work by 7o'clock every morning all week except on the weekends. She never told me where she worked at. She would just look a bit nervous every time I asked.

Mum can be a nice person if I don't, as she says, "pester [her] with so many questions." Mum is 5 foot, brown eyed, short brown hair which reaches right to her chin, and is average weight for a woman her age. Mum isn't too old. She is 40 years old, but has a nice personality once you get past her protective barriers. She loves me very much and always tells me how much she would miss me if I were to ever leave. Whatever that means. I don't look like my mum. Whenever we go out, people always tell her what a beautiful child she has and how I must be an exact replica of my dad since it seems like the only thing I inherited from her was her fair skin.

Today was no exception for my mum to be awake at 7 o'clock, and for me to be awake too. Today was her wedding. She will be getting married to this wonderful man who loves both of us. His name is Joseph Clearwater. He runs a huge magazine company in London. The magazine headquarters are here in Cheshire, which is why he is always around. Mum works as Joseph's personal assistant. What I love about Joseph is the fact that he is very respectful. He never does anything without everyone's approval.

The night before he proposed to my mum he asked me, "Ariel, how would you feel if I tell you that I want to marry your Mum?"

I responded with, "Well if you make Mum happy then I'm happy. In other words if she approves I approve. I would love it if you became my dad."

Memories like these always start off my day in a great way. When I went downstairs to my mum, I saw she was on the phone. I heard she was giving the person the directions to the church and to the party for later on. Once Mum was off the phone I ran up to her and gave her a huge hug. Apparently I shocked her because she jumped, but once she saw it was me, she gave me a hug.

"Good morning my little princess! Breakfast is on the table. When you're done make sure to push your chair in and put you plate in the sink. Then go up stairs to shower. We will be going to the salon in an hour."

"Morning Mum! Ok I'll go eat breakfast then."

You see I'm quite smart for a girl who will barely be turning 5 in 2 weeks. Even though I will barely be 5, I know a lot of information, but that's because I have a photographic memory. But just because I'm smart, that doesn't mean I still wasn't curious as to whom Mum was talking to. So while I was eating I asked her.

"Mum who were you talking to the phone just now?"

She laughed and kissed my cheek. "Oh my, aren't you a curious little girl today. Well I was talking to Gemma's mum."

Gemma was my babysitter. During her school vacations and other occasions she will babysit me while Mum was out. I loved her. She is always so nice. When Gemma can't babysit me, Mum sends me to Mrs. White. Mrs. White lives right across the street and is 72 years old. Mr. White died 10 years ago so she is a widow. She's nice and friendly. Every time she babysits me she always has cookies ready, so she isn't so bad. I still prefer Gemma though. Gemma tells me that she has a younger brother that's the same age as me. She tells me that his birthday is on February 1, 1994. My birthday is on July 13, 1994, so he is 5 months older than me. Gemma has never told me his name though.
