Disastrous Fate-Sweenett.

Chapter 6

" What? I mean, why do you say that? " she said when she shook her head and blinked a few times. " Mrs. Lovett, mind if I ask you something? " Sweeney said.

" Yes, of course, love. " Nellie said as she leaned closer to hear him clearly. " What is love? " Sweeney said in a serious tone. Sweeney Todd never felt love before. Well, only when he was Benjamin Barker and that was a long time ago.

" Well, " Nellie began when she nervously wrapped her fingers. She wasn't sure to answer a strange question from his mouth.

" Love.. is.. something.. you.. feel.. for someone. " Nellie nodded her head in relief that she got the correct words from her head.

" And what do you feel for someone you.. love? " Sweeney furrowed his brows that he wasn't sure what feelings you have when your in love.

Sure, he felt it once but that was still Benjamin. Nellie blinked a few times that she wasn't sure what to say.

Of course, she is in love, with the man in front of her but she still wasn't sure to explain how she feels from the barber.

" Your heart would start to beat faster when you're with that special someone. " Nellie said.

" I, myself, am in love too. " she said and Sweeney turned his gaze to her when she said that.

" And does he love you? " Sweeney asked dropping his eyes again. He didn't know who she loved.

" No. " she said when she shook her head. " I'm sorry. " he said, still not looking at her. Nellie looked at the clock and noticed it was almost 9pm.

" It's getting late. I should go to sleep now. " she said and stood up from her seat and kissed Sweeney on the cheek. " Night, love. " she said and headed to her bedroom.

He stood up and went to his barbershop to get some rest.

...

Days went by and Sweeney was still visiting her in her shop but this time, seldom. He spent most of his time pacing upstairs and thinking about Nellie.

Most of the time, he was supposed to have thoughts of Lucy and now it was Eleanor.

Are these feelings starting to grow inside him?

He started to have twists in his stomach that he didn't understand. He wanted to get away from her so he used control.

But he had a thought in his mind that he wanted to do. He wanted to ask her something that he think she'd agree. So, these feelings that confuse him won't bother him anymore. He thought maybe if he was really close to Lovett, so close that these feelings would disappear then he should do what he must. 

...

It was a long day for both. So, they decided to close their shops and get some rest but Sweeney didn't want to rest. He wanted to see her now. He went down to her shop and saw her cleaning her counter with a feather duster.

She heard the door open and saw a dark figure standing on the doorstep. It was Sweeney. " You're free to come in if you like. " she said and continued her work. Sweeney entered and sat on one of the chairs.

" So, what's your purpose here, love? " she said when she dropped her feather duster and replaced it with a rug and started to wipe tables. She started with the table to where Sweeney sat.

" To see you. " Sweeney's eyes were fixed on her when he said this. Nellie stopped her wiping and looked into his dark empty eyes.

They both stared at each other for what seemed like a century! Nellie looked away and went to the sink to wash some dishes. " I'm glad you've had a lot of costumers these past few days because of course we all know, every body you kill is six or seven at the most of my pies. We're getting popular around town. " she giggled but was cut when Sweeney interrupted.

" Marry me. "
