Hey, this chapter is a short one, but the next chapter will be very long :) I'll try to post the next one also today. I hope you will like it.
Nellie wakes up, her dress is wet from her tears, the sunlight falls through the window over her, and shines in her eyes. Her eyes are tired and her lips are dry. She takes a deep breath, and presses her lips together. She's a women, she is strong.
Nellie stretches herself out and feels how her dress is sticking to her warm body. She takes another one out of her brown closet and puts it on. Her small, thin fingers are handy with the corset, and in a minute or two she has changed clothes. Then she goes to the bathroom and throws a big splash of water in her face. "Pfff" she sighs, she's awake. She doesn't try to look in the mirror, she knows she will look very pale and tired. She doesn't want to see it.
She goes down to her shop, and throws the pies from yesterday, which are still laying on the table, away.
Then she goes to the cellar and tries to make some pies out of the little amount of meat what's still left. She puts them in the big, hot oven. They turn out good, only a bit smaller then normal. She takes a deep breath when she smells the delicious smell of the pies, and takes them upstairs.
There are already some hungry customers standing in front of her shop. She opens the door, "come in, i've made some fresh pies today. Oh, hello Mrs. White, hello Mrs. Brown, hello Mr. Brown. Come in."
All the customers walk in and choose a place where they want to sit during their delicious meal.
Nellie wants to walk to the small pies, when she suddendly feels two hands on her shoulders. It are big, warm hands, her heart starts to beat faster. "Where is he?"whispers a soft voice in her ear. She shivers. "He's on eh, on a journey" she puts a fake smile on her dry lips. "And you have to do everything alone here?" He sighs, like it seems that he's finding that really sad. "Ahw, poor women..." He grins. His hands go slowly to her waist. Nellie is frozen, what does she have to do?! She doesn't like what the man is doing, but she doesn't want to make a scene here. She shivers again when the hands go down to her hips. "Can i help you with something, sweetheart?" Mr Jones smiles when he whispers, Mrs Lovett, what a beautiful women. He feels how she shivers when he touches her, his hands go up again to the shoulders of Mrs Lovett. Her body is warm, and soft.
Let him stop, let him stop. Nellie got enough of his nasty hands and his creepy smile. Come on Nell, you are a women. You are strong! She says with a hard voice: " No, thank you, i can perfectly handle it by myself." And she walks away. Mr Jones looks when she walks away, her beautiful curly hair is messy, but still beautiful. Her skin is pale as milk, and her lips are red as cherry's. What a wonderfull women. It's a pity that she's in love with that stupid barber. He would kill him to get that women. But now he's gone, on a journey, and he, Mr Jones can show to Mrs Lovett that he's much better than the barber. He wants the baker, and Mr Jones gets always what he wants..

The baker takes a bottle of gin out of the cupboard. She opens it and takes a nip. Then she drinks the whole bottle without a stop. She sighs. It has been a really heavy day. She is exhausted, without Mr Todd to help her; everything is twice as hard. She has been thinking the whole day about Mr Todd, what is he doing now? Does he has food, or is he hungry? Where is he sleeping tonight?
She has no idea.
So that was the end ;) I hope you liked it! thank you for my first review Miss Bellatrix Lovett ;)
