New Family

After walking for hours, James sought for shelter as he had grown weaker.

He then decided to rest in a shaded area near a blue house for a few hours.

"Young man, wake up!." A deep shaky voice commanded.

James woke up almost immediately in fear. He looked up at the dark skinned man and woman who were standing in front of him.

"Come inside, come" the lady said with a shaky yet soft voice.

He wasn't sure if he should follow, he might be killed, but then he was too hungry and tired to argue, he just followed.

He came in, and wow, he couldn't believe his eyes. The house looked so warm and felt good to be in.

"Sit,don't be scared." The man with the deep shaky voice said gently.

James still quite scared, sat down on the sofa.

He relaxed even more, he had never been so comfortable.

"Oh dear, I made you a nice meal with a nice cup of tea. I am Mrs. Brown by the way and that's my husband Mr. Brown." The woman with the shaky yet soft voice said to James while holding a tray containing his food.

"Thank you Mr and Mrs Brown" James said and took the tray from her, he began eating the pancakes and it was obvious that he was indeed very hungry.

They watched him eat, as they had never seen anything like that.

James finished his food and noticed the eyes on him.

He cleared his throat.

"So... Young man are you ok, did you loose your way, what happened and you don't seem to remove those shades?" Mr. Brown asked James, he had become very curious.

"Oh I hurt my eyes and I...I have no parents, they...they died when I was six. Since then I've been on...on my own, d...doing the little I can, I am sorry, I decided to rest in your shop." James said with his tongue in between his teeth.

"Oh poor boy, it's ok, it's fine." Mrs. Brown said to James with a warm smile.

"So you're saying you have no where to go and no where to stay?" Mr. Brown asked.

"Well, for now sir." James said while playing with his fingers.

"Ok no problem, you can stay with us." Mr Brown said and smiled.

"Thank you so much sir, I'm very grateful." James said and shook Mr. Brown's hand.

"No problem my child, you are very welcome into this family." Mrs. Brown said and went over to hug him.

"Ok, my daughter Marissa will show you to the guest room. Marissa dear, Marissa!!" Mr. Brown said and called out for his daughter.

"I'm coming Dad" A sweet little voice answered from inside a room.

A brown skinned girl rushed in,she had hazel brown eyes, her upper lip was dark and her bottom lip was pink.

"Darling, would you mind showing this young man, James, to his room." Mr. Brown said to the brown skinned beauty, Marissa.

"Ok dad, Hy James I'm Marrisa." Marrisa says and waves to James.

"Wowwwwwww, breathtaking." James whispers under breath.

"I'm,... I, I mean, I am..." James stutters

"James, your name is James."She says and grabs his arm, right where he had hurt himself and pulls him.

"Let's go James" Marissa takes him to his room.
