He is planning on sending some of the employees from the company that works there to pick us up from the airport so that we wouldn't miss any meetings. Then he wants us to meet up with him tomorrow morning." She explained, causing me to let out a disappointed sigh.

"Is that okay?" I asked sadly, putting on my best puppy dog eyes. She let out another chuckle before nodding in response. "It'll be fine, I'm sure he has nothing against it." I continued to frown, not completely happy with the outcome but not wanting to argue with her either. "Okay… Can we watch a movie tonight? Or we could go to my house for a couple hours?" I asked quietly. I had been looking forward to spending time with my friends again.

"Well I need to check something first but I think we can do that sometime this week or next week. How does that sound?" she asked me.

"Sounds great!" I replied happily, throwing myself in her arms and hugging her tightly. "I love you, sis. I always will." I added, hoping that my words would comfort her as well.

She smiled and squeezed me tighter before saying, "I love you too, kiddo. Now hurry up and finish eating, I'm sure you want to get home faster." She said teasingly causing me to pout playfully as I leaned back to look at her.

"Okay okay!" I laughed before getting up to dig into my ice cream again, leaving the two cups that I'd left here to cool off for the moment. As I ate my ice cream, I continued to listen to my mom and dad talk between themselves and watched as they interacted with each other. They seemed like really close friends.

When I was done eating my ice cream, I placed both of our cups in the sink before heading upstairs to shower. While my hair was still wet when I stepped out of the bathroom after drying my hair I realised that the water was cold now, meaning that I had to dry quickly. 'Maybe I should put on some shorts… or I could use my towel to dry my feet…' I thought to myself as I made my way over to my closet. "KIDDIE!" I heard a voice shout from downstairs.

"Uh oh…" I muttered to myself, quickly running back downstairs to grab a towel before heading to my room to try and make it to my bed before my mother caught me again.
