It's In the Stars
_
I remember saying thanks to Thomas for my farm even though I wanted to kill him, (top condition yeah right)... oh well I'll just have to make the best of it.
I've now been here 1 month as of tomorrow, and Griffin and Muffy are throwing me a little party for sticking it out and making the best of the farm.
"Great, now I won't be able to sleep cause I'm all excited, I guess I'll go for a walk to get my excitement out" I think to myself as I pace around my small farmhouse bed.
"Snuffles! Come here! We're going for a little walk together!" I call to my black fluff ball of a dog. "Wow the stars and the moon look so beautiful tonight," I think as I stare at the sparkling black sky. As I'm walking to the Goddess pond Snuffles stops causing me to jerk back as the leash catches in my hand and starts to growl, I instinctively know it's not his "lets play" growl but rather his "danger growl" and now I'm scared. I feel my pulse start to speed up and the hair on the back of my neck starts to stand on end. I hear footsteps behind me. I stop dead on the path to the Goddess pond.
"Haha very funny Rock!" my voice sounds weak and scared.
The footsteps approach closer and get louder, they do not sound like they are from someone small. Snuffles no longer frozen in place happens to find a squirrel that has emerged from the underbrush and chases it leaving me behind with this new mystery person,... or murderer.
"Thanks a lot snuffles!" I mutter under my breath as I brace myself on the path for what may very well be my last few precious moments on this earth.
I say a silent prayer to the Harvest Goddess that I'm sorry she isn't free yet. Suddenly I feel breathing down my neck, I must've been really focused in on my prayer to let whatever is behind me get so close. I scream and turn around punching someone or something in the stomach. "Oomph!" is all I hear and see my mystery person stumble to the ground. I look down to see who I just punched. My hand is throbbing a bit since what I hit wasn't very soft and I freeze, I'm staring into the most beautiful eyes in the world, they're a light aqua green and the moonlight creates an otherworldly sparkle to them. His face is so handsome, and he has gorgeous hair any girl would die for, it's light and silvery and
hangs in his face and eyes so perfectly in a way Rock could only dream about. I swear I'm standing there drooling.
"I-I-I " I'm at a loss for words, so I blurt out inaudible apologies.
"I'm so sorry! You scared me! Who are you?! Are you okay? I like your hair!"
( I like your hair... did I really just say that?!)
He stares at me not looking the least bit phased that I just connected my fist with his abdomen, and then chuckles and stands up. He's about a foot and a half taller than me which makes him all the more attractive. I feel my knees go shaky. He smooths out his satin leopard print shirt which on anyone else would've looked a little too disco nights meets sassy cat print, but he wore it so amazingly well.
"Well hello Beautiful, I didn't expect that kind of greeting, but all of your apologies are
accepted, What's a beautiful maiden like you doing out by yourself at night?" His charm drips off every word he utters. Any common sense left in me and I might have called back Snuffles and left, but something about him was a gorgeous mystery waiting to be solved, and I was intrigued.
"Well I was taking a walk in the beautiful moonlight when I was horribly startled by you, if you must know." I say throwing as much accusation and sarcasm into my response as possible.
He smirks at me and I feel like melting.
"Sorry, but what is your name beautiful maiden?" He asks gazing into my eyes.
"Umm Jill I reply." (I sound like a scared child...great…)
"Well Jill, It would be rude of me not to offer to walk you back to your house, so would you allow me the pleasure of doing so?"
(NO NO NO SAY NO) I internally yell at myself.
"Yes" I reply, I whistle and Snuffles comes back from wherever he went off to. He offers me
his arm and I take it against my better judgement. The Valley is an incredibly safe place so how bad can this be? While walking back we hear a coyote howl in the distance, I without even realizing what I am doing tighten my grip on his muscular arm. I hear him mumble something like "I'll protect you." Even though I've just met this man I feel like being right by his side is where I am supposed to be. I feel torn when we arrive at my house. The small talk that happened on the walk back was lacking in detail, but I've never met anyone like him.
"Well thank you very much Mr. ?" I pause as I untangle my arm from his, "Wait, I don't even know your name?"
He pauses, "Skye, call me Skye."
I allow myself a small smile "Well goodbye Skye,... wait...when will I see you again? I had fun tonight." I make myself say despite the fact that I could faint at any second due to his insane handsomeness.
"It's in the stars" He replies, and with that he kisses my forehead. I hadn't even realized we were that close. I feel like I am in the sky soaring through the clouds and skimming over the moonlit pond. I know I feel something for him but will I ever see him again? I barely know him! No change that I don't know him at all, yet I have a gut feeling we will meet again... after all it's in the stars.
Please review everyone thanks for being so supportive next chapter will be up as soon as possible :)
