I woke up to the early morning of Summer 1st. I looked outside my window and to my excitement saw that my orange tree I planted last Fall was ready to be picked from. I smiled to myself as I thought of all the wonderful orange flavored dishes I would be able to make. Maybe even make some for Chase...
My face flushed and I pushed the though far away from my head and got dressed and ran outside to start the day. First thing I did, was get the hard stuff over. Which consisted of watering and feeding and milking the animals. Then I left them to graze outside and hurriedly started to climb up my orange tree with a basket in my hand.
I examined each and every orange. Deciding to throw the decent looking ones in the shipping bin, and take the others for my cooking.
After all that good stuff was done, I quickly jumped down and ran back in my house. I looked at my clock. It was 7:20. It was still technicly morning. I so wanted to make something with these oranges...so I decided to make orange juice. I selected the one of good quality and put it in the blinder. It was quite delicious!
Since I enjoyed it so much...I decided to make some for Chase as well. I picked the orange of shining quality and quickly put in the blinder, and placed the drink carefully inside my rucksack and walked off to Chase's house.
When I got there it was around eight, I gently knocked on the door but I got no answer so I opened the door and walked right in. The sight that I saw truly amazed me. Chase was in a trance, playing away at a flute. He didn't seem to notice me standing there, so i just listened to him play. He was quite good. He looked like he was enjoying it. I guessed this was what he loved second to cooking. I shifted a little and he looked up at me.
"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Oh! Erm. " I said flustered. He gently placed his flute down on the table and walked over to me. "Well you see, my orange tree on my farm was all ripe and stuff, and I wanted to cook something with the oranges I got, but couldn't think of anything. But since It was still morning I decided to fix orange juice. And it tasted really good...so I decided to make you some." I said holding out the drink in his face blushing. He smiled at me, then looked seriously at the drink. He took a small sip then his eyes lit up.
"Its wonderful!" He exclaimed. I was shocked at his sudden outburst. "Sorry." He chuckled. "Its just that oranges are my favorite." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Oh. Oh! Well I'm glad you like it." I smiled.
He took another sip. "This really is good. What quality of orange did you use might I ask?"
"Oh well for mine, I used good...but for yours...I used shining." I blushed again and fiddled with the hem of my shirt. He smiled and patted my head. "Thanks." I looked up at him and smiled.
"Its so good," He spoke. "I'm really happy." His lavender eyes sparkled with happiness, that made me shiver in joy and accomplishment.
I bid him goodbye and left and went out to do regular day's chores. When I finished I decided to stop by the Inn. I was greeted by an unhappy looking Maya.
She walked up to me, and got straight to the point.
"Chase is mine! You cannot have him! I'm going to marry him some day just you wait! And if you try and get any closer to him you'll be sorry."
"Its not like tha-" But just then Chase walked into our view.
"Maya. Stop being so rude. Do you not know how to treat a customer." Maya looked upset.
"I was just telling her to stay away from you cause your mine!"
He sighed. "Maya I do not belong to anyone. And have you ever thought, that maybe I liked having her around me?" Maya looked shocked by this and tears started to well in her eyes.
"But...I've known you longer. I've liked you longer."
"Key word there. Like. Not Love." Maya screamed, "You know what I meant!" She looked at me. "You just like her cause she can cook!" She gave me the death glare. "You better watch your back missy!" And with that she took off out of the inn.
Chase rubbed his temples.
"I apologize for her behavior." He looked at me seeing that I was flushed by what he had said earlier. Did he really like having me around? It seemed as if he could read my mind, and said, "Don't flatter yourself about what I said. I was just trying to get Maya to shut up." And walked out of the Inn aswell. I was just left there staring at the spot where he had just left.
