It's the next day and I swear - it's almost as if I could still feel Nami's hand holding onto mine, which consistently results in my cheeks turning rosy red like mad. Am I crazy, even delusional to think that Nami was actually feeling so attracted to me that she just couldn't help but to be touchy with me and hold my hand yesterday?! ...

Speaking of yesterday, after that whole weird ordeal with Rock arguing with Hugh, I told Nami that she could keep the flower crown and then hurriedly scurried away back to my farm before she could say anything back. I just felt absolutely mortified and just felt the need to be alone to process my feelings about the fact that Nami was ACTUALLY holding my hand like that! Ahhh. I need to stop freaking out already.

Nonetheless though, I ended up not selling any flower crowns yesterday - so today I thought I can have a second attempt at opening up my shop today to sell them, and that's where I'm heading right now.

As I began to approach the inn, I came to a halt when I saw that Cecelia, Molly, Lumina, and Flora were all standing in a circle talking with each other right near the area where I usually set up my shop.

Soon the four of them noticed me, appearing puzzled, and Molly's face instantly lit up. "Kayla! Come join us!" Molly instructed me with a flirty giggle.

"U-Uh... Okay," I answered somewhat nervously while walking up to the group of the four bachelorettes.

"Us girls were just talking about how Cecelia wants to plan to go on a picnic today with all of us! To have a total girls day!" Molly exclaimed and she quickly added, "We were also talking about the juiciest gossip! Hehe."

"N-No we weren't!" Lumina stammered and the brunette then turned towards me while meekly saying with her face turning a bit red, "H-Hi Kayla."

"Yes, hi! It's always good to see you, Kayla!" Cecelia greeted me with the warmest grin and she leaned forward with her arms behind her back, "I hope you're able to join our girls picnic today."

Flora gave me the tiniest wave without saying a word.

"O-Oh hi, I'm not sure if I'll be able to join. I was planning to open my shop-"

"Hey Kayla! Is it true that Chris read your fortune the other day? She mentioned it briefly to me yesterday!" Molly randomly blurted out excitedly and she covered her mouth while slightly giggling.

Taken aback, my cheeks turned the same color as the inside of a watermelon at remembering the romantic reading that Chris gave me the other day. "U-Um! ...Well, yeah she did, but... Um..."

Molly happily gasped. "Ooh! What did she say? I bet it was a love fortune!"

"Um... You shouldn't put Kayla on the spot like that..." Flora mumbled while crossing her arms.

"I agree with Flora, but at the same time I'm curious, " Lumina admitted quietly and she began to blush as she looked at me. "Perhaps, you do have a crush on someone... Kayla?"

My eyes widened. Why is she blushing?! Don't tell me Lumina has a crush on me too! What is with this town?! It's like as if almost everyone is obsessed with me! First Rock, then Molly, now maybe Lumina?! Who's next?! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating and getting a bit ahead of myself, but geez. And well, obviously I suspect Nami likes me too, but... ...

Cecelia put her hand over her mouth as she let out a soft laugh. "I usually don't pry either, but I am a little curious too. I might get a love reading for myself as well," Cecelia confessed.

Molly looked at me eagerly, as she put her hands behind her back and sent me one flirtatious wink. "I wonder who it's about... Hehe. Hopefully, me-I mean... Never-mind, hehe."

I gulped as the four of them were now all staring at me, hastily awaiting for my reply, even Flora now looking interested in what was said during my reading.

Blushing, I looked down while shyly playing with my fingers. "W-Well, uh... Chris basically said that someone had their eyes on me and-"

"Namiiii, come join our girl talk!" I suddenly heard Molly's voice.

I looked up to see Nami walking toward us from behind as her hands were in her pockets. She soon came to a halt and my heart nearly skipped a beat once I saw her.

"No thanks, I'll pass..." Nami somewhat coldly responded as she averted her eyes from Molly.

"Oooh, come on! You're one of us girls! We were about to go on a picnic too! It won't be complete without you!" Molly insisted whining and she then flashed Nami a wink while revealing, "Plus, Kayla was just telling us about the fortune reading she had the other day... Apparently, Chris told her that someone has their eye on her, and then there seems to be more that Chris predicted about the future of Kayla's love life! She was just about to tell us the rest. Hehe."

Nami's eyes widened slightly and she raised an eyebrow as she slowly turned to look at me.

Molly clenched her fists and her body shook with excitement. "Come on, Kayla! Tell us the rest! What else did she predict about your love life?!"

I don't know if it's my imagination, but right now Nami looks as if she's readying herself to listen intently to whatever I'm about to say next, as if she's so beyond intrigued now! Her expression was so stern and... I just can't tell what she's thinking right now!

I blushed outrageously and felt like I was about to explode from nervousness.

"I-I... I-I got to go!" I timidly declared as I then ran off toward the direction of Cecelia's farm.

Why did Nami look so invested about hearing about my love life?!

Was she...

Wondering if she was going to be mentioned?
