《Cherry Scent》LVI. It's True, I Love You

I want to look prettier than average, I'm begging you to give me a makeover!
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I was sitting on my bed throwing crumbled papers to the floor, I was stressing myself out with this love thing.
Who knew trying to tell someone you love them made you crazy, I knew because Hallmark movies taught me.
I sighed and pulled out my guitar, strumming and humming along to see if a new lyric would pop up.
A frustrated grunt left my lips as I stopped strumming and laid down on my bed, there was absolutely zero in my head which was normal but I hated it.
I decided to listen to some music in hopes it would set off an inspiring in me, I didn't stop listening until I knew what I wanted to write but there was nothing.
I walked to my closet and pulled out my box with the notes of Jaden, I pulled one out and read what I had written inside.
The words were perfect enough for a song but they didn't rhyme, nothing like some revamping can't fix.
I grabbed a grey glitter pen and grabbed my notebook, I took a deep breath and began to rewrite the words onto the page.
There was still music playing in the background, once the song was down I was proud of myself.
I decided to rip the page out of the notebook and place it inside of the box, I didn't want anyone reading this.
As I placed the box inside of my closet, I locked the door and walked out of my room.
My phone was in my hand as I was still in my pajamas, I wanted to look prettier than usual to say I love you.
I ran out of my house and jogged over to Layla's, I knocked rapidly which usually meant it's an emergency so drop your things and help me out.

Layla rushed over to the door and smiled at me, I walked in and immediately grabbed her hand.
"Slow down!"
Layla choked out as I dragged her upstairs to her room, I opened the door and close it behind us before I sat her down on the bed.
She looked at me like I was lunatic which I was but we weren't about talk about that, not yet anyways.
I want to look prettier than average, I'm begging you to give me a makeover!
I pleaded as I looked into her eyes with puppy dog eyes, she laughed and nodded.
"You're gorgeous so no make up needed, I'll look through my closet."
I nodded slightly and went onto my phone, I was a little nervous but also excited considering that I would have my best friends and Javon there too.
Okay, I'm kidding.
All of my best friends would be there.
"Found it! Go to the bathroom and change into it, also explain to me why you're changing!"
Layla ushered me into her bathroom as she handed me a beautiful yellow dress, I put it on and smiled into the mirror.
The dress made me look pretty, I sighed as I opened the door.
Layla's mouth opened, she hugged me and sat me down at her vanity.
She began to do my hair lovely, I loved how it came out.
Scarlett's Outfit and Hairstyle
"I'm going to tell Jaden I love him, I need everyone to be there."
I blurted out as Layla finished doing my hair, I watch as her hand fly to her mouth as her eye widen.
This was what I loved about Layla, she would be dramatic about my things and then cheer me on.
"I'll be taking photos, you can't tell me know because I'll do it anyways."

Layla said as she walked over to her closet and pulled out a yellow sundress, she walked to her bathroom and changed into it.
Cora, Jayla, Javon and Daelo were already outside having a conversation about sneakers and euphoria, I hugged Daelo considering he was my favorite Walton.
He looked just like his siblings, I sighed nervously as Jayla began to dial Jaden's number on her phone.
It was already too late for me to back out now, I watched as Jaden exited his house with a white champion shirt, black basketball shorts and a neon yellow hat.
The hat was blinding but I would tease him after all of this, Jayla looked at me and gave me a thumbs up.
Jaden looked at me confused to which I looked at him and sighed, I didn't know if I should blurt it out or say a speech.
"Jaden, I really like you."
I sounded ridiculous, Jaden grabbed my hand and returned my words.
He had a big smile which made his dimples more noticeable, I loved his dimples.
"And the liking turned into something more, something I'm not sure if you're ready but I am."
I began to ramble, I didn't want to get straight to the point.
I was too afraid of the rejection that might come if I were to tell him the topic, Javon groaned and threw a pebble at me.
I threw a death stare his way before looking back at his twin, I decided to just go for it.
"I love you."
I held my breath as Jaden took the time to process what was just said to him, he looked at me and then back at our friends.
My heart broke a little as he stood quiet, I didn't know what to do but stand there and feel awkward.
"I love you more."
He finally responded as he planted a soft kiss on my lips, he cupped my face and smiled into the kiss before pulling away.
I smiled widely as I hugged him, I never wanted to let go.
He didn't want to either, as we pulled away, we sat down on the grass and decided to go live for a bit.
For the fun of it and because we wanted to brag about how we said I love you, which had the fans screaming of joy.

Magriculture (Rewrite)
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is a rewrite of the original "Magriculture", which some of you may have read. (To those who did, you have my deepest gratitude, it is absolutely because of your patronage and comments that this rewrite happened, and I feel the story is better for it.) That said, this story is not a complete and polished work, there will be mistakes and errors, an occasionally these errors may mean I need to rewrite portions of the story (as of this posting the story has gone through two major rewrites already, and I'm seriously hoping there won't be need of a third.) Because of this, there may at times be changes. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will. Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If you're looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

8 72Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}
