Here's another short one. If you have any ideas, it would be wonderful if you told me about them as I am open to suggestions and would accept any help you would offer :)DA is still not mine..;( Have a good read ^_^
After deciding that he will have to try to get into the house through the front door, however improper it might be, he hastily made his way to the front door and rang the bell. Surely someone would still be up, or so he prayed. He didn't want to spend the night in this snow. He was already freezing and his hands were red from cold. Well, you did it yourself, you old fool. There was still no answer to the door so he rang again. After a minute, he heard someone nearing the door. The thought that he will be let into the warmth again lessened his already sour mood.
Whoever opened the door it wasn't what Charles had expected. With a disgruntled expression, there before him stood none other but The Housekeeper. After seeing who it was at the door her expression changed gradually, from dissatisfaction, to amusement and then curiosity. All that in a matter of seconds. Looks like the world wasn't helping him today. Now she will have another chance to show her dissatisfaction with him. There goes his plan of making amends with her..
"My my, and what are you, of all people, are doing here, in the cold?" Mrs. Hughes asked, without the ability to keep out the amusement from her voice.
"Well I could ask why you are answering the door, when we have footm.." He starterted defensively, not wanting her to see his embarrassment, but didn't get the chance to continue as her face was lit by a huge grin.
"Oh for God's sake, man, come in and stop blabbering and try to warm." She ushered him into the house and locked the door. He was still standing there thrown off balance by the smile on her face that he hadn't seen for a long time, but that wasn't unwelcome at all. Maybe everything is not as bad as he thinks.
She was still standing in front of him, waiting for him to make a move downstairs, but he was still standing there, rooted to the spot. She lifted an eyebrow and smiled a little.
"Well, are you going to stand here until tomorrow morning or are you going downstairs?" Saying that she passed him and nudged him in a shoulder to get a move on.
Without saying anything he followed her receding form.
