Sade's Return

XV

    As I am laughing and opening the door I am hit with the smell of incense. It's very strong that I frown and I can't even tell what type it is. The lady behind the counter is medium height with brown unkempt hair and big glasses. I must be looking at her for too long because she frowns. Whoa all this frowning is going to trigger my anxiety and that's already off the charts at the moment. I am only here because Jack suggested it and I was curious .

I smile and turn my head away from her. I look all around and her shop is beautiful. It's very whimsical with fairy dolls hanging from the ceiling, beautifully done dream catchers placed around the room. A bird bath with running water touched up with the statue of a woman wearing a dress, her feet touching the water and holding....just then I hear a light cough. "Sade?" Jack says in a whisper. Oh damn again I forget my surroundings. "Oh this place is beautiful, Jack". I say in small excitement. "It is I thought you would like it." Jack points to the clothes.

The clothes are my vibe. From punk shorts to a rack of just Lolita dresses. "Hey, this looks all hand made." Saying as a I rustling through the rack of punk shorts. " Ooo Plaid I like" I hold it up to the light to take a better look. Jack is beside me nodding his head. " Her mother makes these clothes. They actually have trunk shows once a month at the Outsider's Club market."

Oh the OCM I love it. All kinds of interesting people gather to show and sell their crafts. That's not all, the crafts are usually of a different sorts. Such as I bought a throw handmade with the pattern of pill bottles. Very cool. I just had to. I was just out of the hospital and I was missing it already. Oddly it did work. "Jack, we really should go sometime. I think it would be really fun".I walk towards a shelf with tiny dolls made of wood and yarn.

Jack and I spend some time looking at them when the lady comes up to us and says " They're dream dolls. You put it under your pillow and it keeps you from having nightmares". She didn't startle me which was a surprise because she seem the type to startle people. " They are interesting" I tell her "I would like 3. They're so tiny I think one seems lonely." She looked at me sympathetically and put 3 in a little bag. Jack is next to me and I look at him questionably. He puts his hand on my shoulder. and shakes his head. He mouths " she's an ass." That makes me laugh as she goes on to take the little bag to the register. I follow her and I put the rest of the items on the counter. A pair of plaid shorts, Sid Vicious shirt with arms cut off giving it an almost basketball Jersey look, socks, handmade soap that smells like bubble gum and a pair of earrings on sale for a 1$ .

My cellphone vibes and its Bethany texting

Bethany:Ha you're hilarious. Do you mind picking up takeout that I ordered from Le Phil

I pay the total amount that my stuff cost and we hop in the car. Food and sleep is on my mind.
