Ok, I'm sorry I have been lacking in chapters, I might be releasing a chapter every other day, but it isn't set in stone. Sorry for this chapter being as short as it is. Please review and enjoy.
Chapter 9
Back on track, Link is still fuming, Malon doesn't dare talk. Link wasn't ever a violent person, but he did seem pretty scary. He had said that he didn't want stop the delivery when Malon suggested that they go back to the ranch and have her father and Ingo finish the route. Link lets out a loud sigh and when Malon looks over she sees his visibly relax his shoulders. He runs a hand over his face and through his hair.
"I'm sorry Malon." Link said.
"For what you didn't do anything wrong." Malon said trying to ease Link.
"Yeah, but if I paid attention I would have noticed the Wolfos long before they arrived." Link said, his voice heavy with sadness. Malon put a hand on his arm.
"It's ok, I don't think he would have hurt you or me. That fairy seems to have control over him." She said.
"Yeah." Link said as he slouched down, closing his eyes. Malon hears a soft snoring come from him and the rest of the trip is done in silence. Malon doesn't bother to wake Link at the next and final stop, seeming it better to let him sleep, but he wakes up on his own when they arrive back at the ranch.
"What about the rest of the stops?" He asks when he wakes up and sees that they are back at the ranch.
"All done. I let you sleep." Malon said as she hops down.
"Ah, welcome back!" Talon said as he ruffled Malon's hair as she past him and disappeared into the house. Link helps Talon and Ingo unpack the wagon and lead the horses to the corral. Malon returns and her hair is wet and she has different cloths on. There are no chores to do today so Malon and Link go to the corral, Link playing his ocarina.
"Why don't you sing?" Link suggests when he is done playing a song.
"What song do you want me to sing?" She asks from the ground.
"You choose." Link says as he lays next to Malon, a piece of wheat sticking out of his mouth. Malon starts to sing a song from her past. Time slips away and it Link and Malon are called for dinner.
"Remember the time when you kicked the cuccos and they attacked you?" Malon asked Link with a laugh. After dinner Malon ad Link went back outside and were laying on the roof of the barn, enjoying the warm summer night.
"Yes, I still have the scars. And it was an accident, I didn't kick the cucco on purpose." Link said as he stared up at the night sky. "Remember the time we were left alone and you crawled up on this roof, and couldn't get down?" He asked with a laugh.
"Yes, you helped me down and I had to explain how I ripped my good dress to my father." Malon said looking up at the sky, her head resting on Link's shoulder. "What about that time we played tag while it was raining?"
"Yeah I remember that. I lost my front tooth, and talked funny for a week. I couldn't talk without somebody laughing at me." Link said as he absent mindlessly ran his tongue over his right front tooth. Malon looked at Link who was looking up at the sky still. She wondered how he would taste, and turned bright red when Link caught her looking at him.
"Lets see, what else embarrassing thing did you do here on the farm?" Malon asks quickly trying to cover up her red face.
"How about this?" Link asked, Malon turned her head to ask what for and her lips met his. He didn't break and neither did Malon. The kiss lasted for a few seconds longer till Link pulled back. His face was very red.
"Sorry I just wanted to do that since we were kids." He said. Malon leaned in closer and kissed him again, Link returned the kiss and they didn't part for a few seconds again, Malon the one to break apart this one.
"Me too." Malon said and she rested her head on Link's chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. They stayed like that for a few minutes but it seemed like forever to Link and Malon.
"You do know that we can't let my father or Ingo know about us right?" Malon asked, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, but maybe we can do this every night, when your father and Ingo go to bed." Link said, his mind already thinking about all of the ways they could keep there relationship secret.
"That would be nice." Malon said with a smile on her face, snuggling closer to Link. "You know, my father and Ingo are suppose to leave tomorrow, early in the morning, and around dinner time." Malon said looking up at Link, her face a light shade of red thinking about what they could get away with while Talon and Ingo were gone. Link replied Malon by giving her a long kiss. They eventually broke apart and they had to go back inside. Talon and Ingo cleared out the spare bedroom while Link and Malon were selling the milk, so after a quick kiss from Malon he headed in there. He quickly changed out of his cloths and crawled under the covers, only in his boxers. He fell asleep thinking about Malon and how she felt.
Please review and stay tuned till next time.
