Mates? I don't think so!

Chapter 11

Airabella's POV

The boys were OK helping out but I can't say I'm impressed the way they kept insisting that it was not a real date was kinda funny I mean they never specified what type of date they wanted.  Around this town a date could be as simple as you spending a day at the other persons job and that is basically what they did. I mean the farm is my job.

The next day I woke up bright and early because my aunt and I go down to town square every Sunday to sell some of the produce that we grow in the garden out back which is quite a bit since the garden is huge. So its 6:30 am and I am awake making tea in the kitchen on a Sunday. My Aunt comes down in her pj's and robe to the kitchen which is strange since she is always dressed by seven. 

"You feeling OK?" I ask as she pours hot water in a cup with a tea bag.

"No I did not sleep well and I feel a little dizzy." she tells me sitting down. "Do you think you will be OK to sell today with out me its probably not smart for me to drive today."

"Yeah that fine I will call Fina and she might be able to help and if not I have been down there alone before." I say to her making my own tea.

The sun was just starting to rise into the sky when I went out at 7. The first thing I did was take the table and put it in the bed of my truck along with the produce that was picked yesterday. Then I drove around to the garden to see if any more were ready to be picked. The fruits on the trees from yesterday where ready thanks to Fina and they were being sold today to. As I climbed out of the truck I called Fina to ask if she would help but it 7 on a Sunday so I got no answer. So I called four more times until she picked up.

"What" she groaned out.

"Wake up I need your help at town square today my aunt is sick" I respond to her while setting up a ladder so I could pick some apples. 

"That still does not explain why you woke me up that starts at 9" she tells me sounding a little mad. 

"Yes but I need to be there to set up at 8 so you have a half hour to get ready before I am at your door." I tell her hanging up before she could argue. After getting everything loaded into the truck I went back inside and got out two travel mugs. With 15 minutes before I had to leave the house I decided to  brew some herbal tea that Fina has been asking me to make for her before school. Its her favorite and being the witch friend ever I make the best almost like magic. The tea had mint, lavender, rosemary, a little lemon zest, and ground cardamom. After that was done I popped into two travel cups and got in the truck then off we go. She came out grumbling about having to wake up early on a weekend but hey thanks to her I am almost always up before my alarm.

"Hi" I say to her smiling brightly.

"Why are you so happy" she asks glaring at the sun. 

"Because I get to see your smiling face sunshine." I say my voice heavily laced with sarcasm.

"Whatever" was all I got back.

"Come on I made your favorite tea and have a mug sitting here for you." I tell her holding it up. 

"Fine thank you but do not expect a smile on my face til the market is open." she says to me getting in and taking her drink. 

"That's fine its not like you aren't gonna sleep in the truck on the way there." I tell her pulling on to the road. Sure enough about two minutes into the journey her head was leaning back and she was out like a lite.

When we got there at 8 I decided to let her sleep which she will yell at me for later but I loaded it on my own she can sleep while I unload. In 15 minutes I had everything off the back of the truck so I set the table up, laid  out some of the produce, and put the price signs up to let everyone including Fina and I know what the prices where. by the time that was finished and the money box was set up it was 8:50 so it was time for sleeping beauty to get her kiss. Of course I didn't kiss her I moved both cups of tea to the table we were selling at then opened her door. The seat belt caught her while I laughed at the face she made.
