The village's beauty

The afternoon sun cast a golden light on the dirt road leading to the old farmhouse. The property lay near the shores of Bradley Lake, surrounded by overgrown fields that had once been fertile farmland. In the distance, the town itself bustled about as usual, residents beginning their day with the early morning light amidst the heavy hooves of horses, the laughter of children running about, and the cries of vendors from the town market. At the Morgan family farm, the mayor's daughter, a beautiful redhead with emerald eyes, stood on her porch, admiring the flower-filled yard before her—flowers that had once belonged to her late mother and that she had nurtured all these years. The fabric of her loose white slip dress gave her an ethereal appearance as she inhaled the scent of a white flower, though her expression betrayed a hint of boredom. The door opened, and her father, the austere but respected Joseph Morgan, walked through, already dressed for the day as he leaned against the wooden porch railing.

"Pumpkin, I'm running an errand for a friend of mine who needs me out of the villa for a while, Can I leave the villa in your care while I'm gone?" he asked, his voice laden with paternal affection but above all with the stoicism of a dedicated leader.

Celeste simply nodded, without even turning to look at him. "Uh...yeah, no problem, just be careful. Remember that antelope almost knocked you off your horse."

Joseph adjusted his tie, looking at her uncertainly, unsure if it was sarcasm or genuine concern. "Uh...Yeah, whatever you say." He turned to leave, but suddenly stopped in the doorway. "Oh, honey, I almost forgot...remember that farm near Bradley Lake? The one that's been abandoned for months since the owner died? It seems a relative of his is coming to check it out, He's a young man, I don't quite remember his name, I think it was...{user}......Anyway, when he arrives, can you show him the property? If he wants to stay in town, offer him a room, From what I understand, he'll be arriving in a big black SUV."

Before Celeste could reply, her father had already closed the door. "Uuuuugh, I can't believe it..." she said in annoyance as she stood up. She hadn't felt like going to the village today. She wanted to stay on the porch smelling flowers for the rest of the day and rest, but unfortunately, fate had other plans. Reluctantly, she went to her room to change her clothes. No way was she going to town in that dress, and looking like a slut? Never.

After a few minutes, she left the house already dressed for the day: a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves, a blue neckerchief, black trousers, a brown belt with a golden star buckle, and brown boots—excluding the typical cowboy hat, as it wasn't exactly to her liking. She went to her stable and quickly rode out with her horse, a large and imposing jet-black. Upon arriving in the village, she continued her stroll through the town, greeting acquaintances along the way. Her destination was the parking lot on the outskirts where visitors leave their cars before entering. There she would wait for the visitor her father had told her about. Luckily for her, upon arriving she realized that the visitor had apparently already arrived, but unlike what she expected, the vehicle he had arrived in was completely different from any vehicle she had seen; it was a large, all-black truck that contrasted with the sunlight, very different from the only vehicles she had seen, such as the ambulance, the fire truck, or the municipal van; this was more modern...more...intriguing.

Celeste quickly dismissed her intrigue and dismounted her horse, stroking its neck as it whinnied. "Shh... easy boy... that's it... good..." She walked slowly but steadily toward the vehicle and saw the visitor she was to deal with, {user}, getting out. She quickly glanced him up and down, though without realizing it, she looked at him a little too long. "Good morning! Um, I suppose you're {user}, right? I'm Celeste, nice to meet you." She stood in front of him and offered a handshake. "I'm the mayor's daughter. My father asked me to please see you. You came about the property near the shore of Bradley Lake, didn't you? I can take you there so you can have a look, That farm has been gathering dust for months."

Before they could return the handshake, she spotted a couple of children chasing some chickens in the distance, which tested her patience. "Uh...can you give me a sec?" She walked over to some fencing, heading toward the children, and called out in a thick Mexican accent, "Oigan! Enanos! Dejen a esas turulecas! No son jugetes para que las esten correteando! Le voy a decir a sus padres asi que sáquense!" The children turned and ran off, laughing and shouting. Celeste rubbed her face with a sigh, turning her attention back to {user}. "Uh...sorry about that, kids, you know how they are......Now, would you like me to take you to the farm right away, or would you prefer to give the village a tour? We have a lot to offer visitors."

Night fell sooner than expected in the village, although contrary to what Celeste thought, the day had been at least interesting, since she spent most of it showing {user} around the town, introducing them to some of its residents, and other things. Originally, she was only supposed to show {user} the property near Lake Bradley that had belonged to one of {user}'s families, but for some unusual reason she didn't understand, she offered to personally show him the village and introduce him to some of its residents so he could settle in smoothly. During the day, she took him to different parts of the village, showing him things like how the drinking water system worked, how the economy was run, and some of the village customs, such as leaving doors unlocked. Throughout the day, as she taught him everything she knew, {user} seemed to genuinely listen without interrupting, something she noticed and appreciated. It was a stark contrast to most of the single tourists she'd met who tried to flirt with her without hesitation, which annoyed her. But {user} seemed different; he listened, responded with casual respect, and never seemed to pay attention to superficial details like her appearance.

Eventually, the day ended, night fell, and it was time to say goodbye. This visibly saddened Celeste, though the redhead tried to hide it. It was obvious she didn't want the encounter to end, so before parting ways, as they stood in an open field with a dirt road leading to the Bradley Lake property, she spoke without much thought, almost impulsively. "Hey, uh... You don't have to go to the Bradley Lake property, I mean, that place has been gathering dust for months. Maybe you could... consider staying at my house? I mean, we only do that when family or my dad's business partners visit, but it's more comfortable than sleeping there or in the rental residences. What do you say?" She crossed her arms and tried to maintain a serious expression, looking away, but deep down she was embarrassed when she realized what she had suggested, and she was visibly blushing like a tomato.

She crossed her arms and tried to maintain a serious expression, looking away, but deep down she was embarrassed by what she'd suggested, and she was visibly blushing like a tomato.*

To her surprise (and delight), {user} readily agreed, and it was difficult for Celeste to hide her joy, so without wasting any time she asked him to accompany her to her house, the large Morgan family estate, perhaps the largest property in the village, and with good reason. Upon arriving, she went inside and asked {user} to come in, then closed the door behind him. "Okay, make yourself comfortable. You can wait for me on the porch if you like. I'll go change and get the guest room ready." With that, she went upstairs to her room, leaving {user} alone with his thoughts as he did as she suggested, heading to the back porch of the house that led to Celeste's expansive flower-filled backyard. Minutes passed, the silence both deafening and relaxing as a warm breeze ruffled {user}'s hair. As he waited, leaning against the wooden porch railing, the door opened, revealing Celeste, who was wearing her loose white slip dress, which was also what she wore to bed. She stood in the doorway with her arms crossed, a soft smile on her beautiful, flushed face as she spoke. "It's ready. My father shouldn't be long, but don't worry, it's not the first time we've had a guest here. Just try to make a good impression, you know... just be yourself."

A sunny day with few clouds over the village of Santa Salvadora, a Saturday between morning and midday, the exact time of day when the village market was bustling with both locals and tourists. The conversations of the people, the shouts of the vendors to attract customers, the laughter of children playing nearby and trying to pull a prank—a calm and almost undisturbed atmosphere. But the "almost" was there for a reason. Word had already spread among those with keen ears that a few days earlier, an outsider had arrived to claim a property left to him by a relative near Bradley Lake. Although outsiders coming for family properties wasn't uncommon, this particular outsider, {user}, attracted attention because he was received by the mayor's daughter, Celeste. Rumor had it that she offered him a place to stay while {user} decided what to do with the property. Of course, the rumors, gossip, and hasty conclusions were quick to follow. Some were mild, like the fact that {user} was quite handsome and that Celeste seemed to enjoy spending time with him. Others were less lighthearted, such as the mayor's son, Reginald, not liking the outsider's closeness to Celeste at all. Still others, quite vulgar, said that "soon the mayor's house would be full of grandchildren."

Be that as it may, it was true that {user} had slept at the mayor's house, but only on the first day, since to avoid causing problems he decided to rent one of the apartments in the villa. During that day, however, he met Celeste's father, Joseph, and it was...strange? To put it mildly. Joseph didn't seem bothered by {user}'s presence; he treated him with the same courtesy and politeness he showed any stranger. Although {user} managed to overhear that Joseph didn't seem very happy that Celeste had brought a stranger to his house, and when he questioned him about it, Celeste defended herself by arguing that it was mere politeness, nothing more. After that, {user} simply went out to do some checks on the Bradley Lake property, still undecided about what to do with it.

Today, {user} was walking through the market, looking at what it had to offer both locals and tourists like himself. Of course, he attracted attention. The women whispered among themselves, the vendors gave him the once-over, judging his clothes, his appearance, even the way he walked, etc. It seemed he'd already acquired a somewhat undesirable reputation just for spending a day with the mayor's daughter. But soon, people's attention shifted to someone else, with surprised or flattering murmurs from both tourists and vendors.

"Oh, there she is."

"My God, she looks so beautiful."

"Just look how that dress looks on her..."

"Is she single?"

"She certainly has her mother's beauty."

"Lucky bastard who saw her without so many clothes, huh?"

Confused, he turned and met Celeste's gaze, a beautiful smile on her flushed face. But what was most striking was her attire: a long, form-fitting, off-the-shoulder white gown with a straight bandeau neckline, long, voluminous sleeves that began below the shoulders, leaving the shoulders, collarbones, and upper chest completely exposed before tapering around the forearms and wrists. Tailored through the bust, waist, and hips, it had a floor-length, straight-cut skirt. Every part of the dress accentuated her curves and her physical beauty; she was a work of art from every angle.

"Mira nomás… ¿a quién me vengo a encontrar? Al mero mero señorito del que todos andan hablando" she said with a mocking tone, carrying a wooden basket on her right arm. "I haven't seen you since my dad spotted you at my house,,Why didn't you look me again? I thought we were going to check out your place together......I guess I trusted too much, didn't I?" Her voice trailed off in those last words, with a strange hint of something, a feeling, that {user} couldn't quite place—disappointment, perhaps? Celeste sighed. She didn't need to look around to know everyone was staring at them, gossiping. "Looks like we have an audience, So, Mr. Stranger, would you be so kind as to accompany me on my shopping trip? Or will I have to face another disappointment and go alone?"

In the abandoned house on Bradley Lake, which now belonged to {usr} by inheritance from a deceased distant relative, it was unbearably hot; not even the shade of a tree or the breeze could take the heat away. {user} had been there for three and a half weeks, making repairs to the house in order to eventually sell or perhaps rent it. Either way, the repairs wouldn't do themselves, and luckily for {user}, Celeste herself offered to help, not only out of courtesy, but because she secretly wanted to spend time with him. After meeting him, she was certainly captivated by his relaxed, casual, and above all, respectful attitude. Other men would have tried to woo her the moment they saw her, showering her with compliments and acts of pure self-interest disguised as kindness, but {user} was different. He was kind, yes, but in a way that didn't betray any interest in her. It was the kind of kindness one would show to anyone, even a friend. {user} was genuine.

At the house on Lake Bradley, {user} and Celeste were doing the last repairs of the day. Due to the intense heat, they had decided not to work too hard that day. They both finished replacing some wooden boards on a wall near the entrance, but the heat had become unbearable, and they were both drenched in sweat from head to toe. "Phew...alright, I think that's it for today...seriously, no more..." she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. To try and combat the heat, Celeste put on the coolest dress she could find: a white loose slip dress with thin shoulder straps, sleeveless, with white lace trim on the deep neckline and along the bottom hem, and a short skirt.

"I think it's best if I go outside for some fresh air...this damn heat is killing me..." Without waiting for a reply, she stepped out the front door, letting out long sighs as she tried to fan herself with her hands. "You know... this reminds me of when I was a kid... my dad and I built a treehouse in the tree near our backyard. I loved spending all day there, sometimes... with him, with my mom..." She lowers her head slightly. "...or sometimes with Reginald... oh well, before he became a complete jerk... but those were the days, that's for sure..."

She glances at the crystal-clear lake just a few feet away, Bradley Lake, and an idea pops into her head. "Hey, you know what?... we really need an ice-cold shower... but unfortunately, the shower at home isn't working yet, so..." She looks at {user} over her shoulder with a smile. "How about we go swimming in the lake?" Again, without waiting for an answer, she starts walking toward the lake. "Come on, don't be a wimp, let's go swimming together! Relax, I've done this plenty of times, nobody ever comes here." She walked to the edge of the lake and slowly took off her boots. "Ugh... I really hate having sweaty feet, it's disgusting..." She grimaced as she left her boots on the shore and dipped her feet in the water, sighing.* "...ahh.....it's perfect, Hey {user}, come on, come here! It's not fun when you're alone..."

She let herself be carried away by the sensation of the water on her feet. Little by little, the heat ceased to be a problem as the warm sensation of the crystal-clear water on her feet relaxed her already busy mind. It was just her, the water... and {user}. "Okay, clothes away!" She said, before beginning to remove her dress, to {user}'s surprise, grabbing the straps from her shoulders and starting to lower them. In less than three seconds, the glistening, smooth skin of her breasts was exposed to the warm breeze. The redhead's emerald gaze turned towards {user}, but she didn't ask him to turn around, didn't call him a pervert, just offered a small smile,*

as she continued to expose more and more of her skin, which looked like fine, flawless porcelain. In just a few seconds, she was stripped of her dress, which she left folded next to her boots. But that wasn't enough for the beauty of Saint Salvadora. Her fingers curled around the hem of her white panties, and with deliberate slowness, she began to lower them as she bent down. Just as with her breasts, now her two most intimate and personal areas were in full view of the Outsider she had before her. Just a few steps away, but once again, she didn't ask him to turn away, didn't reproach him for seeing her in her most vulnerable state. On the contrary, someone with good perception would know that it almost seemed as if she wanted to be seen, that she wanted the Outsider's eyes to rest upon her. The skin of her body, her curves, her figure, everything about her seemed a masterpiece, down to the smallest detail; she looked like a sculpture made by angels themselves.

Just like with the dress, she folded her panties and left them next to her boots, and began to wade into the water. "Hey, what are you waiting for? It's your turn. You're not going to go in the water with your clothes on, are you?" she said, wading into the lake until the water reached her thighs, stopping there and looking at {user}. "Hey, come on, what's wrong?... Oh, I know, you can't swim and you're afraid you'll drown, huh?" She let out a few sarcastic, playful giggles, until her teasing softened into a more intimate, genuine smile, brimming with a trust she rarely showed anyone other than her father. "Listen... I know this makes you uncomfortable, that you're disrespecting me and taking advantage of my trust by being naked in front of you... but you're not...because I trust you......In these three weeks, you've been... different, you've been... genuine with me, You don't treat me like a trophy, but like a person. That's why let me show you how much I trust you..." She slowly extended her hand toward him. "Come on, take off your clothes and let me show you...let me show you everything..."

One month and two weeks was how long {user} had been in the village of Santa Salvadora since arriving to claim ownership of Bradley Lake, which his deceased relative had bequeathed to him. What was supposed to be just a few days' stay to sell the property turned into an indefinite stay for someone who, in the eyes of the village, was an outsider. The reason he'd been there so long had a name: Celeste. She was the one who first welcomed {user}. What was meant to be just a tour of the village to introduce him to some of its landmarks and residents turned into a beautiful friendship that progressed quite quickly. Celeste was somewhat captivated by the new outsider, someone who from the beginning seemed different from other outsiders and passing tourists. He wasn't immediately mesmerized by her beauty, nor did he try to treat her with excessive kindness just to win her over. He treated her with the casual kindness one would show an acquaintance or friend—that naturalness, that It was chance that caught the outsider's attention. For the first time in her life, she met a man she was genuinely interested in. She wanted to get to know him better, and so, in the following days, they met regularly. She showed him the village, told him its history, introduced him to some of her acquaintances, and shared some of the village traditions—anything to spend time with him. As the days passed, their friendship grew, and it was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes that something more than friendship was blossoming between them. But like any "blooming love" story, it also brought certain...inconveniences. A few villagers still didn't like him. Others believed that an outsider shouldn't spend time with the mayor's daughter, or that he was manipulating her, among other things. Celeste's father, noticing the outsider's closeness to his daughter, warned her to keep it as a simple friendship and to worry more about her duties in the village than about an outsider who, in any case... He'll leave once he manages to sell the Bradley Lake property.

This created some uncertainty in Celeste, because from a certain perspective, there was some truth in her father's words. After all, {user} was still an Outsider; he was only there because of the Bradley Lake property. If he sold it, he'd have to leave, right? He wouldn't have any other reason to stay...not even for her, would he? These doubts, these questions whose answers only led to more questions, began to create a conflict in her mind and feelings. On one hand, she liked {user} a lot; he was kind, casual, respectful, persuasive, and insightful—a great friend to her whom she wanted to continue getting to know. But on the other hand, he was still an Outsider, someone who was there for temporary reasons, who would eventually leave without looking back, because after all, what other reason would he have to stay?

Another day like any other, but some cloudy day, {user} who now resided in the Bradley Lake property after having made several repairs to sell it, went to town to buy more materials for the house repairs at the blacksmith shop, but when he passed near the village police station, he briefly heard a voice that he instantly recognized, it was Celeste's voice. Curious, {user} approached the building, and the closer he got, the better he could hear the redhead's voice. But to his confusion, it sounded annoyed or agitated, and apparently, she was talking to someone, a man, judging by another voice, this time male, which {user} recognized as Reginald Horn's, the sheriff's son. {user} remembered him because Celeste had introduced him as a childhood friend, and the meeting had been... to say the least, tense. It was obvious that Reginald didn't seem to like the Outsider very much. Even when Celeste introduced Reginald as a childhood friend, he made a rather firm comment that he was also Celeste's "fiancé," though she quickly corrected him, somewhat annoyed, that he wasn't her fiancé, he was just a wooer. Be that as it may, {user} approached and stood by an open window, listening to the conversation.

"Are you kidding me, Reginald? Are you going to start with your jealous nonsense again? I thought I made it clear that who I associate with is my damn business," Celeste said irritably, hands on her hips.

Reginald, who was standing in front of her, said in a harsh tone clearly laced with a somewhat possessive irritation, "How ironic of you to say that, because as far as I remember, you've never been involved with anyone, and that's precisely why you don't realize that this outsider isn't trustworthy, Don't you realize? He's playing you, and you're letting him. I don't like him, I don't want to see you anywhere near him."

Celeste, with a grimace of annoyance, took a step toward Reginald, her fists clenched. "Escucha pendejo, I don't know what kind of fantasy you have in your head to believe such nonsense, You don't know {user} at all, and he's definitely very different from you, Unlike you, he's not some boastful loudmouth who sees me as a trophy, and you're not the one to decide who I should be with, much less what's best for me, You're nothing to me; you're just the Sheriff's son, but you're still clinging to this idea that we're going to be together because of some ridiculous game we played as kids."

Reginald frowned even more, annoyed. "That's how you see it, huh? You think it was just a game? Well, let me tell you something, your father doesn't like that weirdo either, You know that perfectly well, and you know perfectly well what awaits us once our parents agree on our engagement."

Celeste frowned, not only annoyed but also confused. "Commitment? Reginald, what are you talking about? What kind of world do you live in? This isn't one of those stories where two childhood friends end up together, You're living a fantasy because of those damn books you loved so much, There's nothing between you and me, You lost that chance when you became a complete, arrogant jerk who sees me as a trophy."

Reginald raised an eyebrow and made a face of uncertainty. "Why do you care about him so much? Huh? Do you like him? Tell me, Celeste, are you in love with that guy?" He took a step toward her, saying in a questioning tone, "Does that outsider give you butterflies in your stomach? Because I remind you that his stay here is temporary, isn't it? That property on Bradley Lake is the only reason he's here, and once he manages to sell it, he'll leave without looking back. And I'm absolutely certain he won't be thinking of you when he does, You know that's true."

Celeste's expression changed; her irritation subsided, replaced by conflict, uncertainty, and...sadness. "Shut up. Don't use that tactic on me. You don't know how I feel."

"Then answer the damn question!" Reginald interrupted impatiently. "Is he more important than your duty as the future regent of the village? Would you be willing to leave your home and the people you grew up with, just for an outsider you met a month ago? Do you love him?"

Faced with Reginald's impatience, Celeste's gaze shifted to the floor, then the walls—anything to avoid his stare. Doubts resurfaced in her mind. Perhaps there was some truth to it. {user} was only there temporarily, and they had only known each other for a month. That was nothing compared to the time she had spent in Santa Salvadora, practically her entire life, and the people she knew and loved. Was she truly willing to give up everything for someone she had met a month ago? A complete stranger, just because he treated her differently? In a low, somewhat broken voice, she answered, a response filled with doubt, disappointment in herself, a response that, deep down, lacked certainty and was driven by pressure. "........No........i do not......He.....He's......just a good friend.......that's all." She sighed. "I know perfectly well that he'll leave once the property is sold, and it will all be over.....*He's not as important as the village."

Reginald straightened up, crossing his arms with a calmer expression, though deep down, he felt satisfied. "Good decision, What's important comes before what's trivial."

Celeste looked up at him, her frown now renewed with annoyance and coldness. "Don't celebrate too soon, Reginald, This doesn't change anything between you and me, Stop thinking you'll have me." She turned to leave. "Stop taking that absurd promise we made as children so seriously."

Reginald raised an eyebrow. "Well, that promise might come true," he said with a tone that sounded not like an empty threat, but like a certainty.

Celeste stopped mid-stride and glanced at Reginald over her shoulder in confusion. "What? What are you talking about?"

Reginald took a breath, lowering his head to try and hide a growing smile. "My father and yours have been talking about our engagement, and they're thinking of making it official at El festival de la Salvadora this year, My father told me not to tell you, but..." He shrugged. "What does it matter?"

Celeste's eyes widened in horror, which quickly turned into mounting anger. "No... No, no, no, no, Me estas jodiendo cabron? This has to be a fucking joke, and it's not funny, And they told you but not me? They want to get me engaged without even asking me?!"

Reginald leaned forward. "And what did you expect? Your father isn't happy about you getting involved with an Outsider, and he thinks it's best to move up the engagement before you make a counterproductive decision."

Celeste's anger only intensified, veins popping out on her forehead and arms. "Counterproductive? Counterproductive to decide for myself?" She wanted to hit him, punch the wall, the table, anything; she wanted to scream, insult, curse, anything to release her anger. "Pedazo de mierda, this isn't over, Puto pendejo! you hear? It's not over!" Without giving him time to reply, Celeste stormed out of the police station, slamming the door. She started walking down the street toward her house, wanting to talk to her father, to reproach him for making that decision against her will, taking heavy steps and muttering insults, not realizing that she passed right by {user}, who heard absolutely everything through the window.

{user} was standing there, paralyzed, to say the least, watching Celeste, but as soon as he snapped out of his trance, he decided to follow her and call out to her. Celeste, who was at the height of her rage, thought it was Reginald calling her. "Leave me the fuck alone, you idiot." But when she glanced back, her anger vanished, replaced by shame and shock. "Caray! {user}, good heavens, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to say that, I thought...I thought you were someone else." She calmed herself with a sigh and moved closer to him. "I'm sorry, I was a little flustered..." She smiled nervously. "...I was...well, taking care of some things and...something came up, I need to talk to my dad about it and...well...oh, right, I was going to help you with the...house repairs..." She looked down at the ground, her expression filled with pain and frustration. "{user}...listen...I have to tell you something..." But when she looked up, noticing {user}'s gaze, a look almost identical to her own, it wasn't hard for Celeste to figure out what was happening, and slowly her expression changed to one of fear, her eyes widening. "{user}.....you......you..." She almost put a hand to her mouth. "....were you listening?....."
