Charlotte's POV.
"Add two tablespoons of water." I smiled. "One.." I counted as Milo put in one tablespoon. "Two!" I cheered stirring the cake mixture.
Milo is a very clever little boy. At nearly 2 years old, he can say so many words. Since i decided to never see or speak with Harry ever again, i moved straight to New York with Vogue. I bought a flat, or 'apartment' as they call it, and settled right in. Vogue were so hospitable when it came to me having Milo. My boss even came to visit me when i first had him.
Since starting a new life, i've had 2 promotions in Vogue making me a leader in editorials. I now have a car, and i also have a new boyfriend, called Luke. He's in business with Vogue, and came to a meeting one day. He caught my eye, and i guess i caught his. Milo calls him daddy, and it does melt my heart, but i do feel guilty somehow; i wish Harry could be the one he could call daddy, see his first steps,first words.
But he hurt me, badly.
I shake my head and turn back to Milo. "We now need 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder!"
We've been making this cake far too long. It's actually for Milo's birthday. It's in 2 days, myself,Luke and some of Milo's friends from nursery are coming over for some party games. I've made friends with people at Vogue, my particularly good friend Emelia is coming.
When i moved to New York not only did i not have any family, but i also didn't know anyone. Enter Emelia: She introduced herself as my personal assistant, i found it strange how i now have the authority to tell someone what to do. But Emelia is not just a personal assistant to me, she's a best friend,sister and mum wrapped into one. Even though she's younger than me, she always knows what's best.
My phone began to rang as Milo stirred the cake mixture.
"Hello?" I answered holding my phone between my cheek and shoulder.
"Hey babe it's me."
I smiled at Luke's voice. "Hey, how are you?"
"I'm great. I'm grabbing chinese food, fancy some?"
"Sure, i'll unlock the door, my hands are covered in cake mixture."
I heard him chuckle. "See you in 10, love you."
"Love you too."
"Love you too!" Milo mocked.
"Hey, you!" I laughed tickling him.
"So how was your day?" Luke asked as all 3 of us ate our chinese, Luke ate his expertly with chopsticks whilst i used a knife and fork and Milo had a spoon and fork.
"Great. Nice day off. I wanted to get work done but, Milo decided otherwise."
Milo and Luke smiled.
"Your day?"
Luke shrugged. "Another day at the office i guess."
I swallowed. "I know you love your job." I teased.
He laughed. "I do. I love coming home to you more."
My heart warmed at how he said 'home'. I felt at home with Luke. I was definitely in love with him. He was just perfect for me, and vice versa.
"Another drink?" He asked nodding towards my almost empty glass.
"Please." I smiled.
"More!" Milo exclaimed.
"Milo!" I frowned.
"Pease." He grinned.
Luke laughed taking his beaker off of him.
"Mummy,dat?" Milo asked pointing to his plate.
"Mushroom." I smiled.
"Me no dat."
"You don't like it?" I asked.
He shook his head.
Getting Milo to sleep was always a challenge, he always wanted me to sing to him,then read,then sing again. I'd have to wait until he was fast asleep until i could leave, he was always scared of me leaving.
"Finally asleep?" Luke smiled changing the channels on the tv.
I nodded tying my hair up. "Finally."
I lay against his chest as we watched some police chase programme.
"I heard the girls in Vogue are all excited."
I frowned. "Excited?"
Luke nodded. "Yeah, about One Direction doing the special edition for this month."
I sat up. "What?"
"One Direction, the British boyband.."
"I know who they are..Why haven't i been told?"
Luke shrugged. "Don't know babe." He kissed my temple.
I grabbed my phone making a quick call to Emelia.
