Chapter 15  

She awoke the next morning as her alarm went off. She sat up and looked at the time, 6 am. As she slowly started to wake up she remembered she had to take Charlie to school today, she let out a small sigh as she got up and got dressed. Yawning she headed for Charlie’s room. She carefully opened the door as she said “Charlie sweetie it’s time to get up, last day of school before your vacation” and by that she left the room. She walked down the stairs yawning and headed for the kitchen. As she placed the box of cereals on the table she saw Charlie running around the corner humming a cheerful melody, “someone's in a good mood today huh” Camilla said smiling as he entered the kitchen “yup would you take me to the park later?” He said as he poured up some cereals into his bowl, “yeah I kinda owe you one don't I” she said playful as she saw him nod with his mouth full of cereal and a big smiling struggling to keep the food in his mouth, “okay then, when I pick you up after school you and I will be heading back to the park just you and me and it will be our little secret, deal?” Again Charlie sent her a smile while struggling to keep the food in, “alright but this is only if you finish up here and go straight up and brush your teeth and get ready okay?” Camilla said as Charlie took another big spoonful of cereal and nodded wildly at her. Smiling she left the kitchen to go get dressed herself, as she reached the upper level she tiptoed her way past Andrew’s bedroom and towards her own.  

After some time she heard a quiet knock on her door followed by a whispering Charlie “Cam I'm ready now” she turned around and sent him a smile as she said “okay last one to reach…” As she continued she carefully grabbed her keys “the car is a sour grape!” By that she ran past the little boy and headed for the stairs. Halfway down she stopped and looked over her shoulder, gliding down the handle Charlie came laughing. A smile spread across her face as she watched him gliding all the way down and running out the door. As she reached the car Charlie was already in his seat, as she opened up the door in the driver side Charlie said “IwinIwinIwinyou'reasougrapeyou'reasourgrapehaha” laughing she got in and started the car. As they drove along the way towards the school, they had a sing along.  

As she pulled up in front of the school Charlie was already halfway out of the car, “hey young man, at least wait until the car has stopped. I'll be here when you're off okay? And then I'll take you to the car as promised” she said as the little guy stopped and turned around and smiled at her as he said “okay!” And by that he ran off. A smile spread across her face as she started the car and started to head home.  

As she drove up into the driveway she looked at the time 8:30 she wanted to just back into bed. She got out of the car and headed inside. Shortly after she had closed the front door after her she heard a knock. A sigh escaped her lips before she turned around and opened the door. On the other side of the door stood a familiar face with two cups of coffee, “so I know it isn't pizza but…” He sent her a small smile as he said “but coffee?” “Why thank you good sir, to what do I owe this pleasure?” She answered as she took the cup out of coffee. A smile spread across his face as he said “well I was just in the neighborhood and wanted to get you coffee. So what are we doing today?” As Camilla was about to answer she heard a mumble behind her followed by a few bangs, she looked over her shoulder too see Andrew up and humping down the stairs behind her, “I have to go, but thanks for the coffee” she said as she sent Joey a smile and closed the door behind her. As Andrew reached the bottom of the stairs she heard him say “who was that at this hour? And why are you smiling like an idiot? Last time I saw you, you were crying” still with a big smile on her face Camilla took a sip of her coffee before saying “well things change right?” She walked into the living room and grabbed a book from the shelf titled ‘Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy’
