"Oh, I get it. I will do my best!!" Mayumi got to work on collecting clovers and Amelia sat there slowly picking the ones that were near her body and then she started the crown and quickly. She got halfway and saw that Mayumi was watching her work and kept placing her clovers in the pile. "You will need your clovers. I will teach you. I just thought you would take a while to collect them." "No, Uncle said that Auntie should not move. I will collect the covers for Auntie." Mayumi kept picking the clovers and adding them to the pile.
Amelia giggled, "You silly girl. I will let you collect them." Amelia doesn"t touch the growing pile and continues to pick what they would need. She got to the end. "Mayumi, come here for a moment." She lifted the crown to Mayumi"s head and tied it off. "There you go. One clover crown just for you!"
Mayumi squealed and jumped up and down. "Eeeeeeee. It is so pretty. Thank you, thank you, thank you soooooooo much, Auntie! I love it. You are the bestest!"
"Come and sit. We will make one for Sara, Miyuki, and Itsuki." Amelia felt Mayumi sit in her lap and the two worked together making the three crowns.
Gabriel took the flowers and walked back to the house and placed them just on the inside of her bedroom. He looked at the blue lilies he picked and took off his shoes and ran to his room. He opened the door and ran to the closet sliding the door open. He pulls out a box and takes it out of the closet and opens it up, selecting the pale blue ribbon before he runs out of his room back to Amelia"s running and putting his shoes back on. He picked up the blue lilies and started to weave them together. Once the crown was made she started to climb the hill and wrap the ribbon around the weave securing everything in place. He walked up the hill and saw that Miyuki and Itsuki were double-checking the flower pile and Itsuki was very serious and making sure every flower was perfect.
"You are back Gabriel? We are all done collecting the flowers we needed." Miyuki looked at the flower crown in his hands and nodded her head. "You are very creative, Gabriel."
"Are they both still over that way?" Gabriel looked at where he left her then back at Miyuki. Once he saw her nod he walked all the way over to the girls. As he got closer he could hear Mayumi"s giggles along with Amelia"s laughter. He came up behind Amelia and placed the lily crown on her head. "What are you two lovelies doing over here still?"
Mayumi looked up at Gabriel, then at the crown of flowers on Amelia"s head. "Auntie got such a beautiful flower crown!"
Amelia lightly touched the flower crown and blushed. "I am sorry we didn"t make a clover crown for you."
"That is okay. All I need is your love. Do you want to see how it looks? I will pull it off gently." Gabriel smiled and saw her nod so he complied and took it off her head. He lowered it so that she could see that the stems were covered by a pale blue ribbon and was tied in an elegant bow.
Amelia touched the lily and smiled at Gabriel. "There is still a lot that we need to learn about each other. YOu did a remarkable job." She lowered her head and waited to feel the crown back on her head.
Gabriel placed the crown back on her head and looked at the crowns that were complete. "It seems that we do. I am surprised that you made so many so fast."
"Well, after you left Mayumi took the task of collecting the clovers. She didn"t want me to move around so I made the first crown on my own as she made a big pile of clovers. She placed them all here and then she sat in my lap and we made the three crowns that you see on the ground together." She patted Mayumi"s head and they finished the last crown.
"We did it! Ha ha ha ha!" Mayuki held up the last crown. She raced towards Itsuki and placed the crown on his head.
Amelia slowly got up and smiled. "I wished that I had the energy of that child. She is so carefree. It is really lovely." She got a little light-headed and leaned on Gabriel.
Gabriel held her as she leaned on him. "I will be there to support you when you need it. Once the dizziness pa.s.ses, let"s head back so that you can rest. If you need breaks let me know and we will stop along the path or I can carry you."
"Okay, I will let you know. I think I did well getting up here but getting down will take a lot out of me. I will let you know when I need to rest." Amelia stepped back and started to walk across the field of flowers. She stopped and looked back at Gabriel. She held out her hand to him.
Gabriel watched as Amelia got into the field, then stood there holding out her hand towards him. He raced towards her. Gabriel lifted her up and spun her around. Catching her off guard and he could hear her sweet giggles. I fell back on the flowers and took her down with me but he made sure that she did not get hurt any way possible. He pulled her down and kissed her on the lips and smiled up at her. "I caught you, I will never let you go."
Amelia gigged then felt him kiss her. She kissed him back and pulled up slightly. "You have caught me, now I belong solely to you. Do you think that there will be rumours that I got kicked from school?"
