Chapter 13.

Oh bugger.

“G-Grayson?” I stuttered. Why is he here?! I was just having a nice day mucking out annoying, arrogant, not to mention smelly horses and then he has to come here and make me go all hot and sweaty, the nerve! Did he just do it to see me gawk at his toned body? Which to be honest I couldn’t help. He was buff! With his one little trail of hair down the centre, it looked like a little black snail track. That’s right Alex, keep thinking of snails.

Anywhoo, away from staring at Grayson’s abs for a second to find out why he’s here. Wasn’t he supposed to be doing something like herding cows or wrestling sheep? Not coming here and being all, him.

“No offence Gray but why are you here?” I looked him up and down with an eyebrow raised, that’s it Alex, act cool. He grinned at me, obviously happy that I actually spoke to him since I had been ignoring him for a couple of days. He must have been getting lonely, Jake and Leo were shunning him, Mat just really spoke to Jake and Leo mostly anyway and Max only really spoke to me anyway, i felt bad for making his two best mates hate him.

“I came to see if you needed a hand; I’m done with my work and Miz is a handful.” He stuck his thumb over his shoulder pointing at Sunshine. “He only really likes me and he withstands Leo.” I glared over his shoulder at Sunshine the Traitor, out of the corner of my eye I could see Grayson trying not to smile.

“Stupid horse, traitor” I grumbled under my breath trying not to smile. Be annoyed with him! Be annoyed! “Wait what? Miz? What kinda’ name is that for a girl? I’ve been calling her Sunshine” I mumbled the last bit to myself but Grayson obviously heard because he raised an eyebrow at me.

“It’s his name. Short for Myztery. Spelt with a z not an s but said the same.” He smiled at me and cocked his head to the side, yeah you just look harmless there buddy-boy, I grumbled in my head.

“Why a z?” I asked confused.

“Because when I painted his stable wall I want to call him Zorro, I know cheesy right? Well I had just done a big Z right in the middle before Leo came and barged in and said it was a stupid name so I had to think of a name that began with z, I also liked the name Mystery so Jake said to spell it with a z not an s. So I did, obviously”

I thought what he said over. Wait what did he say about a painting?

“What painting?” I rumpled my forehead up trying to remember a painting.

“Love; there is one in every stable. I paint a lot and Grace told me to paint one in every stable about each horse” He looked at me with a ‘Duh’ look.

“Wait? Who’s Grace?” I had never met a Grace.

“Err, well, Erm...” Grayson wouldn’t look me in the eye and all of a sudden the floor became so much more interesting apparently, huh, what a coincidence.

“Grayson...” I narrowed my eyes at him. Hmm, he obviously doesn’t want me to know about her whoever she is. I bet she was a ninja! Well I bet I could kick her ass any day my ninja skills are epic!

“Well... she was just an uh... old friend.” He ran his hand through his hair whilst I raised an eyebrow at him, old friend my backside.

“Old friend?”

“Yeah, we were quite good friends, she was the alpha’s girlfriend so she was really pretty and all that but she suddenly began getting jealous and she kept saying stuff to people like he didn’t love her, no one knew why she said it but to be honest I don’t think he really did love her anyway, no one knew why though and so she left and never spoke to me or anyone else again so it doesn’t matter anyway. So uh, what job’s do you have left” he said quickly changing the subject.

It took me a second to take in all he had said to me before I answered him “Well, I’ve just got to finish Mizzz’s stable” I emphasized on the z just to be snobby and annoying “and then try and brush him. Plus Max says I’ve gotta ride a few of them.” Grayson looked annoyed when I mentioned Max but other than that he actually looked like he wanted to know.

“Well, you finish mucking out and I’ll start brush Miz and then when I’m done I’ll come and help you put the new straw in and brush it back then we can go out for a hack, I’ll tack up Myztery while you pick which you want to ride.” Before I could answer he went in through the stable doorway, presumably to get the brushes.

The cheek of people lately, always thinking I will do as they say. Oh well, bet get mucking. With a final glare at Sunshine I head back into the stables and began cleaning I couldn't help the smile that spread over my face at the thought of riding after so many years. I could never ride after I sold Bonny but I could still remeber how. At least I hope I can.
