Chapter 12: Untold Secrets

Regarding the (super cool) title: Secrets aren't secrets if somebody knows about it!

He stared at the window, it's been three days and he didn't ask. He was so stupid; Popouri's birthday was the perfect moment to do it. He was so weak around her unable to speak. He was amazed how she understood him when he spoke to her. She was perfect in his eyes. Perfect.

Jane followed her usual routine, Water, animals, clear the field. She threw away her last weed. When she stood up, Kurt was beside her.

"Hi Kurt!" Jane said smiling

He looked at her; he had felt different around her, the last couple of days. He couldn't help himself; he always thought Dia was the one for him. Again with the sudden move, he met Mary; she was so kind and beautiful. But Jane, she visited every day, he would wait for her to come. Joe, his brother, the one who understood him, was completely clueless.

"Are you done your work yet?" Kurt asked

"Yep! Why?' she asked.

He wanted to ask her something important; he was waiting for the right moment. But he couldn't say it.

"Do you want to go walk around?" Kurt asked. Of course that's what he didn't want to ask. He wanted to hold her forever and never let go.

Lyla looked at the clock, she was bored. Her usual customers were that guy he came into buy "Queen of the Night" flowers, Jane, a very kind farmer, a pink-haired girl, and him. Of course she meant "Cliff", he came in usually to buy flowers. He seemed very troubled and confused, but Lyla was in love. She reminded him of "Louis" very sweet and shy. Although he belonged to someone else,(1) she was not going to give up.

"Hello Lyla!" Cliff said smiling.

"Very Happy?" Lyla asked. She couldn't take her eyes of him. "Same thing?" She said opening a bag up.

"Pink flower Bouquet, please and thank you." He replied looking at the photo frames. "Jane might like this" he thought.

Lyla sighed and handed him the bag. He wasn't even looking at her. She HAD to get his attention.

"Cliff..."She began.

"Yes" He said looking up.

"I hope you come again." Lyla said beaming.

"I promise." Cliff said waving as he left.

"Ann!" Doug yelled

"Huh?"Ann said looking at her father.

"You should go out, you've spent quite a bit of time inside." Doug said wiping the counter.

She smiled and waved good-bye. She took a deep breath; it has been a long time. She hadn't gone out for awhile. Mostly avoiding Carl, she thought she could be ready, but maybe not. She was also hiding from Jane. She wasn't very good with secrets. And could crack at any moment. She had to be very careful not to...

"Hello Ann!"Jane said smiling

"Oh No...Stay Calm" Ann thought waving.

"Hi."Kurt said.

"So how have you..." Jane asked

"POPOURI IS TRYING TO STEAL KAI AWAY FROM YOU!" Ann shouted. (She wasn't very good at secrets)

"What?"Jane said confused, but Ann had already run to the cafe.

Although, she knew what Ann said was true. She felt like she didn't care. She felt something for him still. But her heart was telling her something else. She looked at Kurt and he smiled at her. She smiled back. They walked for a few hours, and he walked her home.

"Good Night, Kurt."Jane said

"Good Night, Jane."Kurt said.

He waited for her to close the door and walked toward the mountains.

"Kurt! Wait."She said running to him, she threw her hands around him. He held her tightly. And to both of them, a few minutes felt like an eternity.
