Shannon's P.O.V.
Walking into Westown, uncle Frank told me and Henry to go on ahead of him, he needs to check on his animals and get his guitar Wait, he's playing tonight? Oh, hell yes! My first day in town and I get to watch my favorite uncle play his music. Just like when I was little.
Following my brother through town, we passed a few people, two of them was children while the other one, was, believe it or not, Wayne. He must be finishing up delivering the mail. The postman had greeted me and just like the polite person I am, I ignored my brother's warning from earlier and greeted him back like a normal human being. Part of me just did it to get on Henry's nerves, and he knows it. That explains the look I've received from him.
Smirking, I passed him, entering the shopping district. I remember passing it earlier, finding the restaurant can't be difficult. Passing a elderly man with a fishing rod, I waved, actually letting Henry catch up to me. "Don't tell me you want me to avoid the elderly too," I teased, letting him take the lead once again.
"Nah, you're good." Walking backwards, he continued. "Of course you can talk to the elderly, don't be ridiculous. I know what you're trying to do, I get it okay? ….Just be careful, 'Kay?"
"Geez, Henry you're acting like I'm actually going to go after a guy who I literally just met or something," I giggled, "I think you know me better than that."
"Hi, Henry!"
Turning around, my brother smiled at the blonde girl who approached us. "Hey Lisette. What's up?"
Watching my brother very closely, I noticed that he's literally showing this girl the exact same "kindness" that Wayne showed me. Now, this is amusing. Especially since I noticed the girl' blush.
"I was just going to go see Ludus about something when I saw you two." The girl giggled, turning to me. "Hi, I'm Lisette! It's nice to meet you Miss." She smiled.
"Hey." I greeted, returning her smile. Aww, she's adorable, I already like her. "It's nice to meet you too. I'm Shan, Henry's sister." Lightly punching the mentioned brother's arm, I did my best to act innocent.
"Henry I didn't know you had a sister, I hope you like it here Shan, and I hope we can be friends! I run the local flower shop in town, come on by okay?"
Wait, she's the florist? Now I know why Henry possibly has a thing for her. I grinned. "Definitely, I'll check it out sometime." Still grinning, probably like a idiot, I continued chatting with the cute flower girl. Something's telling me that Lisette and I will get along just fine.
We've separated though, with me promising Lisette I'd visit her shop sometime. I think Henry just had enough of our conversation anyway, I noticed it, smiling innocently. "Gotta love us girls, what can I say, we just love to talk." I smirked, "However….."
"What?" Henry looked at me curiously.
"What was that about back there? You know what, never mind," I paused, "Should've known you'd be a…"
"What?"
"Hypocrite." I coughed, entering the restaurant. I have to admit, it's nice in here. I also wanted to drop this whole conversation, but Henry continued it.
"How am I a hypocrite?"
With a groan, I didn't answer him. I literally was sick of this conversation and something's telling me that we won't see eye to eye. "Just forget it okay Henry?" With those words, I approached the bar and sat down. "Excuse me sir but can I have a glass of-" Actually paying attention to my surroundings, I gotten a better look of the man. Damn, he's hot. "…Water?" Is it in my imagination, or, is every guy in this town really good looking?
"Shan he's married," Henry whispered into my ear, sitting down next to me with a smirk. "Sup, Brad." He greeted the man with amusement.
Smiling innocently, I secretly kicked Henry's leg, of course the guy was married, I mean just look at him. A small part of me wished he wasn't, though.
"Not much. Same as always." The guy greeted Henry back, turning to me. "Ah, heya, I'm Brad. I run this place with my wife Carrie and grandfather Marco. And, you are?"
"Shan," I answered, waving hi to the woman who approached us. This must be Carrie.
"Hey there!" The woman said cheerfully. "I'm Carrie!"
It seems Carrie didn't notice me staring at her husband, thank god for that. "Hey." I smiled sweetly.
"Guys, this is my sister. She's moving in with me for a while." Henry explained, pausing as the door opened. "Crap."
"Huh?" Turning my head, I watched as Henry got up and approached the woman who entered. Wait, was that the pregnant woman from the clinic? If so, she shouldn't be standing.
"Leigh. Let me guess, one of my dogs "attacked" you again?" Henry asked with amusement. Growing curious, I approached the scene before me.
"You're actually smarter than I thought. Henry, how many times do I have to tell you to keep your large beasts on a leash? One of them came up to me when I was taking my afternoon walk, I could've been injured."
"Not a fan of dogs?" I asked innocently. Things just gotten interesting.
"No, she isn't." Henry answered, crossing his arms. "Leigh, were you in the cross roads again? I already told you, no, I will not keep my dogs on a leash. Those dogs are finding pets and you know it. I have no control over their location. Besides, they even didn't harm you in any way. They didn't last time, so I know that they didn't this time."
"Why can't you just be a cat person like the rest of us?" Leigh walked passed us, approaching the counter. "Brad I need coffee."
I looked at Henry curiously. "What was that about?" I started laughing. Seriously, moving here: best decision, ever!
A/N: Hey, I know it has been a while, but, um….yeah, I have no excuses. But, um, at least I'm here now? Anyway, I hope you guys will like this chapter and I'll write more soon.
