Chapter 3

The next morning, Mint slept in Claire's room. Claire slept on the couch last night.

Then, she woke up.

The roars of Mint's unruly stomach could have probably scared away a small group of rabbits, or at least one cowardly lion.

She placed her hand over her abdomen in order to calm the raging beast.

"Ohhh, I'm so hungry."

She dragged herself out of bed and aimlessly started searching for Claire before she could even wipe the sleep from her eyes.

Just the thought of breakfast sent Mint's saliva glands into a fit. "Oh man, I'm so hungry, I could eat-"

Wait. Something wasn't right. Mint put her fantasizing to a quick halt and looked down for a moment.

"My foot. It's better?" Mint asked herself.

She wondered how it was possible. Maybe keeping it elevated really helped, or maybe it was because of her love for Rue.

"Hehe, yup, I think the power of love really does heal wounds. Ugh, when am I gonna tell him. But, how can I when he loves Claire? Claire knows about his somewhat feelings for me. But he doesn't know that she knows?" Mint wondered.

Mint came out of the bedroom and saw that she was already making breakfast.

"Morning, Claire. Where is Rue?" Mint asked.

"Oh, he says he isn't hungry this morning. You can see him after breakfast. How is your foot. I can see you are able to walk fine." Claire said.

"Oh yes. I was wondering if Rue was suspicious of what we talked about the other day?"

Claire set down some eggs and bacon in front of Mint. "Uh, no. He hasn't know anything. Are you going to talk to him about it?"

Mint nodded as she was hopeful. "But, Claire, what if he doesn't feel the same way. I'm afraid he'll love you instead of me."

Claire got angry at that comment. "It's obvious I don't love him. He's like a little brother to me."

"What should I do? I've never fallen in love with anyone before. Have you?"

Claire nodded as she was thinking back to her childhood. "I haven't really, but I remember my parents falling in love. They hugged, they touched, they would kiss each other on the cheek and even on the lips. I think the best thing they did was French kiss."

Mint looked at her. "What is French kissing?"

Claire giggled. "Well, you must act sexy enough to pull this off. It's basically tongue kissing."

Mint was deep in thought as she was thinking what it would be like to French kiss that doll.

"Hm, I wonder if dolls are born to be good kissers." Mint wondered.

Claire laughed at her comment. "It's worth a try you know."

Mint was full as she thanked Claire for the meal, and she headed outside to find Rue.

Rue slowly paced around the small, grassy knoll in front of the barn.

The grass blades reached to just about an inch above his boots. Rue himself noticed this, seeing as he was staring at the ground with unwavering attention.

Besides grass, his thoughts were on Mint. Always Mint.

It was funny, but, he was sure he felt something for Mint.

What was he saying? He'd always have some sort of feeling for Mint.

Besides Claire, who he thought as a sister, he knew that he loved that bossy and spoiled princess.

Before he met Mint, the only thing on his mind was Claire and saving her. It was hard for him after she was revived to get back to his normal life. He even realized his love for Claire was nothing more than a sibling love.

"I love Mint, don't I?" Rue whispered as he picked up a dandelion.

"Huh, you always seemed like the nature-loving kind." A voice said.

Rue's heart could have nearly jumped out of his chest if it wasn't held back by his ribs and several layers of tissue.

He swung his head around to the roof of the barn, where Mint sat. Not looking at him, and with an unresponsive look on her face.

Rue almost felt too embarrassed to ask how long she'd been sitting there.

"I...I was just picking flowers you know."

"Yeah, I always considered picking flowers to be a bit of a chore, too." Mint said, as she rolled her eyes.

"I-I mean.." Rue's foot accidentally nudged a sign of the real reason why he was outside.

A remnant of the wood that he'd chopped down yesterday. The left over logs that weren't to be used at the fireplace were to be cut into smaller pieces for Claire to use at the stove.

However, Rue always used this opportunity to get in some quick practice with his arc edge.

He decided to ignore the quick-witted princess and threw three pieces into the air.

And with three swift slashes of his blade, he promptly made the three pieces into six.

"Wow, you are strong!" Mint said. She was trying to flirt with him again.

"What I meant to say was. I'm out here to train." Rue said.

"Train? What's there to train for in a dull place like this??" Mint wondered..

"Well, I just like train that's all." Rue said.

Mint wasn't sure what to say about that.

She looked at her freshly healed foot for a short moment, and before she could even mention it to the boy, Rue broke the awkward silence between the two..

"So, uh how's your foot?"

"Oh, much better. I'm just glad I was here to rest. I think destiny made it better." Mint said.

Rue was confused what she meant by that, but didn't say anything.

Yet another awkward silence. Mint couldn't figure out why she felt so uncomfortable with it.

It was as if her mind was purposely avoiding something.

They were staring at each other for quite sometime. Mint wanted to pounce on him and kiss him, but she stood still.

"So, I guess that means you'll be leaving soon, huh?" Rue finally asked.

"Yea..." Mint said, as her heart sank. She was really gonna miss him.

"Mint...?"

"What?"

Rue lowered his head. "Have you, felt a certain way about someone before?"

Mint shut her eyes tight and shook her head for a moment, in a vain attempt to figure out if she'd just heard Rue right.

"What?" Her voice was just barely loud enough for Rue to hear her over the 9-ft. distance that separated the two.

"Have you ever been in love?" Rue's question was direct and completely no-nonsense, as if he had no time for formalities and needed an answer as soon as possible, which he did.

Mint's eyes widened as she was hoping this topic would come up.

"Are you crazy?? Who do you think you are asking me a question like that?!" Mint said, as she was thinking how to tell him her feelings.

"Forget it." Rue said, as he felt ashamed that he would ask her. It was obvious that she didn't love him.

Mint walked up to Rue and stared directly into his eyes. She was gonna tell him the truth and this would finally be it.

"Yes, yes I have."

"Look, I have no idea how I am gonna say this but-" Rue was cut off by some soft lips.

Mint just dived in and kissed him. She had her arms around his neck.

Rue closed his eyes and landed his hands on Mint's rear.

Mint wanted to French kiss him, so she took her tongue out of her mouth and started to lick his lips.

Rue didn't stop the kiss and let her do whatever she wanted to do with him.

He let her lick his lips, and he opened his mouth just a bit and Mint was able to slip her tongue in there and there they were, as their tongues touched and tasted each other's mouth.

Rue took his hands off of her rear and put them on her boobs. He was feeling them and wow she did have them.

Once Rue pulled away, they looked at each other.

"I love you. Thank you for that." Rue said.

Mint smiled as she gave him a sexy smile. "I love you too. Claire suggested that I French kiss you and it worked like a charm. Who knew you could kiss so good?"

Rue smiled and they French kissed again.

Claire looked out the window and smiled. "I am so happy for them. I can see it now, me sitting at the front row at their wedding."

Mint was happy that she sprained her foot, because now she and Rue were now together.

The end.
