True Thoughts

“Heh, yeah I guess I kinda figured that,” Pascal said hearing his confession that she knew was going to be coming.  She poked her fingers together her mind racing like always, sure she liked him but she knew this crush he had wouldn't do him good like marrying the president's daughter would.  She had heard Cheria talking about it before and seen the way he had been acting around her the past few days.  She had fallen for Hubert as well and the feelings had grown ever since he saved her at the Valkynes but she knew she was to wild to ever be a good match for him.

She was quick to fall back into her old mold running forward grabbing his hand looking up at him.  She prepared herself as she was about to crush his heart but it was for the best.

“Don't worry, Little bro,” she said softly and seriously looking into his eyes resisting the urge to blurt her true feelings out saying the first thing that came to mind, “I promise to take a bath before the ceremony!”

She pulled away turning from him placing her hands behind her head dancing a bit trying not to fall apart or let him see the truth in her eyes for now as she heard him ask, “What?”

“Hey, I totally understand!  You don't want some smelly friend stinkin' up your fancy wedding,” she said barely keeping up the charade going with the thought that came to her head, “So I'll take a bath and use soap and everything.”

She heard him getting frustrated behind her as she let him think what he really meant went straight over her head.  She couldn't bare to look at him as she let her mind go back to work even if part of it was screaming not to let him go as she pumped herself, “Okay!  Now let's see what you can do, Mecha-asbel.”

She grabbed her hammer starting to work but her wandering mind made her her hit it in the wrong spot as a casing blew up into her face.  She fell to her knees looking at it saying defeated, “Huh, It blew up!  And I'm usually so good at this kind of thing.”

She glanced to where Hubert walked off to before looking down with a sigh saying, “My mind just isn't concentrating much is it.  I'm sorry Hu...but I'm not the type of girl for you even if I wish I could be.”

She grabbed her wench going back to work trying not to let her mind wonder to the man all the while hoping she didn't crush his heart to much.
