Chapter 14.

“Ahhhhh!!” I couldn’t stop screaming, this horse was nuts!

The sun was blazing, the birds were chirping and Grayson and I were out riding in the paddock. We were just about to go for a canter when I found myself up in the air and then speeding past Grayson.

Grayson chose to ride Miz, who was surprisingly calm with Grayson, whilst I got the horse from hell! It must have been like Miz’s eviller twin or something! When Grayson left to o do some jobs for me I finished Miz’s stable then went and picked a bay mare, called Summer to ride. Summer looked feisty but still kind, I chose her just in case I had somehow forgotten how to ride. Turns out she wasn’t kind and she hated me with a passion.

Every time I tried to stop her she would just spin around and then run in the other direction and Jesus! If you tried to turn her away from Miz she would rear up and bolt. I was just finding that out now as I clung onto the saddle for dear life. But on the bright side I haven’t fallen off yet.

“Alex! Slow down!” Grayson kept calling from behind me. Yeah as if I would choose to go this fast! People are so idiotic. I watched as trees whipped past my face and a horse neighed from behind me. Oh yeah, so now Miz finally realises he likes me! A branch slapped me on the way past and I felt a trickle of blood run down my cheek. “Butt face!” I growled to myself, I couldn’t even wipe the blood from my cheek because my hands had gripped onto Summer too tight.  My ninja skills aren’t working god damn it!

“She woooon’t stooooop!!” I shrieked whilst digging my nails into the horses’ neck and pulling on the reins as hard as I could. And let me tell you! With my werewolf strength that was bloody strong! The leather of the saddle was becoming slippery from my sweat and my arms and legs were becoming weak from the strain. My foot came loose from the stirrup and I could feel panic rising up in my chest trying to suffocate me. This was one of the reasons I never raced, I can’t stand the thought of falling from the horse at such a fast speed and hurting myself or more importantly; the horse.

When I was younger my father took me to a horse race and one of the riders fell off right in front of me and he broke his leg and got his arm put in a splint, whilst the horse snapped a bone in its leg and then got put down because it couldn’t be used again. It scared me so much that people can think that life means so little that I didn’t want to ever do that. What if I raced a horse and did something wrong so the horse snapped its leg and had to be put down? That would be on my conscience forever.

I saw a large tree appear right in front of me and I felt the panic erupt inside of me as my arms went limp and my legs turned to jelly. Suddenly everything went blurry and my vision spun I saw Miz’s head pull up next to me and then Grayson, looking extremely pissed and worried quickly followed. Grayson reached across me and ripped the reins from my hands before pulling Summer to a stop.

I felt my eyes drifting closed as the air rushed out of me and all my energy flooded from me before I heard a thump and something soft catch me as I slipped from Summer’s back.

A hand brushed back and forth across my palm making me smile. I was across something hard and I was really hot. I groaned and scrunched my eyes not wanting to face the embarrassment of seeing Grayson after he saw me faint. Ughh, I’m such a big girl!

“That tickles” My voice came out groggy and my throat burned like sandpaper. My eyes flickered open and I looked up above me to see a worried looking Grayson with red eyes and water tracks down his cheeks. I don’t think he had noticed me because he features seemed the same as he stared out the window. Why has he been crying? I only fainted, Men.

He looked miserable like his world had crashed down around him. His the white of his eyes were stained red but inside were a dark never ending cavern of black. They looked empty and cold. His jaw was tense and hard like he was chewing rocks but the light brushing of his hand was still incredibly gentle. Who died?

I reached my hand up and stroked Grayson cheek, rubbing some of the tears away. He still didn’t notice at first but then his head slowly turned towards me. All his features changed, his black eyes suddenly shone with new found hope and his jaw was no longer tense and secure.

“A...Alex” His voice was husky and heavy with unshed tears. Before I could take another breath Grayson pulled me into a tight embrace and crashed his lips against mine. His kiss tasted a bit salty from his tears but still oh so sweet.

I reluctantly pulled away from him and I heard his moan of complaint from the absence of my lips. It made me smile but I had to know why he was upset. “Grayson, Why are you so upset?” I stroked his hand as I spoke.

Grayson lifted his head and looked into my eyes with utter shock. “Lex... Lex you were unconscious, you... you hit a tree. I couldn’t... I couldn’t get to you fast enough... I’m... I’m so sorry” His voice kept cracking and I saw a new tear roll down his cheek and poll on his shirt with the rest of them.

“But, I thought... I thought you stopped me. I saw you! You stopped the horse!” I know he did! Why is he saying he didn’t?! My mind raced at the possibilities, my vision was blurry, but... I touched my forehead and winced from the shooting pain. Holy crap! I must have... but... I saw him?!

I threw myself at Grayson and curled up in a ball into his arms, actually feeling safe for once.

“I love you Gray” I murmured into his chest as tears rolled from my eyes down onto his shirt.

Grayson went still for a second before lying back on the bed and pulling me so I was spread across his lap. “I love you too Lex” he murmured into my hair before quietly rocking me to sleep.
