It was an early morning,she looked around for a moment before she forced herself to her feet,yawning and stretching,knowing she had work and needed to go literal shopping so she could get the stuff she needed to cook,clean and stay clean. She went to the dryer and pulled out her apron,smiling down at it and going to her bathroom and undressing,turning on the water and looking at herself in the mirror,a feeling of confidence coming back to her,and she stood a little straighter,getting in the shower and running her hand through her hair before pumping shampoo into her hand and lathering it into her hair,washing her hair before doing her body and face,brushing her teeth in the shower to make things easier on herself so she wasn't late to work,making her shower quick. After around ten minutes of showering she turned the water off,getting out and drying herself off,drying her hair before going to her room so she could choose an outfit,figuring she'd settle with light washed blue ripped skinny jeans and a white t-shirt,along with her favorite cardigan,going back to her bathroom to do her hair and makeup. I actually don't look like a disaster today. She thought to herself with a chuckle.
Eventually she made her way to the kitchen,making herself a coffee and bowl of cereal before making her way to the couch,flipping on the Telly and eating her cereal.
Half an hour later she had finished her food and coffee and was ready for work,throwing her apron over her arm and slipping on socks and sneakers,grabbing her phone and Keys before finally exiting her flat. She was suddenly met with a familiar face. "Hey Karmin! Nice to see you again,haven't seen you since you moved in." John said,smiling brightly. "Nice to see you too John! And sorry about that,been busy with work and school." She said,smiling back. "Oh? What are you studying?" John asked,looking intrigued. "I'm going to culinary school currently,plan to open a restaurant." She said,keeping her smile. "That's amazing! It's impressive someone your age knows what they want for themselves,anyways,if you'd like you can come up for dinner tonight so we can all properly get acquainted." John said,handing her his phone so she could give him her number,and she took it,entering her number and handing it back. "Alright! Sounds lovely,I'll be up around six,I'm off to work as of the moment." Karmin said,glad she didn't sound like a scared child when she spoke anymore. "Have a good day then Karmin,see you at six!" John said,going back up to his flat and waving at her. She returned the wave and walked out of the building,not taking long to end up walking into the little café she worked at with Mrs.Hudson,quickly tying her apron around her waist and walking into the kitchen,greeting Mrs Hudson warmly as she handed her an order,taking it and hanging it on the little clip before starting to make the order,once she was done she brought it up to Mrs.Hudson and run the bell,taking the next order,and repeating the task until around 5:30pm when the other cook finally showed up to take her place,and she untied her apron and made her way back to the apartment building,going to her flat first to set her stuff down before texting John. "Hey Just got home! Let me get some stuff done and I'll be up if you still want me!" She texted,her phone almost immediately vibrating with a text back. "Of course we still want you karm! Come on up when your ready. :)" The response read,she smiled and replied with a thumbs up,going to her room and changing her shirt,pulling on a crew neck with her culinary institute on it,before throwing her apron in the wash and grabbing her keys and phone back before sliding on her sneakers and leaving her flat,making her way upstairs to John and sherlocks flat,knocking on the door before being met with a friendly smile. "Hey Karmin!" John said,stepping out of the way so you could enter. She noticed Sherlock staring at her but she knew he was deducing her,flashing him a 'say it to me only' look so he didn't ramble to John about her wrists or shitty past,looking around the flat. It wasn't exactly neat but she assumed it was mostly from sherlocks cases,the apartment letting of a homey cozy feeling. "I can help with dinner if you'd like John,honestly I'd love to." She said,turning to face the shorter thin man. "If you insist,Mrs.culinary genius." He joked,making her chuckle,following him into the kitchen to start dinner. "So what are we making?" She asked,looking at him. "I was thinking something simple,maybe some burgers or something,figured you'd most enjoy that being from America." He said,a joking tone in his voice. She smiled and nodded,laughing softly and getting to work,seasoning the meat and and mixing it together,making patties and making a little divot so they didn't puff up to much before oiling up the pan and dropping one in,cooking them nicely,before toasting the buns in the pan before putting them on plates,adding browned onions onto the top of them with lettuce and tomato before carrying them back to the living-room,handing Sherlock his own plate which he took and just held for a moment,eating slowly as she and John sat down and dug in,impressed with themselves about how good they tasted. "It's nice to finally meet you sherlock." Karmin said with a warm smile as she looked at the tall nicely dressed man,his curls bouncy and tucked behind his ear as he ate. "You as well." He said,trying to be as nice as possible. "So you plan to open a restaurant?" Sherlock asked,looking at Karmin. "I do,actually." She said,earning a nod from Sherlock. "So what made you come all the way here?" John asked. She took a deep breath and left the part about her mother out. "Well,my dream culinary school was up here,so when I got accepted I was on the first plane over." She said,smiling again before taking another bite of her burger.After hours of chatting and getting to know each-other Sherlock walked her to the door,a sad look in his eyes. "I'm sorry about your mother,I won't say anything to John,but please keep these clean,he is a doctor if you ever need one." Sherlock said,taking her wrist,which scared her,but she knew she had mostly healed,smiling and nodding. "I never expected you to be nice to me." She said,surprised and honored. "Well,you don't seem like you'll give me any reason not to,plus John seems to like you a lot and his friends are mine." He said,smirking. "I knew it! You guys are a lovely couple." She said,grinning like an idiot at the newly learned news. "Well get to your flat and get some rest,if you need us we're always up here." Sherlock said,waiting for her to walk away before closing the door and sitting on the couch. She made her way back to her apartment happily,putting on pajama shorts and a t-shirt before plugging in her phone and flopping into bed,not taking long to drift off to sleep.
