Chapter 7: Starry Nights
Jane had just put the flowers; Gray had given her, in a Vase with water. She smiled, this was her favorite type of flower, and it bloomed only on summer nights. Gray probably spent a lot on it. He sat there, looking around and blushed when his eyes met Jane's.
She boiled some water and made two cups of hot chocolate. She handed one to Gray and he took it with thankful eyes. She took the seat across from him. He asked something very important although she didn't know what to say, but luckily he had to leave for work. She waved goodbye as he walked away.
-----------------------------------------
She headed over to Joe and Kurt's house, well because she had in fact become best friends with Kurt. They both felt like they understood each other. In fact she was helping him trying to get the courage up too ask Mary to dine with him.
"Good morning!" Jane said cheerfully.
"Hello." Kurt said
"Did you ask?" She began
"Nope, did you ask?" he asked
"The guys are supposed to ask, Silly." Jane answered.
"Ah, but you're suppose to propose!" Kurt said
"I think I'm the only exception." Jane said
"Yes, because aren't you the world." Kurt said laughing.
"Stop that. It's not funny. He asked me…" Jane said
"Ahh, so I see. You've flipped flopped again." He said
You see being Jane's friend and all means you have to deal with her constant drama, Ann use to deal with it, but she's been very caught up with Carl. She doesn't have the time. Poor Poor Carl, And Poor Kurt.
"Maybe they won't ask…." She said
"Why wouldn't they?" Kurt said patting her "Let's go I have to pick up some wine for tonight. I and Joe are going to celebrate."
----------------------------------------
(1)"Four bottles please." Kurt said
"1200 G please." Manna said "Thank you come again!"
It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for stargazing. They were headed to Jane's farm, until Cliff shouted her name.
"Hi Cliff." Jane and Kurt said.
"Hey." Cliff said. He gave Kurt a "According to the "Guy's code, please leave so I can ask her out." Look.
Kurt acknowledged it and headed towards the library.
"Jane… Do you have anyone who you're watching the stars with tonight?" Cliff asked hoping she would say no.
"Oh Cliff, Not entirely. Well, I did get asked, but I haven't answered, yet." Jane said
Cliff knew who she meant. But he wasn't about to give up yet.
"Well, you should listen to your heart." Cliff said "If that's of any help."
"Thanks!" she said running away, but before she gave him a great big hug. He felt like he could almost float away.
----------------------------------
It was around 5 P.M. Gray hasn't gotten his answer, so he decided to head too the inn. He probably thought she decided to spend time with those two new guys.
"She didn't answer did she?" Cliff asked
"Yeah." Gray said taking his hat off. He had dark orange hair in a very cute cut. He pulled out a clean white shirt and a pair of shorts
"You know, I think maybe that…" Cliff started to say.
"Hello!" Jane had just walked through the door.
"Jane…" Gray said and Cliff said.
"Gray about…your invitation….I accept." Jane said.
Those words crushed Cliff's heart, but he still stood there.
Gray stood there completely shocked, but smiled and started to put his coat on. They both walked out the door together smiling and holding hands until Gray stopped.
"Cliff, will you join us?" Gray asked.
"Really? Why not." Cliff said putting his coat on.
-----------------------------------------
Cliff began to think of it as something awkward, but it wasn't like that at all. They ate to there heart's content and played a very fun board game until 12:00 P.M. Cliff and Gray decided it was time to go home. And said there goodbyes. She both gave them a small kiss and Gray handed her a small box with a ring inside. She blushed and whispered thank-you in his ear.

(1) Kurt's a drinker just like Karen!
Sneak Peek: Spring has arrived and Jane's as busy as ever. She barely visits; they begin to think she is wooing someone new. What will happen next? Until Next Time!
Jane's Diary (Something New I'm adding!)
Dear Diary,
Today was the day, I had the most wonderful night I wonder why Gray invited Cliff. Plus the ring Gray gave me is really pretty. I still think about Kai from time to time. But always look ahead not behind.
Love Jane.
