Spring Goddess Festival (two months ago)
I saw her today; again for the third time, she is so beautiful and kind. I think her friend and co-worker the doctor is in lve with her but she says she just sees him as a friend. We have grown to be friends, but my friendship with her is more than that, I love her.
Present day (2nd day of summer)
Jack had his work cut out, the Tomato harvest was booming, Zack was rushing back and forth with crates of Corn, Pumpkin, Pineapple and Onions, the money kept on rolling in. Meanwile in the clinic, Elli was going around her usal duties when Manna came in, she was carrying a a huge bouquet of Moondrop flowers.
"Afternoon Elli, Jack asked me to deliver these flowers to you, he's kinda busy with the harvest" Manna said handing over the flowers
"He did?" Elli blushed holding the flowers
"Heh Elli you like-like Jack don't you?" Manna smirked
Elli blushed even more "Well um...." she said blushing slightly more.
"You do!!" Manna smiled
Elli blushed even brighter "Urmm.....I.....Better get back to what I was doing!!" Elli said running upstairs
Elli walked up to a window and looked out towards Jack's farm in the distance. "Jack, I really DO like you" Elli blushed
"Wow! I got 7850 gold coins for all that harvesting" Jack panted wiping his forehead "I spent about five thousand buying that empty plot of land and a further four thousand asking Gotz to build a house on that plot, I hope Elli likes her present!" Jack continued as he washed up.
Jack was on his way out of the farm with a bouquet of Pink Cat Flowers when Jack's dog Koto came running up to him.
"Koto stay here and look after the chickens, I'm just going out for a wile" Jack said
Elli was doing some paperwork, the fragrance of the Moondrop flowers that Jack had sent her reminded her of him, she had kept a picture of Jack and herself at the Spring Goddess festival.
::Jack I really want to tell you how I feel about you:: Elli blushed
The door to the clinic chimed as Jack opend it, Elli looked up and blushed as she saw it was Jack.
"I see you got my flowers" Jack smiled
"They're lovley thank you" Elli smiled
"I bought you some more" Jack handed over the flowers "You're way more beautiful than these flowers" Jack smirked
Elli blushed "Thank you, I think I'm running out a vases to put your flowers Jack" she smiled
"Funny you should say that, I got a surprise for you, close your eyes and I'll lead you there" Jack said
"What is it?" Elli smiled
"Its a surprise" Jack laughed
Jack led Elli blindfolded across town to a empty lot opposite the Popuri's Chicken ranch, Elli knew she was near Popuris palce but was wandering what Jack surpise was for her.
"Ready?" Jack asked
"Yes" Elli smiled
Jack took off the blindfold; Elli looked and saw a building in the process of being built, Elli noticed a sign with her name on it.
"Whats this?" Elli asked
"Your surprise, I knew you like flowers and youv'e always talked about opening your own florists so I made your dream real" Jack smiled
"Oh Jack, thank you!!" Elii said hugging Jack, he blushed
"It's your dream Elli, live it" Jack said
::My dream is to be with you, Jack:: Elli thought
"I'd like to take you on a picnic tommorow to thank you for your fantastic present" Elli blushed
"S..sure" Jack stammered
"OK I'll be coming around your place about 11.00 tommorow, see you tommorow!" Elli kissed Jack on his cheek before hurrying off, Jack stood there shocked.
Jack got back to his farm and loaded some of the newly ripened tomatos into the shipping bin ready for Zack to collect the next day. Jack looked at his corn crop a few had produced some cobs, Jack thought it'll be a good idea to cook some for his picnic date with Elli the next day, Jack picked a few and walked into his house and went to bed. The next day, Jack sat by the window as the corn cobs were boiling away on the stove, he was thinking about that kiss that Elli gave him on his cheek yesterday, Jack walked out of the house and went to harvest the pineapples that just ripened. Elli just arrived at Aja winery to buy some grape juice for her picnic with Jack.
"Two bottles of grape juice, something special?" Manna asked
"Just going for a picnic" Elli replied
"Who with? Jack?" Manna smiled
Elli blushed and nodded
"You DO like him, why elese would he be building a shop for you?!" Manna smirked
"Well..um..." Elli blushed brighter
"No need to say anymore, here is the grape juice have a good time!" Manna laughed
Elli blushed as she walked out of Aja and towards Jack's farm. Zack arrived at Jack's farm earlier than usal to pick up the days harvest of Corn and Tomatos, she knew Jack since she was little when he came to visit is granpa's farm, he was the one that was sleeping under the tree near the springs, Elli wandered if Jack knew that she was the girl that talked to him all those years ago.
"Thats all for today Zack" Jack said
"Righto, I'll be back at the original time next week" Zack said walking off
"Morning Jack!" Elli smiled "Ready for our picnic?" she continued
"Sure, I've got some corn on the boil on the stove just gotta get them" Jack said running into the house
Jack got the corn, came out of the house and started to walk with Eli to the medow just below mothers peak, Koto tagged along also. As Elli layed out the picnic, Jack sat on a rock by the stream doing some fishing, he had already caught four large fish that Zack would pay him 800G for.
"Picnics ready!" Elli called out
Zack put down his fishing rod and walked towards Elli. They were eating some of Elli's Mayo sandwiches when Jack noticed that Elli had some mayonaise on her cheek.
"Huh, Elli you've got some mayo on your cheek" Jack said
"Oh!" Elli said wiping the wrong cheek
"No the other cheek" Jack said
Elli wiped the other cheek "Gone?" she asked
"No still there let me do it" Jack smiled
Jack leaned over to wipe it away, he didn't notice that that he placed his hand on a slice of cucumber, Jack slipped forwards and landed on Elli, thier faces nearly touched. Jack and Elli looked at each other blushing, Jack came closer to Elli and kissed her, Elli didn't resist and returned the kiss.
"Huh Jack?....I....I..." Elli blushed
"I love you" Jack said
"What did you say you love me Jack?" Elli blushed
"Yes" Jack blushed
Elli looked away and blushed "I love you too Jack" she smiled
"You've been on my mind since I came back to this town, I remember you whe I first met you when I was little wile I was visiting my granpa's farm, I thought you were an angel and I was right, you are as beautiful as an angel" Jack smiled
"You rememberd me" Elli smiled
"How can I forget such a beautiful face?" Jack said as he kissed Elli
They both slowly laid down still kissing as Koto sat looking at them.
