A long time coming

In the beginning....

The mist was heavy and all around my window pane, for this was a day to never be forgotten with all the rain falling onto the gravel at the corner of my old frame...

What a busy day the people were rushing back and forward to the shops carrying all sorts of items whether it was grocery's or what it was this day seemed hectic and whilst i was making my way through the crowd as fast as possible that man the same man who i have saw like a thousand times this month was there with a black hooded jumper and stared at me until i caught eye sight with him, soon he quickly turned away pretending he wasn't looking or watching , what a creepy man that he was as well which gave me almost unbearable chills rushing from bone to bone under my skin , but wait maybe hes following me? should i trick him and catch him out? oh jeez what should i do? all these crazy thoughts were burrling round in my brain like a ferris wheel at the carnival along by the pear. Flashes of bulbs along with the un hinged words bouncing up and down as the ones on the screen of my laptop did.

I walked to my car still thinking about all these possibility's. I then put the key in started the car , off i drove home wondering what to do next so i wrote a note for whoever it may be leaving it on the window of my car on the window under the screen wiper and went inside and locked the door.

Morning arose the note was gone yet another was in its place with very messy handwriting i was a little confused yet more surprised as the note said meeting at 4pm cafe of Mellses. Mellses was my local coffee shop which was either a coincidence or he was really creepy?.

Getting my clothes , hair and make up on , now i am Ready to go very nervous as i have no idea what i am walking into it is only 3:50pm i am sitting down at this small red table with leather seats so shiny as if they had been furely pollished and a nice place mat which made me laughof course as it had a bull with a red hat on it but thats another story. Twirling my juice cup straw as i wait and then he walks in all dark with a hint of mystery and sits down in front of me with a grin as if butter wouldn't melt , he is smug i am guessing of course.

The next day its time for work after last nights meet and yes i do feel a lot better and more on track with what i am doing now ... Duty calls and all that ... the car wont start and i am getting annoyed oh yes with all the commosion i needed water so walking to the station now for a re fill, starting the car i drive to granny's little florist , get inside put my uniform on and granny's at the desk with a cup of tea for me smiling away she asked how my weekend was , so i explained everything and she laughed thinking it was some sort of joke as it was a pretty big deal to me but she knew that as to why she was trying to wind me right up , just like granny always done , one thing she had was a sense of humour. The day went on busy and the men and woman with children were in and out so we were totally rushed off our feet and i was so glad when the day was over. Getting into the car i drove back home for my nice bubble bath and as i approached the front door there was a note on my welcome matt that said 4 pm Mellses again? i was like okay no problem thinking to myself and wrote back yes sure and went inside for my bath , soaking in my bubbles my entire bathroom filled up with lavender and honey scents which was so relaxing. My watch struck past 4 pm and i am here hes already waiting with a cola and some crisps ready to talk away like normal but tonight was different this man was more open than usual which made me feel less uncomfortable as he was telling me about how hes stayed over seas an came as hes always wanted to meet me. Me being me was a bit like what is he talking about but then as he went on i started too realise this man knew alot about me and my granny which to me helped my curisoity of who was this man? , so i asked him " whats your name " he replied " you can call me Creig darling Mary " i looked at him he looked at me in the exact same way and i said " how do you know about me and my granny MacDonald " he paused and then " i am your dad you dont know this as you weren't supposed to be involved " i gasped and let out " dad ? where have you been ? " he slurred as he spoke about my mother and the past and explained why he wasn't around , obviously i laughed thinking he was some sort of weirdo with a crazy personality that liked too tell stories but then i stared to wonder what if he is being serious? what if he is my dad and its all the truth? i started to panic and ran out the cafe un sure of what i had just experienced and drove as fast as i could to granny's to tell her about this looney of a man.
