Complicated life - Chapter 3
"He's a total fuck up Eff. Cook's right about him he's a waste of space. He wasn't even fucking there. Gone out on a date apparently." Naomi shouted in frustration.
Effy's mouth dropped. "Fucking cock, I can't believe he wasn't there. He's done some things in the past but that is awful. Was Sam upset?" Effy asked worried about how the 3 year old took it. Naomi smirked.
"He couldn't careless. Said ok and then asked if he could come back and play with Cook." Effy laughed.
"Those two really are inseparable aren't they?" Effy asked. Naomi had to smile. It was true they were.
"Yeah, at least I know Sam has one man in his life he can rely on." Naomi told Effy still smiling. She really did appreciate that Cook treated Sam like a Son, he was the stable male figure in Sams life. And Sam loved him.
"So what did you do?" Effy asked Naomi.
"Well Karen answered the door. Sam was pleased to see her and she was pissed with Freddie for not being there. I told her to tell him he can fuck off, I said unless Sam asks to see him I won't make the effort anymore for Freddie. I'm not going to let Fred run rings around me anymore and mess with Sams head. If we carry on like this it will only mess Sam up more than not seeing his Dad at all." Naomi explained. Effy smiled.
"What?" Naomi asked seeing Effy smile at her.
"Nothing, it's just weird seeing your old Naomi Campbell side mixed with your new responsible side." Effy answered. Naomi laughed.
"I just want to do the right thing by Sam Eff, I want him to know who his Dad is and have a relationship with his Dad, but that isn't going to happen until Freddie grows a pair and I haven't seen any signs of that in the last four years. So I won't hold my breath. What do I do Eff?" Naomi asked her best friend becoming teary eyed. Effy immediately got up, and wrapped her arms around Naomi.
"For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing. You were just going round in circles Naoms, something had to give. Sam deserves better. And you know that you two will always have me and Cook. The four of us might be a little dysfunctional sometimes but we work." Naomi laughed. "Then there's JJ, Panda and Thomas. Your Mum and Kieran. My mum and Tony. Sams surrounded by people who love him. If he has your Campbell charm and sarcastic whit then he's going to be one tough, handsome young man. He'll be fine Naoms. And it's not like you took the choice away from him. You said yourself if he asks then you'll take him." Naomi nodded.
"Right come on. Lets get a little tipsy and play some stupid game like we used two." Effy told Naomi. Naomi shook her head.
"I can't. I have to watch Sam." Now it was Effy turn to shake her head.
"Cook bought them two tickets for tomorrow mornings football match. He won't be drinking tonight, he'll watch Sam and we can have a laugh." Effy explained to Naomi. Naomi bite her lip.
"Are you sure he won't mind?" Naomi asked slightly worried they would be taking advantage of Cooks good nature.
"Of course he won't. He'll take Sam to the match in the morning and then drop Sam off here on his way back through. He's got to head down to the club for 1 o'clock. Him and Tony are expecting a delivery. Apparently they both have to sign for it 'Cause there partners now. Fucking stupid. Like a piece of paper needs two signatures. Anyway… he'll be fine with it." Effy reassured her best friend.
"Yeah ok then…. You better fill my glass up." Effy laughed and filled both there glasses back up.
************
About 45 minutes later, a tipsy Naomi and Effy were sat on the sofa laughing as they remembered stuff there group got up to in secondary school and college.
Cook and Sam walked through the door.
"MUMMY" Sam shouted as he ran into the lounge " Uncle Cook let me sit in the front." the little boy announced proudly.
"You little Monster" Cook laughed from the Hall "That was meant to be our secret remember?" The 3 year old giggled. Naomi smiled.
"I think I can let you both off just this once as long as you still sat in your car seat?" she asked looking at Cook as he walked in. Cook frowned
"Well of course he did Naom's its simple in it, he's only three I wouldn't not put him in a car seat." Cook defended himself. He told Sam he would get in trouble if he told his mum.
"I know Cook" Naomi said with a smirk on her face "I was just pis.. Messing around." a slightly tipsy Naomi almost forgot that they were trying not to swear around Sam anymore. Cook had managed to teach him to say Bollocks by accident about 2 months ago and it became Sam's favourite word for weeks.
"Pizza" Sam suddenly shouted. Cook grinned at the little boy.
"Come on then mate lets get you your Pizza" Sam grinned back at Cook. He ran off into the kitchen closely followed by cook. Effy laughed.
"See I told you inseparable" Effy said to Naomi still laughing.
"Can you call Sam a minute please Eff I want to talk to Cook?" Naomi asked a still giggling Effy.
"Sure thing. SAMSTER COME HERE BABE I WANT A CUDDLE." Effy shouted so the 3 year old would be able to hear her in the kitchen. Within a second Sam come bounding through the kitchen door in Effy's direction.
Naomi got up and made her way into the kitchen. Cook was stood putting pizza on plates. She smiled as she watched him place the pizza on Sams plate and draw a happy face on it in tomato sauce. He then continued to take Sam's non-spill cup from the cupboard above his head and fill it with lemonade. Feeling eyes burning into his back he turned around. Him and Naomi smiled at each other.
"Don't worry I know coke makes him hyper its lemonade" Cook explained not realising the blonde already knew. Naomi's smile grew.
"James cook" she said as if it meant something. Cook smirked, Naomi and Effy were the only two people he let get away with calling him by his full name. Although nine out of ten times Effy was calling him it because he had pissed her off.
"Naomi Campbell" he replied smirk still firmly in place.
Naomi walked towards him and throw her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. Cook set Sams cup down on the counter so he could hug her back.
"Whoa Blondie what's all this?" he asked as he wrapped his arms around her hugging her back. Naomi pulled away smiling.
"That's for being a star with Sam and being there for him. I don't tell you and Effy enough but I really do appreciate it. Especially from you Cook, he really looks up to you." Naomi explained. Cook grinned at her.
"No fucking worries Naomikins, I love the lad to bits. He's a proper good kid. No need for thanks though, all in a days work. What family's for init? Anyway... I think a certain blonde maybe slightly pissed" Cook replied with a smile trying hard to change the subject. Naomi laughed and rolled her eyes. Cook never was one for compliments or heart to hearts. Although as they had got older he had become slightly better at taking praise. Naomi lent up and kissed him on the cheek. They smiled at each other knowing what the other was thinking
"You know Naoms if you weren't Gay I might not be with Effy now." Trust Cook to ruin the moment Naomi thought.
"I heard that" Effy shouted from the front room.
"Bitch, I swear she's a mind reader. Fucking know it all" Cook said laughing.
"James Cook, I heard that to." Effy shouted once again.
Naomi and Cook laughed. Yeah some things would never change.
So I hope that you all liked this…. Good? Bad? Loved it? Hated it? Let me know with that little green button bellow please….. Thanks for reading Skinsstar7 x
