Mei pov
Morning came early to me as I heard the barks of the dogs in our neighborhood , my heart trembled and my insides churned with fear . I am not an animal lover especially to dogs.
Once they ran after me and they were about to attack me , if it wasn't for father who shooed them away , I am not sure I could have survived .
Wiping my face I hugged my cold body and looked around .
It was around five in the morning, I need to be careful.. I muttured and stood up walking to my working place .
After a few minutes of sneaking I got in,
The good thing about this little hut is that I am the one who usually have the keys and usually know where to hide them after all my working hours.
Not wasting time, I went to the bathroom and did my business and after few minutes , I took a bath and looked at some dresses that didn't look new and put one on .
"This will do, " i murmured and brushed my curls with my fingers and tie them in a bun . Great , I clapped my hands trying to give myself a more positive light of the day . And trying not to think of what happened yesterday night ,
I wondered if they ate the food , I am just too concerned of their healths ,
I walked to one of the corners and saw a silk cloth , I don't remember buying this .. I murmured and traced out the piece of cloth . It was smooth and silky and played really well with my finger traces .
Great ! Let's make a big and a large winter coat for you,I suggested and took the whole fabric with me ,
But then I remembered something,the cloth was beautiful but it won't protect anybody from winter, it's simple and clingy and it needed more heavier materials and fabrics before I sew it together .
Walking on a large bunk , I took a white cotton long fabric and started working early in the mornings , a small smile tugged on my lips as I kept on sewing and humming a little tune .
The tune was one that mom used to sing for us whenever we slept , that was on the past sadly . But I would never forget that moment because to me every moment is precious and nothing can take these memories away from me ,
A slight snap of the door snapped me out of my thoughts , in came a man who groaned and drowsily walked up to me .. he had his one hand on his head as he shakes it again and again .
Is he drunk or something , ?" Umm excuse me ,??" I ask the man for a little explanation with why was here in the first place being this drunk and early,
Umm sorry miss ..his hoarse dark voice echoed making me confused a little. I have never heard or see this man ever in the village, who could this be , ?
Is he a trespasser , ? Or a robber , ? My insides churned , but it didn't look like he was neither of them either , I lament and finally he looked at me making me gasp ,
He has the finest gray eyes I have seen in my life , he was beautiful , his features were one in a kind .He looked like a noble ,a respectable man in a Large fur coat on his toned skin ,
"Your eyes are pretty , " we both blurted out together coincidently,
I blushed and looked on the floor immediately trying not to laugh, he broke the tension by laughing too .
Oh sorry .. I sounded a little creepy , he says and scratched the back of his head .
Umm.. I am Arthur , he says and gives me his hand and I shaked it warmly, nice to meet you I tell him .
Why are you here , ? I asked as he looked around the room, you are a seamstress , ?? And I assume you have a toilet for a gentleman like me to use ? He asks with a light embarrassing smile ,
I chuckled and nod , yes I do ..
.this way please .. I tell him and lead him.
What a weird man , I murmured and shake my head carrying on with my sewing,
After few minutes. He came out but shirtless making me standup all over sudden and gulped nervously,
Excuse me sir , b..but why aren't you wearing your shirt , ? it's inappropriate . I trailed off making him laugh .
Ahh .. the rules right, ?he asked unsure . Yes , the rules of the village ,
Umm but I don't have anything to wear , he scoffs and I hear him walk around, in que I walked to one of the folded clothes and took a long white T shirt and gave it to him through my back ,
I wasn't risking my eyes at all , nor myself . I have never seen a man half naked nor do I plan to .
Please put this on,I tell him and he took it after few minutes of waiting,
Yeah he is actually judging me and my stupid body and mind of how I reacted ,
Thank you , you can turn he says to me and I hesitantly turn and breathed in relief .
"Ahem !" I coughed after seeing him checking himself out on an old mirror .
"You made this , ?" He asked amused , yes mister . Though I would get loss by giving him this expensive shirt , I had no choice and to hell with it if it will keep my eyes pure for all I care .
What else do you design, ? He asked and looked at the pants that were seen with hard but soft fabric , with coats that matched the same brown and black colour .
These are beautiful and these too,he says lost in his thoughts .
Would you like a look at the others , ?I asked with a light smile,
He looked at me and said something unexpected , "you are gorgeous" making my cheeks flush .. umm thank you, would you like to look at --
I am taking every piece that you have of these ,he announces making my jaw drop ..
"A..are you sure , ?" I asked him .
Yes , everything,
Before I said anything with excitement knowing these clothes will be exchanged with money, the door bursted open ,
"You bitch !! " A familiar screech of Alessia yelled out but quickly she went quiet and said out loud surprisingly,
"Arthur ...?"
