"So, do you like it?" the owner of the building asked me, I smiled at him and said "Yes, it's perfect" he pull out the contract pointing at the bottom of it " just sign her and we'll be done" he said smiling, I signed it and shake his hand "okay Miss Stark here's the key don't lose it!

"Please, I need the job!" I said to the lady, apparently I have found a job at a fabric store, they need an accountant and I'm really good with mathematics but she doesn't want me to work because of my eyes she said and I quote "Oh god!, your eyes looks ugly and gross, I don't need someone to scare the customers away!", so here I'm begging her to not judge me by my eyes colors, "No means fucking NO!, you look creepy, go!" She shouted and pushed me out of the store, this the third time today, I'm losing hope!.
I turned around and found this place called 'The Garrison Pub' offer a job, maybe this will work, I hope I mean I used to serve drinks to my father and Mr.Kimber when they talk business, so I know the basics, okay let's give it a shot, I thought while walking to the pub.
When I opened the door I saw a man cleaning the floor, I cleared my throat and he looked up at me, " we're not open yet" he said with a smile "I'm here about the job as barmaid" I said hoping he'll say okay, he looked me up and down "I'm sorry, You are not qualified and yo-" I cut him off " please, If it because of my eyes please don't reject me because of it, I used to serves my father and his friend drinks, I know how to serve it and I know all the kind, so please just try me for a day and if I cause any trouble I'll leave immediately" I begged him
he sighs "it's not your eyes, it's just your too nice and pretty, trust me I'm doing you a favor" he said grabbing the broom and continue cleaning "I'm not asking for favors, I'm asking for employment" I said putting my hat on the table, He looked at me and sighs " where are you from?, obviously you are not form hear" he said "London, I'm moving hear today" I said smiling, he takes a breath.
He studies me then looks around at his battered pub "fine, tomorrow you start 8 o'clock, don't be late" I smiled " thank you, thank you so much sir, you will not regret it I promise you" I said shaking his hand " just call me Harry" he said smiling "Oh god where is my manners, I'm Isabella but you can call me Bella" I said taking my hat "see you tomorrow, Bella" he said waving "see you tomorrow, Harry" I said walking out of the pub, okay now that I have found a job and an apartment maybe I can explore the city.

"Come back again" the old lady said smiling "I will, thank you" I walking out of the book shop, I opened the book and start reading while I'm heading to my apartment.
"FINN!, bring me back my purse!" I heard a girl yelling, I looked up and saw a little boy around ten years old running and laughing at a woman around my age and another one in her late 40s, the boy bump into me and before he falls I catch him "I got you little one" I said smiling "I'm sorry Miss" he said looking down "Finn! What did I told! Give Ada her purse" the woman said taking the purse from the boy and giving it to the girl, she turned around and looked at me "I never saw you here before, are you new?" She asked " Yes, I am, I just arrived and I wanted to explore the city" I said looking up at her and smiling "oh my god, your eyes.."
"Oh, I'm sorry my eyes.., I know they're-" she cupped my cheek "are so beautiful!" Beautiful? No one ever told me my eyes are beautiful, all I hear are ugly or creepy, witch and monster sometimes but never 'beautiful'
"Let me see aunt Poll!" the girl spoke "wow, it really is beautiful"
"Thank you" I whispered, blushing and looking down
"I'm Ada by the way" she said smiling "and this is aunt Poll, and this brat is Finn" she said messing with his hair
"Oi, I'm not a brat!" he said pushing her hand away "you surly act like one!" I chuckled, their relationship is so cute
"I'm Isabella Hilton" I said smiling
"Where are you from, Isabella?" Poll asked
"I'm originally Arabic but I used to live in London with my father and step mother"
"Arabic? You don't look like one"
"I have my mother looks"
"Then she surly is gorgeous" she said smiling
I smiled "I wish I know, excuse me I must go I have work to do tomorrow morning, good night" I said collecting my things and start walking heading to my apartment
