Ariel's P.O.V
It was around 6pm when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I ask.
"Your lover" Gemma says.
I chuckle and open the door and Gemma jumps in my arms.
"Ariel I missed you so much" She says.
"Gemma" I groan. "You're heavy as fuck"
"I don't care I haven't hugged you in two months" She says.
I put her down and I close the door.
"I come bearing gifts" She says picking up the bags. "Where's Eric?"
"Watching TV" I say closing the door.
"Hey Eric" I heard Gemma says.
"Aunt Gemmy" Eric squeals.
Gemma picks him up and kisses his cheek before placing him back on the couch.
"Where's Alexis?" I ask.
"Seeing her parents" She says. "She said she'll pop by later if she can"
"Ok I'm off work tomorrow anyways" I say.
"Here Eric I got you something" Gemma says giving him a bag.
"Thank you" Eric says before ripping the bag apart.
"Wow he's a fierce one just like his momma" Gemma jokes.
I chuckle. "Shut it"
"Here got you this" She says giving me a bag.
I open it and sigh and look at Gemma.
"You went to Dubai and out of all the things you could possibly get me...you got me lingerie?" I ask.
"What? It's sexy" She says. "You can wear it when Mikey comes home and you can have mind blowing sex"
"You're out of your nut" I say. "I'm not surprised"
"Mommy what's lingerie?" Eric asks.
"Oh Eric it's the best thing in the world" Gemma says.
"Why the hell did I make you Godmother?" I ask.
"Because you love me"
"Nah that's not it" I say grabbing two glasses and a bottle of red wine before pouring it into both glasses and handing one to Gemma.
"So how's Mikey?" She asks.
"Yeah he's totally good" I say. "He's getting impatient too"
"Of course if I was in the same place for that long I'll probably go mental" Gemma comments.
"You and me both" I say. "But I told him to ask if he could plead his case or something to get out early"
"Oh like in Law and Order" She says.
"Yeah exactly" I say.
"Hmm maybe he can" She says. "Hopefully that happens"
"Yeah and he can get out and we can get married" I say.
"Oh you've talked out it?" She asks.
I nod. "Yeah but it's gonna be a small one probably go to the registry office and sign it before having a party with friends and family"
"Sounds perfect for the both of you" She says.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"Who can this be now?" I ask getting up.
I went to the door and opened it and saw a middle aged man standing there.
"Um hello" I say.
"Hi there I'm Ben Washington" He says.
"Oh Mr Washington hi I met your wife earlier" I say. "How can I help?"
"Just wanted to introduce myself" He says smiling.
"Cool I'm Ariel Clifford" I say. "Nice to meet you"
"The pleasure's mine" He says. "Beth has made this and we would like to share it with you"
He gives me a plate of what looks like brownies.
"Oh uh thanks" I say taking it.
"You're welcome have a great night" He says smiling.
"You too" I reply. "See ya"
I close the door and walk back into the kitchen and placed the plate of brownies down and took the plastic cover off of it.
"What is that?" She asks.
"Brownies" I say. "Or some kind of chocolate mess"
Gemma picks it up. "Looks like shit"
"Aunty Gemma bad word" Eric shouts from the living room.
"Sorry hun" Gemma shouts back.
I chuckle. "I swear everyone I chat with always swears in front of him"
"Yeah because before you had him you swore 24/7"
"Yeah well I'm a changed woman" I say. "I'm more mature"
"And you're boobs are bigger" She says
I sigh "Till this day I'm surprised you're married"
"Well that's not nice" She says. "Oh and did I hear you say Ariel Clifford?"
I smile. "Maybe"
"You really can't wait to marry him" Gemma says before pouring herself more wine.
"Well I would've been married by now but my soon to be husband is in jail" I say. "Eric honey it's time for bed"
Eric comes inside and pouts.
"5 more minutes please?" He asks.
"How about if you brush your teeth and change into your pyjamas Gemma will read you a bedtime story" I suggest.
"Uh hey" Gemma mumbles. "I didn't agree to this"
"Ok" Eric says before running upstairs.
"You're welcome" I say.
"Luckily he's my favourite godson" Gemma says.
"He's your only godson" I say. "What are we doing with these brownies?"
"Let's at least try them" She says.
We both take one before trying it and we both spat it out.
"Ok that's going in the bin" I say chucking all of it in the bin.
"God that was awful" Gemma says drinking more wine. "Did they not try it before giving it to you?"
I shrug. "Who knows?"
"Aunty Gemmy I'm ready" Eric shouts.
"Go on Gem" I say.
"I hate you for making me do this" She says glaring at me before walking off.
"Love you too"
"Oh fuck off"
