"...He didn't hurt you, did he?"
Nami's sudden question almost made my heart catapult out of my chest and I felt my cheeks flush bright pink at her concern. Seconds ago, I was already madly blushing when tending to her bleeding arm by wrapping a white cloth around it, because my oh-so-I-guess sinful eyes couldn't help but check out just how muscular and hot her arms really are, and now... Currently, I am blushing even more; my almost heart pounding out of my chest as my hand was lightly touching her arm as I tied the final knot of the cloud-colored cloth. OH. Did I forget to mention too that Nami also took off her shirt earlier since it was wet from falling in the river today to save me and she was now only wearing a black tank-top underneath?! So, now I think it's ten times more understandable why I'm such a blushing mess right now - ESPECIALLY since she's alone with me in my freaking house right now and we're both sitting beside each other on my bed! My heart is literally about to explode, especially with her arms being fully exposed like that, and her collarbone, and... ahhhh, I'll stop!
"I-I should be asking you that..." I stammered, blushing. Nami looked deeply into my eyes as she was quiet, her expression was beyond stern, and I couldn't really tell what she was thinking. We were sitting so close.
Geez, now my heart is really going to lurch out of my chest at this point!
"I-I mean... You were the one to tackle him after all and so, I should be the one asking you that, s-so.." I spoke up nervously and I then looked down at the cloth around her arm, and paused at a sudden realization. "Oh. Wait. You are hurt... I'm so silly. Ehehee. S-Sorry."
Nami let out a soft chuckle and smirked slightly. "You weirdo..."
Immediately, I was flustered and yelled furiously, "H-Hey! I can't help it if I'm out of it and nervous right now!"
Nami was quiet for a moment. "...I make you nervous?"
Taken aback, I felt the heat rushed to my cheeks while frantically waving my hands back and fourth. "N-No! I just..."
She stood up smirking at me a bit, as her quiet voice then oozed of a little playfulness, "Uh-huh... Well, if you don't mind. I'm going to use your shower. I guess I'm staying the night too."
I froze at hearing her last sentence and it felt like a bunch of cupid's arrows wouldn't stop relentlessly bombarding my heart; I felt like I couldn't breathe and no words would exit my mouth. My face is on fire.
Puzzled, Nami raised an eyebrow but I noticed she was also slightly blushing too.
"I mean... it's to make sure that punk of a thief doesn't try anything again with you tonight," Nami tried to justify as she averted her gaze from mine and she continued speaking as a sigh escaped her lips, "It's not my style to crash at someone's place, but... Don't worry, I'll sleep on the floor or something."
She muttered that very last part and suddenly she rushed into the bathroom; her probably feeling very flustered, I assume.
Five minutes went by with Nami in the bathroom. During that period of time, I took Nami's previous wet shirt out of the dryer and folded it, then I put the bag of crops that Skye almost stole in the fridge. I let out a sigh. So much for catching a fish for Nami earlier, I wonder if I should still try to finish her request... That was such a disaster, I-
"EEEEEEEEK!"
My eyes widened at hearing a shriek from outside and I quickly opened the door to see... Molly?!
She was near the front of my barn's entrance as my precious dog, Pointy, was barking at her and getting close to her.
I immediately sprinted up to them and went in front of her as I commanded in a brisk yet soft tone for my dog to go inside the dog house.
"You aren't hurt, are you?" I asked her worried while turning towards the blonde.
I could tell Molly was blushing a bit, but she shook her head and let out a nervous giggle. "I'm okay, don't worry! ...Sorry! I just wanted to check out this farm of yours, but then, uh... Well, actually, now, I need to ask a favor from you."
"What is it?" I asked, completely puzzled.
"A stalker!" she cried, pure fear in her voice as she hugged herself for comfort.
My emerald eyes turned humongous. "A stalker?!"
I stood there stunned as I then awaited for Molly's next explanation. "When I was trying to take a peek at your farm, I realized... I realized someone was following me! I then panicked and ran in your farm, and then that's where your dog tried attacking me!"
A gasp escaped my lips as I then had a light bulb moment. It must be Phantom Skye! That must be who the stalker is!
Molly suddenly clung onto my arm and giggled; I stood there awkwardly, my brain trying to process what she just did.
"Oooh, I was so scared... I'm just glad I'm here with you now," she admitted in a somewhat bubbly yet seductive tone.
She suddenly started to drag me by the arm toward my house. "Come on! I need to talk to you inside!" the blonde cheerily sang.
"W-Wait!" I said while trying to get released out of her grip but it was no use. Before I knew it, she had dragged me inside my house and had freaking invited herself inside, and Nami was still inside the bathroom by the time we had both entered...
"Oh, you just have to let me stay with you tonight Kayla! I'm too scared to go home!" Molly exclaimed and before I could even answer, she walked right up to my bed.
"Oh, what a nice bed! I think I'll be sleeping here tonight! Heehee." She giggled and I blushed slightly, really hoping that she didn't expect me to sleep in the bed with her, because that's the kind of vibe I'm getting here. ... Also, I just feel uneasy with knowing that both Nami and Molly aren't aware that they are both here right now. Nami was definitely not expecting a girl's sleepover tonight...
"What's going on?"
Molly and I both turned to see Nami walk out of the bathroom as some steam came out the doorr, her wearing her black tang top and with a white towel over her shoulders, her red hair slightly damp, and she just looked... so hot. I was practically inwardly drooling.
Molly's eyes grew berserkly wide. "NAMI?! ... You mean... You mean... You two are spending the night together?! You're both sleeping in the same bed?!"
Nami and I furiously blushed. "N-NO!" we both roared in unison.
"I'm just... helping her out..." Nami muttered, she couldn't even look at the both of us because she was blushing so hard.
"Helping her out?! You're showering at her house as if you're dating and sleeping together!" Molly insisted somewhat angrily as she pointed a finger at Nami.
Nami swiftly took her folded shirt that I put on the table and she put it on; her face beyond beet-red. "It's not like that...!" she retorted back flustered and she shook her head. "And what are you doing here anyway?!" Nami hissed at her.
"It's none of your business!" Molly huffed and she turned away while crossing her arms. "But I guess if you really have to know, I had a stalker following me! Then Kayla insisted that I sleep in her bed tonight and stay the night with her!"
I felt my eye twitch. That's not what happened at all!
Instead of saying my thoughts though, I quickly blurted out to Nami without thinking, "It was probably Phantom Skye! He's probably still lurking around my farm! You should walk Molly home!"
I then was puzzled by what I randomly said, to let Nami walk Molly home... I felt a little jealously bubble up within me. Why the heck did I say that?! But well, I do want Molly to be safe, so... It's probably silly and immature of me to feel jealous. But... Ugh, I hate how one of my flaws is that I blurt stuff out without thinking!
Nami turned to me and then was quiet for a moment. "...What about you, though?"
"I-I'll be fine! I'll just tell Takakura to watch over the farm tonight or something! I-I'll be okay!" I nervously insisted while waving my hands back and fourth; still beyond flustered by what Molly said earlier. On a subconscious level, I kind of want them both out of here now. I'm just too beyond mortified right now about Molly's comment about Nami and I sleeping together!
"But, but! What about me staying the night, Kayla?!" Molly whined and she then clasped her hands with mine, staring deeply into my eyes as a then very flirty giggle escaped her lips, "...And what about sleeping in your bed? Heehee. I-"
"Okay, we're leaving now," Nami coldly interrupted as she abruptly grabbed Molly's arm and dragged her out of the house as the bubbly blonde let out shouts of protests and tried to escape her grip. I walked outside and awkwardly watched them both leave my farm. I think I heard Molly yell at Nami about how she was her "rival of love" or something.
So much for Nami staying the night...
