Chapter 4

They started eating their delicious sea food and had more wine but it was Ralph that ordered it this time!

Audrey got her slice of strawberry cake shared it with Ralph and then they left the place feeling warm and great.

"Wow that food was amazing wasn't it?" Ralph says to her walking out of the place holding the door for her to leave the place saying lady's first.

"Yes It was! I think It was one of the funnest times I've had at a restaurant in a long while." She smiles at him holding his hand then squeezes it gently in a friendly way.

Ralph was swinging their hands back and forth a little while they walked to wherever interested them.

Audrey then looks at her sliver watch on her hand glancing at the time seeing it was now 6:14pm

They pass by some military men who were off duty one of them taking their hat off saying "lovely bird you got there!" at Ralphs Direction and the guy's mate agreed and said "you're a very lucky guy." Then they walked away from them.

Ralph over hears some of what they said when they walked away from them, one said 'she's a beauty' and the other thought the guy looked 'handsome' which made Ralph laugh.

Audrey then starts speaking. "I think those military men were slightly drunk." They both looked behind seeing one of the men on the ground now laughing at his friend who was dancing doing an imitation of Fred Astaire & trying to sing a song but failed to sing in key.

Audrey and Ralph both began laughing at the whole scene of the two men being drunk then they start to walk across the street walking for a few minutes. then they saw a music instrument shop seeing they were having a big sale!

They walked in the shops door.
being greeted by a 30 something year old man in a suit with black glasses.

They looked at around the shop then the guy asks them "is there an instrument you're interested in buying today during our 30% off sale?" The nice guy asked them.

"we're just looking around, this is our first time being here in Chichester." Audrey answered to his question giving him a small smile.

She was looking at a really pretty hand carved violin while Ralph was looking at the acoustic guitars they had on the walls.

"That's great! Have you visited all the historic places yet?" The guy asked her.

"Well we arrived here I think a couple hours ago and the first thing we went to was the fish & chips restaurant." She says to the tall guy.

Ralph glances around where he was then noticed she was talking to the guy who greeted them when they walked in the place.

He got a little bit jealous of her talking to the tall guy and walked over to her holding her hand in a protective way.

She notices he looked a little ticked off but didn't wanna ask him if he was since she was talking to the owner of the place.

"hello sir I was just talking to your girlfriend about Chichesters historic places." The man said to him.

Ralph smiled glad that the man thought they were a couple and not two complete strangers even though they weren't even dating he liked the ring to it whenever people said it.

"What places you recommend we visit?" Ralph asks the tall guy.

"Well you'll certainly want to visit the famous Cathedral, and the market and also the museum aswell!" He counted them on his fingers.

"Ralph I don't know if we have enough time to go to all these places today it's 8:10pm now." she shows him her nice watch on her wrist.

"well we can still check out the cathedral if it isn't too far from where we are." Ralph says in a hopeful tone.

"the cathedral is only a 20 minute walk from here." The guy says to them.

"that isn't too bad.. but it's starting to get very cold out now." Ralph didn't want Audrey to get too cold or get sick from being outside for too long in this cold weather in Chichester so he thought of a batter idea.

"We can take the bus over there! It shouldn't take too long to get there." He said being a little excited about his  brilliant idea.

Audrey loved his idea and said to him. "That's a great idea!! Let's do that after looking at the other things they got in here." She then thanked the owner guy and he walked away from them to talk to the other customers that were looking at the super expensive instruments.

"Hey look they got a tape recorder!" He said to her pointing at the stuff.

"oh my gosh it's 35 pounds for the recording tape! I only have 12 pounds in my wallet Ralph." She was a little sad about that.

" I only got 16 in mine, maybe we can make a deal with the owner?" He said to her holding her hand.

They walk up to the guy and asked him their question about the tape recorder.

"Ah yes that one is a good quality tape recorder! usually retailing for 48 pounds when it's not on sale in my shop, but I'm sorry 35 pounds is the cheapest I'm selling it today only." The guy says to them.

They both looked a bit disappointed in what the guy said but they thanked him and walked out of the place to go to their next destination.

"too bad the tape recorder was a lot of money." She said walking with him holding his hand.

"Yeah but at least we found out how much it usually costs, i think when we go back to york we can look if there's any music shops that has a sale going on and check if they're selling it for cheaper price." He reply's in a soft way hoping that'll help her feel less sad.

"Yeah You're right Ralph...I just hope it's cheaper then over here cause that tape recorder was really expensive." She says while walking to a sign that said bus stop.

Ralph then kisses her head wrapping his arms around her so she wasn't shivering as much.

She really liked whenever he got close to her and gave her a small peck on the head when things got worse it always made her feel less sad & feel more at home.

"Thanks Ralphh..I'm feeling a little better now.." She says to him blushing.

"I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now Audrey, once we get to the Cathedral I'm going to find a bakery close by and buy you anything your heart desires." He says smiling.
