CHAPTER 2
A Flower? How Classy! ^0^
Spring DAY 10
PARTLY CLOUDY, WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN NEAR THE EARLY EVENING
Jack sighed, he was finally getting used to this farming life, and having Celia drop by sometimes didn't hurt either. The hard thing was trying to figure out what Celia liked. He guessed she liked vegetables, but veggies and what? He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of her. (And the thing she likes is so simple....-_-````)
"Maybe it's not that complicated ...." He said leaning against the fence that went around the field.
"Hey Jack!" He heard a familiar voice call.
"Hey Celia." He replied smiling.
"How's it going?" She said, leaning against the fence beside him.
"Ok," He said turning his head and facing her.
"Oh yeah, Takakura said you got another chicken! Can I see them?" Celia said standing up straight.
"Sure, I needed someone to help me name her anyway." Jack said shrugging and leading her towards the chicken coop.
She followed him happily and walked in the coop that held about 4 chickens and 3 roosters.
"Wow, you like chickens don't you?" Celia said, picking one up and hugging it.
"Yeah, their not that hard to take care of either." He said picking up the new one gently.
It had kinda been an unspoken dream of his since childhood to have a chicken, and now that he could....well you do the math. Celia placed the other chicken down and grabbed the one Jack was holding.
"Would you like to name her?" He asked smiling at her.
"Really? I'd love too!" She said looking at the chicken.
"....I like Chiky, it's a cute name." She said hugging Chiky. (Thanks PuddingGurl!)
Jack looked at Chiky, "She seems to like her new name."
"How can you tell?" Celia said looking down at the chicken.
"I guess I just can...." He said stroking Chiky's head softly.
Celia placed Chiky back on the ground and Jack held the door open for her. (LIKE A GENTLEMAN!)
"Well I better be going, let you get back to work." Celia said waving to him.
"See ya." Jack said waving back to her, sad she had to leave.
He watched her until she had arrived at her house. Then he turned and walked towards town, it was a kinda lazy day for him. He had finished his chores early that morning and was done for the day. He walked around town for a while and visited Nina and Galen. Then he went to the Inner Inn and talked with Tim, then he was tired of talking. He walked towards the beach and sat down.
"Finally, peace and quiet...." He said laying on his back and closing his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun. He folded his arms and propped his head up on them.
"What are you up to, hmm?" He heard soft voice say.
He opened his eyes and saw Muffy.
"Relaxing." He said looking up at her.
"Mind if I join you?" She asked, leaning over and smiling.
Jack was enjoying the view, but he agreed and she sat down beside him.
"I'm happy you moved here Jack, you make this place a little more lively." She said staring out over the ocean.
"That's good the hear." He said, still laying on his back.
"You know you should stop by the bar and visit sometimes. Griffin and I would appreciate it."
"I'll do that." Jack said sitting up.
"When summers here its going to be so hot...." Muffy said in sad voice.
"Well, we can do a lot more stuff...like swimming." He said, thinking about Celia in a bathing suit.
"I almost forgot about that....I have the cutest pink bikini...." Muffy murmured to herself. (I hate pink, but I'm sure Muffy likes it.)
"Huh?" Jack asked, snapping back into reality from his happy daydream.
"Don't worry about it. Well I think I'll head back, I must be keeping you from working." She said standing up.
"Nah, I finished my chores earlier today," He replied, standing up as well.
"Well still, Griffin will get angry if I'm late. Good seeing you." Muffy said winking and walking off.
Jack smiled, "See you."
He wanted to go see Celia, but he didn't want to go empty handed. He pondered what she would want for a while, but decided it would be easier just to ask Vesta. That woman really did scare him more and more every day. He walked over to the fence and called out to Vesta, after making sure Celia wasn't there. Vesta walked over to him and stood tall looking down at him.
"What can I help you with?" She asked with her normal wide smile.
"Um, do you know what Celia would like a present? Any idea what-so-ever?" He asked, blushing a bit.
"Well if that isn't the cutest thing. Yeah, I know, flowers, and vegetables. That's what she likes. Need any other info?" Vesta asked smirking.
"Nope that'll do, thanks!" He said smiling nervously.
"Well good luck to ya kid." She said turning and heading back to her work.
'Flowers!? It was that easy? Dang, I expected something harder then that!' He thought looking for a flower somewhere.
He walked up to the Spring near the tree the Harvest Sprites lived in. He saw many, but they weren't the kind he was looking for. He then checked near the waterfall and found a flower called Goddess Drop. He picked a few and walked back towards Vesta's farm. He looked and the time was 4:26 PM. It was still early in the evening. He walked up to their door and saw they were inside. He knocked and entered.
"Hey," Marlin said to him in his usual straight face.
"Hey, is Celia up in her room?" Jack asked.
Vesta bent back from the sink and nodded, smiling of course.
He thanked her and walked up the steps, she was sitting there on her bed reading a thick book. She looked up from her reading and smiled seeing Jack.
"Hi Jack!" She said laying the book on her nightstand.
"Hey Celia." He said sitting beside her.
"I was just reading a new book I got, it's really interesting. So what do you need to see me for? Did you want to buy anything?" She asked him placing her hands in her lap.
"No....just....wanted to give you something." He said handing her the flower and blushing a little.
"Wow! Thanks so much!" She exclaimed, with a very happy smile on her face.
Jack was relieved, she liked her small gift. Celia took a small water filled vase and placed the flower in it. She moved the vase near her bed and took her seat back by Jack again.
"Hey Celia, come here a second!" Vesta called from downstairs.
"Sure! Hey Jack hang on, I'll only be a minute." Celia said to him going down stairs.
Jack sat there a moment then noticed the small green diary on the bed. His head said no, but he reached for it anyway. He opened the cover to see a small sentence.
'He is....' Then he saw 3 hearts.
"Hearts?" He said to himself.
He quickly laid the diary back on the bed and waited for Celia to return. She came up a few minutes later and sat back down by him.
"Sorry that took so long, Jack, but she needed help with putting things away." She said rubbing her wrists.
Jack noticed this and grabbed her hands, he then took his index finder and his thumb and placed them in separate spots on her left hand. He placed his thumb near her wrist joint and his index finger between the place where her index finger and thumb connected. He pushed down gently on her wrist joint and a small pop could be heard. He did the same to her other hand. She blushed and rubbed her wrists. (That really works! ^-^)
"Thanks, they feel a lot better." She said, giving him a smile of gratitude.
"If you lift heavy stuff like that come get me, I'll help. You don't need to keep lifting such heavy things, you could really hurt yourself." He said looking at her concerned.
Celia looked at him softly, "I'll get you."
"Good," He said standing up.
"Where are you going?" Celia asked him.
"To the beach to watch the sunset...." Jack pondered something for a moment.
"Wanna come?" He asked, blushing.
Celia smiled brightly, "I'd love too."
Jack and her walked towards the beach talking about how happy they were that Jack came to live in the Valley. And jack talked about how he had despised the city. When they arrived it had grown colder, but the sun was just beginning to set. Jack sat down and Celia sat down beside him. They watched it for a while, then Celia asked Jack a personal question.
"Jack....whose important to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, who's the person that's most important to you right now?" Celia asked blushing.
Jack looked at her and smiled, "Well at the moment....you."
Celia's blush deepened and she looked away.
"Why, is that a bad thing?" He said frowning a tad, hoping not to get turned down.
"No....no not at all...." Celia said smiling now.
She leaned against Jack and laid her head on his shoulder. Jack smiled, everything was working out just as he had hoped it would. He placed his hand on hers and looked out over the ocean. He wondered what would happen tomorrow, but he quickly shunned that. Whatever happened he was with Celia now and that's all that mattered.
*****
"I'm happy you feel the same way." Celia said, they had left the beach and it was growing very dark.
"Yeah, I'd liked you since the moment I saw you." Jack said smiling at her as he was walking her to her house.
Celia grabbed his hand.
"I'm glad I didn't make a fool of myself though." Jack said smiling, and squeezing her hand.
"I have a feeling tomorrows gonna be a good day." Celia said as they arrived to the door.
"I'm sure it is."
