Cowboy Blues

Western Hauler

Sorry for being so inconsistent :)

Ada POV:

We are at a bullriding this week for the PBR, and it's the last day (thank god). As much as I do love bull riding, I can only hang out with bull riders and their wives for so long. All the wives talk about is there husbands getting hurt and there next lash appointment, and those are two things I don't really worry about. He's a cowboy and he's gonna get hurt, it's gonna happen.

It's been about 2 weeks since we got back together, and it feels just like it did before anything happened. I was really worried that if we got back together that it would be totally different.

I'm getting ready to go down to the stands to watch Jb ride his last bull of this event. If the event has a choice they almost always put Jb close to last so it stays interesting for the crowd. I sit in the VIP section with all the wives the whole time, but I don't normally actually show up until after the intermission because again they all drive me crazy.

"And up next is a bull that this rider has had some trouble with this event, and if he can ride him, he can head to the top. Everyone get ready for Jb Mauney aboard a bull named 'Western Hauler'' The announcer yells.

He slides up and nods, and the bull makes 2 good jumps before he goes to make the 3rd he looses his footing. Western Hauler falls over leaving Jb still under him knocked out. The bull fighters don't make it in time to undo his rope for him so as the bull gets up, he's going with him.

Time skip

I head over to the medical room, they are running tests on Jb at to make sure he didn't hurt anything major. Of course it scared the hell out of me but I've learned to keep it toned down because it just makes Jb mad when people worry about him when he's hurt. Obviously because 'I'm not hurt'.

I knock on the door and the Doctor let me in and left behind me. Jb was just sitting on the bed with a sewn up cheek and a sling on his arm.

"How ya feeling?"

"Well, my ego is busted all to pieces, I need a beer, and probably a cigarette but I'm fine." He said while smiling.

"A bull rider with a busted ego, my favorite." I laughed back at him

"I'm not that bad to deal with. I can't ever beat 3am barrel slack version of Ada. She's meaner then a snake."

"I don't see you riding at 3am?" I said, pushing this a little further.

"Yeah because I'm trying to herd your damn horses away from mine so I can get them in without getting run over." He said while waving his hands around

"Well did you give them treats?" I asked while almost hysterically laughing

"Ada Katherine do I look like someone who gives horses treats at 3am. Of course I didn't!" He said while starting to laugh.

"They just wanted snacks, your such a horrible barn bitch. No wonder I fired you."

"I'm done with this, wanna go to the bar?"

At the bar

"Alright let's not get too trashed, I told Bea and Emma I would trail ride with them in the morning." I said while walking into the bar beside Jb.

"Your funny." He said before he turned to look at me and game me the biggest grin, that can only mean it's gonna be a long night.

——

"James you dumbass your not supposed to go over 101" I say after he shoot's a 50 when he needs 4 my round I gave him while I go get more beers.

"Ok then tough stuff you throw." He laughed back at me before taking my beers and downing them.

So I throw, the first one doesn't even get close to the board, the second one hits me a 3 and the third one gets me a 1 and to be honest I wasn't even aiming.

"Damn Jb you gonna let your girl beat you like that? I'm gonna buy her a couple drinks. Whatcha want doll?" This other guy that I assume knows Jb because he was sitting in our little group.

"I'll have a coors." I say while sitting back on the couch beside Jb.

"Like hell you are! I can buy you a coors" Jb yelled before getting off the couch to grab me another beer.

"Hey man I said I was buying her a drink! Listen to your girl huh!?" The guy said after he grabbed Jbs shoulder and spun him around to face him.

"You can buy me the drink if you wanna buy a drink so badly." Jb said, trying to start something.

"I'm getting the girl a coors."

"Your not getting her anything! Get the fuck out of here!" Jb yelled while slowly getting closer to the guy.

"Boys, I don't understand the problem. I can by my own drinks." I said while making my way over to them. 

"Thanks for the offer but we are gonna go" I said while grabbing Jb to head out the door.

"Let's shoot some tequila before we leave yeah?" He asked me before we started to leave.

"Yeah you and all your yelling kinda sobered me up a bit."

And the rest was a blur.

Next morning

"Holy fuck Ada what the hell did we drink last night" Jb said as he got up off the porch swing he ended up sleeping on.

"Not only did we drink, I swear you smoked something besides Marlboros last night too." I said while sitting up on the porch bench.

"Of course I did." He said and we both ended up laughing.

"Okay lets go take showers then watch a movie?"

"Yeah but you need to call Codi, you are supposed to go on a trail ride in a hour"

———

After I called Codi and told her we needed a different trail ride day and took a shower I go down stairs to meet Jb who's already picked out a movie.

"No please not 8 seconds again." I say while grabbing my blanket to sit beside Jb on the big couch.

"No babe it gets better every time and I haven't watched it in like forever" He said while turning it on.

"You watched it last week."

"Okay and I love the part when lane.....
