Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon.
I'm so happy with my reviews; I haven't gotten any bad ones yet! After this I may not be able to update for a week or two, but that is not that long! Enough talk on with the fanfiction! (I have made some minor changes to this chapter because of some grammar)
Chapter 3: Love
Nami woke up and was surprised at her surroundings and then remembered she had spent the night at Jack's. Nami looked over at Jack's bed to find it empty, but the smell of waffles filled the air. Nami looked at the kitchen to see Jack cooking up what smelled like a delicious batch of chocolate chip waffles. Jack noticed Nami had gotten up so he greeted her.
"Good morning Nami I hope you like waffles," Jack said with a grin.
"There okay I suppose," Nami answered. Jack put two waffles on two plates and put them on a table, he then took some maple syrup out of the fridge and onto the table. Jack put forks and knives down and then beckoned to Nami. Nami yawned as she walked over to the table and sat down. Nami poured about a quarter of the whole bottle of syrup on her waffles. She then started cutting and eating, slowly as usual.
After Nami and Jack finished eating breakfast Jack opened the door to see how everything was. Everything was soaked, but at least the storm had stopped.
"I'm going to go now," Nami told Jack, " thanks." Nami was surprised at what she had just said and covered her mouth. Jack grinned.
"Your welcome," he answered. Nami ran outside and back to the inn, but she fell in the mud immediately. Nami spit some mud out of her mouth as Jack walked over to her and offered a hand. Nami actually accepted and Jack helped her up. Nami was about to set off again when Jack stopped her.
"Wait," Jack said. Jack walked up to Nami and brushed off a large amount of mud resting in her hair, " at least you have short hair!" Nami this time walked back to the inn making sure she didn't fall, besides she couldn't run she was too wet, dirty, and miserable to think about even jogging. When Nami reached the inn she dripped mud everywhere.
"Where were you last night and what happened?" Ruby asked as she came out of the kitchen.
"I tripped in mud and I stayed at Jack's," Nami was too miserable to tell her that Jack had made her stay. Ruby vigorously coughed multiple times trying to conceal her chuckles.
" What happened?" Rock had just walked in holding groceries that were now all over the floor. Rock grinned and ran outside. Nami moaned. The whole town would know in the next 30 seconds. Rock was such a blabbermouth.
"I remember when I first met Tim," Ruby said mesmerized in her memories. Ruby started talking about when she was young. Her first love, first date, first kiss, and when she got married. After the first 20 seconds it became monotonous for Nami. Nami was still dirty and miserable so she went up to her room and got in the shower. It took her about 45 minutes to fully scrape off all the mud and clean herself completely. Nami turned the shower off and started to dry herself and get dressed. Then there was a vigorous knock at the door.
"I'll be there eventually," Nami stated. Once Nami was finished getting dressed she opened the door to see Muffy.
"How was it at Jack's?" Muffy asked, she emphasized Jack to make it sound special. Nami rolled her eyes, 45 minutes and the whole town knew.
"I don't feel like talking about it," Nami said casually as she shut the door on Muffy. Nami hopped onto her bed and picked up her diary and a red pen. She opened it up to the page with the green heart. She crossed the green heart out and started drawing a red heart and was in the middle of drawing a second when then stopped. She thought that rating Jack on how much she like him sounded stupid so she decided not to keep track of a diary. It had caused her so much grief before, but that didn't really have to do with the diary. Nami went downstairs, into the kitchen and had some lunch.
Nami walked up to Lumina's house and sat down to listen to her play. She never missed a note as usual. Lumina turned around to see Nami. She gave Nami a big smile.
"Isn't Jack the greatest?" Lumina asked. Nami didn't respond. Nami just walked out of Lumina's house toward Cody's.
"Can anyone shut up about me staying there? It wasn't even my choice," Nami mumbled. Nami walked into Cody's studio.
"Want me to take a caricature of you?" Cody asked.
"Okay," Nami answered. Cody started scribbling down a drawing on his professional drawing pad.
"Now if you could just pucker your lips," Cody said.
"What is this caricature of?" Nami asked.
"Of two little lovebirds having their first kiss," Cody said with a chuckle. Nami turned red.
"I did not kiss him!" Nami stated angrily, her face still covered in red. Nami ran outside. She felt like yelling out a couple insults about Rock, but decided that it wouldn't be best to announce them in public. Nami walked over to Vesta's farm and asked for Celia.
"Sure I'll get her," Vesta said. Vesta was back in a minute with Celia walking beside her. Vesta left to tend her farm.
"Everyone thinks that I am totally in love with Jack and its bugging the heck out of me!" Nami screamed out loud.
"You did stay at his house," Celia said.
"It was flooding cats and dogs!" Nami yelled, "Stupid Rock I wish he would shut up forever."
"Well I'm sure if you explain this to everyone then it will be okay," Celia said.
"That'll take forever," Nami said.
"Celia I need you to water the plants," Vesta called out.
"Sorry Nami I have to go," Celia told her. Nami spent the rest of the day telling people what really happened, but they didn't believe her. Nami also spent some time telling Rock a thing or two about butting into someone's business.
At night Nami went to the beach to calm down. Sure she liked Jack a little… Okay maybe a little more than that, but she was really mad at everyone for making fun of her. Nami felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Jack.
"Go away! Ever since I stayed at your house last night everyone has been treating me different. They have been treating me like a little girl in love!" Nami screamed at Jack. Nami burst into tears and tried to look away from Jack. Jack put his hands on her face and turned her head toward Jack. Jack brushed away the tears streaming down her face.
"Calm down Nami," Jack said in a calm voice. Jack pulled Nami up and they looked into each other's eyes. Nami saw Jack's large milk chocolate colored eyes and Jack saw Nami's sapphire eyes still gleaming with tears. Nami and Jack leaned in and kissed. They both closed their eyes and leaned in even more. Jack put his arms around Nami and pulled her in even closer. Nami felt Jack's hand brush through her red hair. Nami and Jack pulled away taking large breaths.
Nami and Jack sat down and Nami leaned her head on Jack's shoulder. Jack stroked Nami's hair as they looked out at the sea.
Nami's POV
Did I just do that? Oh crud, though I won't deny that I enjoyed that… a lot.
Narrator's POV
Jack took hold of Nami's hand and kissed her cheek. Within a minute they were kissing again.
In the distance Muffy was staring in amazement. She pulled her reading glasses out of her pocket and put them on, took them off, rubbed them clean, put them back on again, and finally put them back in her pocket.
"I knew she was in love with him!" Muffy exclaimed a little too loud. Jack and Nami looked back to see Muffy and Nami was bursting in tears all over again. Jack stood up and Nami followed suit still looking down. Jack grasped her hand and started walking toward his farm.
"You can stay at my house tonight if you want," Jack told her.
"Okay," Nami whispered. They both walked back to Jack's house hand in hand. Once they were inside Nami immediately went to lie down on the cot she slept on last night.
"Goodnight Nami," Jack said. Jack planted a kiss on Nami's cheek before going to bed himself. Nami didn't care to hide her feelings anymore. She didn't care if the whole world knew that she loved Jack. She was surprised she had gone from disliking Jack to loving Jack in two days.
"I love you…" And with that Nami was sound asleep, probably dreaming of Jack.
That is chapter 3! I hope you liked reading it! Please review. And remember I won't be able to update for a little.
