I fiddled my thumbs nervously, heart pounding deep in my chest. My eyes darted quickly to the door as he walked in, bits and pieces of snow cutely stuck in his hair. His lips rose in that cute grin that I'd fallen for the first day I met him, and I couldn't help but smile back sheepishly and wave as he sat down easily in the chair across from me.
"Happy Valentines day, Amelia." His hand gently grabbed mine under the table, and my cheeks burned bright pink. "H-Happy Valentines day, Jack. I was afraid you weren't going to show up.." "Of course I showed up, silly. " His eyes rolled the slightest bit, causing me to giggle. Jack squeezed my hand softly before ushering the cute blonde waitress over. As he ordered for us, my mind still puzzled over why he would have asked me out on Valnetines day. I mean, it wasn't like I didn't like like him or anything, but he was most definitely the most handsome guy in Forget-Me-Not Valley, and there we're much prettier girls in the Village. I had simple dirty blonde, straight hair, storm blue eyes and pale skin, with a petite body. I'd just recently moved here and started working at Vesta's farm, but was quite horrible with the crops, so I got stuck in the store selling their goods. I still had no idea why he hadn't picked cute Celia with her warm brown eyes and kind soul, Muffy with her curvy body and long legs, or even Nami with her mysterious ways and alluring eyes. I was a quiet, shy girl that didn't say much to anybody, and barely socialized with anybody. Except him..
A small sigh escaped my lips as tall, blonde and beautiful Muffy strutted off, jealousy twinning through my body as I expected Jack to gap after her like a pig with all the other men in the Blue bar. But.. he was staring at me instead? "Uhm.." I whispered, my confused eyes locking with his for a single moment as the blush returned to my cheeks. He quickly looked away, trying to hide his crooked grin. "Your so cute when your embarassed." I could hear the smile in his voice, and I groaned a bit. "Why aren't you drooling over her like every other guy on the planet? I mean, it's obvious that she's extremely attractive, versus me."
Jack's eyes narrowed, staring at me again. "Amelia, don't put yourself down like that. Your, like, a bazillion trillion times more beautiful than her, whether you know it or not." I chewed on my lip, not knowing what the say as I nervously sipped on the drink Muffy had brought over. He watched for the rest of the night, examining my every move with now soft eyes.
When it was time for the bar to close, he walked me home, still holding my hand. "T-Thank you for inviting me out tonight, Jack." I smiled a bit nervously as him and we stopped outside the private addition to Vesta, Celia and Marlins home that they had made specially for me. His brown eyes glistened against the porch light as he hesitated before slowly leaving down and kissing me sweetly. "Will you be my Valentine? You're the only girl that I care about, Amelia, and I want you to be mine." Jack smiled softly as I nodded, smiling back exuberantly until he kissed me again, but with more passion than the last. I froze momentarily before melting into his arms and kissing him back, the awkwardness of earlier on melting along with me.
