Pericoloso

Chapter 3

I thought this picture looked really cool and it fits with the chapter later on :)

Things are starting to become more suspicious in this chapter ;)

•♡•♡•♡•♡•

I was right last night Naomi did have to go to her secret job. I admit at first I wasn't happy about her keeping a secret from me, which caused some problems and fights between us. But after a few weeks she told me that her job is very dangerous and she took an oath not to tell anyone. I had trouble understanding why exactly she couldn't tell me but I respected her loyalty to the company she is working for so, after awhile I stopped asking so many questions. 

Besides when Naomi had to leave for work at night and sometimes more it gives me an opportunity to spend time with Nora. Since Naomi left shortly after dinner I didn't get as much time as I would like with Nora, but I know exactly how to make the most of the time we have.

First we colored in princess coloring books. As she scribbled on multiple different pages, I continued coloring my favorite princess, Cinderella.

Ever since I was little I loved Cinderella. Mostly because she was part of who I was named after. Cinderella was also my mom's favorite princess she thought that 'Ella' was too popular of a name and she wanted something more unique so, she named me 'Cinder'. 

After we were done coloring I agreed to doing her favorite thing, playing dress up. I ended up as Cinderella again and she chose Belle, who is my second favorite princess.

Finally it wad time for bed so we changed into the matching pajamas I bought for Christmas that say 'I have the best Aunt ever' and 'I have the best niece ever'. We gathered all the pillows and blankets and I started on the fort as she placed the pillows for us to sleep on. Once the fort was built I turned on her favorite movie 'Hercules'. I layed with her attached to my side as I lay on my stomach and fell asleep to the sound of the automated film playing in the background.

I woke up to the front door closing shut, meaning Naomi was home from work.

I slowly pry myself away from the sleeping child next to me and stretch out my limbs.

Once I open my eyes again, I see Naomi peeking her head into the fort's entrance. She smiles at the sight of her beautiful daughter sleeping on the mass of pillows.

When I carefully exist the fort  I have the sudden realization of what I have to do today.

"Hey sis what time is it?"

She looks down at her watch and says with a hint of confusion in her voice, "around 7:30, why?"

"I uh have to go to the library before my first class so, I can catch up on the homework from yesterday."

"Okay. Oh, thank you for watching Nora last night. It looks like you guys had fun." She glances at my footy pajamas and the fort me and Nora slept in and a small frown appears on her face.

"You know she loves you right?"

"Of course, I just wish I had more time with her."

"Are you kidding? You walk into the door and she begs for you, she asks about you all the time and she absolutely adores you. You are her mother Naomi and she will always have a special bond with you. One day she will understand that you working all the time was your way of showing that you are doing the best for her."
