Don't get hot and flustered

Part 1

It was cold in Denton. Usually the winters weren't too bad and completely bearable with the assistance of a warm jacket and some gloves. As the radio had just stated, there was a god awful storm surrounding the Denton area. It was so bad that some people had advised to stay inside.

I was just making my way back from Ralph and Betty's wedding. A lot of people from Dr Everett Scott's science class went to the wedding including myself. I had seen my long time friend Janet Weiss at the wedding. I walked over to her and pulled her into an embrace kissing her cheek as she kissed mine. We gossiped about the wedding and how beautiful Betty looked. I sat next to her and Brad through the ceremony. After the sickly words "you may kiss the bride" where spoken everyone spilled out the church doors. Janet grabbed my arm and rushed me over to the huddle of women readying themselves to catch the Bouquet of roses Betty was preparing to throw. Like lions fighting one another for food Janet out of all people caught the flowers and excited jumped up and down. I smiled and hugged the side of her arm truly happy for her. She turned to me and handed me a singular flowers and whispered "this is for you y/n, who knows what mystery man will reveal himself to you in the future" we both giggled and walked to Brad. I walked over to my car and put the keys into ignition turning on the radio hearing more about the storm. I yawned and checked the time. I looked back to Brad and Janet and saw Brad down on one knee smiling at Janet. She was squealing and nodding her head gawking at the ring that Brad held in his trembling hands. When they came back to the car they invited me to go and deliver the good news to Dr Scott. I agreed and we had decided that I would follow in my car behind them.

As we were all driving down a small country lane with the rain hammering down on the car Brad and Janet's car came to an abrupt stop. I slammed my breaks on and took in a deep breath. I looked around my car and the only thing I could use to protect my hair from getting completely drenched was my bag. I stumbled out of the car slamming the door behind me and ran to there's jumping in the back seat. I sat my bag down and said "holy shit, what happened" Brad slammed his hand on the wheel of the car making me jump and said "the tire has a flat, I knew I should have gotten it fixed" I frowned and remember the breathtaking castle I had briefly seen through some bushes. I bit my lip at the knowledge and looked at Brad and Janet and said "you know, I think I saw a large house a few roads back, I can take my car and see if they have a phone" Brad waved his hand "if you give me the whereabouts I can walk" I smiled at his gentlemanliness and giggled "no it's fine, it saves you both getting wet". They both came to the agreement that I would go to the castle and ask for a phone and if I wasn't back in a few hours they should come looking for me. I ran back to my car with my purse over my head and dived for the front seat. I turned around and began my short journey back to the castle.

I got there sooner than expected and just parked my car next to some motorbikes. If Janet was here with me she would have scoffed and joked about the people who rid them. I locked my car and with my bag on my head and the other hand shielding my eyes from the sharp gusts of wind tried to spot the front door. It was dark, cold and I was alone but I had to man up and knock the door. I waited awhile until a young sparky women with bright pink hair opened the door looking surprised "hello, are you okay hun" she said in a high pitch voice I swallowed the nerves and smiled "yes! I'm ever so sorry to intrude on your evening but you see my friends car has a flat tire and I was wondering if I could make a phone call". She smiled at me and looked behind her shoulder and opened the door more so I could walk in "come on in, I'll see that you get to a phone" she laughed. I was shocked at how the decor was put out. A brilliant chandelier hung miserably from the ceiling but art work was strung so pleasingly it was the same satisfaction as fresh honey tasted. She walked in front of me and flapped her hand behind her shoulder signalling for me to trail behind her. The young women was very peculiar, she wore a sequin suit with a gold tophat on and a face full of dramatic makeup. She took me to a room with a strip of red carpet and a thrown sat proudly atop of the room. She gestured me to walk in and not just stand flabbergasted at the door way "well I'll just go and grab the master for ya but whats you're name the master likes to be....... Prepared" I smiled at her and nodded "yes of course my name is y/f/n" she stepped over and dramatically stuck her hand out for me to shake "I'm Colombia, anyway I'll be off just stay here and wait for frank".

I nodded and watched her waltz out of the room and scurry down the hall. I had realised that holding my bag over my head had worked brilliantly for my hair but not so much my clothes. They were drenched! I rolled my eyes and huffed. It's okay, I'll just make a quick call and then I'll be back following Brad and Janet right?

Anyway that is chapter one! I hope you enjoyed and continue to read this story ❤️❤️❤️
