A New Place
"221C Baker Street, please." I said as I climbed into the backseat of a cab with my luggage. The taxi driver nodded, pulled out of the Heathrow airport, and into a busy street.
"So what brings you here?" The driver asked, as he drove down a winding road.
"I'm interning." I answered, as I looked up at all the old buildings that surrounded the streets.
"Oh really? Where at?"
"I actually don't know yet. I can either find an internship on my own, or I can get help at a job agency. But I'm hoping my land lady can help me." I said.
"Ah, I see. Well, I wish you all the luck in the world miss." He said as he drove the taxi to the side of the road. " And here's your final destination; 221C Baker street. And It'll be 15 pounds, miss." I handed him the money, and he quickly helped carry my luggage to the doorstep. I thanked him, and hesitantly went up to the doorstep. This was it, my new home. As I reached my hand out to ring the doorbell, the door flew open, and a tall, dark haired man stood in front of me. His blue-green eyes looked me over quickly before he hurriedly brushed past me. A shorter gentleman came rushing out of the door behind him.
"Sherlock!" He screamed. "hold on a moment for god's sake!" He noticed me, and stopped abruptly. "Oh, hello miss! You must be the new tenant. Mrs. Hudson is the landlady. You'll find her on the door to the right." He said, and he outstretched a hand to me.
"Thank you." I said, giving him a smile.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to catch up to my friend. And I apologize for his behavior. He comes off a bit rude. My name is John by the way. John Watson." And with that, John set off at a brisk walk to find his friend.
"Huh. That was odd." I said under my breath. I quickly grabbed my luggage, and brought everything inside. I walked up to the door John had told me to go to, and I knocked.
"Sherlock! I told you that I will not clean up your mess!" I heard a voice holler from inside. The door unlocked, and a stout woman stood in front of me. "Oh! Hello dear! I forgot you were coming today. Come on, let's get you settled in." She led me to my apartment, and helped bring my bags in. Mrs. Hudson started running around the apartment, showing me where everything was. "Ok, sheets, pillows, and blankets are in the cabinet. There's also towels there, and I put some of my dishes in your cupboards for you to use. I hope you find it to your liking, dear." She said as she rearranged some cushions on the sofa.
"Thank you, so much Mrs. Hudson. This is amazing!" I said as I began making my bed.
"Of course dear! But there is one little detail you should know. There is no shower in your apartment. But you are always free to use mine, or the one upstairs that belongs to the two gentleman, John and Sherlock."
"Oh, I think I met them when I came in."
"Delightful! They are an interesting duo. I hope you will all get along. Well, you should rest up. I'll make you some tea, and we can see about your internship. I have some people that are already interested in you!" She said as she made her way out. I smiled as she left, and I sat down on the sofa, and let out a sigh of relief. Everything was going good.
