Roommates
Chapter 40
Cassie finally woke up around 11, so
we decided to go out to shop in Santa Monica.
The sun was beaming on my face, making me slightly sweaty.
The weather in California was nothing like in Rhode Island.
California was much warmer, while Rhode Island was cooler.
"Hey, let's go in here." Cassie said, tugging my
arm.
I followed her into a vintage boutique.
It was pretty creepy inside, considering the fact that the store
was dimly lit with candles, and the racks of clothing and
accessories were old and rusty.
"What are we doing in here, Cass? It's scary." I
shuddered.
She shot me a look. "Don't be such a baby!"
I sighed, as I followed her towards the back of the store, where
the cashier was.
The cashier was a woman who looked in her 60's.
She looked tired and bored, tapping her fingers on the wooden
counter.
"Excuse me, I heard from a friend that the owner here does
fortune telling?" Cassie asked.
The old lady's eyes lit up in a shade of dark grey, as she
nodded.
"That would be me, darling." she purred.
"Great." Cassie smiled, as the lady assisted her down
on a stool.
She held Cassie's palms out, as she closed her eyes in deep
concentration.
Her bony fingers wandered on Cassie's soft skin, as she
started to hum.
After a moment, the old lady's eyes shot open, and she stared
at Cassie contently.
"I-I see a lot of... money in your future. You'll be a
very wealthy woman in no time." the old lady said, nodding
her head at Cassie.
Chills went up my spine.
"Really? Oh, that's great! Thank you! Here." Cassie
smiled gratefully, handing the woman twenty dollars.
"No problem, darling."
We were about to turn around and head out the door, as the
woman's voice spoke up, again.
"What about you, sweetie? Don't you want to know about
your future?" she asked.
I bit my lip, and slowly turned back to her.
"Oh, that's a great idea! Go, Carson!" Cassie
cheered.
"Yes, come my dear." the old lady smiled wickedly.
I hesitated, before sitting on the same stool Cassie did.
She held out my palm, and repeated the process.
Her cold, stony fingers crept up and down my palm, as my heart
was thumping.
Her eyes suddenly opened, as a small smile appeared on her
lips.
"I see love in your future." she nodded.
I frowned. "What? When?"
"Well, not until a few years, or so. But, I do see someone
dedicating themselves for you."
Who could it be?
Wait, I didn't believe this fortune crap, did I?
I shook out my thoughts, as I reached in my wallet to hand her a
twenty.
"No, no, darling. It's fine." she insisted.
"What? Why?" I asked.
"I give exceptions for love." she winked.
I was taken aback for a moment, before I nodded.
"Are you sure?" I asked again.
"Positive."
"Well, thank you?" I said awkwardly.
"It's fine, dear. But, remember to come back and visit
me once you found your man."
I took in a deep breath, before nodding.
"I promise."
Creepy chapter? I think so. ;)
