Hey guys, I hope you'll like this fanfiction!
I totally ship Sweeney and Nellie, so I think they deserve a chance to get lucky together...
"Brought you some breakfast, dear!" Cheerfully as always the baker entered into the little room above her pie shop and put the tablet onto a commode. She sighted quietly when the barber who was starring out of the window didn't react. Of course he had heard her, of course he had. Though he didn't mind her really. As always. For the baker it was horrible. She cared for him, every day she did, and he? Even didn't talk with her, just stared out of the window.
"Mr. T., might I ask you a question?" Now he had no other choice than to answer her.
"What?", the barber said. There was no emotion in his voice and he didn't stop staring out of the window. But he didn't ignore the baker and that was what she wanted. She wanted him to talk with her.
"What did your Lucy look like?", the baker asked. It was nothing the barber liked to talk about. "Can't really remember, can't you?", she continued.
Finally the barber answered. "She had yellow hair."
Again the baker sighted. Slowly she stepped behind him. "You've got to leave all this behind you now. She's gone.", she tried to make it clear to him. He couldn't stand there for the rest of his life and think about the past. It all happened fifteen years ago, it wasn't easy for him. The baker knew all this, but – unlike the barber - she also knew that his life had to go on.
"Life is for the alive, my dear. We could have a life, we two... Maybe not like I dreamed, maybe not like you remember. But we could get by", she said. Now the barber finally turned and looked at her. Her gaze was painful, sad. She knew that she would never have him if he couldn't forget his past. Or get over it, at least. She knew that he didn't realize what she really felt for him, why she would do everything for him. As long as he only could think of his dead wife and revenge, he wouldn't learn to love again.
The barber looked at her, he knew that she maybe wanted to help him. But he couldn't forget everything. His wife was dead and his daughter... There was this judge, he had the barber's child and the judge was the one who destroyed the barber's family, his life.
He had had such a wonderful life. And now? Now he only could think of revenge. His life would never be again what it had been. He had nothing. In his life was no place for love and happiness. There was nothing but sorrow and anger.
The baker couldn't stand any more where she was. It almost broke her heart when she saw him so depressed every day. It was worse for her than the fact that he would never feel the same for her as she felt for him.
She stepped closer to the barber and pressed her lips on his. She expected that he would push her away, but... he didn't.
He was like dazed when he stroke over her cheek and kissed her back. The baker just took his hand and dragged him downstairs, into her bedroom. Without hesitating the barber followed her. The baker closed the door while the barber started to kiss her neck. His lips wandered down to her naked shoulders and at the same time he opened her corset.
The baker knew that it wasn't love. Though she didn't stop him and took off his west and shirt. She shivered slightly when his cold lips again touched hers. The barber took off the dress of the woman in front of him. She was only his neighbour and somebody who helped him with his revenge. But he couldn't stop kissing her. He pushed her onto the bed, her hands moved over his back, down to his trouser.
They both knew how it would end. But why not having a little bit fun in life at least? The barber didn't know why he was doing that, why he had such a big longing.
Also the baker couldn't explain why the barber was doing this. She had expected that he would reject her, hate her.
After this, they both knew, everything would go on like always. They wouldn't talk about it, they would live their everyday life. He would kill his costumers and she would make her meat pies...
As you see, the prologue is a scene from the movie... With another ending.
I hope that you liked it, please review if you'd like to see how it will go on! :)
