WaffleLuvaa here! This story just came to my mind. Hope you like it!
Claire`s POV
It`s Spring and my brother Jack wanted me to stay at his house in Forget-Me-Not-Valley for the season. I`ve always loved animals so he figured I would like to help him on the farm. He was right. I loved the farm work more than I thought I would. Well.. Jack did always know me better than mom and dad.
I woke up, watered half of Jack`s enormous field of crops and took care of the chickens (it was Jack`s turn for the cows). After I got Lunch I saw Celia walk in.
"Hey Celia!" I called. I wasn`t sure if she was here for me or Jack. All the girls in the valley had a thing for my brother. Especially Celia.
"Hiya Claire! I was wondering if you wanted to come with me to see Lumina. She needed me to help her do her hair for her date with Rock."
"Sure, if it`s ok with Jack." I said loud enough so Jack could hear. I stared at him with pleading eyes. He could never say no to me :P
"Fine.. go ahead."
"Thanks Jack!" Me and Celia said in unision. Celia is definately me best friend.
We headed to the mansion. The mansion is elegant and beautiful and not even mention expensive. Man, was Lumina lucky to be rich or what? We walked in the mansion and I stared at their beautiful grand piano. When was the last time I`ve played? Well never mind that. I continuesly stared at the piano in a trance.
"Well I`ll be right back Claire." Celia said.
I nodded and continued to stare aimlessly at the piano. I slid my fingers gently across the keys, not making a sound. I then sat on the bench and set my fingers on the keys. I started stroking the keys, creating an epiphany of notes that fluidly strung together a tune. I took a deep breathe as I unintensionally started singing.
Gray`s POV
Damn old man. Making me travel all the way to fricken Forget-Me-Not Valley on my day off. I swear I`m going to kill that old bastard one day...
I was walking to Romana`s mansion to deliver her watering can that I had just upgraded for her when I heard something.
What was that?
That tune took away all the anger in my mind. I was more interested where that song came from other than smashing the old geezer`s face in. I followed it to the mansion. As I walked closer to the entrance, I could easily hear a small petite voice singing. The melody was beautiful and yet the voice sounded so sad. The voice was strong and confident but at the same time it sounds as though it could break any minute.
"Nagai kaidan nobori tsuzukete Tadori tsuita door nock shitano
Omoi tobiraga hiraite soshite Deaeru haze, datta...
Minna no egaoni
Doushite? Marude shiranai hito mitai Doushite? Tsumetai kotoba kizu tsukeru
Searching for myself Hajimete no kanjou hitomi kumorasete Searching for myself Ukagautoko shita dekinaku narisoou
Kono mama jya iya hayaku - Watashi wo sagashite" The girl sang.
I listened to the melody and the voice that I would never forget. Well until I remembered the delivery. I worked up the courage to open the door. When I opened it-
"Eeeek!" The blonde screeched. She then shot me a confused look which I had returned. "S-Sorry! I was just.. shocked... I didn`t know anyone else was coming over here and..." Her face turned bright red.
"Uh..." I was at a loss for words. Instead I stared into her sparkling eyes. They looked like bright aquamarine orbs. It was about a minute before I could actually speak. This beautiful girl was the one singing? "Um.. It`s fine..." I finally replied. "So, are you new here?" I asked.
"Um.. Kind of. I`m staying here for Spring at my brother... Jack`s house. I`m helping him with his farm. I`ve been here before but I don`t believe I`ve had the pleasure of meeting you." She said with a genuine smile. "I`m Claire,"
"Gray," I replied. I covered my face with my hat to cover my blush.
"Well Gray, I ought to see what`s taking Celia so long. I`ll see you later!" She gave another warm smile and was heading upstairs. I sighed in relief. Thank God, now I can actually think. That women drives me nuts for some reason. Now I only wish I could think of a bad reason... All I can think of is her silky blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, her small petite figure and not to mention her voice. That voice drove me nuts-in a good way-.
Admit you like her.
What!
I saaaid admit you like her
I heard you. Shut up! I barely know her!
Soo?
I BARELY KNOW HER SO SHUDDUP!
Nahh.. besides I won`t until you do
Now why in hell would I do that?
Because I`m you stupid.
Touchyyy...
Claire`s POV
How embarrassing! Someone just saw me playing the piano AND SINGING! Not just that but that "somebody" is hot! And I mean really, really, REALLY, hot! I nearly lost it. Thank God I came up with something to leave. I just couldn`t think straight with that man. I hope I will see him again before Spring ends...
