I met someone I wish I didn’t.

This is the first post I’m making on here and it’s not exactly a scary story but I was thinking about this experience and I wanted to get it out. I’ve always thought of myself as a fairly good judge of character and I was a very active listener in my life. I was 19 at the time and working in a retail store. I met this lady and I will never forget it. She was 60’s and came in the store to look at the new shipment that came in that day. She had long grey hair and she looked a bit rough and had a bit of an attitude. I thought to myself, this lady seems rough and I don’t like her at first glance.<br><br>As I was listening to her talk I noticed she had a slight British accent. I didn’t really think much of it. As the day went on I noticed she was wearing some really expensive jewelry, and it was all old stuff. She was wearing a large gold watch, a gold chain necklace, and she was wearing a diamond ring on her finger that I thought was a really nice ring. She mentioned to me that she got it from her ex husband. I mentioned that she had a really nice ring on her hand and she said it was a family heirloom. I asked her about it and she told me it was given to her by her deceased husband. I asked her if she minded if I took her ring and she said yes, I would kill you if you tried to take it from me.<br><br>I was taken aback by her comment, but she was also being very nice and kind to me and I just brushed it off. I told her she had a nice ring and she told me I could hold it but I couldn’t take it. I said of course and she told me that the ring was her late husband’s mother’s ring and it was really important to her. I told her I understood and she thanked me for understanding. As the day went on I got to know her better and she seemed like a nice person. She seemed kind, but she was also very rough. She was kind of rough looking but she had a very beautiful inside.<br><br>She told me she lived in the UK and she was born in the UK and she moved to Canada a few years ago to be closer to her family. I asked her if she minded me asking about her past and she said she didn’t mind. She told me that she was born in London and she grew up in a very rough area of London. She said she was a teenager in the 60’s and she got married at 18 to her first husband. He was also from a very rough area of London. She told me he was very abusive to her and that she was trapped in the marriage. She said that she got divorced from him and she moved to the countryside to start a new life. She said that she met her second husband in the countryside and they were married for 30 years. She said that she was married to him for over 40 years of her life. She said she got divorced from him and she moved to Canada to be closer to her family. She said that she had two sisters that lived in Canada and she wanted to be closer to them. She said she got here a few years ago and she was glad that she did.<br><br>She asked me if I would like to go for a walk with her. I asked her what kind of walk and she said a walk to the lake. She told me that she loved walking and she loved the lake and I told her that I would love to walk with her. We walked together and she was telling me stories about her past. I was listening to her and I thought to myself, this lady seems nice. I’m glad that I gave her a chance and I was happy that she was feeling good. As we were walking we got to the lake and we were looking at the beautiful view. She asked me if I would like to have dinner with her. I asked her where we could go and she said we could go to a restaurant near the lake. I said that would be nice and we went to the restaurant.<br><br>We had dinner together and she was talking about her life and I was listening to her. She seemed like a nice lady and I was glad I gave her a chance. As we finished our meal I asked her if she would like to walk some more and she said that would be nice. I asked her if she wanted to walk to a park near the restaurant and she said she would love to. We walked together to the park and she seemed happy. I asked her if she would like to sit on a bench and she said she would love to. We sat on a bench and she was looking around and she told me that she loved this park. I asked her why and she said she liked the view. I asked her what she liked about the view and she said she liked the way the flowers looked.<br><br>I asked her if she wanted to take a picture and she said she would love to. I asked her if she wanted me to take a picture of her and she said that would be nice. I asked her if she wanted to smile for me and she said she would love to. I took the picture and I asked her if she would like to have a picture of me. She said she would love to and I asked her if she wanted me to take a picture of me and she said that would be nice. I said that I would love to and we both took pictures of each other. I asked her if she wanted to go back to her place and she said she would love to.<br><br>I asked her if I could drive her home and she said that would be nice. She told me she lived on the other side of the city and I told her I didn’t mind. We got in my car and she seemed happy. As I was driving her home I was listening to her and she was talking about her life. I was glad that I was spending time with her and I was glad that she was feeling good. I asked her if she wanted to stop anywhere and she said no, I would love to go home. I told her that was okay and I asked her if she wanted to tell me a secret. She said she would love to and she told me that she had been living in fear for a few years. She said that she had been receiving threatening messages and she was afraid that something was going to happen to her.<br><br>I asked her if she wanted to tell me what was going on and she said she didn’t want to. I told her it was okay and I asked her if she wanted me to help her. She said she didn’t want to and I told her it was okay. I asked her if she wanted to tell me what was going on and she said she didn’t want to. I told her it was okay and she told me that she didn’t want to involve anyone else. I said that was okay and we drove the rest of the way to her house. As we were driving she seemed nervous and I asked her if she was okay. She said she was just worried about something. I told her it was okay and we drove the rest of the way.<br><br>We arrived at her house and I asked her if she wanted me to come inside. She said she didn’t want me to and I said that was okay. I asked her if I could give her a hug and she said she would love to. I hugged her and she seemed happy. I asked her if she wanted me to come back tomorrow and she said she would love to. I told her that I would and I asked her if she wanted to meet somewhere. She said she didn’t want to and I said that was okay. I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk and she said she would love to. I said that was okay and I asked her if I could call her. She said she didn’t want to be called. I said that was okay and I told her I would see her tomorrow.<br><br>I drove away and I thought about what she had told me. She told me she was receiving threatening messages and she was afraid that something was going to happen to her. She said that she didn’t want to involve anyone else. I thought to myself that I would just have to wait and see what happens tomorrow.<br><br>The next day I met her again and I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk. She said she would love to and I asked her if she wanted to go somewhere different. She said she didn’t want to and I said that was okay. I asked her if she wanted to walk to a park and she said she would love to. I asked her if she wanted to sit on a bench and she said she would love to. We sat on a bench and I asked her if she wanted to talk about something. She said she didn’t want to and I said that was okay.<br><br>I asked her if she wanted me to talk and she said she would love to. I said that was okay and I told her I wanted to talk to her. I asked her if she wanted to hear me out and she said she would love to. I said that was okay and I told her I wanted to protect her. I said that I wanted to make sure she was okay and I wanted to make sure she was safe. I said that I wanted to help her and I wanted to protect her from anything that might happen. I told her I wanted to be there for her and I wanted to make sure she was okay. I said that I wanted to be a good friend to her and I wanted to make sure she was happy.
