When she finished I knew it was my turn to fill my desperate mother in.
“He just wears it, nothing’s wrong with his face and why would I being trying to keep him to me?”
Now it was my mother’s turn to make her looks, she raised a perfect black eyebrow and shot me a I-ask-you-all-that-and-you-give-me-such-a-short-answer!.
Without answering another one of her question, I took my toast and ate it whilst walking upstairs, I finished it pretty quickly, but even though eating little today, I still felt normal, without feeling hungry and on the urge of trying to find food to eat. Again there was a envelope on the window sill, how do they get there?
Thank god there was no wind, or it would have blown away. It said:
Tess,
Before you think anything I’m sure your mother told you what happened when I brought you home. I know you would have wanted me to let you down to walk home, but you were sleeping so peacefully, so I didn’t want to wake you. I was wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow, maybe I could bring you somewhere, my special place. Meet me at 8:00. Let me know your answer by writing a letter/note and placing it on the windowsill. I will get it somehow don’t worry.
Your mystery Guy…
Thomas
Right get writing:
Thomas,
Yes my mother did tell me what happened and I am very much grateful to you. Just remind me not to sleep when you carry me, well make sure I don’t fall asleep on you. Sure I would love to see your special place. Tomorrow, wait outside by the swing.
Blindfolded girl,
Tess
As like I did with his first note, I tied the envelope with a black ribbon and put it with the first one in my red box on the top of my bookshelf. I slept peacefully without any distractions. I had a very good dream it was of us, Thomas and I we were walking down a path through the trees that had no leaves but looked like it was sprinkled with white icing sugar. And the path was scattered with it too. We had one long blue scarf round both our necks and we were holding hands and laughing. However the dream was quickly put to an end. My alarm clock had started screaming. 7:15. Knackered(by the way it means tired out), I dragged my ragged body out from under my covers and let the cold water hit me full on. This was relaxing, too relaxing, it wouldn’t last. I had to meet Thomas at eight, why eight? I checked at the window if the letter was still there, but to my surprise it wasn’t there he did have a way to get the letter. Chapter Seven:Special Place and Shopping Spree

Chapter 7: Special place and shopping spree
Quickly I pulled on some black skinnies and white t-shirt with my red chequered shirt elbow length and my blue thick cardigan, with wool inside on. I picked up my usual black shoulder bag with my notebook, water and pen in it now, and went down the stairs. By the time I got to the day, I thought I would make it out without my mother asking me a load of question, like a prisoner in a cell, being questioned. But guess what she come out the kitchen with a cup of warm water in hand “where are you going so early in the morning?” she said leaning onto the panel of the kitchen wall.
“I could ask you the same thing why are you up so early?”
“I was awakened up by an early bird.”
“ I’m going out to town, I haven’t been into town since coming here and going to school.” I said closing the door, cutting then cold airs way of visiting the inside of my house.
“So early in the morning no shops will be open right know. Also why are you going through the back way?”
“Does it matter? I’ll be back by 3:00.” I said
“okay and be careful, wrap up warm it’s the middle of December already.” She walked over and kissed me on the forehead.
“okay bye me, get some more sleep.” I said as I walked out the condensation back glass door.
As I walked out all I could hear was her saying good bye. I walked towards the swing feeling warm and fuzzy inside, although the air around me was cold making the air I breathed out white and puffy like a cloud. He was there swinging gently on the swing.
“Hey where are we going today?”
“you’ll see, we are going into town today.”
“okay, I have never been into town before since coming here.”
“Well there will be a lot of new things to you.” silently we caught the bus into town. He didn’t wear his mask today, but he wore a neck-warmer and he wore a blue scarf round his neck, it must be long, because it wrapped round his neck loosely 3 times.
“follow me” he said.
He walked through ally-ways and shortcuts, finally stopping outside a small coffee shop. It was empty except for a young woman with brown hair sitting at the front of the counter. When we walked in warm are hit us first then the sweet smell of fresh blue mountain coffee beans. Thomas chose a seat at the window with two large armchairs. We sunk into one each, I looked outside the window. It was quiet and it wasn’t a bad silence. The air was sweet and warm, and we was waiting for the waitress, that came to my mind, at the same time, the waitress came round. She wasn’t very tall, but she look pretty good after all the early mornings of working here.
“Hi nice to meet you, what can I get you both?” she asked in a calm voice that I thought would be very quiet and soft, though it was actually louder.
“I would like to have a hot blue-mountain coffee and she would like a ….” Thomas said looking at me again after talking to the waitress.
“I would like to have a hazel nut coffee with honey drizzle twist, please.” I said as quietly as possible, so that I wouldn’t disturb the silence around us.
“ You have a very polite fried there, you don’t have to be so tightly packed together, just relax, it’s cool.” She said walking away. After she walked away Thomas gave a low chuckle. The air suddenly filled with the smell of nut’s and honey. The smell wafted around the air for a long time until the waitress came back with her brown tray with a two large mugs that had hot steam wafting out from the top. But there was also a plate that was topped with two large pieces of cookies.
“here are your orders.” She said carefully putting our right drinks in front of us.
“But none of us ordered any cookies.” I said questioningly.
“these cookies are made from our shops secret recipe, hat was passed down form generations to generations.”
“So you’re the shop owner.” I said understanding finally
“Yes sweety, now drink up the cookies were freshly out of the oven they are for our special customers only, the drinks won’t be nice when they’ve cooled down.”
“Sorry but you said sweety, shouldn’t somebody who’s a lot older than me. To tell you the truth, my mom calls me that. The truth is I don’t think you’re that old. You look very young.” I said “ chocolate and hazel nut, but you have a secret ingredient.”
“ wow, you really are a sweet heart, really I’m in my 30’s already I have a 5 years old son and a 3 years old daughter. And yes there is a secret ingredient in there, take a guess, but I wouldn’t be surprised if you got it wrong; we only put a very little amount in there.” She said folding her arms round the brown tray in her arms.
I took a careful breath in after smelling it.
“You’ve added ginger in there. But you only put a little in there, because the chocolate added the moist to the cookie already, however the ginger had moisture too so you only put a little, so it does not overwhelm the cookie with the taste of ginger, also then it wouldn’t be very soft.”
“Girl you just won yourself a chocolate and vanilla icing cupcake. You are the second person who guessed it right, nobody ever thought of putting ginger in a cookie except in ginger breads.” She walked over to the counter, opening the glass cabinet pulling out a yellowed icing cupcake. Slowly I walked over to the counter.
“Who was the first person?” I asked.
“The first person was Thomas over there he comes frequently, and he guessed it just by sniffing it too. You two make quite a pair.” I looked over to Thomas questioningly. But he just sat there silently looking out the window sipping his coffee. I slowly sat back down. I sipped my coffee carefully so that I could taste the foam melting in my mouth. By the time we finished our coffee, we got up putting out coats and cardigans back on. Today Thomas was wearing a long black coat that had 5 buttons. It stopped just 10 cm above his thighs. He looked good; again he’d look better without his mask. Time passed quickly when we left; there were already three customers in the line and some sitting down sipping their warm mugs of coffee.
We walked silently down the street that was now filled with cars and buses and taxis. We went to shopping today. I bought a pair of black mittens for him, it suits him, and you know he likes black. And I bought a pair of white mittens for myself. We also went to shop for sweets, hats, scarves, and a lot of stuff. I brought a new floral patterned shoulder bag, a pair of white mittens, a pair of Dark brown leather boots with laces 10cm above my ankle also I bought some cream coloured leg warmers. By the end of the day I didn’t know how much I spent but I knew how happy I was going into town with him. I bought him a pair of black mitten and a lucky charm, a necklace with a swirl and a 4-leaf-clover in the middle. We took the bus back home without anything again just enjoying the view from outside the window. I wonder when it will snow it was already the middle of December. We walked round the back when the wind started whipping. We huddled closer together until we was sure that we could keep warm in a certain distance. I don’t know when we started holding hands, but in the cold when my hand
