Chapter 2: A new Love and begining War

I looked at Cliff with a big smiled and showed him around my farm.All my animals were gentle with Cliff especially my dog since he loved all the attetion he got from me and Cliff.After I finished I took Cliff to the mountain peek and looked at the sunset. Cliff looked at me leaning on him. I know it was rude but I had a hard day. He looked at me and smiled and then I smiled at him too."Cliff...how come you're not shy around me?"I asked.Cliff looked at the Moon rise "Well Maria...I..I...I love you..."Cliff said and blushed. I blushed too and as the Moon rose higher and higher we slowly embraced a kiss onto each others lips and he walked me home holding my hand. I started to think it was a fantasy but it wasn't it was all real and everything was going so so fast. It didn't bother me. My shy quiet nature was saying to me he was perfect for me.I let Cliff inside my house and showed him to a guest room.
Cliff went to bed and then I went to my room and went to sleep in my room with my dog on the end of my bed asleep.I felt odd and happy around Cliff and I thought about him all night long.
:Next Morning:
I woke up and was watching the weather channel seeing it'd rain early morning and all day tomorrow I went outside to take care of my animals and then I put them in their rightful place and fed them all.I went inside and saw it start to poor in rain and I sighed I saw Timid coming and I brought him inside "It's raining silly you don't have to work Here."I gave him his pay and I let him stay at my house in the smaller sprite sized guest room.
Cliff woke up and yawned.He got up and looked around my house then saw me making break fast "Good morning."He said and smiled.He came over by Me and hugged me from behind.
I smiled and turned the oven off and placed pancakes on the table smiling.I sat Cliff down and smiled at him. Cliff smiled at me and ate a pancake "Mmm...Maria this is Delicious."Cliff said and smiled. I giggled and kissed his cheek smiling."Oh!Cliff the day after tomorrow is the Horse Festival.Please come pretty please!"I made puppy eyes and blushed as I did.Cliff smiled "Ok I'll come since You and Lighting are in the race."Cliff said and smiled."Yay!"I smiled happily and then hugged Cliff "Cliff are you gonna root for me?"I asked."Of course!I'll root for you all the way!"Cliff said smiling at me.I giggled and kissed him and then I went outside and Harvested my veggies and fruits and went to get the eggs milk and wool and I made some of them into Mayo Yarn and butter and sold it all then I went to go get wild grapes and I came back and made it into grape juice and g ave it to Cliff. "I like this!Thank you, Maria!"Cliff said and drank it up "Mmmm of this is so good!It's almost better then the winery's.Acutually...It is better!"Cliff said and smiled at me.I giggled and saw Timid come out "hi Timid do you want something to eat?"I asked kneeling down by him.Cliff looked at the harvest sprite and was quiet.Timid nodded and looked at Cliff "H..Hi.."He said and I helped him into a seat with books on it.Cliff waved at him and saw me make aboiled egg for Timid.He smiledbecause he saw kindness in me and went over by me and kissed me.I kissed him back and giggled.
Horse Race

I was in the last race as usual and was by Cliff til it was my turn to race.Cliff Popuri Karen Elli Mary Doctor Gray Kai and Rick cheered me on.Kai was Popuri's husband and decided to stay and Rick was Karen's husband.Cliff looked at Anna coming toward him and she grabbed his ear."I saw you with that girl yeserday."Anna said grinning."Anna...let go..."Cliff said.When the race was over I saw Anna and Cliff and I got upset.Cliff was me and went over by Me and held me tightly.I whimpered and cried a little because Anna scared the living day lights out of me since she hit me on me face.Anna growled and tried to get to me but Kai and Gray grabbed her "Hey why don't you leave her alone."Gray said looking at her."Yeah Popuri told me what you did.If Cliff likes her let him like her you can't steal him from her."Kai said grinning."Anna we've had it with your additude!"Popuri Karen and Elli said.Mary was grinning at her.Doug came over "Anna what are you doing."he said."Daddy!the Farmer girl is taking away the boy I like."Anna said.Doug looked at Cliff holding me so tightly "Anna he loves her it can't be helped and I'm still angry at you for hitting her."Doug said grinning at his daughter.Anna crossed her arms and went back to the Inn.Cliff held me still and pet my head despite his shy quiet nature.Karen Elli Popuri Mary Doctor Gray Kai and Rick smiled at us and left us alone.
That Evening at the Beach
Cliff took me to the Beach and Cliff was holding me in his lap.I was looking at the Sunsetting.Since Lighting was with us we could both ride him home.but I ended falling asleep and Cliff rode my horse with me infront of him home.He knew how to tame a horse and how to steer it from behind so when he got me home he noticed all my Animals asleep outside in their pens and I knew it would be sunny tomorrow.Cliff put me to bed and was by me the whole night his heart beating fast and mine was beating fast too.He kissed me and went to bed beside me holding me closely and was asleep.
Next Morning
I woke up because something was tickling my face and I saw this blue feather tickling my nose.I saw who was tickling me with it and it was Cliff.I giggled and sat up smiling at him."Maria...I..I wanted to...propose...to you..."Cliff said and showed me the blue feather.I got up and pulled him into a tight hug and accepted the feather smiling "I will accept your proposal."I said and kissed him.He kissed me back smiling and we went to the chruch together and told Cartor.Cartor was so Happy that we both got out of our shy sides and fell in love.Cartor smiled and saw Anna come in giving Cartor his lunch but glared at me.Me and Cliff were quiet and waited til Anna left.
1 Week later

At the wedding ceremony I wore a baby blue wedding dress.My friends and their husbands said I looked beautiful and gave the girls blue stome necklaces and the boys a Blue bracelet that was for boys.They smiled and saw it was time. Cliff was at the pesital waiting for me.So I walked up to him and smiled.Anna was at my wedding and Doug was keeping her from pounding me.But she had a plan.When Cartor said "Speak now or forever hold your peace" Anna said "I object!" and everyone looked at her even me and Cliff did and we looked at each other.Cartor closed the Bible and sighed "Well I guess you know what that means."Cartor said.Me and Cliff looked at Cartor and asked him for a private one with just her friends and anyone of Cliff's choice.Cartor agreed and told us to come a little later.We told my friends and their husbands to come along with Manna and Duke at the Aja Winery.
Later

We got privately Married and Anna didn't stop us.We had a party at the Inn and Anna was in her room so she didn' know about it and me and Cliff went home.This time though...it would be different...
