Chapter 2:

Selena’s POV:

“Mommy wake up!!” I heard a yelling voice from beside me. I felt a quick jump on the bed beside me, so I opened one eye peeping out seeing it was my daughter dressed in light blue washed jean pants with a pink and white flower top and her hair in a high bun.

“Mommy up! We leave for Florida today!” She said happily in a sing-song voice.

I yawned stretching out when I realized I might as well get up now, because Kaylie wouldn’t leave me alone until I did get up.

I groggily sat up rubbing my eyes turning to face my alarm clock seeing it was barely even nine am. Our plane flight didn’t leave until two this afternoon. Five hours of absolutely nothing to do.

“Mommy, are you up?” Kaylie asked looking at me.

“Yes mommy is up.” I smiled sleepily. I pulled Kaylie over to me so she was sitting on my lap. “Who got you dressed?” I asked.

“Auntie Layne. We went out and got some Ihop.” Kaylie smiled. “She told me to come wake you up to eat.”

“Okay, go tell Auntie Layne I’ll be down in a minute.” I said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

“Okay mommy.” Kaylie said getting off the bed and ran out the door down the stairs to the kitchen.

I slowly got out of bed slipping on my house shoes and pulling my robe that was on the chair next to my door, walking out my room and down the stairs to the kitchen.

I saw Layne and Kaylie already sitting at the breakfast table eating with an extra plate beside them with food—I’m guessing which is mine.

I sat down picking up my fork.

“Well good morning sleepy head.” Layne smiled.

“Morning,” I said before taking a bite from my pancakes.

“How’d you sleep?”

“I slept okay.” I said after I swallowed my mouthful of food.

“Excited to go back home today?”

“Sort of. I am gonna miss it here—you know, you and Mason and some of my friends that I’ve made through college, but then again I’m excited to go back home and be with my mom and dad and my friends since childhood.” I said.

“Did your mom get everything set up?”

“Yeah, she said my room is ready and so is Kaylie’s.” I smiled.

Kaylie and I were going to be living with my parents and Gracie for a month or two, until I get settled in and ready to move into my own space with Kaylie. My mom and dad decided to go ahead and have me send mine and Kaylie’s stuff over so I did. A week ago I sent over majority of our clothes and any other belongings so we wouldn’t have to travel with them.

Also since my parents moved into a bigger house, Kaylie and I would be getting our own rooms, and my parents decided to decorate them for me.

“I can’t wait to live with granny and papa!” Kaylie smiled.

“Well I’m glad you’re excited Kaylie!” Layne added.

I knew Layne was upset about me leaving because she has enjoyed mine and Kaylie’s company for four and a half years now. Layne was the one who helped me when I gave birth, she was the one who was always there for me after I would come home from my disappointing dates when guys left me when they found out I had a kid. Layne was always there for me.
