Chapter 2 the New Boy
A few days passed and I finally had the guts to go back to the bar. It was the morning and a nice day to make wine so I grabbed a barrel of grapes and brought it to the bar. Before I got in I spotted the Mayor coming down the street with a new guy walking next to him. The Mayor waved to me to stop and come over. With a groan I set the barrel down and walked over to them.
"This is Karen she is the daughter of the manger of the bar," the mayor said pointing to me.
I looked at the mayor with the most confused eyes I could make. The mayor cleared his throat. "Oh yes sorry Karen this is Jack the new owner of the old man's farm." "Jack this is Karen." Jack held out his hand with a smile and waited for my greeting.
Before I said or did anything I looked him over. He was a casual guy and wore overalls and a blue cap, which he wore backwards. He had some beautiful brown eyes also some matted down dark brown hair came out from under his hat.
I just grunted and said. "Have a nice day." The mayor looked at me and glared. I smiled and said, "nice try mayor but you can't get me to do anything." As I walked away I heard the mayor sigh and say, "sorry Jack she not the nicest girl on the block. "Luckily we have many other girls but their nice!" I stopped and turned my head when I heard Jack say to him, "It's ok I don't blame her for it, I'm a foreigner after all. All she needs is to get to know me. Under it all I think she is a nice loving girl!"
The mayor turned to the side and rolled his eyes. "Maybe but you don't know Karen!"
I turned around and glared at the Mayor.
Jack turned to me and frowned then back to the Mayor. "You know Mayor after living in the city so long you come to understand that people who seem to be always happy have something hidden inside something dark that there afraid to show. But the one who act mean have had a dark life too but are looking for something they express pain instead of hide it I think she has guts unlike me..." Jack explained. "In order to find that you must express yourself to hide it even better."
I blushed and continued walking. "Why did he stick up for me, no one has ever done that for me?" I thought silently.
- Sorry it's so short couldn't think of any other ideas!
