"...and then they lived happily ever after," I finished reading the book in my hands. I glanced at the watch on my wrist. The longest hand just landed on 30, so it was on 7:30.
"One more time?" Amelia asked, her beautiful brown eyes dilated with curiosity. "Maybe tomorrow night, okay?" I said quietly, closing the 'Cinderella' book and placing it on the side table.
She pouted, putting her puppy dog eyes on.
I chuckled, kissing her forehead. "You have to get some sleep," I said sternly, "You have day care tomorrow."
I slipped out of the blankets, tucking Amelia in. I quickly pressed my lips to her forehead again, making her giggle.
Down the side of the bed, I leaned down and switched on the night light and turned off the lamp.
"Nighty night, Mummy," Amelia said, tucking her chin over her duvet.
I stared down into my daughter's eyes, smiling softly when she yawned. "Goodnight Millie. I'll see you in the morning."
I walked out of her bedroom and straight in to mine. I sat on top of my soft bed, opening up my Apple laptop. It was already turned on so I just had to open up the applications I had running.
I bit my bottom lip and tapped on the 'SEND' button. Most of the day I had been searching for jobs around town, preferably near Millie's day care. The only two that were hiring was: the local library or Beacon Coffee & Tea. Being a librarian sounded so boring, so I decided with the latter.
Hopefully they'll like my résumé. I've had a lot of café experiences so I know all the dos and don'ts, but I'm worried they'll turn me down because I've got a five year old daughter. It's been hard for me to get a job, especially after I gave birth to Amelia. The job I did have, my boss fired me.
Sighing, I closed my laptop and put it away. I slipped into my king-size bed all by myself, and it didn't take me that long to hit the hay.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. I've gotta drop Amelia off at day care, then I've gotta be at Uni by 9 in the morning–my classes only run for half a day so I have enough time to do some food shopping and then pick Amelia up.
A/N: I know this is short, but I just wanted to post something for you guys. I haven't had enough time to write anything because I've got a lot of school work to do. Year 11 is harder than I thought.
This is the re-vamped version of Demons, it'll start in season two. Nikola is now called Mary.
