Lol, it's a good website, even though I don't need tips on dating. All the guys at my school are...stupid, ugly, and perverted.

Here is the next chapter! ;D
Chapter Seventeen: Horse
I felt better the next morning, with no stomach ache or dizziness. Cliff was still sleeping, so I went outside to take care of the farm work. Barley wobbled over from the ntrance of the farm with a horse trailing after him.
"I-I brought you another present..." he squeaked. I smiled and went over to stroke the horse which snapped at me. I backed away and glared at it.
"Thank you." I said through clenched teeth. The horse seemed to be glaring back at me. I raised an eye brow and the turned back to Barley. "It's so pretty! Can I name him Ivory?"
"Call him whatever you would like!" Barely replied happily, cheering up quite a bit. "I will see you later Shelly! By the way, Ivory has quite a temper. You two will go so good together with your tempers..." he then left the farm. I spun around to face Ivory which was now stomping his hoofs on the ground.
"I'll be back to deal with you." I said slyly, stepped into the barn. I fed, and brushed all the animals in the barn, and came back out to find Ivory eating my tomatoes. "Hey! Who said you could eat those?" I said angrily. Ivory lifted his head to glance at me and then started eating again.
I tried to climb onto Ivory's back to ride him but he took off once I was halfway on, flining me onto the dirt. I rubbed my butt as I got back up and ran after him. Cliff soon walked out of the house to find me chasing after Ivory.
"Hey...Honey..." I panted to him as I passed. Ivory stopped and I ran into the back of him, making me fall once more. Cliff helped me up and smiled.
"Here, let me show you how it's done." Cliff said. He walked over to Ivory, stroked his neck, and then started to climb on, and Ivory took off. Cliff hung on for dear life and bouced around the whole ride, and eventually was flung onto the ground. I laughed at him, and went over to him. "Okay...the truth is, I don't know how to ride either."
"I want to ride Ivory so bad, Cliffie!" I pouted. I helped Cliff up and we stood for a moment staring at Ivory. Ivory soon charged at him and we both ran different directions, but he followed Cliff.
"Shel, help me!" Cliff shrieked, running as fast as his legs would carry him. "Please, help me!" I jumped in front of Ivory but he didn't have the chance to stop and ran right into me. I was on the ground for the third time, groaning in pain. I scrambled to my feet and glared at the horse. I walked over and started to climb on when Cliff said, "Please, Sweetie, I don't want you getting hurt from that insane horse. Get off."
I was already on though, riding around the farm. Ivory made sure he was just walking. I smiled at Cliff, but then Ivory ran and started bucking.
"Waa-hoo!" I screamed. I was soon flung from the horse, and slammed into a tree. I ended up on the ground under the tree, holding my head. Cliff rushed over and started to babble nervously. I soon focused on Cliff and screamed "That was AWESOME!"

Here is another chapter!
Chapter Eighteen: Why
"I'm going to the super market, Honey." I called through the house. "Be back in a little while!" Cliff popped his head out of the closet he was cleaning out, and smiled.
"Okay, so you Sweetie." he replied. He drew his head back inside the closet and continued to clean. I went outside and started my walk to the super market. All I could think about at this point was the blue feather I found under Cliff's pillow two days ago. There were so many questions I had to ask myself. Am I ready? Do I want this? Will things change after our marriage?
Well, of course I'm ready. I've been waiting to have him for a while now. Yes, I want this! I love him more than anything...
Will things change after our marriage? I sure hope not. If he loves me, nothing will change except for the fact that we will have children. He wouldn't mind being tied down so he couldn't flirt with other girls, would he? Well, if he doesn't now, I guess it doesn't matter.
I smiled and entered the super market to find Kai and Popuri arguing over Karens pregnancy. Kai and Popuri loved each other, so Popuri wanted to stay with him, even if he did cheat on her. I have to admit, I have seen him a couple times walking out of the bar with young girls from different cities.
Kai on the other hand doesn't want to be tied down by Popuri any longer. He loves to hang out with all the ladies possible. He doesn't take the chance of breaking her heart though.
"Do you love her Kai?" Popuri lashed at him. He just stood there with an embarrassed look on his face, and didn't answer. "Answer me you..."
"No, baby." he finally blurted out. "I'm sorry. I don't even like her that way. All I want is you." he said in a sweet tone. Popuri smiled and hugged him tightly. Kai smirked but the one thing that was going through my head is 'what a loser.' I quickly grabbed 3 cans of vegetable oil, and some chocolate and started to walk back home after paying for all of it. I watched Gray as he started to walk into the bar, and then turned my gaze back to the path.
"Hey, Shel. Come here for a second!" I heard him call after me. I spun around and entered the Inn to find him taking a seat at a table with Rick. I laid the groceries down by the door and followed his actions, and sat across from them.
"Where is that idiot?" Rick said impatiently. He sighed and tapped his fingers on the table. "I told Kai 2:00!"
"Last time I saw him, he was at the super market with Popuri." I commented. Rick sighed and rolled his eyes.
"He is taking everything I love, and care about!" Rick growled, glancing over at me. "Karen, Popuri...I wish he would just...disappear! Forever!" I shrugged and turned my gaze to Kai which was walking in the doors. Rick glared at him as he took a seat at the table beside me. He smiled at me, and scooted his chair a little closer. I couldn't figure out why.
"So, how have you been lately, baby?" he said breaking the silence. He slid his arm around me and I reacted quickly. I stood up and slapped him across the face.
"You know I'm taken!" I yelled. Doug and Ann who were over near the counter stopped what they were doing to stare. "I'm not like all the other girls Kai! I don't fall in love with you at one glance! Actually I think you are a..."
"Come on, baby!" Kai interuptted. "What's wrong with me?" He sat for a moment waiting for an answer, but when he didn't get one he said, "Now that I think about it, what's wrong with any of us?" he cried, motioning at all three of them. Rick and Gray nodded and added, "Yeah, really!"
"Well, I just never had feelings for you guys..." I answered sheepishly. Actually, I never considered any of them other than Cliff.
"Why did you pick Cliff?" Gray asked rudely. "He is no better than any of us!"
"You wouldn't understand!" I yelled back. I thought of all Cliff had done for me compared to what they had done. "He's sweet, loving, caring, funny, cute..." I could have went on, but I didn't.
"I can be much more than that, baby." Kai commented, rising from his chair. I could hear someone enter the Inn, but I didn't care if I made a scene infront of anyone. Kai started to walk towards me when I took out my sickle, and pointed it at him.
"No, you will never be like Cliff." I sneered. Kai had froze where he was and looked at me nervously. "And if you ever make a move on me or talk to me like that again, I swaer, I will slice you in half." Kai backed away, and sat in his seat again.
"Oh, yeah?" Kai laughed. "I'm not scared of you. Besides, what makes Cliff so special?" Kai sneered. He crossed his arms and sat waiting for an answer. I already had a whole list thought up.
"Did you shelter me when I fainted? No, you didn't. Did you help me when I was drunk? Of course not. Did you scare my abusive dad away forever? No, you didn't even know about him. Did you ever care for me the way he did? I DON'T THINK SO!" I yelled at him. I put the sickle back into the rucksack, and stomped over to Kai. "Never hit on me, ever! You know I have a boyfriend, and that is NOT going to change. I LOVE HIM, AND HE LOVES ME, GOT IT? Good."
I spun around, still steaming mad. Ann and Doug's mouths were hanging open, and the person that enetered the Inn, was Cliff. I picked up my grocery bags, and stormed out, ignoring even Cliff who was standing nearby. I was almost to the winery when I heard him call out, "Sweetie, wait up!"
I stopped and waited for him to run up beside me. Once he was there we started to walk towards home.
"What happened in there?" Cliff asked confusedly.
"Well, you only missed the first part of when Kai put his arm around me and I slapped him. You saw the rest." I said. "Stupid idiot thinks he can have anyone he wants, without any reason."
"Well, what you sai in there. It was really...nice." Cliff sighed. "I'm glad I could do so much to help you. What I'm really glad about is that I made you happy." He leaned over and we stopped to share a kiss under the setting sun.

..........
i hate how all you people write out kai to be that way, but i'm getting used to it. *sigh*
i guess it annoys me, cuz i perceive him in a different way. i look at him as a man who is here only one season a year and is misunderstood by other men who are here all year round and therefore looked at as a player, since the townspeople know the other men better. if you get to know him in the game he's really not that bad. ah, but enough about kai.
the story's going well, so please continue. ^_^

I haven't married Kai yet so I don't really know him.....
But it's your story so it's ok. I just see how the writer is seeing each character while reading the story. Of course I have my own opinions about them, but.....ok I'll stop blabbering now.

Yeah, I never really got to know Kai, and that's why I'm just coming down on him so hard. I married Cliff though, that's why I'm so obssessed. ^_^
