Cinnamon and Spices Are so Much Fun
Chapter 1: Secrets Are Told
Akari POV
I can't believe I had to start a farm with my little sister Mai. Kevin completed the first rainbow which was wind. So now the boats can start sailing again. Kevin had reserved a two bed room for me and Mai until he can get the whole place organize for me to start a new far.
Mai and I aren't quite fans of farming but it's our family generation so I guess I had to do it. What are we interested in? Well we're into fashion, I wanted to go to the city and study about fashion but oh no I'm stuck farming with my older brother and little sister.
Mai is very outgoing, which is a good thing so then I don't have to do all the talking. I have short chocolate brown hair with light brown eyes. While Mai had long chocolate brown hair and hazel eyes.
Mai was leaning on the railing looking ahead she laughed as the seagulls flew above her and the dolphins were jumping out of the water. "Be careful Mai." I said.
"I know sis." Said Mai.
My mom wanted us to far so we decided to come here to get away from Sunshine Island where my parents, Chelsea and Mark farm. Pascal, the captain walk by. To greet us. "Hello ladies. My name is Pascal, the ship captain." He said. Mai came walking toward us.
"Hello, my name is Akari. And this is my little sister…" I said but Mai cut me off.
"Mai. My name is Mai, Akari little sister." She said.
"What brings you here to Waffle Island?" Asked Pascal.
"Farming, both of my parents made us do farming." I said.
"Ah, I see. When is your birthday?" Asked Pascal.
"Mines is on Spring 24th." I answered
"And mines is on Spring 15th." Answered Mai.
"Oh wow pretty close birthdays I see." Said Pascal.
"Yup!" I said. Mai giggled.
"May I ask you how old you are?" Ask Pascal.
'Gosh he's very nosy.' I thought.
"I'm 21." I said.
"And I'm 5." Said Mai.
"Oh now there a different." Said Pascal.
"Sissy. Is that the Island were going to?" Asked Mai. I looked at where she was pointing. Pascal too.
"Yes indeed. That's Waffle Island." Said Pascal.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"Yes yes indeed." Said Pascal.
"It looks way different from Sunshine Island." Said Mai.
"Yeah." I agreed.
When the boat stopped we carried our rucksacks and our suitcases. It was noon on the second day of Spring. Standing near the dock was a boy with amethyst coloured eyes and orange hair. He looked at me with no expression. Then he walked away. I blinked twice as he walked off. Mai pulled on my pant leg. He was heading to some kind of building. Just then the mayor showed up. "Hello! Welcome to Waffle Island. My name is mayor Hamilton. Mayor of this Island." He said.
"Hello, I'm Akari and this is my little sister Mai." I said as I bowed politely. Mai did the same.
"Hmm…I heard of those names before? Do you have any family members living here?" Asked Mayor Hamilton.
"We're Kevin's sisters." Said Mai.
"Ah yes, you're the one helping him at his farm right?" Asked Mayor Hamilton.
"Yes." I said.
"Well then your house isn't really built yet and I think Kevin reserve you guys a room for two at the Sundae Inn am I correct?" Asked Mayor Hamilton.
"Yes indeed." I said.
"Well okay then. Let me take you there. Kevin and Max are waiting for you there." Said Mayor Hamilton and started walking.
I took Mai's hand and followed him to the Inn. Once we got there. Mayor Hamilton left us alone as we both walked in. It looked like a restaurant more then the Inn. Then I saw them. Kevin and Max. Kevin walked by me and gave me a big bear hug. "Welcome little sis." He welcome me.
"Thanks bro." I said.
Kevin looked a lot like me but his eyes were almost a honey colour. He's only 23. Max was 7 who had the same eye colour as me. But his hair is just like Mai. I remember seeing that same boy from the dock. Everyone was silent. "Colleen, this is my little sisters Mai and Akari. Mai is only 5 and Akari is 21." Said Kevin.
"Oh wow 21. That's Chase's age." Said Colleen. "Anyways I'm Colleen, the innkeeper of the Inn. The one at the counter is Jake the Owner of the Inn. My daughter Maya is in the kitchen with the head chef Yolanda and the Chef Chase. Kathy also another waiter here during the bar and Hayden is the owner of the bar." Said Colleen.
"Hi, so your Akari. Kevin told us about you. Are you two relative?" Asked Maya.
"Yes. I'm Kevin's little sister." I said.
"Oh wow, so how old are you? How old is Kevin?" Asked Maya.
"I'm 21 and Kevin is 23." I answered. Maya was shocked.
"21? The same age as Chase. No fair! I feel like I'm the youngest here. I'm only 19." Said Maya. "When's your birthday?"
"the 24th of Spring." I answered. Maya was surprised again.
"That's the day after Chase's birthday." Said Colleen.
"Wow, that's really close." Said Maya.
I giggled then I heard some one else giggling too. I turned around and saw Chase, Max and Mai all playing around who were all running around as Chase tried to catch them. Once he caught them, Mai was on his left arm and Max was in the right arm. He carried them back to Akari and Kevin. Everyone was quiet as they stare at him. "What?" He asked.
"Nothing." They all giggled.
Jake took me and Mai to our room for the next couple of weeks. We quickly settle in and went downstairs. Kevin had decided to give us a quick tour around the Island. I got a few stuff from everyone. Most of them are books from everyone but Owen gave me a hammer, Luke gave me an axe, Toby gave me a fishing rod and Cain gave me a sickle.
Then I went to Kevin's house up in the Seaside. I was amaze by the view of the ocean. "Wow Kevin, it's beautiful." I said.
"Thanks Sis. I really want to have a happy life the person I love. But I doubt she loves me back." Said Kevin.
"Ooh who do you like?" I asked.
"Maya. But it seems like she likes Chase." Said Kevin.
"Hmm…maybe I can ask her." I said.
"Akari no, if she figures out she'll get mad." Said Kevin.
"I guess your right." I said.
Several Hours later I took Mai hand and took her out of Kevin's house and headed toward the Inn. Everyone was still there. She came up to me. "Where Kevin?" She asked.
"At home." I answer. Maya's face went down.
"Oh okay I though he'll come with you but I guess I was wrong." She said. "hey you want to come to the Tailor Shop with me tomorrow?"
"Sure. I want to get some new fashion there anyways." I said.
Just then I saw Chase staring straight at me. Then I remember what I was going to say. Even though Maya will get mad it's only for Kevin's life. "Hey Maya. Who do you like here in Waffle Island?" I asked. Maya faced turned red as she looked at me.
"Um…it's a secret. I only tell one of my best friends." She said.
"Okay then. I'm going to order a cocktail. You want some?" I asked.
"Sure." She said.
I smiled as I quickly went to go order them. Maya stared at me for quite a long time. 'Is she really my Best friend. I only know her for 6 hours now. But she's Kevin sister. Kevin, the guy I really like upon.' She thought. Just then I came back with the cocktails. "Here." I said handing her one.
"Thanks, um Akari…." Said Maya.
"Yeah." I said.
"Um…you've been my best friend for 6 hours now….." Said Maya.
"Yeah so?" I asked.
"So, I guess it'll be alright to tell you who I like. But in one condition." Said Maya.
"What?" I said.
"If you tell me who you like since the past 6 hours you've had here. You had a full tour around the island met pretty good looking guys. So who do you pick between all of them?" Asked Maya.
I thought a little bit. Julius and I both have the same interest but I consider him as a friend. Luke is more of a construction freak so no. Owen is strong but he isn't my type and he's into blacksmithing. Not Toby since he's a fish freak and I hate fish. Gill is way to nerdy. And Jin thinks he knows everything about Medicine and is always worrying about my health. Then I heard some giggling. I turned and saw Mai playing around with Chase inside the kitchen. I smiled. Seeing Mai happy makes me feel happy. I knew Chase is Maya older brother so it should be safe. "Fine." I said and leaned closer to Maya who also lean in closer. "I like Chase." Maya was shock.
"For 6 hours? And you pick my older brother?!" Said Maya.
"Yeah. Why? What's wrong with him?" I asked.
"He's always mean to me. Even though he likes little kids he doesn't seem to like me as a sister. He plays with Dakota and Mai but that's it." Said Maya."Anyways. Who do you like?" I whispered.
"I like Kevin." Said Maya.
"Really oh your so lucky. He's awesome. He's an awesome cook. He used to be the chef at one of the most famous restaurant at my hometown ever. He was remember as one of the best chef before he left to come here." I said.
"Oh really." Said Maya.
"Yup." I said.
We started to talk about our favourite things to do. Food. And Colour. I told her what Kevin likes and what Kevin loves get on his birthdays. And Maya said the same things about Chase. When it was midnight. Chase was cleaning everything up before he left. He looked at me with a smile on his face. "I'll see you again tomorrow." He said.
"Yeah." I said. Chase gave me a wink before exiting the Inn.
I blushed as Maya just giggled. Then we quickly head upstairs where are rooms are. When I got there Mai was inside there. She smiled once I got to her. "Sis, Can Chase teach me how to cook?" She asked.
"Sure." I said.
"Thanks sis." Said Mai.
The next day I woke up bright an early. At 6am. I walked out and into the lobby where Maya and her parents were at. But there was no Chase. Maya figured out my expression. "Chase doesn't come here so early in the morning. He doesn't even wake up till 8am. But he never shows up till 2pm. Lazy bum." Said Maya but she mumbled the last part. Colleen and Jake both heard it.
"Maya don't say mean things about your brother. He always up at the Town Square Area to pay a little visit to the Town Hall every single day." Said Colleen.
"He should be here with us like a family." Said Maya. Then I got a wonderful idea.
"Come on Maya." I said and grabbed her arm. I looked at her parents. "Please excuse us. We need to have a little talk." I said sweetly.
"Oh no go ahead I bet it's important." Said Colleen.
I took Maya to my room, lock the door and went into my bags to find a book. Maya looked at me strangely. "What are you looking for?" She asked.
"The book about boys." I said.
"Why?" Asked Maya.
"It has awesome advices." I said.
Once I found the book I showed it to Maya as she quickly read. "Wow, there are cool advices in this book." Said Maya.
"Told you." I said.
When it was 9am, the time when the Inn opens we went outside for a little walk. Chase was just about to hit the stairs when he remember about Mai. He got off the stairs and walked toward me. "Hey Akari is Mai still inside?" He asked.
"Yeah she hanging out with Dakota inside." I said.
"Okay thanks." Said Chase. He winked at me as he walked past me.
I blush 6 shades of red as Maya just laughed at me. We headed to the Tailor Shop to hang out with Luna and Candace who are also our BFF with Selena, Kathy and Renee. Surprisingly Luna's grandmother Shelly told us she was at the Town Hall. Candace told us she would come along to. So we all walked down giggling and gossiping. When we walked into the Town Hall we saw Luna up on the stair case. Sighing as she looked romantically at Gill was working hard to not even notice she was there. Candace and Luna both had one thing in common and that was that they're too shy to talk to the guy they like. Luna told me straight away that she had a major crush on Gill and Candace told me quietly that she had a crush on Julius. I knew Kathy loves Owen because Kathy told me. And Selena…well surprisingly she likes Luke. I told them both and then they all laugh. I grabbed Luna's arm as she jumped a little bit. She was about to scream but I carefully cover her mouth. As I quickly drag her upstairs. I took my mouth out. Luna let out a loud scream. Everyone covered her ears as I quickly cover her mouth again. "What's going on there?" I heard Gill's voice shouted.
"Shoot were busted." I mouthed to everyone.
"What are we going to do?" Maya mouthed back.
"I don't know?" I mouthed.
"Well do something before Gill gets up here and thinks were kidnapping Luna." Mouthed Candace.
"What's going on up there?" Gill said again as he started to come up.
Candace and Maya ran toward me. "Were going to be busted unless you find a smart idea." Said Maya.
"I got an idea. Everyone grabbed from the book shelves and go sit down and pretend to read it or go pretend to look for a interesting book." I said. Everyone did what they did. "If you say something or scream then we're leaving this place." I hissed into Luna's ear. Luna just nodded and shut up. I let her go as she did what I was planning to do. I grabbed a book about the history of Waffle Island and sat the nearest table I found and pretend to read it. Gill came up and heard everything was silent. He saw me reading as he came up to me. "Hey Akari." He said. I jumped in surprised. I turned around and saw Gill.
"Oh hi. Gosh you scared me." I said.
"Oh oops sorry about that so what are you reading." Asked Gill.
"Oh um the History about Waffle Island. I thought this book might be interesting to read. Since I'm new and I want to learn so much about this Island." I said.
"Oh well forget the book. This town is seriously turning into a Ghost Town." Said Gill
"Oh really. Maybe we can help save the island." I suggest. That made Gill smile. 'uh oh bad thing to say.' I thought. Luna let out a angrily growl.
Once Gill left I covered Luna's mouth and exit the place. Gill looked at us with no expression on his face. Luna's face went pale. But I never let her go until I brought her into the Inn. Once we reached the Inn I remember Chase was inside with Mai. I didn't want them to think I was being mean. I stepped back a little bit. Candace then remember about my crush on Chase. Maya did too but she doesn't want to do it since she might get in trouble. So luckily I brought a handkerchief and wrapped it around Luna's mouth. Luna's face was back to normal once I took my hand off of her mouth. Candace pulled on Luna as I told them to take her to my room. Once I order her favourite dish. Pumpkin pie. I watched as Chase started at them with no expression on his face as Maya and Candace dragged Luna up the stairs. Colleen and Jake didn't even pay attention to them. I quickly fixed my hair and went in. I walked toward Chase. Chase raised one of his eyebrow. "What was that about?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Candace and Maya were dragging Luna up the stairs." Said Chase.
"Oh yes. Luna was spying on Gill so we had to drag her upstairs. But then she was making so much noise. So we dragged her here instead." I said.
"Oh well….I know she'll get mad easily so how about I'll make her something. Like her favourite pumpkin pie that was in the fridge for her to eat." He winked as he went into the fridge to get it. I giggled a little as he came back up. He gave it to me. When I grabbed the fork out of his hands our fingers brushed which made both of us blush 6 shades of red.
"Thanks." I said.
"No problem." He said as he winked at me before he could come back to Mai.
I smiled all the way back up to my room. Luna was screaming until I brought her pumpkin pie to her then she quiet down a little. I quickly scanned through my bag. I found the book I showed to Maya and gave it to Luna to scan through. She looked pretty amazed. "Wow, Akari this is an awesome book. Where did you get this?" She asked.
"At the bookstore at my hometown." I answered.
"Wow that's so amazing." Said Luna. She looked up at her sister, Candace who looked confused. "This book as amazing advices on how to impress your love to someone you really love." She added.
"Give me that." Said Candace as she snatch the book out of her sister's hands and scanned through it. Candace looked really happy.
"Wow this book is awesome! Thank you for showing us the book." She said.
"I hope I helped you guys out a lot." I said.
"Yes you did." They all said.
The weeks flew by pretty fast. My house was ready built. I decided to put it in the Town Plot so I'm pretty close to Town. Mai didn't learn that much dishes from Chase. Since he has to do testing on one dish they learn a week. I did part time jobs at the Inn during my free time. But now were free. I was packing up my little room with Mai helping me. Once we got everything packed we went downstairs. I nodded at Colleen and Jake that the room was all neat and tidy. "It was nice to have some company for once." Said Colleen.
"Thank you for having us here." I said and looked down at Mai. "What do you say to Colleen and Jake?" I asked her. Mai look at me and then to Colleen and Jake.
"Thank you for having us." Said Mai.
"Your welcome come back and visit us soon." Said Jake. Colleen just nodded.
"Yeah we will." I said. I looked at Maya who busted into tears.
"Oh Akari. The days flew by so fast. Well…have fun starting your new ranch." She said.
"I will and thank you for everything. It was nice hanging out with you and the others." I said.
"Your welcome. Will come back again?" Asked Maya.
"Of course everyday starting at 9am. Since…." I said and suddenly stopped.
"What?" Asked Maya. I came in a bit closer to her to whisper something in her ear.
"Since I'll be here everyday from 9am. I get to see Chase here every single day since he teaching Mai how to cook." I whispered. Maya giggled.
"Yup! And since Mai learning how to cook from Chase he'll be here all day now." Maya whispered.
I said goodbye to everyone as me and Mai took off to our new home. Our new ranch was huge and was ready for us to begin. A level 5 house with furniture already in there. The barn was filled with animals. The Chicken Coop had lot's of chickens and ducks in it but no silkworms. There was a seed shed which with boxes of different seeds. I turned to Kevin who just smiled. "Kevin, you didn't had to spoiled your own sister." I said.
"But I wanted to." Said Kevin.
After long silent I thank him and went inside the house. The whole room was beautiful. I was guessing this is the living room since I don't see a single bed there. The kitchen was really big! I went upstairs, there a separate room which was the bathroom. And the rest were just beds and closets. Just then I heard the doorbell ring. Mai went to go answer it. Then I heard her calling my name. "Akari door for you." She shouted. I ran downstairs where Mai was. Chase was also there.
"Hey Chase." I said.
"Hi Akari. Nice house." Said Chase.
"Thanks." I said.
"Oh these are for you. Just a house warming gift." Said Chase as he gave me a bouquet of flowers. I smiled.
"Thanks Chase. They're beautiful! They'll look fantastic in my new kitchen. You want to come see our new kitchen?" I asked.
"Sure." Said Chase as he followed me into the kitchen.
When we got to the kitchen he looked way surprised. He never saw a kitchen this big before. "Wow, this is an awesome kitchen." Said Chase.
"Why thank you." I said.
"No problem." Said Chase.
