Brunette boy | Viscount Tewkesbury

Chapter Two

+ Bag boy +

  I bought tickets for the train to take me to London. I wasn't planning on walking all the way to London.

    My feet were staring to hurt but luckily I was already at the train station.

   The sky was gray it looked like It was going to rain a bit, the air was chilly.    

     Unfortunately I had left all my coats at home.

   I walked towards the train where a gentleman was standing holding one of the train doors open.

  I walked over to him, he was wearing a black coat and a matching hat. He was letting people into the train.

     Before I stepped into the train I gave him a small smile which I got in return.

     The train was crowded with people and the compartments were filling up rapidly.

     I searched for an empty compartment, although it seemed as though there wasn't enough.

     I spotted one. 

    I walked into the empty compartment, put the suitcase on top of the compartment shelve and pulled out a book to read.

I was confused to see that there was a bag on the other side of the compartment shelve, but there wasn't anything in here.

     I shrugged my shoulders and sat down. I opened the book.

    It was a Romance book. I love Romance books, love is so free and beautiful. Although it has a down side. Love can hurt...and that's one of my biggest fears.

     I'm afraid of falling in love. I'm scared I'll get emotionally attached to someone and then get hurt.

      I want to learn to love, but I don't want an arranged marriage. I want to fall in love myself, although it terrifies me.

   I sat down next to the window. I would always sit by the window if we traveled on the train.

    Mother would sit by the window on the other side. William and dad would sit next to us. William would always sit next to me.

    I read my book and soon after the train started to move.

'He carelessly grabbed my face making me look up at him. He held my hand. His grip was firm but gentle then moved closer. His eyes falling to my lips. He looked back at my eyes and then his...'

    "Hello may I sit here? There isn't any empty compartments?" Said a voice, making me jump.

    I looked up to see a girl wearing trousers and a jacket. Maybe she's from one of the villages here.

    "Sure" I responded, looking up at her and nodding my head. I looked out the window, it was foggy.

      I touched frigid widow while forming a heart, the warmth of my hands making the window cry.

   She walked into the compartment and took a seat next to me while taking off her jacket.

  "I'm Veronica" I introduced myself, holding out my hand for her to shake.

   She hesitated for a bit. "Pleasure" she responded "My names Enola" she said after a few moments, shaking my hand.

I smiled at her.

    Then, looked out the window to see the areas of land. It was silent but it wasn't awkward. It was a good silence.

  I continued my book.
