Reunited in L.A

Chapter Two : Adjusting

It's the next day

Malika's P.O.V

"Hey mum...where are you?" Sitting up on the new coach and looking around the room, wondering how I ended up on the new coach.

"Hey beautiful. You finally awake?" As she comes through the front door carrying a large box. I can tell she was struggling. I quickly got up from the coach still half asleep and helped her carry the box into the living room. 

"Mum...can I ask you something?" Yawning, sitting back on the coach again.

"What is it sweetie?" She asks while she sits beside me on the coach.

"How did I end up on the coach?" Confused.

"Yesterday when we got here you were so tired you sat on the new coach for a while and eventually you fell asleep because it was so comfy!" Laughing.

"Oh that explains every..." Being cut off.

"Anyway it doesn't matter! Look what time it is! It's 2:00pm!" She rises her eyebrows and folds her arms, looking at me.

"Sorry mum!" Trying not to laugh.

Suddenly the new house phone starts to ring. She goes to the kitchen to answer the call. After a few minutes, she ends the call and comes back to the living room.

"Mum who was that?" I ask.

"Oh that was the delivery guy.  He will be here shortly, to drop off the new furniture I ordered." While walking to the front door and looking outside to check if there was any sign of him yet.

"You ordered new furniture?" Looking at her confused.

"Yes I thought it would make the place look a bit more...well you know...brand new!" As she sees the delivery guy park up near our driveway.

"Malika go and get ready quickly, I don't know about you but I am hungry!" As she comes up to me hugging me and messing my hair up even more. Which made me laugh a little.

I just nod my head even though she can't see me and I go upstairs. I look into the room that already has my bed in it. I walk to the centre of the room and look around. It's completely massive compared to my old little room I use to have. I could feel that I was getting upset and so I took a deep breath in and out and opened a box, full of my clothes that was sitting on my bed. I decided to wear a plain white t-shirt, my black jeans and my black boots. I then put on a little bit of make up and decide to head downstairs.

"The delivery guy is gone so hurry up let's go!". Shouting from the kitchen.

"Mum I am ready!". Being awfully dramatic.

"Okay okay.. Let's go now!" . Walking out the door and laughing.

We head to the car, I look at the house next to ours and I don't think anyone was at home but I wonder what our new neighbours are like? Are they people who party all day and night? Are they troublemakers? Are they loud? Are they rude? Or are they generally nice? Quick thoughts came rushing through my head. I quickly looked away and had thought to myself that I would have to wait and find out.

I then jumped into our car and drove to the supermarket. After getting something to eat we decided to buy some groceries and other bits and pieces that was needed for the house. 

                                                                                     

                                                                                     ****

We then went back to our new house to fix and place the new furniture and put away the groceries. Later on in the evening we decided to stay home and watch a film.

"Malika so what do you think about our new home?". Asking me during the film.

"Mum I am not too sure. I feel like I need time to adjust. It's just completely different to our old house. This house is way too big and I kinda preferred having a nice, cosy and small house. Where it was just our little family...". Still looking at the tv.

"Mali..". Getting annoyed.

"But..." Cutting in as I could tell she was annoyed. "If  you think this new life is going to make you and me happy then I will try my best and I'll see how it goes. I just want to see you happy mum. I honestly don't know what I'll do without you! I love you mum." Getting emotional.

"Aww I love you too my baby girl and I knew you would come around sooner or later!". Kissing me on my forehead and hugging me tight.

The film was finished and we decided to head up to bed and call it a night.
