Chapter 2
Vaughn's P.O.V.
"Vaughn, this is Chelsea. Chelsea, Vaughn."
I glared down at the small figure. She was wearing a red bandana around her brown hair and her blue eyes looked fearfully up into my purple ones. I was probably scaring the shit out of her but I didn't care. If she thought she could just come in here and demand I be friends with her like the rest of this island, she had another thing coming.
"Vaughn, cop on glaring at her! You'll give her nightmares!" Julia giggled from behind.
"No, it's okay. I told you that I didn't want to barge in on anyone, Julia!" Chelsea suddenly said. Her voice wasn't as quiet as I thought it would be. It wasn't as loud as Julia's, thank the goddess.
"Ah sure, he doesn't mind." Julia decided it would be wise to say.
" 'He' can talk for himself, Julia." I snapped at her. I hate people acting as though I'm an inamimate object.
"Oh! He talks!" Julia put her hand to her forehead in fake shock.
"Now, now you two. Don't start." Mirabelle cut in.
I sighed and shook my head at my cousins stupidity.
"Anyway, Vaughn," Mirabelle continued. "Chelsea has to stay here for a few days until her house is built."
"Wha-?B-but-"
"No buts, Vaughn!"
Great. One Julia is bad enough. I'll never get any work done with two girls around.
"Hey, Vaughn!" Julia piped in... again.
"What?"
"Since your not busy, you should show Chelsea around the island!"
"What?! I-I am busy..."
"Yeah and I'm the Harvest Goddess! Go on! Unless your to chicken to be with a girl on your own..."
"Wha..!?"
I could feel my cheeks burning. I turned to see Chelsea in a similar state.
"Ha ha! Vaughnie's scared! Vaughnie's scared!"
"Shut up! Fine! I don't want to though!" I added the last part to save some of my image. I don't think it worked...
"Come on..." I muttered to Chelsea, walking briskly out of the shop. Chelsea had to jog to keep up with me.
"Have fun you two!" Julia giggled out after us. That bitch. I had to think up of a prank to play on her later.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Outside of the diner Chelsea, who had been silent for most of the tour, finally regained her composure
"I'm really sorry, by the way."
I looked at her confused.
"What? For what?"
"For barging into the house like that. I knew I was going to make someone uncomfortable."
"Oh..." How was I going to explain to her I'm always like that.
The silence that came afterwards annoyed me for some reason.
"Where ya from?" I suddenly said surprising her and myself. I usually don't care about that kinda shit.
"Oh, um.. the city..."
"Why d'ya move?" Why am I asking her this?
"I..um..uh..I d-don't really.. I-I m-mean...um"
"Oh. Sorry for prying."
"No need to apologize. I just haven't even told Julia yet..."
"Hi Vaughnie!" Oh goddess no. I really don't need this now...
I turned to see Lanna running up to us.
"Don't call me that" I snapped at her.
"Heehee! Is this your new girlfriend?"
"Wha-what!?" I could feel my cheeks burning. I'd hate to see just how red I was.
"Heehee! Just teasing! Your so cute when you blush!"
"Ggaahh" I hate this woman. How does Denny like her?
"Anyhoo, I'm Lanna! Nice to meet you!" Lanna said turning her attention to Chelsea.
"Hi Lanna. I'm Chelsea!"
"Cool name! I think you and I will be great friends!"
"I hope so too!"
I don't. I don't need another girl around while she staying at the house.
"All I can say to you, Chelsea, is that you must be pretty special to be able to make Vaughnie blush like that! Heehee!"
Another shade of red was added to my cheeks. I grabbed Chelsea's wrist.
"Lovely seeing you Lanna. Bye."I said walking in the opposite direction to Lanna, pulling Chelsea behind me.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
We approached the old, abandoned farm.
"Whew. I think we're safe..." I gasped.
"Um...Vaughn..?" I heard Chelsea whisper.
"What?"
"You can let go of my hand now..."
I looked down and realised I wasn't holding her wrist anymore. My hand had slipped down and was holding her small one. I felt my cheeks burning... again.
"O-oh. S-sorry..."
"Tis fine." Chelsea said, her cheeks red too.
I slid down underneath a tree and pulled my hat over my head, panting for air from that run from Lanna.
Chelsea started looking around. "Is this the farm?"
I nodded, looking at the dump.
"It has great potential." She said out of the blue.
"Why do you care?"
She blushed. "I'm the new farmer."
"You?!" She looked hurt. Guess that came out a little harsher than I meant.
"I know I'm not perfect but it was the only job that I could find that would get me awa-."
She stopped in the middle of her sentence. "I didn't mean to say that much... I never give away secrets... What's wrong with me!" She started talking to herself.
"Ahem" I cleared my throat to make sure she realised I was still there.
"Oh! S-sorry Vaughn. I'm just not really used to having people to talk to...Oops."
I looked at her confused.
"If you need to talk to anyone, you can come to me" What?! What did I just say to her?! I don't talk to people, forget listen to them!
She smiled softly. "Thanks, Vaughn... That means a lot..."
I couldn't help staring at her smile. It was the first time I had seen it. I pulled my hat down to hide my blush.
"W-we should head back. Dinner should be ready."
She smiled again. "Okay!"
Well? Is it to long? I had so much fun with this chapter! Anyways, I'll probably update this tomorrow as well. Please review! :)
