The Children Of Thornhallow

Chapter 8: Got Clothes?? [Taesen's POV]

I am awoken by the sound of my alarm clock blaring. I roll over and shut it off before picking up my phone and seeing what I had to do today. It seems as though I have three appointments later this afternoon which should give me enough time to run some last minute errands.

Although the idea of getting out of bed disgusts me, I really don't have a choice. But since my makeup bag is near my bed, it wouldn't hurt to do it from right here. Moises my pet ferret looks at me in disappointment but I just shrug it off.

Once I finished with my makeup, it was time to make the big decisions. So after some contemplation, I slip on some boyfriend jean, my favorite baggy blue sweatshirt that hangs off the shoulder a bit and accessorizing with a chunky scarf. I love being a makeup artist. I can dress for comfort. Slipping on my white converse, I put all my stuff in my bag and scoop up Moises. Placing him on my shoulder before walking out the door to my Black Honda Civic. With Broken Clocks blaring out of my speakers, I steel off into the day to get my shit done.

I think today I'll have lunch at Dreambite after running a few last minute errands which consist of picking up some new makeup wipes, food for Moises and picking up some craft supplies. Man, the thought of all this work is making me crave some curly fries.

After picking up everything I needed, along with some light splurging I head over to Dreambite to get those curly fries I've been wanting all day. Moises seemed pretty excited as well but it's only because Maia spoils him and gives him scrambled eggs.

As I walk in, the aroma of coffee hits me and it feels like I'm at home. Maia gives me a wave as she is helping another customer and I take my usual seat near the back. I place everything down and get comfortable before Maia comes over.

"Hey Sugarplum I feel like I haven't seen you in ages." She states, walking over to coo at Moises.

"I was here just the other day." I tell her as if she's losing it.

"I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to this sweet angel." She says getting ready to pick him up and coddle him like a baby.

"Wow I am so hurt, you're giving him all your love. What am I chopped liver?" I kid placing my hand over my heart pretending to be hurt.

"You know I love you, hun. I just love him more. Anyways lemme guess you had a craving for curly fries again?" She asks with a knowing look.

"Yes, you know me so well but I want extra this time round." I tell her smiling like a little kid

"You always want extra, kid." She states as she places Moises back in my care.

"You're not wrong..." I tell her as she walks away.

Suddenly I had the urge to use the restroom really bad so I placed Moises down near my bag and walked to the restroom. After doing my business and washing my hands U started heading out only to have the door slammed on me. A girl a couple inches shorter with teal hair walked in looking slightly pissed off.

As I looked down I realized that coffee had been spilled down the front of her shirt resulting in a really large stain. "Hey are you okay what happened?" I asked as I started grabbing some paper towels to soak up some of the coffee.

"These girls were chasing after their pets and one ran straight into me causing me to spill my coffee on myself." She states as she takes the paper towels dabbing at the stain.

"Oh that sucks. I just bought some clothes, I think I might have a sweatshirt that'll fit you in my car, if that's okay. Just so you don't have to sit in a wet shirt." I tell her kinda nervous because I wasn't sure if that was too straight forward.

"Really? That would be great." She says with a smile "I'm Renme Grove."

"Nice to Meet you Renme, My name is Taesen Pierce, and it's no big deal I'll go grab it now." I say as I walk towards the door to grab her that shirt.

I had quickly run out to my car grabbing a Black and white sweatshirt, I hadn't been paying much attention as I was walking back and ended up slipping on a puddle of coffee causing me to fall straight into this small girl, completely knocking her over and landing on top of her. Just as the commotion happened Renme walked out with a look of shock.

"Here you go." I say handing her the sweatshirt in an exasperated tone. She helps me up before taking the sweatshirt and saying, "Thank you so much, I'll be right back" she then disappears into the bathroom to change. I then turn to the girl on the ground and help her up.
