Sam and Tom were sitting on their sofa in Sam's apartment watching Hunger Games.
'Shall I order a Chinese?' Tom asked.
'Sure, my usual before you ask,' Sam replied.
Tom rang the Chinese place and ordered when there was a knock on the door. Sam got up and answered the door. She opened it to see her neighbour standing there with his daughter who was only 9.
'Could you look after this weekend please, Chantelle and I are going to a funeral and it isn't a suitable place for this little on,' Shane said.
'Sure. When will you be leaving us?' ask Sam.
'Friday evening.'
'Ok, I'll see ya then.'
Sam shut the door and went back into the sitting room and curled up beside Tom, head in his chest with his arm around her. Their takeaway came half an hour later.
'Who was that at the door by the way?' Tom asked.
'Shane wants us to look after Lucy from Friday evening to Sunday as they're going to a funeral,' replied Sam.
'You have two days to sort out the spare bedroom then.'
Sam smiled a small smile thinking what fun that was going to be. She made a mental note to ask for an early leave on Friday so she could be there when Lucy comes.
'Zoe, I need to get off early tomorrow because my neighbours have to go somewhere and they're leaving their daughter with me and Tom,' Sam said.
'Finish at lunchtime then?' Zoe asked.
Sam nodded and thanked her. She then went on doing her work. She had to treat a man with a broken leg and two broken ribs who had fallen from a tree and a teenage girl who broke her arm but nothing exciting came up that day so it was boring.
She was glad when her shift was over and went to the pub for 1 drink as she had to start getting the house ready for Lucy. She went with a couple of her mates who would be staying longer than her except for Tom.
She soon made her way home unaware that Tom had a surprise for her.
What will the surprise be and don't say proposal because it won't be that. I need more ideas! K xx
