Cheryl’s POV

I’m in the car driving home when I say to Bella

“Bella darling do you want to go  and get some fish and chips?” I turn to look at her and she smile and nods her head so I take a left and make my way to the chip shop.

After eating me and Bella sit in the front room watching a film, half way through I look at her and see she has fallen asleep I gently pick her up in my arms and walk her to the room she will be staying in which is Nicola’s room I’ve changed it a bit for more Bella’s taste I put her in bed with her clothes still on as I don’t wont to wake her up I kiss her on the head and leave the room.

I’m laying in bed and staring at the ceiling thinking about nothing my mind Is blank I turn my head and look at the picture staring back at me I smile its me, Nicola and Bella on her first birthday I remember the day well I let a sigh out and let my mind wonder and I start thinking about Kimberley her eyes are lovely I think and her smile she has big full lips and her hugs are so warm and comforting I imagine what it would be like to kiss those lips then I stop my self what am I thinking I’ve just met her and she is becoming my friend and believe me I need a friend and I don’t want to mess it up and will forget I ever thought about kissing her and get on with stuff as normal I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep
