The German Girl

~05

The woman I was living with was called Anna. She was 26 and from Germany, aswell. But she moved here when she was 8. 

The first time we met was strange. Her fiancé Joe was from Ireland. They were really cute together. But I felt so strange in their family.

Luckily Lotta knew them, so she felt really comforted there.

After the others had left, I did the dishes, where Anna joined me.

"Are you always so quite?", she asked.

"Actually not. But currently a lot of things have happened."

"I understand that. But I think we'll be good friends."

"I think so, too."

"So, how was your time here, yet?"

"It was really nice, actually."

"Have you met dome new friends?"

"I did. I have met a nice boy."

"Oh, a boy. Do you want to tell me more?"

"Maybe later."

"Alright. Did you date him already?"

"No...there was no time."

And Anna was so great. She was really funny. She was 26 and exactly as stupid as I was.

"I have a question, Lea.", she said at dinner.

"Ask me, Anna."

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Actually I have some kind of date.", I said shyly.

"With whom?", she asked excited.

"You don't know him...Why did you actually ask?"

"I wanted to look for some dresses."

"Wedding dresses?", I screamed.

"Of course.", she said laughing.

"I think I can alter the date for you."

"You don't have to!"

"It is alright. You're marrying only once, don't you?"

"Right. Then I can count on you?", she asked me.

"Of course you can. I'll be there.", I said happily.

After Dinner I went to my room. I texted Harry:

'Hey Harry! I think I have to postpone our date. 

Please don't be mad! 

How about Friday?

x x Lea'

'Hi Sweety!

I'm not mad. Actually I would've done the same.

Friday sounds great!

See you on Friday, love.

x x Harry'

It was really great that he understood me. I was so excited. Looking for dresses is exactly what I love. I am all about big princess dresses!

When I woke up, I went to Lottas bed to wake her up. 

Whilst she got ready, I made us breakfast and her lunch. Anna was downstairs kissing Joe goodbye. 

"Good morning, Lea.", Joe said waving.

"Morning.", I answered, still very tired.

"I have to leave. See you in the evening. Bye."

"Bye Joe."

Anna and me had a little talk in the kitchen making the breakfast.

"When are we leaving today?" I asked excited

"What about 10? Lotta will be in Kindergarden and we'll have enough time."

"Great. So who is joining us?"

"Joes Sister Barbra and my best friend Kim.", Anna answered.

"And Joe is working today?", I asked curiously.

"Actually not. He is looking for a nice suit.", Anna answered smiling.

"Really? With whom?"

"With his cousin and his cousin's best friend."

"Where?"

"Downtown. A few shops next to the gownshop."

We laughed.

Whilst Lotta was having breakfast, I got ready to take her to Kindergarten.

On our way, Lotta and I were talking.

"You are looking beautiful today, Lea."

"Aaww. Lotta you are very cute. You look beautiful, too, little Princess."

She giggled. She loves being called like that.

She is so sweet, I never would let anybody hurt her.

When Anna and I arrived in the dressshop, we waited for Barbra and Kim. 

Both were very cute and I liked them immediately.

We had a lot of fun, drinking champaigne and eating cake.

Anna came out with the first dress, we chose for her.

It was very beautiful. It was a straight dress, without any big decorations, but a few laces on the top of it. It hadn't had sleeves.

"Oh my god, Anna, you look awesome.", I said.

"You really think so?", she asked.

"No, we are just kidding. It looks horrible. You shouldn't wear white.", Kim said joking.

We all were laughing.

When Anna chose to try another dress, I checked my phone.

'Hey sweetheart, 

what are you doing today?

Miss you, love!

x x Harry'

I missed him, too.

But I would see him sooner than I thought.

I just didn't know what was coming that day.
