Country Plains & City Streets

Chapter 3: County Fair and a Sneaky Phone call

Packed my things and headed to Stella and Brandon's place, Brandon was off to catch a plane in Canada, and I had to drop off Elizabeth.

"Now Elizabeth, behave and do as Auntie Stella ok?"

"Ok… call me every night before you go to bed so we can talk for a while ok?"

"You got it kiddo, now give me a hug and a kiss "

I held on to her as tight as I could. This is the first time I'll be away from her for a longs time, the longest time I've been away from her was when she was born and since she was pre-mature she had to stay in the hospital for about a about 2 weeks.

"Alright kiddo, I have to go now, but I'll see you in a week ok?"

"Ok… bye daddy, I'll miss you!"

"I'll miss you too, and it's not a goodbye it's more like a 'see you later' since I'll only be gone for a week"

"Ok then…see ya later dad…be safe!"

"See you later… love you"

"Love you too daddy"

I got into my car and drove to Country Plains, it was a good 2 hour drive, but I finally made it to the small Inn, I parked my car in the parking area, and went inside with my bags to check in.

"Riven Duncan, I'm staying here for the week"

"Duncan… Duncan… oh yes here you are, I hope you enjoy your stay, here your room key, room 105"

"Thank you" I stared at the small poster from behind the nice elder lady

'County Fair Festival, Rides, Booths, Prizes, Competitions and Talent Show… Collecting Money for St. Jews Hospital, this week only so don't miss it'

"Miss when is that County Fair actually starting?"

"Oh that starts off tomorrow"

"And what's with the Talent Show and Competitions?"

"People all the this part of town compete with one another, it's a small found raiser to collect money for St. Jews"

"Nice… when does it start?"

"Right about 3 o'clock in the afternoon"

"Great, thank you"

"No problems have a nice day"

BACK AT MUSA'S FARM

"Daddy I finally got Alexia to do a full jump"

"That's great honey… so does this mean you'll finally compete in the horse show?"

"You bet"

"Great… *Coughs* Sweet *Coughs* Heart"

"Daddy, are you ok? You don't look so good"

"I'm fine sweet face, I guess working on building the county fair till night got me a little sick, but I'll be fine don't worry"

"If you say so, but why don't you go and take a nice warm bath and I'll make you some chicken soup… how's that sound?"

"That's *Coughs… coughs and coughs* Great!"

I start to make the soup as daddy goes up and takes a bath, my dad is the only thing I have in my life and I don't know what I'll do without him. When my daddy came down I served him the soup and he ate it all, I told him to go and some rest, and I got dressed in a maid's uniform since I'm working part time in the Inn here in town.

When I got there I saw this fancy car, I guess one of the city people are here… but for what?

"Hello Missis Jackson, how are we today?"

"I'm good Musa, listen a fancy man came in here, and I forgot to put towels and soap in his room, please do that favor and give this note to him in case he decides to drink here at the bar, it's on the house for my little mistake"

"No Problem Missis Jackson, what room is he in?"

"Room 105, his name is Riven Duncan"

Riven Duncan, wow if he is as good looking as his name sounds, I might like this guy, but if his attitude bites, then I'll carry on with my loveless life. I head up to the room 105 and knock on the door before entering.

"Room Service"

NORMAL POV

Riven got a confused face when he heard Musa say 'Room Service' he didn't order anything that he could think of.

"But I didn't order any… room service" he said slowly when he opened the door to find the most gorgeous girl he ever saw, pale white skin, Navy eyes and Hair, pulled into 2 ponytails. Lips soft and delicate as a rose with that pink shiny lip gloss.

"I know but Missis Jackson the check in woman said that she forgot to put fresh towels and soap in your room, and here's a note for you to take to the bar tender here in the Inn, the first 3 drinks are on the house as our way as in a apology"

"Ah… thank you but you really didn't really need to do that"

Musa was shocked at his words so she decided to look up and see her clients face, she was amazed to find herself with deep dreamy Violet eyes, Magenta almost wine colored spiked hair and amazing body tone, 'maybe city people aren't that bad' she thought to herself.

"Um if ya don't mind, I would like to put the towels and soap in the bathroom"

"Oh yeah, sure go on ahead"

'She's amazing, how does and amazing and dazzling girl like her live in a small place like this?' Riven thought to himself 'I got to find my way around her, maybe she known's a few people here with some talents, wait am I crushing on her? No Riven you came here on strict business, you heart belongs to your little 8 year old remember that'

"So um if you need anything else just dial 1 then#105 for room service, here the note that Missis Jackson sent me to five you"

"Thank you, and um… I hope you don't mind me asking but what's your name?"

"Oh… my name? Musa… Musa Melody"

"Well Musa, thank you for the towels and soap, um maybe I'll see you around… like say at the county fair tomorrow?"

"Why would a city guy like you want to be around with a small town gall like me?"

"Well let's just say that something about you seems right"

"I hope you don't mind me asking Mr. Duncan, but why are ya here?"

"Before I answer that, how do you know my name?"

"I work here, and second it's my job to know my clients name before I enter their room, now do you mind answering my question?"

"Business, Music Business"

"So you're looking for talents are I right?"

"Yes, yes you are"

"Well good luck finding the one, now ya excuse me, rooms need to be tending"

"So is that a yes?"

"A yes for what?"

"You and me, county fair?"

"Maybe, I'll have to see if I can make it, but be there… just in case, have a nice day Mr. Duncan"

And with that Musa left the room, attending the rest of the rooms, and leaving Riven speechless, but at the same time a little surprised by her little attitude.

The next day Musa woke up filled with energy, she took a shower and decided to get dressed since she was going to sing and compete with Alexia, but she didn't wear her country clothes, she wore something over the top so she would look amazing for the both part of the shows, she wore a Blue-Black leggings with a Pink almost Red top with some black small well tiny squares, a Blue sparkly jacket with Blue fur like boots and a Black glove on her hand and her hair pulled up into 1 pony tail with a little spike on the top and a Black waist belt. *Season 5*

She got on Alexia and headed towards the county fair, Flora was with her family so she decided to hang out with her until the competition with Alexia started since the she won't be on stage until almost the end of the day.

Back at the Inn Riven was already dressed in a blue suit, with black shoes and a black tie, with his normal hair style; he had his watch with his daughter's birth date on the back of it "Elizabeth Marie Duncan, 8 pnds 9 oz, 21 inc. Born May 30th 2004"

Just as he was about to leave his cell phone rang, the id said "Stella" he picked it up knowing it was his daughter calling him.

"Hello?"

"Hi daddy"

"Hey kiddo, how's it going?"

"I'm good, Aunty Stella took me to get a facial yesterday and we went shopping and watched movies afterwards, I was worn out so that's why I couldn't call you yesterday"

"Nah its ok kiddo, glad you had fun"

"How's everything over their dad?"

"So far great, but I really miss you Eli"

"I miss you too dad… any way's how's the country life treating you? Found any talents yet?"

"So far it's far from what I thought it was, it's actually really nice and no, no talents yet, but there's this small talent show today so I may get lucky"

"Oh that sound like fun…. Have you met any pretty girls yet?"

"No I have not"

"Then why are you wearing your Blue suit? Because as far as I know you only wear that blue suit when you saw someone you like or when you're on a date"

"And how did you know I was wearing my blue suit?"

"I didn't…"

"I…. uuh…uumm"

"OH so you did meet a pretty girl, tell me what is she like?"

"You know you are way too sneaky"

"I know and don't change the subject, so tell me what is she like?"

"Well I really don't know her, but she's really pretty, pale skin, pink lips and navy blue eyes and hair"

"She sounds really pretty daddy, do you think she might be the one?"

"I can't tell you Elizabeth"

"Why not?"

"Because only destiny knows and I can't predict the future"

"Well I guess your right… oh I have to go dad, Stella is taking me to her friends tea party, call me when you get back from the fair"

"I will sweet face, be careful"

"You too and dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Win me a stuffed bear or something… LOVE YOU"

"I'll try and love you too bye!"

"Bye"

Riven sighs when he hangs up 'Sometimes I wonder how in the world an 8 year old can be that sneaky'
