Chapter Three Shopping

EMMA'S POV

I was forced into wearing something uncomfortable, I mean how do girls breath in these clothes? I've just been wearing this for just a few minutes, but I won't stop complaining to Mary on how uncomfortable I was in these clothes. Is this some sort of abomination to girls or what.

The worst part was the shoes, I felt like my feet were swelling and sweating in them by each second that passed. Mary had long had enough of me, that she wasn't even paying attention to me. Instead, she was muttering some things I couldn't comprehend as she led me to God knows where.

I was not paying attention to where I was going, until I bumped my head onto someone's hard chest. I looked up, and my eyes met with those dark blue eyes, we stared at each other's eyes none of us wanting to back down. The world around us dissipated and silence engulfed us, and the rhythm of our breathing was the only noise that could be heard. My eyes scanned his face as if I was looking for something that was missing, his skin was flawless, and I had an urge to palm his cheeks, which compared to my chubby ones, his was straight eliminating every sharp curve of his face. He looked strikingly handsome, then my eyes dropped to his rosy pink lips and I swallowed hard, because I wanted to kiss him. I was quite shocked with what I was thinking, and I backed away from the young man surprised by how close we were next to each other.

LACHLAN'S POV

I was surprised when someone collided with me, the coffee I had in hand spilled on my pants and the hot brown drink not only stained my jeans but also burned my thigh. I yelped but the person next to me didn't seem to notice. Annoyed I looked down to her, but for some reason my eyes softened only for a second, then it went back to its cold and distant way, but that didn't quite seem to faze her because her dark eyes refused to leave mine and I didn't back down either.

My eyes roamed her face and I noticed she had a scar on her left cheek, her skin was pale, she had chubby cheeks that I found quite cute. Her plump lips were a darker shade of pink compared to mine, then she bit one side of her lower lip, and then she moved away from me as if she just realized something.

"I... I'm sorry... really sorry,"she apologIzed, "oh no, your pants, I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry. Will the stain come off, go and change I'll wash this for you. You know I wash clothes, and iron them with a coal metal iron box. It's always kind of fun, but my mom says it's boring but i enjoy doing it so... You should try too, I know I'm rumbling now but it happens when I am nervous," she rambled and I could see the scared faces of my servants, they thought the girl was done for since I didn't like noise, but to their surprise, I raised my hand and she flinched protecting herself, as if I was going to hit her but I gently stroked her weird cut hair and told her that it was okay. I could see their surprise on her face as she spoke up, her voice shaking, "aren't you going to punish me ?" I looked at her and shook my head,as I wondered what type of life she used to lived. I looked at her one last time, and told her to go take her breakfast we were going shopping. Then I left to change into fresh clothes.
