Flo POV:
I'm woken with a jolt as I suddenly feel weight on my chest. My eyes flutter open to see Lux on top of me in a school uniform, I suppose I'm coming on the school run.
"Come school with me and mama." She tilts her head flashes me a smile.
"Good morning my little cherub." I ruffle her hair and return the smile.
"Can you do my hair? Mama's in the shower." Lux asks.
"Of course. How would you like it?" I grab my phone to take a picture of Lux who's still sitting on top of me. "Lux, smile for Uncle Harry!"
She pulls a funny face, I hit send and sit up in bed. Lux positions herself in between my legs, handing me a variety of clips and scrunchies. "Plaits please."
With ease I braid her blonde hair, I put cute yellow scrunchies at the bottom to match her uniform.
"Finished!" Immediately she hops off the bed to go show Lou.
"Lux!" I hear Lou scold. "Come here I..oh god I'm sorry." She says chasing Lux back into my room.
"It's fine." I laugh.
She rolls her eyes and shakes her head. "I'll make you breakfast. Right..." She scoops Lux up into her arms. "Come here monkey!"
I wander into the bathroom and take a quick shower, I dress in sports leggings and a hoodie. I throw my hair up into a messy bun as I head downstairs, I see Lux eating a bowl of cookie crisp at the kitchen table.
"Weetabix okay?" Lou asks placing a cup of tea in front of me.
I nod. "Yes please."
"Flo, you didn't tell me you were good at hair." She puts a bowl down in front of me.
"Hmm?"
"Seriously! Can I train you? I need someone to do Harry's hair and face while he's on tour, I can't do it with Lux in school now." She confesses.
"I mean, if you think I could." I'm chuffed.
Lou takes a sip of her coffee. "We'll talk about it soon."
"Mama?" Lux interrupts.
I look up from my bowl and Lou from her mug. "Yes monkey."
"Can I call Flo, Aunt Flo?" Lux is a bit apprehensive as though she doesn't know whether what she's asking is good or bad.
My mouth opens a little taken aback, I didn't expect to hear that at all or at least after a weekend.
"If you want to Lux, you'll need to ask Flo not me." Lux turns to me.
"Flo?"
"Lux?"
"Can I call you Aunt Flo?" Lux bats her eyelashes, not that I'd say no ever.
Lou coughs and mouths 'please' to Lux. "Please." She repeats.
"I'd like that a lot." I'm beaming from ear to ear, I never thought someone so small and blonde could make me love her this much.
Lux throws her arms round my neck and squeezes me tightly, I peck her cheek. "Alright, now go and get your stuff for school!"
Lux whizzes off, leaving Lou and I at the table. We look at each other and laugh, Lux is such a character. "Are you good with all that?"
Lou raises her eyebrows. "You kidding?! I'm buzzing, I told you she has a kid sixth sense thing and that means she knows you're gonna be around permanently."
I stand up and put my empty dishes in the sink, Lou follows and moments later Lux returns to the kitchen with her coat and backpack. Lou hands her a packed lunch box from the fridge, she puts it in her bag and takes a water bottle from the kitchen table.
"Lux, go stand by the door and do the morning check. Aunt Flo and I..." She flashes me a smile. "...will be there in a moment."
Lou grabs her leather jacket from the back of the chair, she looks incredibly effortless today; black fitted pants, vans and a white shirt. "The morning check is something I make her do, to get her in the habit of being familiar with what she has to take to school and always remembering it." I nod. "C'mon lets go."
By the time we leave it's just gone eight. Lux takes my hand, I buckle her in to her car seat and then strap myself in. My first school run, hopefully of many.
