Chapter 6: Exploring London
Valkyries P.O.V:
I sat in the cafe, still in London and apparently not looking at my highest standards because the woman behind the counter has kept trying to offer me an aspirin. The cafe was fairly substantial as well as fairly empty. There were 3 men sitting nearest the counter, trying to attract the waitresses attention in vain. A couple sitting on the table aganced the wall beside them. Then there was me sitting outside with the sun on my back. Six altogether wasn't very many customers so I suspected, with them not offering dinner they had a decent lunch rush. I closed my eyes trying to ignore how nugatory it was around me. Pulling out my bag and reaching into it opening, I wondered how it was still dry after it was in the poring rain. It wasn't plastic and It didn't feel waterproof. It felt...familiar, like something I used to own. I slipped my hand through the bags content looking for the phone when I herd raised voices coming from inside. Peering through the glass I noticed the waitress admonishing one of the men who had successfully grabbed the hem of her skirt. The couple had both stood up and were trying to reason with the man but he was too busy joking to his friends. I sighed, what a lovely way to kill a perfectly innocent morning that I happen to be enjoying. I stood up and walked inside, instantly earning a glare from one of the man's obnoxious friends. The man glaring at me had dark brown hair and he was just a bit over weight. The couple looked over at me with appreciative nods but to be honest I didn't have the time of day. The man still had a hold of the girls skirt and was making cocky remarks. His green eyes wandered over her chest and I couldn't held but notice how out of place he looked. He looked about twenty, maybe twenty-two with white blond hair and plain cloths, they were well maintained. Like It had never been worn before so he obviously had a lot of money. Which explained his arrogant attitude, He had his hair gelled and he was tanned with an impressive amount of muscle, especially on his arms. His friends clothing were worn and the were both tiered and quite heavyset. I strode ford with out letting myself get to caught up and addressed the man in the middle. "and what would you be doing on a morning like this I wonder?" He looked me up and down. He smiled like he was pleased with what he saw pervert. "Havn'in a little fun" he remarked still looking smug. "she's not. Are you miss?" I said broadening the question. The couple were silent, not even his two friends said anything. He let go of her skirt and she scampered away, giving me a curt nod. The blond was still looking at me "My names Jason" "do I know you?" "Not yet you don't, looking for a job?" "no" I said already board, I turned around and left. He yelled at me to turn around but to be frank I couldn't care less. I just walked away, almost beginning to wonder what I had been missing out on. Almost. I kept going till I got to another main street and checked the bus schedule. Apparently you could leave by bus from Westminster Bridge but you wouldn't get very far so I decided to take a train to Slough. Even an express train would be over an hour but It would give me some time to work things out at least.
Note:
Okay so it's a bit short but theres another chapter around the corner. Now for those of you who are living or have lived in england, london. you will know the eria. I dont. I live on the other side of the world. I am a New Zealander, I know the basics. I know the main suburbs, the eria. England, wales, Ireland, scotland, the smaller places and islands like the isle of white, and a bit about its history and citizenship but I am not an expert. I research this, use google maps for location and check out transport and what the arias are like. Places to stay, to bus from, to eat at. Feel free to correct any eras but bear that in mind, some of it is quite confusing.
hope you enjoyed that, thanks for reading
