Now, i feel like a woman
Crystal Hutchinson - That's Crystal with a C and a Y not an I" I huffed as the ditsy receptionist scribbled out the horrendous spelling of my name and re-wrote it.
"Ok gawjess, yaw in raom 5, up the sters, raund the cawner on the left.heres yaw keys, just drop em in tha deposit box when ya leave and we'll charge ya on ya card"
I was glad to see that she had passed her english GCSE and customer service skill exams I giggled to myself as i picked up my keys and made my way up the grand staircase. what on earth was such a common girl doing working on recption in one of the grandest guest houses i have ever seen, let alone stayed in.
I slid the key into the lock and turned it. As i entered the room, i felt relaxed and calm. It was so beautiful, so dainty. the white lace curtains draped to the floor, but allowing beads of snlight to stream through them. I could feel a gentle breeze, and it smelt amazing.
I collapsed on the bed, peace and tranqility, just what i needed. There was a small restaurant downstairs. I decided to have a shower and then make my way down for some lunch.
Thw warm dropets of water ran carressed my skin, and as i awkwardly tried to avoid getting my bandages wet, i began to relax and unwind. Suprisingly, being in hospital and the whole situation with being in love...i mean...liking Scott had taken it's toll on me. I felt different. Today i felt like a woman, not a girl. I had stood up for myself, and told Scott where he stood. Well almost. I'm sure he knew?
I towelled, dressed and plled my hair back into a curly ponytail (my hair was still wet). I left my room and followed the signs to the restuarant. On my way, i passed a small library. This house was more a mansion. Written on a post it note and stuck on the door, was a job advertisement for somebody to tidy the books and keep the library looking in a decent condition. I remember now I remember Fletcher House was on the job advertisement i picked up from the noticeboard on the village green. But why would they be advertising somewhere an hour and a half away?
This didn't occur strange to me, all i could think was how wonderful it would be to work here, i walked straight in to apply.
