One Sunny Day

(Stardew Valley) (Haley x Female Farmer)

Chapter 7

The pool brackets for the tournament have been completed. Elliot had shown up after all, so it resulted in it being an even 10 which makes it a hell of a lot easier to map out. The brackets are as follows:

Leah v.s Alex

Maru v.s Sebastian

Sam v.s Elliot

Haley v.s Penny

Danny v.s Abigail

“The winners of these first 5 games will go on to play each other,” I explain just in case anyone needs a refresher. They all nod their heads in understanding. Everyone except for Haley.

“We know how it works you idiot,” she snarls from across the room, still sitting on the couch. She has her arms crossed as well as her legs with a pout on her face. Everyone turns to look at her with frowns. She just shrugs, rolls her eyes and brings her hand up to her face to look at her nails.

Leah and Alex grab their pool sticks and start setting up. The rest of us kind of linger around and watch. Maru and Sam take a seat on the couch with Penny, and Abigail and Sebastian take a seat on the couch next to Haley who doesn’t seem too thrilled.

I know better than to even try to go anywhere near Haley so I kind of stand off to the side on my own… on the other side of the arcade room. I lean against the wall and cross my arms nonchalantly. Elliot must’ve pitied me because he came to stand with me after a bit.

“What did you do to Haley to make her hate you so much?” Elliot questions.

“What do you mean?”

“She has been glaring over at you since I got here. I assume it must’ve been happening before I got here too,” He replies.

I do a deep sigh before responding, “I actually have no idea. I just exist and she yells or picks on me. I don’t know what I did to deserve this. It doesn’t bother me though. She is all bark no bite,” I say while turning my head to look over at Haley on the couch, and just like Elliot said, she was glaring at me. She looked away quickly after she noticed I looked at her.

“That’s weird. She may act like she gives us all crap for existing too… but with us she is actually pretty calm. She has seemed very agitated since you’ve gotten here actually,” Elliot remarks, “But what do I know. I’m not the Haley expert out of us, you’ll have to ask Alex about her if you are curious. I barely talk to her. She kind of scares me if I’m being honest.”

“Are her and Alex… like a…” I interlock my fingers to gesture to their relationship, “thing?” I finally spit out.

“Kind of. They are very off and on with one another. One minute they are making out on that couch, the next they are angry at each other and not talking. You arrived during their ‘on’ season I guess. Except Haley has been turning down any of Alex’s advances. I’m surprised they are still ‘on’.” Elliot explains. I just nod my head along while I get the rundown.

I look back over at Haley to see what she is up to. Alex and Leah had finished their pool game so Alex is back with her on the couch. He has his arm resting on the back of the couch behind her shoulders. Almost as if he is scared to actually touch her. I don’t blame him. Haley is just staring off into the distance, not really sure at what, but as if she knew I was watching her, her eyes darted over at me.

Holding my ground and not looking away, I give her a little wink. Her face goes bright red, and she ducks back against the couch behind Alex’s torso so I can only see her bright blonde hair peeking out.

Alex had won the match up between Leah and him, so he gets to move on to play the winner of Maru and Sebastian’s match up. They seem to be halfway through their game already. I really haven’t been paying attention.

“She seems… threatened by you?” Elliot pitches in after watching the whole interaction, “or maybe jealous of you..?” His face is scrunched up as he thinks. The gears in his head are really working overtime on this one. He just shakes his head as if he gave up thinking and went back to watching the pool match.

Threatened by me? Jealous of me? I think to myself. I shrug it off and also go back to enjoying the tournament.

Sebastian ends up winning the game between him and Maru unsurprisingly since he plays against Sam and Abigail so often. I expect them to go pretty far in this tournament because of that. That means Seb and Alex play against each other in the next round.

Elliot leaves me to go and play against Sam next. I’m left standing alone once again. I go over to grab a round of beers for everyone.

“I really hope I get some good crops soon, because I’m going to need all the money I can get after this!” I holler. I get pretty loud and confident when drunk.

Everyone starts laughing and cheering as they come over to grab the beers from me. Alex brings Haley hers because she never got up. Penny and Sebastian decline the beers, so I drink Penny’s. I give away Sebastian’s to Alex since I don’t think I can drink another one.

Elliot and Sam’s game ended pretty quickly since Elliot isn’t a big fan of pool. Which means it’s now Haley and Penny’s turn. Neither of them seem like they want to be playing, but they both do it anyway to get it over with. Before Haley makes her way to the pool table, she grabs the beer out of Alex’s hand and chugs it down, not even leaving a drop. Alex just stares at her dumbfounded, but just grabs the other one I gave to him.

I loudly start clapping at Haley for her little show. Everyone seems to join in jokingly once they realize what I’m doing. I do a little cat-call whistle at her to add to the fun and she starts majorly blushing. She grabs the pool stick closest to her and gives Penny a nod.

“She really does seem friendly to everyone else,” I say to Elliot since he is back to standing with me.

“You really like to get her going I see?” Elliot says back to me as he takes a sip of his beer I brought.

“It’s fun. Someone needs to put her in her place. She can’t be rude to every new person that arrives.”

“Except that doesn’t look like teasing. It looks more like flirting to me…” Elliot trails off.

I gasp and shake my head, “That’s absolutely not what I’m doing. I would never flirt with her… she is like the last person I’d ever even flirt with. It’s not like that,” I say defensively. I have my hands up in surrender and continue to shake my head, “no way in hell.”

“Now I don’t mean to prude, but you ARE into girls I assume?” He guesses. As he says that, his voice gets a bit louder and it kind of echoes in the room. Nobody even paid attention though… so I thought.

I chuckle and nod my head. I don’t really care that Elliot asked. Everyone was going to know anyway eventually. He just took one for the team and broke the ice on that first.

“I must just radiate that energy, huh?”

Hia mouth moves to the side and nods his head in agreement, “I figured I’d take my chances with guessing.”

Haley had ended up beating Penny during their match up. They shake hands with one another and Haley gives her an empathetic smile.

“You did really well though, you almost had me there!” I overheard Haley say to Penny. Penny just smiles at her and shrugs.

“My turn!” I exclaim to Elliot.

I grab a pool stick and start setting up the table. I’ve played several times before, enough to be considered good I’d say.

“You’re going down,” Abigail taunts me.

“Let’s not be too sure about that,” I taunt back while tilting my head to the side. I push back the escaped pieces of hair from my braid and crank the white ball into the pool balls at the end of the table, causing them to explode across the table. Two solid color pool balls go into the side pockets.

“Guess you’re stripes then, Abigail,” I declare while slyly jabbing the end of my pool stick into the floor and leaning on with a bit of my weight.

“Doesn’t matter which one I am, I’ll do great either way,” she sneers playfully. At least I think it’s playful?

The rest of the game flies by since we are both nearly pros at it. Somehow, I came out on top.

“Looks like you went down,” I joked to Abigail who was standing there dumbstruck.

“Wha-? How? I didn’t know you could play so well?” She howled.

Seething with confidence and the need to embarrass myself, I take the pool stick I was leaning on and point the end of the stick towards Haley. She immediately straightens up in her seat with her eyes glued to me.

“That win was for you pretty lady,” I blew her a kiss and gave her a wink. The whole room erupted with hoots and hollers.

“Ugh as if!” She shoots up off the couch and grabs the pool stick from Abigail. She has definitely been drinking more than the one beer I brought her because she seems very tipsy. She points the end of her pool stick back at me and shouts “You’re on!”

“But that was supposed to be our game next,” Alex says with a pout.

“Alex, let them have it. There is clearly a lot of sexual tension in the room right now. They need to let it out somehow!” Sebastian laughs.

That really did it now for Haley. Her face went beat red. She got into position and whipped the pool stick at the white pool ball towards where the other pool balls set up at the end. At least that’s what we think she meant to do. Her aim was so off that the white ball ricocheted off the ledge of the pool table, popped into the air, and smacked me dead in the eye. There was so much power behind her shot that it actually did some damage.

Everyone in the room gasped and went silent. I had turned away, holding my hand up to my eye, gasping in pain and holding back tears

Haley is the first to say something. She comes running over as fast as she can. Which actually was more her just stumbling into things on her way over. I feel a gentle hand on my back and another one on my chin. She softly tilts my head over to her so she can take a look at what she had done.

I let her move my head so she can see, and I'm met with her entrancing blue eyes looking into mine. Except, only one of my eyes is able to see her. I then move my hand away from the damage.

She recoils in shock and covers her mouth with her hands.

“I’m so so so sorry. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!” She puts her hands on my shoulder and takes another look at my eye.

“You really hate me that much, huh?” I tease with a weary smile.

“I promise it was an accident! I didn’t mean to!” she has almost broken out into tears at this point, “Let me take you next door to Harvey’s or something. At least let me help?”

“I’m so sure it was only an accident. There must’ve been a bit of hate and satisfaction in that,” I tease again.

“Shut it, you. Don’t make me feel worse than I already do!” she wipes an escaped tear from her eye.

We end up calling it there and shutting down the pool tournament early.

“This isn’t over. We need to know who the Pelican Town pool champion is!” Sam exclaims.

“Don’t worry Sam, we aren’t going to erase the board, and nobody will forget you get to move on to the next round.” Leah insists.

Haley takes me by the arm and gently tugs me along. I have my hand back over my eye and still aching in immense pain.

“Gus, do you have any ice by chance?” Haley asks.

“I sure do. Emily, mind grabbing me some ice?” Gus answers. Since Emily is closest to the fridge, she goes into the freezer part and grabs a couple ice cubes. She takes a clean cloth out from behind the counter and wraps the ice into it and passes it over to Haley.

“You are so rough with people, Haley. You gotta take your anger out in some other way that doesn’t involve people.” Emily chuckles.

“Shut up Emily!” Haley sneers. She yanks the homemade ice pack from her and holds it up to my eye. I give her a little smile and go to take the ice pack from her hand to continue holding it in place. My hand lightly cups over hers as I do. Her cheeks flush their signature pink, and she slowly moves her hand out of the way so I can hold the ice.

“Harvey is asleep so you can’t go there,” Maru chimes in. The clock on the saloon wall reads 11:30 p.m.

“Right…well… I guess you have to come back to my place, Danny,” Haley says.

“I will be alright Haley. I’m a big girl, I can take care of myself,” I give her a genuine smile and soften my eyes… well… eye, “I don’t want to intrude on your night. Plus I have to be there to water my crops in the morning.”

A wave of sadness seems to wash over Haley as I say that. She sadly nods her head in agreement, “Yeah I guess you’re right. What was I thinking?”

“I’ll return the ice pack tomorrow. I swear,” I hold my pinky finger out to Gus and Emily while walking backwards to the door. Haley goes back to the arcade room with everyone else and plops right back down beside Alex. She wears a pout on her face and crosses her arms, tightly across her chest.

I yell my goodbyes to the group in the arcade from the front door and give them a goofy wave with my non-occupied hand. They all, except Haley who is pouting at the wall beside her, return the wave and from where I am standing, they are also giving sympathetic smiles.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

the invitation was sent a week ago; some receiving them by the 4th day, others already having it. Another house party. The theme? All black. "Music will be provided my Kane Brown and Restless Road. Location has been changed to the pool hall down the road from the previous location. Please dress accordingly," I sigh, "well, could be worse." "Party will start at 7p and run until 2a. Please do not drive. As a safety precaution, you will have a driver come pick you up as a dd. Be ready when they arrive. Attached below is a picture of the car and license plate number that is picking you up. DO NOT GET IN A STRANGERS CAR. If you are not dressed in accordance to theme, you will be escorted out and driven back home." "Well damn. I guess I need to get ready then."

I get a shower and wash everything from my head to my toes. I then get out and dry off, looking for something black and sexy, going trough my closet until I find my 'seriously sexy' tight black faux leather pants, putting it on over my black lace panties. I then remember I have a spaghetti strap black lack crop-top so I put that on over my nipple covers. Knowing it was cool outside, I grab my black leather jacket and put it on.

Next was jewelry; I grabbed my gold chain necklace with a heart on it and put it on. For the final look, I grab my favorite smelling perfume and spray it all on me. I make sure I have everything before heading downstairs to wait for the driver.

♡

The driver came and picked me up and drove about 20 minutes until we pulled up and I got out. We were each given a number to hold onto, to know what car to get into.

By the time I went to the door and my outfit was approved, the music started, hearing everything from the bass to the drums, filling everyones ears with pure enjoyment. I open the second set of double-doors and walk in, my eyes scanning the entire room until they land on the band playing in the far left corner. I recognize the song as 'What Ifs' by KB & LA. I grab a quick drink from the bartender then make my way to the dance floor. I sway my hips back and forth to the beat as I casually sip on my drink, enjoying the song. They finish that one and play another one that I'm unfamiliar with, but I enjoy enjoy listening to. Kane's sitting on a stool with a mic stand in front of him.

They finish the song and say their taking a short 10 minute break. I walk by the stairs as i head to the bartender, and see a sign hanging in front saying 'upstairs off limits for party guests. will only be used by band and employees.' "Damn," I thought to myself as I grab another drink and head to an empty pool table and start playing by myself. I rack the balls then grab the cue and position it in front of the others.

I find a good pool-stick and take my first shot. It hits and balls fly everywhere on the table, as two solid balls pocket themselves—#3 & #7—on different sides of the table. As i line up my next shot, I hear a voice behind me say "nice shot, but be a little more heavy handed next time." I turn around and see Kane standing a few inches away, sipping on a beer. He wearing his infamous black jeans with a few holes, along with a green plaid shirt, a watch and his 'miracle' hat. His sleeves are rolled up just under his elbow, showing off all his tattoos. "Oh yeah? Then why don't you come over here and show me how to do it?" He sets his beer down and grabs the poolstick from my hand and lines up a shot, hitting it with a little force and the yellow #1 pockets in the side.

"Give me back my pool stick." I go to grab it, but he yanks it back, earning him a groan from me. "After I finishing playing my set, we're playing a few games to see who's better. Deal?" I roll my eyes, "and what does the winner get?" "The winner makes the loser follow them around and do whatever they tell them to." Kane sticks his hand out and I shake it a few seconds later. He goes to set up for the rest of the songs, and I play until all balls have been pocketed, and walk over to wait for the band to continue.

As they start up the next song, I down the rest of my drink and set it to the side. They play a sad song, then play a song I instantly recognize as 'like a rodeo'. This is the first time I'm hearing the acoustic version. It gets me in the mood to sway my hips to the beat and flip my hair back and forth. I close my eyes as I let myself feel the bass in my veins and dance to lyrics.

I've drunk two & ½ beers during their set and he says their playing the last song for the night, but a dj will be taking over until 2a. The song? Lose it. Love it.

The way he's singing and showing off his tattoos got my heart fluttering so bad. The violin guy knows what he's doing. So effortless but yet so smooth. The song comes to a close and he sings the final lyrics, "girl I lose it, yeah I lose it" and everyone erupts into applause and hollers. I see he look my way and moves his eyes to the pool tables, then walks off stage. I take my time following him until he stops in front of the 'no party guests' sign then sighs, "fuck. I forgot about that. Hang on a sec." I nod my head and step to the side while I wait for him to return.

He walks to the party-thrower owner and talks to him about letting me go up with him, and eventually nodding his head. Kane walks back over to me with the biggest shit-eatting grin I've seen since arriving a few hour beforehand. "Let me guess, you had to say you wanted to invite me upstairs with you to play pool just for me to be able to go past the sign?" "Yeah, but after we play a few games, you have to come back down here. We do have a time limit of an hour, though." I smile and finish my drink then say, "that's plenty of time for me to whoop your ass in pool." "I guess we'll see. Come on." He moves the sign to side then puts it back after we walk up.

He says he has a special table he likes to play on. We walk farther and I see an all-decked-out, totally customized red and black pool table. I whistle in appreciation of the color and look over at Kane, who is already grabbing his also customized pool stick, ready for anything. "Okay, Kane. I see you. But you gon' be in trouble once i'm done with you." I put my stuff to the side and grab a purple & black stick and get it ready. We do rock, paper & scissors to see who goes first and just out of luck, Kane wins. "Hell yeah!" He lines up his shot, pulls the stick back and lets go as the cue ball hits the others and they scatter across the table, but sadly none pocket.

I smile and look at the table then ask Kane, "do you have a preference on solids or stripes?" "Well, I normally go for stripes but," "okay!" I find the 9ball and hit it straight in. "You really had to do that?" I nod my head, "oh yeah. Anything to win. Step back," I see the striped 11 directly in front of him, so I set it up, pushing my ass back as far as I can without him noticing—knowing he's getting an eye full right now—as I pull back the cue stick, and let it hit, watching the ball go directly in the corner pocket.

I stand up and turn to Kane saying with a smirk, "I guess you won't get to play. Thats too bad," I turn back around and find another ball, pot that one and one more, before I miss the next one. I guess Kane does get to play. Damn.

He sets his sights on the two solid balls by the corner—#1 & #4—eventually deciding on #4 and pockets it in the corner, then pocketing the #1 on the other side. While he sets up another ball, he starts making small talk, bringing up conversation about my outfit.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what made you decide to wear that spaghetti strap shirt?" "I don't know, I bought it a year ago and only wore it twice, so I guess I wanted to just, let it out again. It's really comfortable, and along with these faux leather pants, it just goes so well together. I added the jacket just in case it gets cold." He pockets his third ball, but misses the fourth ball. I pocket my fifth & sixth ball, but miss the seventh.

"You know, that plaid shirt looks good with you black undershirt & ripped pant. And especially good with all those tattoos your showing off." The second I say that second sentence, he misses and I see him squeeze his eyes, but smile. "You just said that so I'd miss, didn't you?" "Maybe, maybe not. You'll never know."

I stand in front of the #15 ball and as I hit it, Kane decides to cough, making the ball hit the side. I stand up and turn to him, getting right up in his face saying, "you did that in revenge, didn't you?" He shrugs his shoulder, "maybe, maybe not. You'll never know. Now if you'll excuse me, it's my turn." I close my eyes and step to the side as he steps up the the table and in turn, pockets all his balls in except for the #7. "My turn." I make sure my ass is on full display as I pocket the #15 and go to set up the #8, but miss by ½ an inch. "Damn it." I hear him laugh from behind me and stands on the other side of the table, facing me then says, "don't worry, I won't hurt you too bad."

He hits his seventh and as he goes to set up the eight ball, I slowly walk to around the table, stopping beside him, feeling up his tattoos, walking behind him and stopping on the other side, as I sit on pool table, making sure he's looking in my eyes then whisper "you miss this, and you won't ever see me again, get to touch me or even kiss me, ever," in his ear and step back, never loosing eye contact. He takes his shot, and watches as the eight ball rolls and perfectly pockets in the middle.

Knowing that we've been up here for well over an hour, he grabs my hand and pulls me downstairs with him, talking the the band about spending some personal quality time by himself and with me, and eventually getting the keys to their hotel room.

I smile as we get in his dd's car and he takes us the the hotel. During the drive, he starts kissing every inch of me from collarbone, my neck and my jaw, up to my lips, making out until we reach our destination. We thank him and went inside to the elevator and continued our kissing until the elevator stops on level 8, both of us stepping out and walking down the hall until we stop at the door.

Kane looks me in my eyes and asks me a question, "are you sure you want to do this? We don't have to but it's up to you..." I look at him, and bite my lip, "i....,"
