Emily's Pov.

"Get up girl!" I heard a familiar voice shouted and at the same time, felt a soft object colliding with my head.

I immediately snapped my eyes open and saw Abby about to hit me with a pillow in my head so I quickly shield myself using my hands.

"What do you want?!" I whined at her annoyed. I hate when people wake me up from my sleep.

"We're going dress shopping, remember?" She said while dropping the pillow and sitting beside me.

"Leave me alone" I mumbled and pulled the duvet over my head. I closed my eyes to fall back asleep but quickly snapped them open again when the duvet was pulled off of me.

"Oh come on! It's almost eleven and we need to get going before the---"

"Eleven?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes, it's eleven. Now get up!" Abby said and I quickly jumped out of bed.

How can I sleep this late?

"Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" I asked as I began to make the bed up.

"Because your 'husband' said for me to leave you alone. He didn't want me to wake you up" she responds to my question and I sigh before heading to the bathroom.

"I'll be done in a few minutes," I said and locked the bathroom door. I did my morning routine and then slipped on some jeans and a crop top, since it was hot, and walked downstairs with Abby.

"Aunty!!" A voice that belongs to Caleb yelled and I felt someone grabbing ahold of my leg.

Looking down, I was met with a cute Caleb. He was still in his pajamas and had his toy car in his hands. "Hey, little fella," I said and took him in my hands.

"Let's play hide and seek!" He exclaimed and I chuckle at him.

"I'm sorry but right now Aunty has to go out. How about we play when I'm back?" I suggest and he nodded sadly.

"Good. I'll bring you back chocolate" I said to him and his face quickly light up into a lovely smile.

"Yes! Did you hear that mom? She's gonna get me chocolate!! I'm gonna tell Uncle!" He yelled happily and run off into the living room. I chuckled at him and turned to Abby who was glaring at me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You and my brother are the same" she mumbled and we both walked into the living room.

As we entered the living room, we could hear Caleb ranting about me getting him chocolates and Xavier carefully listening to him. Joshua was sitting next to them and was scrolling through his phone.

Xavier looked up to me spoke. "Don't tell me you're going shopping wearing---"

"We're going out now. See you guys later" Abby said cutting Xavier off pulling me through to the door.

"Bye mom and Aunty Emily, don't forget to buy my chocolate!" He said to me.

"I won't!" I yelled as I exit the house.

...

"Want something to eat?" Abby asked.

We were on the road for half an hour and I was very hungry. I haven't eaten dinner last night nor breakfast.

"Sure," I replied and we stopped at a drive-through.

"What ya' want?"

"A cheeseburger and a drink" I replied and she ordered lunch. The worker gives us the food we ordered a few minutes later and we thank her before driving off while eating.
