Chapter 2 : I'm the new owner of the boutique!
When I went down stairs The old lady was sitting down waiting patiently for me. I then realized that I didn't know a thing about this old lady. She might be a kidnapper for all I know. "Thanks miss for all that you have done for me but may I know your name?" I say in the politest tone I could muster.
"Oh forgive my manners I forgot to introduce myself to you! My name is Marie!" "As you know I work at this boutique, my husband actually owns it but I'm getting old and I can't run it myself." "That's why I put up that sign!" "You see we have no children and sadly we won't live forever, and I always longed to have a child of my own to share my techniques with." The old lady pauses for a while before continuing. "If I could find somebody I trusted enough to passover the boutique too I could finally rest in peace!" " Sorry love I was just rambling on I bet you didn't listen to a word I said."
"No I did." I said in a concerned voice. I kind of pity this old lady all she longed for is a family so they could take over there business. "Miss I think I could help you. If you teach me your ways I could take over the business!" Marie was shocked. She looked at me with question before sadness took over her. "My dear you are so kind but I'm sure with your memories gone you won't be able to help much unless you remember sowing." " You could teach me is that not what you wanted all along?" " My dear trust me I would love to teach you but are you not catching a train today?" " You know what i don't have to go I'm not sure where my mother lives in that town anyways and I'm sure if she loved me she would have come to find me."
"She would ask around if anybody saw me if she really cared. I stayed in that alley for a couple of hours but I know before I woke up I was there for days." "I think this is destiny miss."
"Oh dear I would hate to take you away from your mother. And why would she give you that ticket if she didn't love you." "Miss to be honest my mother did not give me that ticket a man did he bought some extra tickets and I asked if I could have one!"
"Oh dear are you sure? If this is for pity please don't pity me."
"It's not for pity miss I want to run this boutique it sounds fun and I would love to make clothes for a living!"
"Well if you insist I can't stop you." "This makes me very happy dear that your willing to give everything up just to work here." If you have the skills this boutique is yours!" "I will even teach you how to use the spinning wheel so you can make you own cloth." The old lady got up excitedly. All this talk is making me hungry why don't we have tea first and we can talk more about this later! I quickly nodded and we both got up and setted the table. After tea the lady went upstairs to get her tools. She came back after awhile with a look of disappointment in her eyes.
"My dear I'm sorry to say this but I have just ran out of wool and materials. My shipping order from brewster Valley was supposed to arrive yesterday! But I just received a letter earlier on stating that the shippment would be delayed because James the mail man is sick. "
" But in the letter they said that if the shipping was needed badly then I could collect it myself, but I don't have enough money to buy a ticket " " Well miss your in luck because the ticket the man gave me is for brewster Valley!"
" Oh dear but I couldn't possibly ask you to go there for me could I, after all that ticket is the only possession you have to remember your Mother" she said with a worried look. "Miss its absolutely fine while I'm there I could have a little look around for my mother or anybody who knows her!"
After a while of convincing she finally agreed, lucky the suitcase she arranged earlier was still on the table. After adding a little more food into the suitcase she gave me a letter that I should give to the mail man telling him to give the package to me. She walked me to the train station after giving me a map of brewster valley. "Well then dear here we are the train should be arriving in a little bit please be careful here is some shillings, you take this and rent out an inn for you to stay at. I have to go now I have more to do at home if any boy looks at you you just tell them to go away." I giggled and hug her and said goodbye. After she left I sat down and pondered a bit.
Hmmm, this old lady seems real sweet. If I stick by her I might just be able to live a normal life. But do I really want just any old normal life, of course not I want fame and fortune! And with my looks I might just get it. Especially if I play some tricks. At brewster Valley I should look for Troy the man mentioned in my letter. Then I should find James the mail man and stay for another day. Then explore the town! I would have to buy a return ticket as well.
Hmm I have a lot to do. But it will be fun to see what I can find and who this troy man is.
I was so deep in my thoughts that I did not see a man sit next to me. I turned my head having a feeling he was looking at me and yes I was correct he was staring right at me. This man had a very handsome face his jaw sharp and gorgeous eyes bright brown he had a little bit of a stuble, the only flaw on his face was his tiny elf like ears, It suited him in away. He had dusty short blonde hair. I gave him a little smirk and shifted away from him. He shifted closer. I turn to face the other side. That's when he called me. " Ma'am" he said. I ignored him reminding my self what the old lady said. "Ma'am" He called again except this time he tapped my shoulder. I gave me a bit of a fright so I jumped up a little. " what do you want" I said begrudgingly. "Well I just want to say you look very beautiful" I scoffed. " Listen young man I don't have anytime for your silly flirting." I said waving my finger at his face. "Ma'am let me tell you I am a man of my word, and when I say you are beautiful I mean nothing else but that" "Sir I know what your doing your trying to whoo me, and it ain't working now can't a girl sit in peace while waiting for the train or is that a crime too?!"
After I told him off he didn't say anything else. I was finally able to continue my thoughts. After a while the train finally arrived I picked up my suitcase and sat down on the train. Surprisingly it was packed and I managed to find a seat. The man ( from earlier) sat down next to me. " Hello again" he said with a huge grin on his face as if he knew very well that he was annoying me. I gave him a tired sigh and said " listen you are not to talk to me at all during this journey." " Alright miss I will try my best but I can't promise you anything"
We sit through the rest of the journey in silence. I happily go over my thoughts on what I am going to do when I arrive. First on the agenda is get the package next is to find this "troy" fella to help me.
By the time I was done with my thoughts the train arrived at Brewster valley. It was already sundown. I stepped out of the train with my belongings and began walking only to be stopped by the man earlier.
"My pretty miss before you leave may I suggest an offer" what the heck was the first thought in my mind. What is he on about. " Please get out of my way" I said with a sigh in my voice as I'm quite sick of him already. I had things to do and it was already sundown.
I try to step away from him but he blocks my step. I roll my eyes and try again but still he blocks my way. "Listen I have no time for this nonsense I am a very busy woman with a business to run." I say with a hint of arrgonce in my voice. I didn't lie after all the lady did promise to teach me to sow which obviously meant that she would hand me her business." Pfft" the man scoffs as if what I said was a joke. I give him a look and snaped at him saying " Why are you laughing you think this is a joke look if you don't get out of my way I will scream claiming that you are a prevert" "I am terribly sorry miss if I offended you, I just find that hard to believe." I scoff " and why is that" I say rolling my eyes. The fact that I'm actually listening to him says something , I say to myself. " Well miss that's because-" he steps closer to me I back away and bang against a wall that looks like it belongs to a tarven. " I know who you really are" he whispers.
I let my self get shocked for a split second but then quickly recover. I scan my surroundings and realize that people are looking at us. " Get away from me you pervert " I say as I push him away making him look suspicious. He's shocked and instantly realizes what I am trying to do.
I give him a quick smirk and continue with my play. I give him a swift slap that echos and grabs everybody's attention. Then I clutch my chest as if I have been harmed .
The man grabs my arm and tries to pull me away, but a big tough and sturdy man blocks him from moving and says. " Hey stay away from her man!" "N-no wait You don't understand she's my sister and she's not mentally correct." He tries to explain but you can see on his face that he's making this up. " I'm not your sister" I say trying to pull away from him. He shoots me a look that says shut up! But I ignore it and continue "let go of me right now!" The tough man interferes again and grabs the man by the arm and pulls me free. " Thanks" I say to the tough looking man and swiftly run away.
I glance back to see the man trying to follow me but the sturdy man blocks him and seems to be saying something that I can't catch because I'm far away.
Heh. I think to my self, that outta teach him. Next time he won't be so bold. I stop running and find my self in a different part of town. I glance around and just my luck I find a inn near by. It has the open logo on the door. I push open the door only to find a cool dark counter. Behind the counter is an old lady. She has a sturdy looking face that shows that she means business.
I approach the desk with an elegant manner and speak to the old lady in a sturdy voice (so she knows I mean business too).
"Excuse me but may I rent out a room please?" "Yes but that's only if you can afford it." The lady says as she eyes me up and down. I could tell that this lady was judging me. I looked down on my self to see that I looked decent, I didn't understand why the lady looked so disgusted by me. I sigh to myself whatever now's not the time to care about first impressions. " I'm sure I can how much is it?"
The lady scoffs " you don't even know how much it is yet your sure you can afford it." I roll my eyes. " How much please. " I say abruptly. I could care less about impressions now and even if I did try to be nice this lady would clearly not appreciate it. I was tired anyways and I just wanted a bed to sleep on so I could get to business." Rude." She said. "20 shillings it is then." I looked up at the sign above. It says 10 shillings per night.
I sighed and gave the old bag her money. I made sure to give her a dirty look just before I reached out behind her and took a key. On the way upstairs I glanced behind me and saw her still glaring at me with a shocked look. I smirked at her and saluted. "Cheerio madam and have a jolly nice day!" And with that I stompted upstairs.
