Magically Affected

Meko falls

Eva's POV

So it's like a silent agreement that the events of last night be forgotten. I mean I don't think I could ever forget it but we don't have to talk about it.Besides there's nothing to talk about ,its not like we almost kissed, right? Ugh we almost kissed.

But no ,it can never be. At least that's what I've been telling myself for obvious and other non obvious reasons.

We are having breakfast and its not tensed at all, and I'm not aware of every movement,every  smile he makes and I've not noticed how incredibly handsome he looks in his polowhite shirt,jeans, and surprisingly some cowboy boots and hat. Of course I am aware and of course I've noticed  and of course its tense.

'So what's on the agenda for today?' Paa asks.
I haven't really thought about it and you could tell on my face.

'You could ride around. Show Eddie here more of the grounds. I bet he hasn't seen Meko yet right?' Maa suggests.
It's a brilliant idea but I don't really want to go to Meko, I mean not yet. It has soon many unpleasant memories.

'Are you sure Grandma cause we can tour around town, he could see the market, Lwnyl botanical garden.' I mean anything but Meko.

Meko waterfall, its one of the most beautiful sceneries I've ever seen. The most beautiful in the county.

'All the places you mentioned are of course exciting but I think he should see Meko else he would never appreciate the beauty of Asgardia.' Grandma says firmly.

'I agree' Paa says looking at Mr.Hansen for his opinion. He is really quiet today.

'Well if you all think so then I'd go on with what you are saying. Meko it is.' He says with a small smile.
Meko it is ,I repeat in my head. Its going to be a long day.
The rest of the meal continues on normally. Mr.Hansen and I are quiet ,and of course our silence is filled with Maa and Paa chirping away.

Breakfast is over and I'm preparing for our outing. I'm going for a tank top,jeans and boots. We will be hiking abit so comfy.

Mr.Hansen is waiting when I get to the lounge ,he's added a checkered shirt to the ensemble. He looks great.

We walk towards the car in complete silence. I have to talk,else it will get tense real quick.

'So, I will take you around the ranch from border to border. You can see all our crops as well as our citrus plantation. Diego is the foreman so he will be best to show you around but he is busy. Besides, I'm sure I will be able to do a good job too. Meko is on our western border. Well the forest connects the Fuego Fuego, the ranch on our west to us. Do you get it?'

' I think I'm getting the picture.' He says solemnly.
I get into the drivers seat and he enters the passengers seat. For once I have the wheels and it makes me feel accomplished in a way, a smile finds it way unto my lips.

Mr. Hansen must have noticed as well cause he just rolls his eyes and settle comfortably for the ride.

We drive around for a while with me showing him about. We meet some of the workers. I never noticed before but The ranch is huge. This is the first time I've had to show someone around it. We walk through the citrus plantation, it is kinda beautiful in a way.
Plus it was nice to see the look of wonder on his face cause I know all this is new to him. Born and bred a city folk that's for sure.

We get to the western border and so we have to hike the rest of the way.
Meko is like a 10 or so minutes walk away. It used to be more but a path was created for good measure.

We walk for a while, I start to hear the water so I know we are close and I feel I must give Mr.Hansen the ultimate experience. I turn to him and ask
'Do you have a handkerchief?' He nods bringing it out ,no questions asked.
