Another
Place,Another Time
Chapter 12 Part 1
"...Stephanie.", she extended her hand for me to shake. I
did so. I noticed how rather soft her hands were. Not to be creepy
or anything. It's just that,well, mind are quite rough. A
flashback for some other time. 'She must be Catherine.'
"You'll get used to it.",she said with a gentle
smile. Where I came from, shaking hands was rather formal.
"Come on let's go! We have work to be done!",
suddenly her demeanor became open and quite friendly.
At first we down the opposite corridor in which the lady had went,
then again there were many of those.
"So...", she began. "Yea.", I replied. She sped
up a bit. 'Does my way of speaking, scare her?I'm not
creepy like that thing,right?' I questioned myself.
Unexpectantly, she ran. I chased after, feeling more relaxed. The
tenseness before had now eased away. And then returned when I
realized how many fragile decorations scattered the corridor.
I did my best to stay within the center of the aisle.
Then Catherine stopped in front of a simple wood door. She swiftly
opened it and yanked me in with her.
I tripped over something and fell. "Ofph!" Luckily I
landed on a really soft cushion.
I got up and, "Whoa.."
I held the cushionI fell on. It was so pretty! The whole thing was
beautifully embroidered. 'That's so cool.'
"I know right, by the way what do you think of pink?",I
heard Catherine say. I scanned the room to find where she was. I
caught sight of a canopy bed, a full body mirror, a cute little
dresser, and some other things I don't really know the names
of.
There she was. I saw her head pop out of a closet.
"So?"
"Yea, it's okay. I guess..", I answered, cautious
of the reason behind this question. "How 'bout
frills? bows? lace? silk? Hmmmm....white? What else...."
