He stood there after Eleanor got out of the shop, he rubbed his face "fuck what have i done.” What if he had scared her, what was she going to think now? Sweeney, who would never be afraid of anyone or anything, was afraid she was going to think the worst of him.
Eleanor had to calm her self down from what had happened and quickly ran down stairs, went straight through her shop and the parlor to her bedroom, she sat down on her bed, her heart was beating so fast it was like it was going to explode, they almost had sex, her chest was having up and down with her breathing. He had really turned her on, she almost had sex with the man she's in love with, swallowing between her heavy breaths she was thinking he'd kissed her before but this time he'd done a lot more, did he want her? Or does he just want to use her? She closed her eyes when she thought of it. He doesn't want her to come to the ball to avoid coming near judge Turpin so that meant something right? she just asked why and this is how he reacted, what was that bloody barber his answer he couldn’t give verbally but gave with his actions what was that he couldn’t deny.. what? She opened her eyes again, realizing that he would act like nothing had happened anyway.
"Mom" Toby interrupted her thoughts from behind her bedroom door. She took a deep breath and stood up and tried to compose herself. She stepped further and opened the door "yes what is it love?" she gave him a smile.
"I saw you run in and you didn't come for a while I got worried, are you okay?"
She saw his concern, "I'm perfectly fine love" she cupped his face and gave him a kiss on his head "come it's almost closing time we will clean up, sorry i left you alone" they went to the shop together
"It's no problem mom i love to work and help you you know that, doctor Lloy has left he was called for someone but he said he'll come later for your wounds.”
“Thank you for letting me know love” they went to clean the shop together.Sweeney, on the other hand, was shaving a costumor and was lost in his own toughts. He shouldn't have done that, but she kept pushing her question, how could he answer a question he had no answer to himself, he felt something but it was certainly not love he was sure of that but she attracted him so much “damn woman” he thought. He hoped he hadn't scared her, she had already been through a trauma, what would she think about him, but the way she reacted wasn’t like scared at all, it was more like.. she liked it . Eleanor certainly wouldn't have acted like that if she hadn't liked it. She said don't deny it, did she mean she felt something too?
Sweeney didn't realize he was done shaving until his costumer rubbed his face with the towel, how he had done that without cutting him he wouldn't know. The costumor thanked and paid him and then left. Sweeney went to talk to her, he wanted to tell her that he didn't want to hurt, scare or didn't want to humiliate her, he wanted to say it wasn't with bad intentions she had to know. He wasn't a pervert, that was the last thing he wanted her to think.She would have done her shift. Sweeney already went to the door to turn his "open" sing to "closed" and locked the door, then went down the inner stairs. When he was almost downstairs he saw her lying in the settee. Nellie and Toby had cleaned up and washed the dishes after closing the pie shop. Nellie sent Toby to his room to go to sleep and laid her down on the settee with her legs outstretched and a book in her hands, but actually she was deep in her thoughts thinking about the barber. She had given up he was just trying to take advantage of her it was nothing else.
But the man himself stood a few feet away from her, admiring her beautiful auburn curls, her head resting on a pillow, and the sound of the burning wood in the fireplace that was making her hair look more fiery, he could almost see her cleavage he shook his head to himself “stop Sweeney" and he turned around with the thoughts of letting her read in peace, he would speak to her tomorrow.
The next morning Nellie got up early as usual and started preparing breakfast she heard the barber pacing upstairs her cheeks turned a little shade of pink when she thought of that moment.. "good morning" Nellie was startled when she heard the deep voice of the man she was dreaming about "morning" she replied shortly she was shocked that he even spoke he barely spoke and in the morning not at all.
But Sweeney had come down early to speak to her and avoid Toby ruining the conversation. She didn't look at him as she was frying the eggs.
