The Mafia Mistake

Don't look at price tags

Beth skipped towards Ash receiving a well wanted hug. Ash pulled the loose strands out of Beth's face and smiled. "Nice PJ's snowflake" he giggled. Beth rolled her eyes.

"nice arm hammock", she replied sarcastically, "woke up in these, you have any idea who changed my clothes?"

"Maria most probably, don't worry she's lovely and wouldn't do anything weird" Ash wiggled his fingers in front of Beth's face as he said this. Beth pushed his hand away and laughed.

"your arm okay? and how did things go with your dad?" she asked

Ash rolled his eyes "Dad's just annoyed I didn't tell him where I was. needed some time away from the stress of being the neglected child. And yeah, my arms been bandaged up and sprained, couple of days and I will be fine.", Ash bobbed slightly, "you need to get changed, were going shopping" He held out his good hand and took Beth to her room.

They entered the same room she woke up in. The glass of water and the note had gone, the rest of the curtains were open and the bed was made. Beth smiled at Ash as he walked to the wardrobe. "Seb likes you", he opened the wardrobe, "he went back to yours personally to get you your stuff" All Beth's belongings were packed away neatly. She ran to the wardrobe and grabbed her favourite Captain America jumper and a random t-shirt along with some jeans. Ash patted her in the shoulder and waited outside. Beth got changed and left the pyjamas a neat as possible on the bed. she grabbed the tatty converse and joined Ash. "so, where you taking me?" Ash smiled at her and grabbed her hand with his good one and guided her through the maze of corridors and people to the front door where a limo was waiting. Beth and Ash were let in by the butler that helped Beth earlier that same day. "where to master Owen?" he asked turning around in the front seat. 

"Harrods if you will" Ash replied looking straight at Beth

Beth blushed and slumped back into her seat at the limo started moving. Ash kept eye contact with Beth slumped in the chair and mimicked her, doing the same. Beth noticed what he was doing and lifted herself up to a proper posture. Ash did the same. Beth stared at ash for a while but broke eye contact as she lost the staring battle. Ash chuckled and opened a little cabinet filled with champagne. He gave a glass to Beth and filled both glasses. "to", he paused, "new friendship" he said tilting his head to one side grinning. Beth repeated it and drank the champagne like it was vodka. Ash looked puzzled and started to explain the difference however the thought "fu*k it" and did the same. 

The limo stopped at a small building and the butler got out and opened the door. "what's happening" She asked Ash.

"come on, trust me" Ash said holding out his hand again. Beth followed the two to a cottage like structure and went inside. It was dark and cold but at the back of the small building there seemed to be a lift. they all went inside and Ash pressed the button saying "Train Transport" 

"You think were ever getting into the middle of London by car?" the two doors opened and a beautiful private train stood at the end of the huge well lit room. Beth's jaw dropped, looking around the room. Ash stepped forward and held out his arm for Beth. She took it and the three went inside the train.

Inside was modern and featured small details in gold. The seats were like sofas and reclined to fit the persons needs. "you ever travelled at 220mph?" Ash asked. Beth looked at him smiling and shaking her head.

"nope", she replied. "Guessing this is your dads train then",

Ash shook his head. "He has money, but not this kind of money", he gestured the surroundings "He has friends who own this"

Beth was overwhelmed with the luxury that money can achieve. After 27 minuets and casual flirting in the train it pulled up to the platform. The surroundings looked like London underground but much, much cleaner. The only exit was a corridor leading towards a lot of noise of people talking. "come on then Snowflake" Beth followed. They both walked down the narrow corridor and joined the crowd of people. Beth held Ash's hand tight as they walked towards the stairs. At the top the light of London made Beth squint. "come" Ash pulled Beth slightly and put his arm around her as they walked towards Harrods.
