I wiped my sweat from my forehead after watering the crops. I probably could harvest the turnips tomorrow. I already harvested the potatoes and I didn't plant anything else since the day after tomorrow is summer. I'm planning to buy the summer crop's seeds tomorrow so I could plant them on the very first day of summer. Today is Tuesday, and though I usually avoid the Animal's Shop, I needed to go there because I needed to restock the fodder. I sighed because the thought of spending time at the shop when a rude cowboy around is something that I don't want to deal with. But nevertheless, between a starving cow or me facing him, the latter sound better. Not good but better.
I put my watering can next to the house; I usually take it in later at night when I'm ready to end my day. When I'm sure that I'm done with my chores I walked down to the Verdure Island, and walked slowly to the Animal's Shop. As I walked, I passed Taro's house and I saw he was standing right in front of it. I have learned that Taro's a weird old man that somehow could guess the next day weather. "Good afternoon, Missy! My wrinkles knee told me that tomorrow would be sunny." He said. I nodded and keep walking to the shop. I stood in front of the door for a while, bracing myself to face him. You can do it, Chels, just ignore him! I said to myself than opened the door.
The bell ring when I opened the door and that caught Mirabelle's attention that was standing behind the counter. "Good afternoon, Chelsea! It's nice to see you." She said politely. I smiled at Mirabelle and walked towards her. I looked around the shop cautiously but I didn't see the glimpse of the cowboy. I sighed with relief before smiling again at Mirabelle. "I want to buy fodder, please." I said to Mirabelle. She beamed at me, she was glad that I made enough money to buy at least a weekly food for the calf. "How much do you need? The same amount as usual?" she asked. I nodded and she went back to the stock room where she put her fodder. I leaned at the counter as I waited for Mirabelle, and the sound of heavy footsteps behind me, made me turned. And there he is the rude cowboy I've been avoiding for weeks.
He looked at me as if he never saw me before but than he said, "Oh, you." And after that he went to the kitchen. I frowned but didn't follow him because I don't want to have anything to do with him when it's not necessary. Mirabelle came out from the stock room than, putting the heaving package of fodder on the counter. "Vaughn! I'm glad you here. Can you bring this fodder to Elena's farm, please?" Mirabelle said when she spotted Vaughn at the kitchen.
"No.. it's okay, Mirabelle. I could come back twice for it." I said hastily.
"Don't ridiculous, child. You should take advantages man power when it's around." She scolded me gently.
"B-but…" I bite my lower lips before I say something offending.
Mirabelle waited expectantly for Vaughn, and at first I thought the cowboy would reject the idea of helping me. However, he walked to the counter and took two of the packages. I looked at him than at the packages now safely in tact under his arms. And he raises his eyebrow as if questioning when I wanted to go. I pay the fodder than took the last fodder package and opened the door. I walked hastily to the farmland. Once we're there, I told Vaughn to put the fodder at the food dispenser. He done so without much of words, and then he looked at me carefully as I put there as well.
I fidgeted a few moments before looking at him, "What?" I asked expectantly.
Surprisingly, this time he answered my question with words rather than with action. "The cow seems survive in your care." He said bluntly.
What did he meant by that? Does that mean he thought that the cow would die after a week in my care? How rude of him to think such a thing, I thought darkly. I glared at him and snapped, "For your information oh-mister-rude-cowboy, I grew up in a farm, and I have chores helping my dad, so I know what I'm doing!"
He seems to be surprised with my outburst, but I surprise myself. I rarely lost my temper since to be honest I always felt shy even talking to someone. But he seems to bring out her inner power or just the worst of me. He looked at me under the hooded eyes, a very unusual color I notice not for once. He hid the amethyst color eyes with his hat, and he turned around and walked out from the barn. He didn't even make any comeback rude mark to me. I just hope that he stay away from me after this, though he was quite attractive, I still couldn't handle his present, because I just couldn't stand his rudeness.
I was inside my farmhouse, still fuming about the rude remarked Vaughn sent at me this afternoon when there's a knock at the door. I opened it to find an ecstatic Julia, "Hello, Julia." I said politely.
"Come, Chels. You need to come at the shop right now!" Julia said practically took my hand and dragged me out of my house. I'm just glad I managed to close the door in the process. I wanted to ask why she's so ecstatic but she seems to be way far in her own mind that I just waited until I arrived at the shop to find out what's this all about. When I came in to the shop, I almost groaned when I saw that Vaughn still around. I thought he would already at the dock, waiting for the ship and leave for the city. But no my luck had been bad when it came to this man.
"What's wrong, Julia? Can this wait till morning?" I said to Julia.
"Well, It could. But I'm far too happy that I just want you to come right away." Julia said as she walked to the back of the house, which I assumed leading to the hall of their bedrooms. I looked anywhere around the shop except the brooding cowboy that was sitting at the counter stool, though he was busy with some paperwork. The silence was uncomfortable but between attempting to talk to him and had this silent treatment battle, I choose the latter anytime soon. Thank god, Julia and Mirabelle came out not long after that, each one was taking a bundle of brown ball.
At first sight I now know why Julia was so excited. "Puppies!" I exclaimed excitedly as I walked to Mirabelle and Julia. I always loved dogs, my dad gave me one when I was younger and he died just two months before my graduation. He was old, and since I'm so busy mourning of his lost and graduating I didn't have the time to get a new one. "They're adorable!" I said as I took the one in Julia's arms. It's a light brown puppy and I pet gently on his head. He seems happy with the attention because he licked my fingers after that. I smiled and looked fondly at the puppy.
"I told Julia that perhaps you could have one of them since we decide we only want one. You can choose which one you want though." Mirabelle said.
I looked up from the puppy and looked at the other one, a dark brown one who contently sleeping at Mirabelle's soft arms. I looked wistfully at the two of them, can't decided which one I shall choose. But the one is my arms seems stole my heart already and so, "I'll take this one." I said. I snuggled the puppy in my arms and cooed at him gently. "Wonderful! I thought it would be lonely for you to live at the farm all alone. And when you get chickens later on, the pup would help you protecting them." Mirabelle said as she put the pup on the corner of the shop, where it's bed located.
I nodded, since my dad told me about this once. Dog that likes the owner very much would help them when they needed help on protecting their livestock, like chickens.
"Name him!" Julia exclaimed.
I think about it for a while than come up with something, "Baxter." I said. He dog yapped happily as if he also likes the new name of his. I smiled and patted the dog, and that's when I heard a snort. I realized it came from Vaughn, and I almost forgot that he was around, but the excitement of getting a new pup dim my awareness of him.
"W-What?" I asked. Seems that's the only thing I could say to him.
He shrugged. And I thought he wouldn't say any words, which I prefer that way, but he said something and I wanted to smack him just for that. "Not very original." He said sourly. I scowled at him, "At least he likes it." I said, surprised that I could make a comeback to him.
"Vaughn, be nice!" Julia said.
He looked at me than and stood up. He turned around and crossed his arms on his chest and looked at me carefully for a while. "I hope he survive your care." He said darkly.
"Vaughn!" Julia and Mirabelle said.
But he ignored them and took his paperwork and walked to the hall, probably going to hide in his room. "RUDE MUCH!" I yelled at him annoyed or at least trying to yell at him. He didn't even acknowledge my yell and just walked away. I fumed for a while, and Julia came to stand next to me and pat my back. "Ignore him. One day he realized that you're a good farmer, and he would be sorry for all this bad remark he threw at you." She comforted me. And the only thing that kept me from fuming even more is the fact that he definitely going to be sorry for saying that.
There we go! Hope you guys like it! Please review, I love some review! 3
