Part Two
Natty woke the sun brightly shining through the thin material that was suppose to be a curtain, as she slowly lifts herself up she notices Cook fast asleep on the chair making her lightly touch his arm,
"Cook? its morning Cook" Natty says gently as Cook stirs slowly from his sleep as Natty took in the small and dusty room,
"What time is it?" Cook asks groggily whilst Natty shrugs as she was unsure what day it was never mind time! Natty quickly wipes her eyes before Cook saw as the last thing she wanted was for him to think that she wasn't strong enough! Cook stretches before standing and walking over to Natty,
"Lets get some breakfast"
"With what?"
"I have a couple of quid babe. you coming?" Natty nods before realising that she was somehow wearing his jacket making her look mortified over at Cook,
"Cook you must of been frozen all night!" Natty exclaims trying to unzip when Cooks hand gently took hold of hers,
"Babe it don't matter. You need to keep yourself warm...I have other clothes" Natty looks gratefully over at Cook as they made their way out of the flat and made their way towards the busy high street, the winter winds blowing making their teeth chatter as they clung onto each other. They went into the first café unable to tolerate the cold any longer as they huddled together,
"So Natty you never did tell me why your here?" Cook asks watching as a shivering Natty looks down at the table,
"I had to leave home...I lied to my folks said that I was safe and happy...truth is I am been staying at random peoples houses...until my luck ran out and I had too sleep under a bridge...I can`t go back home" Cook places his hand on top of her trembling hand,
"Hey its alright kiddo your safe with me. Now drink up your tea and I will go see if there`s any jobs about"
"Oh right yeah...I suppose that I'm not looking or smelling to good right now" Cook follows Natty`s gaze where other people were sat clearly making sly comments about her making Cook tremble in anger as Natty clearly was self conscious. Cook stood and strides over to this group of people,
"Fucking problem?" Cook demands making them all look at each other startled before one woman scowled bravely over at Cook,
"Yes actually a hygiene problem involving your girlfriend" Cook leans forward,
"Now you wankers listen to me now my Girlfriend is fully aware of her situation but through no fucking fault of her own she cannot shower..."
"But she can if she put her mind to it" Cook gritted his teeth as he felt his fist tremble,
"Fuck you and fuck your stupid pathetic perfect world!" he mutters before walking back towards a mortified looking Natty, Cook wraps an arm around her and leads her out the café. Cook and Natty walked down the busy street in silence before Cook sensing her discomfort stopped in his tracks,
"Babe don't fucking listen to those fuckers!"
"But they had a point I am disgusting...but thank you for defending me" Cook took hold of her hand,
"We are a fucking team now girl! anyway lets see if you can wash somewhere" Natty lightly kisses his cheek before they continue down the street.
Natty stood under the hot water her eyes closed as she makes the most of the moment, Cook was really a lifesaver as he managed to find an old friend from college that had moved down here and had sweet talked into letting us use his shower! Cook knocks on the door but got no answer as he slowly enters the room,
"Sorry you didn't hear me knock!"
"Oh! shut your eyes!" Natty says panicked as no man had seen her naked before as she turns off the water her heart beating wildly,
"They closed!"
"Yeah darling I promise" Natty feeling reassured stepped out the shower grabbing a towel,
"You can open now" Cook opens his eyes looking at a much happier looking Natty,
"Well someone`s more perky!" Natty laughs lightly,
"When is your mate back?" Cook shrugs,
"we better get out of here anyways"
"I am really in no hurry to head back to that flat!" Cook smiles lightly before taking her hand,
"Well its a good thing we ain`t going back there then!" Natty looks confused as this clearly did not make any sense whatsoever!
"But we have nothing...where we off to?"
"I got myself a job but it is a couple of hours drive from here...besides we get proper accommodation with a Shower babe" Natty did love the feeling of being clean again plus now that Cook had got himself a job she was sure that it wouldn't be long until she had one too! things were already starting to look up.
