Afraid (Sawyer Fredericks Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

Ally's POV

Waking I sigh. I just want to go back to last night. In fact, I wish every night was like last night. You'd think talking with someone for hours would get boring, but with Sawyer that never happens. He is literally the easiest person to talk to. Unfortunately I have to face the reality that last night is over. I get up from bed and walk to the kitchen. Once again I sigh when I see a note on the table, great chores my favorite. I pick up the list and see the contents of it.

Ally Please Do These Chores

1. Pull out weeds by the side of house

2. Mow the lawn (there is a lawnmower somewhere in the barn)

I know the list isn't long but each of these things combined could literally take me the whole day. I eat some breakfast, get dressed, and walk outside. It's better to just get the work done than procrastinate. I grabbed some work gloves and started yanking out the weeds. They were everywhere, and they were like 2 ft long! Like, I'm not even kidding. After about 3 hours of pulling weeds I was finally done. Walking back inside I hear my phone go off. Picking I up I see its Sawyer and smile.

*Texting*

"Hey what are you up to?" He asks.

I respond "Well I'm just doing my mom's Chore List Of DEATH. She wants me to pull all the weeds and mow the lawn. Which happens to be a jungle!"

He sends back "Okay do you need any help? I just finished the farm work so I have nothing to do."

Laughing I send him back another text "I think I can handle it, I'll let you know if I need help though thanks for the offer. Ok well I gtg and mow the lawn."

"See ya" He sends back.

*End Of Texting*

As I open the barn door I see that my works cut out for me. The lawn mower literally looks like it's from the 1800's it's all rusty and seems to be falling apart. I drag it out of the barn and then go get some gas to fill the tank up. Once the gas is in a try to start the lawn mower. When it doesn't start I'm seriously not surprised, how in the world did my mom even begin to think this lawnmower would run. Frustrated I kick the side of the lawnmower, and guess what it totally fell apart. Parts of it are just lying in the lawn. I just leave the lawn mower sitting there and go back inside.

I text Sawyer again and say "Well I guess I'm not going to mow the lawn, my lawnmower literally fell apart XD"

He responds a few minutes later saying "Fell apart? What did you do to it.... If you want I can bring our riding lawnmower and just cut the lawn for you XD"

Chuckling I respond "I may have provoked it's falling apart by kicking it.... And if you could bring over your lawnmower, that would be great. Because I don't think our lawnmower is ever going to run again"

"Wow that's a classic you kicked it. Okay well I'll be over in a few." He responds.

Sure enough a few minutes later I hear Sawyer coming towards the house on the lawn mower. When I see him come into view I yell "My hero!" I can see him laugh. He pulls up into the lawn and turns the mower off.

"Yup your hero has arrived on his trusty lawnmower."He says winking and patting the lawnmower.

He gets off the lawnmower and sees the other lawnmower in pieces in the grass. He laughs "I thought you were exaggerating but apparently you weren't." He turns around facing me and laughs "How hard did you kick the lawnmower?"

"Pretty dang hard, my foot still hurts!" I say,

"Have you ever considered being a professional soccer player?" He asks while raising his eyebrow.

"Nope, but I think I seriously should though." I laugh.

After that Sawyer cut the grass in record time thanks to the riding lawnmower. If I seriously had to push that lawnmower around the house than it would pretty much take the whole day. He parks the lawnmower and jumps off.

"Thank you" I say and give him a hug (his hair still smells like strawberries). "I seriously would never have got this done if it wasn't for your help"

"No problem, do you want to come over to have dinner with us?" He asks.

"Sure, my mom's not going to be back until like 8 at night so that would save me from cooking and burning the house down." I laugh.

"Okay cool, come over in about 20 minutes. See you then?" He says as he hops on the lawnmower and starts it.

"Yup see you then!" I yell over the lawnmower.
