Mysterious Maid

Sabrina

The teenager was on her way home from a friend's as suddenly Tuomas stood in front of her. In the dark,she first did not recognize him and stared at him in shock.
"Sabrina,it's only me,Tuomas." he said and laid a hand on the girl's shoulder.

Her long red hair was blown across her face and she immediately regretted wearing it open.
"Hi Tuomas, what's up?" she smiled.

"I need your help. Do you know something about the mysterious maid?" he asked and walked on together with the girl.

"Yeah,well. I will meet her again on the next market which is tomorrow. If you want to,you can come along with Irja and me." the ginger offered.

"Sure...but I cannot go there like this..." Tuomas said and nervously played with his hair.

"Of course you can. Just wear a shirt and jeans. No one will notice in Savonlinna because almost every guy does." Sabrina said and linked her arm with his which looked a little funny since she is alot smaller than him but it was dark and they were alone anyway.

"

If you want to,I will introduce you to her. Tarja will be quite pleased to meet you,I guess." Sabrina explained and smiled at him in the dark.

Tarja. What a wonderful name. Tuomas was already amazed by the name and the woman whose name it was. If he will someday have a daughter,he would call her Tarja...if it won't be his wife's name.

"Tuo? Please don't call her Tarja because actually,I may not tell visitors of the market her first name." Sabrina begged him as they stood in front of the house where Irja and Sabrina lived. Their parents died as Sabrina was just one year old and then Irja and her lived with their aunt Lumi who died 6 years ago. Irja basically raised her younger sister and they seem to share a special bond which fascinated Tuomas a little. He always argued with his siblings but they never did.

"I won't,I promise. Maybe I can play the harpsichord then so you can sing together?" he offered kindly.

Sabrina fiddled her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door.
"If she lets me sing with her... She once asked me to but I cannot play and sing at the same time." she said and made a gesture for him to come in.

"Then I can play for you so everyone is happy." Tuomas said and smiled. He watched Sabrina put her shoes and jacket off and followed her into the living room where Irja sat in her pajamas.

"That would be great." Sabrina said and sat down next to her sister who smiled and hugged her.

"Hey sweetie. Hey Tuo" Irja said and smiled at her sister who leaned against her.

"May I come to the medieval market with you tomorrow?" he asked and sat down on the armchair. The house deffintely looked bigger than it was and the living room was a nice,small room.

"Sure,is it because of the mysterious maid?" Irja chuckled and played with her sister's very long hair.

"Yeah. I really want to meet Tarja." he said and caused Irja to laugh.

"You're in love with her? By the way,you better don't call her with her first name if she does not tell you to...like she did with Sabrina." Irja said and felt that her sister got up and went to her room and changed her clothes.

Tuomas made an affirmation sound and smiled at Irja.

"If you want to,you can stay here this night. We might even have some old festival clothes from our father which you could wear then." Irja offered with a smile.

"Okay,thank you." Tuomas said and smiled. Sometimes he feels like Irja and Sabrina would be his second family.

Sabrina came downstairs in a loose top and white pajama pants and her hair in a braid. She walked up to Tuomas and hugged him and he hugged back not knowing what the hug was for but he knew he was basically the only man that belonged to her family.

"I think we should go to bed,Saby. We have to be there at 12 o'clock and you know how long we need in the morning...means getting up at 8am." Irja said and poked her sister after she got up.

"Yeah. Good night,Tuo. Love ya." Sabrina said and smiled at him.
"Good night,both of you. Love ya too,Saby." he smiled. Sabrina could sometimes be really cute.

"Good night,Tuo." Irja said and walked upstairs followed by Sabrina who grabbed a pillow and brought it downstairs to Tuomas who had just put his shoes off.

"Thank you,Saby." He said and smiled at the girl who laid the pillow and blanket down and then smiled at the man.

"You're welcome. Good night." she said and walked upstairs.

Tuomas laid down on the sofa and tried to sleep but there was no way for him to stop thinking about tomorrow. He would meet the mysterious maid,Tarja. Her black hair was so beautiful and he could not help but continue thinking of her.

What color do her eyes have? Blue? Green? Brown? He wondered and it felt like he'd remember something but he was not sure if her eyes were green or brown because of the distance that were between them.

Is she just as nice as Sabrina said or is she just nice to her because she plays the harpsichord for her? Will she be angry that she brought me along? Will she let me play the harpsichord so they could do a duet?
