The Afternoon Date
A/N: Thank you guys and girls for reviewing! And thank you for realizing that Muffy isn't some ditzy girl desperate for a guy! She's just more lonely than the other two because Celia has Vesta and Marlin, as well as that guy she's supposed to marry back home, Nami is anti-social anyway, and when you live with a bartender, you're going to be upset and eager for friendship. I love how the story is working out and I love how you guys and girls, well, love it! The rating isn't going any higher I don't think from here. It's just a sweet story, and that's all I've wanted it to be.
Jack got up from the bed and ran to the window when suddenly we heard a knock. The rain was slowing down and the moon could be seen more easily. Jack opened the door with me behind him and I saw Griffin, Kassey, Carter and Takakura in front of us. "What are you doing here?!" I demanded angrily.
"We were looking for you!" Kassey said, his mustache twitching. He looked at Jack and then looked at me. "But I can see you've been busy..."
"Kassey, stop. I went out to apologize for making you go out to get the groceries, and I followed you, but you cried out and ran off. It was dark and I didn't know where you went so I checked everywhere. Low and behold this was the last place I checked."
"Oh." I said and blushed furiously. Jack gave a nervous and unsure grin as I stepped back out of the house. Patrick (The sheep not the twin!) watched me curiously from behind the fence of the farm as I traveled back down the path. Jack gave me a sort of sad look and disappointedly shut the door leaving Takakura to make a low and depressed sigh.
"Come on Muffy. Don't tell me your going to waste your time on that...that...farmer!" Kassey said angrily but I turned around and slapped him across the face.
"I don't know what your problem is Kassey, but if you keep putting down Jack, just because I love him, then you're going to get more than slapped!" I yelled angrily, opening the bar door and slamming myself inside. I waited at the door and for a brief moment and was going to lock them out that was until I heard Griffin say:
"Did she say she loved him?"
And that's when I realized, I did love Jack, and there's was no hiding it anymore.
I ran upstairs, locked my own bedroom door and lay on my bed, setting my hair in curlers and washing off my make-up. I slept very peacefully that night and the next morning I awoke very late, around 1:00 P.M. Apparently, Griffin thought that this was the best apology he could make for the other night for me to sleep in. I hurriedly re-dressed fixed my hair and carefully put on my make-up.
I ran down the stairs, nearly falling down the steps in my heels and opened the door and saw Griffin.
"You get today off." He said immediately and nervously. "It isn't much but..."
"Oh. Thanks then Griffin." I said gratefully. "But that leaves with nothing to really do..."
And just at that moment, as if someone had heard me, Jack came inside and I thought maybe we could do something. If not we could just talk.
"Jack, would you go in the backroom please? I'll be there in a minute."
"Sure, no problem!" Jack said and went into Griffins' bedroom and the room leading up my own. I went past Griffin and opened the door closed it and Griffin didn't have much contact with me at all the rest of the day.
"There's nothing to do today." I said. "It's late and it's my fault that I slept in. I'm sorry about last night too."
"Hey don't be." Jack said then he quickly recovered. "Do you want to date?"
Date? I hadn't had a date in Forget Valley before...I wanted to accept but I didn't want to make it seem like I would've been ready to do absolutely anything for one. "I don't date casually...Do you still want to?"
That was a stupid question, how I could be so...
"Yeah!" Jack said, and I happily grabbed my coat. It was the first day of Winter and I just realized I hadn't had a date here before. That's three years waiting...
"Muffy?" Jack asked.
"Oh yes, let's go!"
And we left the Bar, leaving Griffin and a very upset Kassey behind. (If you guys didn't know, Kassey has a crush on Muffy, and not just for the first few chapters, for the whole game. Though, I twitched it a bit because Kassey still liked me after I married Muffy in my game.) Jack and I went up to the pond up by the beautiful lantern lights were and I sat down where Jack laid out a blanket for us. The ponds ripples were quiet and serene, and the dead trees from Falls' cold were struggling to hold on to any leaves they possibly could.
The lantern lights were glowing a beautiful blue hue, and the afternoon was left in a slightly cold daze. I shivered in a sudden gust of wind that blew over the both of us. Jack huddled in closer and held his arms around my body and I leaned my head on his shoulder. We watched as a slow snowfall was coming down upon the ground and frosting the less-than-green grass.
At that moment, I knew. I finally knew. I was in love with him, and I had hoped he had loved me.
I don't remember how long we were out for. I just remember we were out very much into the night, admiring the snowfall and talking in whispers and laughs. I know I always told people I wanted Spring to last forever, but now...just now...
I wanted this to last forever. I wanted this Winter night to last for as long as the earth lived.
A/N: So I guess you people know what's coming next...and just because I'm so nice, I've uploaded the other chapter too! It's sweet, and I hope you liked the story.
