Thanks for reading, much appreciated! Would love some reviews though, what do you think of Jaimee? Which relationship do you like the best? Jaimee and the lads? Jaimee and Julie? Jaimee and Rob? Jaimee and Carla/Michelle? Love reading your feedback as I feel it makes me a better writer :-) Thanks! Please read and review. Enjoy xxx
A month had now passed and Jaimee stepped out of her car, which she's parked up outside Julie and Brian's. She'd been in London for the past three weeks, spending time with the lads and keeping an eye on things at the garage. Now back on Coronation Street she felt refreshed and happy again for the first time since finding out about Sam's betrayal.
'Hello stranger!' Steve called from outside Street Cars; he is sat on the ground sipping a coffee, relaxing.
'Steve! I see your skiving as usual.' Jaimee teased, making her way over to him.
'Oi! I'll have you know I'm a very hard working man.' Steve replied, pretending to be offended.
'Yeah, yeah ok. How are you anyway?' Jaimee asked, kissing Steve on the cheek.
'I've got a business, a daughter and I'm with the most amazing woman in the world. It's a hard life.'
'You're a very lucky man. I hope you've been looking after her.'
'She's got no complaints.' Steve smirked.
'Erghh too much info Steve.' Jaimee squirmed, making Steve laugh.
'You seem a lot happier now.'
'Yeah I'm feeling good thanks. That little break did me the world of good.'
'Glad to hear it. Your mum and Michelle have been like little lost puppies without you.'
'I've missed them too. It's great to be back. Anyway I better be off, I've got a few people to see.'
'Nice to see you again.'
'See you around.' Jaimee called over her shoulder and she made her way towards the bookies.
'Hello step-father to be.' Jaimee grinned, poking her head round the door.
'Aww Jay! You didn't tell us you were back today.' Peter greeted her, clearly pleased by her return.
'A bit of a last minute decision if I'm honest. I was getting homesick.' Jaimee explained, walking behind the counter.
'And how are you feeling now you're home?'
'Absolutely amazing, on top of the world.' Jaimee exclaimed, her trademark cheeky grin well and truly back on her face.
'I'm so pleased. You look really well.' Peter embraced her in a warm hug. 'You're mum's gonna be made up to see you, she's been lost without you.'
'Yeah Steve was telling me. Is she over at the factory?'
'She's gone to a meeting with Michelle, should be back in an hour or two though. Your Uncle Rob's in charge.'
'I think I'll pop over and show my face.' Jaimee walked out to the front of the counter.
'Ok well why don't you come round for your tea tonight? Simon will be so excited to see you.' Peter offered.
'Yeah that sounds great, thank you.' Jaimee said, leaving the bookies.
Outside the factory, Jaimee walks across the forecourt and starts making her way up the stone steps.
'Hi.' Matt called, walking out of the cabin.
'Matt. I didn't realise you'd come back to Wetherfield.' Jaimee turned around upon hearing his voice. Her heart started thumping in her chest and she caught sight of his handsome face.
'Looks like neither of us can stay away for long.'
'Yeah something like that.'
'You look good.'
'You too.'
'Maybe we could go for a drink sometime?'
'I'd like that.'
'I've got to get back to work now but I'll text you.'
'Ok, bye.'
'Bye.'
Matt watches as Jaimee enters Underworld. Inside the factory, Jaimee approaches the workers who are busy stitching.
'I hope my Uncle Rob's not working you girls too hard.' Jaimee joked.
'He's a slave driver love.' Beth moaned.
'Is he really?' Jaimee raised her eyebrows, amused by Beth's dramatic statement.
'It's nice to see you back Jaimee.' Julie smiled fotly at her.
'Thanks Julie. I don't suppose my room's still available is it?' Jaimee asked, nervously.
'Course it is. It's exactly how you left it.' Julie reassured her.
'Wicked, cheers.'
'I thought I heard a familiar voice.' Rob said, walking out of the office.
'They've just been telling me you're a tough boss.' Jaimee informed him.
'I have to be when I'm in charge of a bunch of chatty women.' Rob replied before turning to Hayley. 'Hayley, do us a favour and bring two coffees into the office.'
'Yes Mr Donovan.' Hayley replied obediently.
'Hang on a minute Hayles, Uncle Rob forgot something then.'
'What?' Rob asked, confused.
'Manners don't cost a penny.' Jaimee lectured her uncle, much to the delight of the workers.
'Wow I just got a flashback to my childhood. Your gran was forever saying that to me.'
'And you took no notice obviously.'
'Fine. Hayley would you bring two coffee's into the office, please?' Rob repeated in his nicest voice.
'Of course.' Hayley replied, scurrying off to the kitchen area.
'That wasn't so hard was it?' Jaimee grinned at Rob who couldn't help but smile before turning round to face the girls. 'Us girls have got to stick together eh?'
'Come and be our boss Jay. You'd be ace.' Beth giggled.
'No way! Dealing with Carla and Michelle is hard enough with adding my cheeky little niece into the mix.' Rob chuckled.
At the medical centre, Matt is alone in his surgery, waiting on his next patient. He takes his mobile from his pocket and types a text:
Was great to see you before, you looked gorgeous. How does tomorrow night suit you? Matt xxx
He sends the text and eagerly awaits a reply, which comes through within seconds.
Tomorrows perfect. Rovers at half 7 then onto the Bistro? Jaimee xxxx
Matt smiles upon reading her response before typing a reply:
It's a date ;-) xxxx
Over at the factory, Rob and Jaimee at in the office. Rob watches as Jaimee reads Matt's text, a huge grin on her face.
'Who's the lucky fella then?'
'Who said it was a bloke?'
'Your mum had that look on her face every time Paul text her when they first got together. I'd recognise it anywhere.'
'It's Matt Carter. I'm seeing him tomorrow night.'
'From a fireman to a doctor. Let's hope he doesn't treat you as bad as Sam.'
'He's nothing like Sam. Please just be happy for me.'
'I am. It's not that I don't like him, it's just I don't want you getting hurt again. We might not have been around much when you were a kid but we love you so much.'
'And I appreciate you looking out for me but I've got a really good feeling about this. It feels different to last time.'
'All I will say is, be careful.' Rob warned, protective of Jaimee.
'I will. I promise.'
'Go and get yourself something nice for your date.' Rob said, taking £50 out of his wallet and giving it to Jaimee.
'Aww thanks Uncle Rob, you're a diamond.' Jaimee squealed in excitement, giving Rob a kiss on the cheek.
