Grayson Dolans Girlfriend

Chapter 3

Lily's P.O.V

I woke up, wrapped in Grayson's arms. I chuckled silently to myself as I was laying on top of him.

I gently rolled onto my side of the bed, picking my phone up, off the bedside table.

To 'Birth Giver'

Mom, I've decided to stay at Mads' for the rest of the weekend... I'll be back tomorrow evening xx

She didn't reply but I knew she'd be fine with it. Grayson slowly started waking up, bringing me back into his chest, kissing up my jawline.

"Oh, shit" I muttered, jumping out of bed, putting my jeans and top on.

"What?" Grayson frowned, putting his arms out for me to come back to bed.

"Bamboo! Tessa! Willow! How could I forget?! I didn't go yesterday... I'm so stupid" I went to leave out the door.

"Bamboo?! Tessa?! Willow?!"He got out of bed, walking to his wardrobe, getting dressed.

"My horses! Do you not listen to me?" I groaned.

"You're so moody" he moaned. I gave him a look "oooooh" he nodded.

Basically, my mom used to ride, in fact she still does when she can. I've grown up riding. Bamboo is the horse I've had the longest... I've had him for five years, I got him when my other horse sadly passed. Tessa is probably the newest. I've had her for around six months. Willow is 3.

Bamboo is grey, Willow is black and Tessa is white. White horses are actually very rare. Bamboo is very friendly but he doesn't like new people, he takes a while to warm up to someone new. Tessa on the other hand is a little madam. She's always kicking her stable door and when she's in the field she's running around. She's also very friendly. Willow, she's very shy but she's lovely, she loves me.

My mom owns a stable where people take riding lessons, me being a teacher there. I don't get paid but I'm fine with it. There are a few stable hands that are all useless if I'm honest. Tyler comes down quite a lot, he brings Sophia. We have tons of horses at the stable and it's a place where people keep their horses but Bamboo, Willow and Tessa belong to me but sometimes I use them in lessons, all the students love Bamboo and Tessa but Willow doesn't like being around big groups of people.

All the rest are my moms or people who rent stables.

"I'll come with, I have nothing better to do" I gave him another look "no offence" he laughed.

When we were all ready I picked up my handbag that had my locker keys in. We got in my car and I put the roof up because it started lightly raining. We drove twenty minutes to the stables. We have to drive for a few minutes to get there from home as well.

I could hear all the horses neighing and kicking their stall doors. I unlocked the gates and opened them as wide as I could. Through the gates is a courtyard type thing, stables going round in a big rectangle, there were six other rooms:
The tack room;
The food room;
The locker room;
The reception;
The bathroom
And the small kitchen area.

I opened the top part of every door so the horses couldn't get out but they could look out.

Grayson sat on one of the three steps you have to go up to be in the reception office, watching me.

I went to the locker room and got my hat, riding boots and jodhpurs out before slamming the locker shut. I quickly changed, leaving on the top I was already wearing. I turned off the lig and shut the door, stepping back into the courtyard.

I went into the tack room and went into the little cupboard that had my horses stuff in, so no one else would use it, they're not aloud anyway but I get paranoid about that kind of stuff.

I got my horses head collars out and their three ropes. Willow has a black and white rope, Bamboo has a green rope and Tessa has a pink one.

One by one I put their head collars on, attaching the rope, taking them out of their stables and tying them to the metal railing that surrounded the middle of the courtyard.

All the other horses neighed in distress of not being let out.

I fed and groomed my horses, giving them time for their food to go down before getting willows saddle. I have to exercise my horses then we can go. Willow is a professional racing horse, I've entered many a competition with her, finishing in the top three.

I got all her other equipment and geared her up. I let the other two finish eating, making sure they were far enough apart to not bite or kick each other while I was gone. Grayson followed me out the front gates that I shut behind me in case either of my other horses somehow broke free.

I walked across the road, past the small car park, dedicated to the stables and to one of the riding pens.

I walked her in and Grayson sat on the fence. I out one foot in the stirrup and pushed myself up, putting my other leg around and my other foot into the other stirrup. We started by walking one lap of the pen, this was the smallest pen so it would usually take about a minute to do that.

However, Willow being the shy little ass that she is wouldn't go near Grayson. I tried to make her used to him by getting off of her and leading her over to him. He gently stroked down her face and she nuzzled him. I was surprised, she doesn't usually take a liking to other people.

I got back on and we continued with our one lap walk, then a two lap trot, a three lap canter and a seven lap gallop. She is pretty damn fast. When we'd done all our laps I praised her a lot. I got off and went to her front. I pulled out a pack of mints. She started trying to bite the packet out of my hands. I took one out and put it on my palm, holding my hand out flat. She nuzzled my arm and I stroked her. I led her back to the courtyard, tying her up. I took off all her equipment and brushed her down quickly, putting her back in her stall. I kissed her nose before doing the exact same with my other two horses.

Tessa bucked when I was on her, causing me to fall off. I was fine! It's not like I've never fallen off before. As my horse riding teacher used to say 'you're not a proper rider until you've fallen off at least 100 times', I've beat that by miles. Gray jumped down from the gate and ran to me, helping me up.

"I would hug you and kiss you right now but you smell like horse" he laughed.

I laughed and straightened my hat, looking over a Tessa who was standing in the corner. I walked over and stroked her. She nuzzled me and I laughed.

"You feeling sorry you little bugger?" I laughed.

I walked her back, brushing her and kissing her goodbye. I put my hat and riding shoes back in my locker, leaving my jodhpurs on.

We were about to leave when I heard giggling. Sophia's giggling. I looked at Grayson, worriedly, he obviously has never met my siblings so he doesn't know what's going on.

Tyler and Sophia turned the corner and saw me. They both smiled, Soph running and hugging me. Tyler then noticed Grayson, his smiled dropped.

"Lily, who's this?!" He gave Grayson a dirty look and turned to me.

"He's my... The... The new stable hand" I mentally high fived myself "I was just showing him around" I smiled.

"Mom didn't say anything about a new stable hand" he raised and eyebrow.

"Well, I hired him to look after my horses when I can't..." Sophia started running around the courtyard.

"Where are the documents?" Tyler asked, he's a fucking detective or some shit.

"Fine." I snapped "he's my boyfriend, don't tell mom, please" I begged.

"WHAT?!" He shouted, getting all up in Grayson's face.
