Chapter 5

They got on the bus and found a nice comfy seat.

While On their way to the historic 12th century cathedral, they talked about how nice it looked outside even if it was pretty dark outside. 

Although the lap lights were on, it made the city look just perfect for a night out on the town.

10 mins later they were finally there! it was raining a little bit outside when they got out of the bus and both started walking wishing it wasn't so damn cold outside this evening.

"Wow Ralph look at that the Cathedral it's.. so beautiful!" She said pointing at it being blown away from how old and tall the building looked like.

"You're so right Audrey it is beautiful." They walked closer to the 12th century building Ralph holding her close to keep warm since it was 22 degrees Fahrenheit at night.

They noticed a guy playing a guitar in a corner singing in Italian and Audrey thought of a fun idea.

"Ralph may I dance with you in the rain?" She asked him making puppy dog eyes at him.

"Yes I'd be delighted to dance with you Audrey."
he gently takes her hands and puts one on his shoulder and one in his hand and then they started ballroom dancing.

The guy noticed them dancing and  walked bit closer to them so he could be heard more clearly by them.

She was smiling at Ralph and enjoying listening to the Italian man sing a beautiful tune.

They both moved like they were dancing on heavens clouds, and noticed their shoes splashing on the water underneath them whenever they both took a step together.

Audrey felt like she was in a romance film falling for a James Stewart character.

They dance for a while longer and the guy with the guitar played two more tunes before it started to rain a lot more.

Audrey slowly stops dancing
looking at Ralph.  
"Hey I really think we should head to a bakery now It's starting to rain pretty heavily now." She said worriedly.

"Yeah you're right, let's go and see if there's any close by." they both walk and thank the guy that played a few songs for them and then gave him some change.

The weather got a lot more windy and worse, they could hear the thunder and saw some lightning so then they started running to the bake goods place that Audrey saw.

"thank..god this place... is still open!.." Ralph said out of breath from running from the ugly storm that was now developing before his eyes.

They were under a little roof that was helping them not get covered in big water droplets.

"Yeah!!.. thank god this place was close by to the Cathedral or we would've been super drenched in water!" Her hair was now pretty soaked in water.

Ralph agreed with Audreys words,
He then opens the door to the bakery place and is greeted by an old man that looked to be in his early 70s.

"Welcome to Bernie's baked goods!" He said to them then noticed that the two were shivering and coughing into their hands looking like they just fell into a river and didn't dry off, poor kids he thought to himself.

"OH MY you Las and Lad alright??" He rushed to them worried they might've gotten hypothermia in this rubbish weather Chichester was having.

Audrey was still having some trouble breathing."I'm...*coughs* okay just..*coughs* trying to take *coughs* deep breaths." She then finds a chair to sit on and takes off her now very heavy coat.

"lassie take slow deep breaths You're going to be just fine." He was still worried about her condition but hopefully those words helped her feel a little better.

"Sit down lad I'll bring you two some hot tea and biscuits." The guy then gets two nice cups of Earl gray tea and adds some sugar into it to keep their blood sugar at a good level since they both looked like they needed it.

He then grabs some biscuits from the glass case (that holds all the bread and treats) and puts it in a small box for them to share.

He then returns to them holding their hot cups of tea and the little box of biscuits.

Ralph started sneezing a little bit and grabbed his handkerchief from his pocket to blow his nose.

"Here are you're tea drinks added some sugar in it, and also some free biscuits to help you feel better from being out in that loud rain storm." He smiles at them.

"thank you so much kind sir! we very much appreciate your hospitality."  Audrey said and took a nice sip of the tasty tea her stomach feeling warmer then it has been all day.

Ralph puts away his handkerchief and try's the tea, he then grins from the nice warmth entering his body.

"it's no problem at all lassie I hope y'all like the tea and biscuits." He then goes in the backroom behind a curtain.

"Ralph are you feeling alright?" She asks him worried. she puts her hand on his forehead to check his temperature and he was burning up his forehead sweaty now.

"no I don't feel good.. my nose is super cold and my body feels frozen..." he looked very pale in the face his lips were tuning to a purple blue color.

She looked about the same as him face pale as a sheet and lips blueish looking too from being out in the cold today.

"Oh dear.. Ralph you're forehead is buring up." Her voice was sad. She then wiped his head with a napkin she found on their table.

The old guy comes back from the backroom, carrying a few large towels for them.

"here's a few towels for you two to dry off on." Bernie then walks to the door and locks up the bakery since it was now closing time for him.

"I'll let you two say here for a little while." The Owner Bernie says with a groggy sounding voice, looking out of his window seeing the heavy rain poor down heavily and hearing the very loud thunder out there.

"thank you for the towels sir, I feel like a fish that jumped out of the pond." Ralph says with a small cough.
