"Mummy are we there yet?" Joey whinnied for the hundredth time this car journey.
"No sweetie not yet, but very so ok?"I see him nod in his dinosaur car seat. I smile at how cute he is.
"Mummy...how big is the house?"
"You'll just have to wait and see, wont you?" I smile at him, never removing me eyes from the road. About 5 minutes later I pull into our drive way.
Our new house that aunt Abby got us is simple, just the way I like it. It has three bedrooms, one bathroom and the normal kitchen and living room.
I visited the house a few weeks ago to move and sort everything out so it was ready for me and Joey to move into it. Joey's bedroom it dinosaur themed, and full of toys Abby got him. Mine is basic dresser, wardrobe, desk but at least I have a king sized bed.
I turn around in my seat so I'm facing him (after I carefully parked the car and double checked the hand-brake was on) "Well this is it Joey..." I state and I can already see the excitement on the his little face "And if I save up I might be able to buy you a swing" he nods his head vigorously while looking at the house in awe.
"Are you just stare at our new house? Or are you going to go exploring?" I smile
"Explore! Explore! Explore!" he squeals and I laugh.
We moved from London to Roseville, Virginia, it's a small town. Joey grew up in London and has a strong accent were as I have only I tint of one. Our Aunt Abby bought a house for us, but she's always away with business. She loves her job and it pays well so it's ok, I can't complain especially when I still feel guilty for causing her so much trouble with me and Joey.
I can already tell Joey's going to be a heart-breaker when he's older, with his golden blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and cute button nose. Me? Well I'm just average, average hight, average weight, average everything. Just plain Jane.
"Well come on then" I laugh while I start to take him out of his car seat and pick him up. "Omf, your growing up to fast Joey!" he giggles.
I walk up to the door while trying to, and struggling, carry Joey. The boy can't sit still for more than ten seconds! I put him down and he hugs my legs tightly. He's a hugger. I cover his eyes while opening the door.
"Mummy stop! I wanna see!" he shouts trying to pull my hands away. I take them away and he runs into our new house.
For the next hour and a half is me basically chasing after Joey trying to stop him from hurting himself while he runs around the house seven times.
"Jo- *breath*- ey!" he finally stops and collapses on the floor, but soon crawls onto the sofa watching something on TV.
Just as I was about to call the pizza place for our dinner (I need to go shopping sometime) there's a knock on the door. I look a Joey he has the same confused look as me. I walk to the door and open it. The door reveals three girls around the same age as me.
"Hi I'm Bex" the closet one says to me "We just wanted to welcome you and your family to our street. We're your new neighbours" she smiles again. 'Bex' has a heavy British accent and reminds me of a Egyptian goddess with her dark hair, glowing cappuccino skin and caramel-coloured eyes. "Guys say hi" she whisper-shouts back to the other two girls.
"Hi I'm Liz" a pixie like girl says shyly with a slight southern accent. She was a short blonde bob, light blue eyes and is very skinny, but she had that geek-chic look about her.
"Macey" the last girl said in a bored tone not looking up from inspecting her nails. She looked Vogue worthy long thick black hair, very bright blue eyes and curves any girl would be jealous of. And a diamond nose stud properly worth more than this house.
"Be nice Mace!" Bex whisper-shouts again.
"Mummy who are the people?" Joey ask me hiding behind my legs.
"They're our new neighbours sweetie" I reassure him.
"oh ok"
'Macey' coughs gaining my attention. "Oh yeah, I'm Cammie" I smile warmly at them, trying not to be rude.
Joey coughs like Macey did, "...and this little cutie is Joey, my little brother"
"Mummy I told you I'm not little!" he says annoyed, I roll my eyes but Bex crouches down in front of Joey and he hugs my legs tighter.
"Hello Joey I'm Bex. And if I heard right you're a Londoner like me" she smiles
"Yes" he replies shyly, she chuckles.
"Welcome to Roseville" Liz speaks quietly.
"thank you" I reply kindly.
"Where'd you get your jeans, Walmart?" Macey asks rudely but in a challenging tone. Finally looking up from inspecting her nails.
"yeah acutely, and they were on sale too!" I squeal fakly keeping a straight-face. A sly smile creeps onto her face.
"I like her" she states
"Good" I reply with a sly smile for myself.
"But we seriously have to do something about your outfi-" she's cut off by Bex, but she just rolls her eyes.
"Hey why don't you come shopping with us tomorrow? You know...get to know each other more before you start school...have some familiar faces" Bex asks with a nodding Liz. I look down at Joey unsure.
"Your parents could look after Joey for you right?" she asks noticing my doubtfulness. I swallow.
"My parents aren't home, they're away" not a complete lie "I'm not sure...sorry"
"you can bring Joey" Liz adds
"What do you think Joey?" I ask looking down. He nods and I smile.
"Sure we'll come, What time?"
"twelve? We'll pick you up" Liz asks I nod smiling. I think I've made friends already...I'm not sure how I feel about it.
"Great"
"So see ya tomorrow?" I nod again, wow there's a lot of nodding, "Bye Cammie, Bye Joey" they call as they leave.
We ate our dinner of pizza later on and now it was about half eight.
"Joey time for bed!" I shout from the kitchen I get a sharp "NO!" back. Time to go into mum mode. I walk into the living room arms crossed even all 5"3 of me can be intimidating, "What was that?" I raise an eyebrow
he looks down scared and sad "sorry" he squeaks, I smile
"It's ok sweetie, lets just get ready for bed we've had a long day will do tomorrow too" he nods and starts to walk up the stairs.
After I finish getting Joey ready for bed I get ready myself. I throw on my; 'I have a love hate relationship with healthy food, I love to hate it'. And I tie my hair in a messy bun. Just as I start to close my eyes my bedroom door creaks open. I see a small figure at the door clinging to an old teddy bear.
"Can I sleep with you tonight mummy? The shadows scare me" he admits I pat my bed and he rushes over. He snuggles on next to me; head laying on my stomach and arms wrapped around me. "Love you mummy" he whispers tiredly.
I kiss his hair "Love you Joey, no matter what..."
