strawberry shortcake

Chapter I

     In small but happy little village is where I, Isabela Rose, lived. Everyone here literally knows each other. It's a place where people moved into to get away from crowds and messy lives.

     It's so peaceful here that I enjoy getting up in the morning to take a walk through the garden and harvest what has grown from our crops and flowers. Sometimes I look at the castle miles and miles away from our little cottage and wonder what it'd be like to live in it or simply step one foot through its large gates.

     My life was happy and simple ... Until im hit with the same meteor that killed the dinosaurs...a new life.

     My apologies, let me introduce myself properly. My name is Isabela Rose. My parents are..well..I don't know them. I was taken care of by a lovely lady named Mary. She told me that I was handed over to her by a stranger when i was just an infant, and she was asked to take care of me. She, bless her heart, accepted to do such thing and I grew up in her home as the daughter she couldn't have. 18 years later Mary sadly passed away from sickness.

     Let me describe myself to you to help your imagination a little. I am 5'3 19 year old brunette with white almost pale skin and greenish grey eyes. Many people said that i look like a bunny because of my face features.

     Oh that was the bell of the bakery's front door. Did I forget to mention? The cottage has a little bakery a connected to its kitchen. "I'LL BE THERE IN A MINUTE", I said as I was putting on my white apron on top of my sage green dress and tying it around my waist. I then made my way down to the bakery where all the delicious pastries, bread, and many kinds of cookies were prepped are ready to be sold.

     "Hello sir how can I help you?", smile across my face and respect through my tone. "I sorry for coming in at an early hour...". I mean it is 7:50 in the morning and I do open up at 8 but who cares. "... but I was wondering if I could get something to eat".

     "Oh sure please choose whatever you'd like", I gestured at the racks of bread and cookies. The mad picked a loaf of toast and asked for a cup of tea with some milk and sugar.

     "If you'd like, I can make a yummy sandwich for you. Jam, peanut butter, veggies, you name it".

     "Jam sounds lovely dear, thank you". Then the man sat down and i went to the kitchen and started to make his breakfast. Once I finished, I walked back to the bakery and to the table in the corner when he sat. "Enjoy your food mr...". "Brown". "Mr. Brown", I said and walked behind the counter to write the menu on a chalkboard to hang on the wall behind me. As the clock hit 8:00 I walked to the door and flipped the sign, that said closed, to open.

*ding* ~ 8:10am

"Hello, welcome to Rose bakery how can I help you?"

WOW. I mean...WOW. By the looks of this man he's probably 6ft tall and around 20 maybe 21 years old. He has a nice figure with cheekbones that probably make every man alive jealous. He lowered his hood revealing his wavy black hair. He's definitely new as I've never seen him around.

"I'd like a plate of what you think is the best with a cup of latte please", his deep voice rang through the place. "Mmhm", I was too busy planning our wedding to speak properly. That until I was interrupted by mr. Brown asking how much he owes me for the food. "Umm, that'll be 1.25 sir". As he was reaching for his pocket, the man turned his gaze to mr. Brown saying that he's got it and received a thank you. "I'll be right there with your order sir", WHY AM I GETTING SHY???

"Call me Matthew".
