Fruit Basket Ox Novels & Stories

Marcus's face darkened, feeling somewhat uneasy. Phyllis looked at Mr. Marcus, hesitated for a moment, and calmly said, "Sapote, also known as the fruit of desire. In other words, it's a love fruit that can stir up desires in people. Do you understand?" "Damn, what kind of weird stuff is this?" Mr. Marcus couldn't help but curse. This was too eerie. No wonder there was a sickeningly sweet smell to it.

LUNA POV The cold breeze welcomes me as I went out of the house today. The weather is fine and it invites me to have a walk outside. I saw Mrs. Fox coming with a basket in her hands. "What's that Mrs. Fox?" "Oh, dear, these are oranges, apples, and some bananas. There are fruit trees near the place. You might want some," she offered. I nodded and she gave me an orange. My eyes spark with joy as I look at the orange. I peel the orange and pull the orange segments then eat.

She replied, gasping for air. "Here, I brought some fruits" She heard and turned to see Austin, holding a basket. "Leave now!" She replied, getting angry but her tummy grumbled and she so much hungered for fruits. "I'll leave you two for some time" Lucile asserted and walked away. Austin walked close to her and dropped the basket on the floor. He brought out a cloth and spread it on the floor. He opened the basket and brought out some oranges, apples, watermelon and peaches.

and the baked goods didn't hurt. He stepped into the shop on one pretty spring day holding his carton filled to almost overflowing with baked goods. Juicy had just given him a nice haircut and it was that unruly chaotic look that came from staying up all night or from paying loads of money to a good hair stylist. He was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt that advertised a chain hardware store, yet he looked super sexy.

The aunty had the friendliest smile he had ever seen in his life. "Just 2." "That will be 2 Libras mi child," Xasha paid the aunty and collected the fruits. "Thank you, aunty." "Alright, tek care mi child." The couple continued on their journey, chatting and eating their Bleeding Heart Fruits. They were called that because they were shaped like hearts and the juices inside were as red as blood.

The words came out a little too fast and I realised I was smiling, my chin lifting a bit as pride sneaked in before I could stop it. Elena paused and looked at me over her shoulder, one brow lifting. “Are you bragging right now?” I made a small laugh. “Maybe a little.” She chuckled too, shaking her head as she opened the fridge, the light spilling out and revealing the neatly arranged shelves. Everything inside was organised and carefully stocked. There were bowls of cut fruits, small containers with labels, bottles of juice and milk lined up like soldiers, and what looked like prepared meals sealed and untouched. She reached in and took out a small bowl of fruit, setting it on the counter.

He’d seen right through her from the start, and there was no point pretending otherwise now. The executive, sensing the shift in atmosphere, began to feel a little uneasy himself. Awkward silences were what he feared most. So, he quickly stepped forward with the fruit basket in hand, offering a smile. "Alright, let’s all take it easy. It’s rare we’re all gathered here—consider it fate. "These were specially picked for Miss Aurora. They’re from her favorite shop. The fruit there is really sweet!"

I teased back in a mock annoyance. He produced a set of keys from his pocket and unlocked the shed. Pushing the door open he pulled a basket from inside and held it in front of me. The sun started piercing through the dense fog, making me shiver from the sudden heat I had been missing. I looked in the basket to see a bunch of seed packets. “So we’ve already started sprouting some vegetables for this season. But I’d love your input on fruits for the next? What’s your favorite fruit?” he asks and then quickly adds, “And please don’t name something that grows on a tree - we’re just not there yet.”

And then an idea popped into my mind I stated to pick the fruits I knew I had tried Before, and thank God these fruits weren't that expensive. I had heard so much about dragon fruit too so picked some. “Are they called dragon fruits because they are dragon egss?” Olive whispered in my ears. Wait what???? I loooked back at the beautiful pink fruit in the basket… “This isn't how dragon egss look like at least this is not what I see in those movies?” “You think the movies have seen them dragon fruits in real life, what if we are just eating their babies!”
