Allie

Twenty

Ryke:

A loud knock on the door and I stood up out of bed, lightly pushing Allie off of my chest as I walked over to the door and throwing on my jeans as I walked over to us and I swing open the door.

I walked outside to see Allie standing there with Ryder. I groan as I realised I had no top on and they stare at me. "Where's Allie?"

"Ryke who's at the door?" Allie walks around with a blanket wrapped around her body as she stands next to me and sees Ryder and Aspen standing at the door. Then she realises what we are wearing. Blanket... oh shit. I shut the door. Not dealing with them and walked over to the bed and dropped down and she followed.

She sat down in the bed and I wrap my body around her torso that was covered with the blanket and she runs her fingers into my hair. "I'm not dealing with that at nine o'clock." She laughs as she just watched me just lay on my stomach and half of it being on her legs.

This is what I've dreamt for the last year, to have a woman like her to be by my side. God she's perfect.

I wrapped an arm around her neck and she looked up to me and I looked down at her to see a massive smile on her face as she walked into the main house.

She leans into me, into a cowering way, as she knows Aspen and Ryder knows something is going on between the two of us. "Hold your head up high, Love. They'll always accept you because your fucking brilliant." She couldn't help but smile as we walked in. My arm still wrapped around her shoulder.

We walked in and I see everyone at the table again, they all looked at us and started at the both of us confused. Then I grabbed my hat off my head and placed it on top of hers. Everyone's eyes opened in shock and Aspen runs over and gives Allie a hug.

"Since when? I thought your leaving and moving to another place that's why we came up to your cabin to see you off." Allies face turns red and then smiles. And then nods. "I was, but... when we planned to go and see it today and leave today, I went back to my cabin and he was there. Then he asked me." She shrugged telling Aspen that and they turned to me giving me a nod.

"Ryke?" My brother says as I look up at him, he stands there and gestures for me to go in another room as both of the girls walk into the kitchen. I walked into the other room and Ryder follows.

"Are you telling all the truth? That you and Allie?" I nodded. I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms over my chest. "Yes. Yes I am." I answered honestly. Because I truly not lying about how much she is to me.

I sat down on the chair, he lets out a sigh. "I know your my brother and all, but if you ever hurt her. I won't hold back like the time you got my cabins." I shook my head with a smile. "I'll never hurt her Ryder."

He nodded before coming over to me and hugging me. "I want to ask you something though." He says. "I've already asked my dad, but you know how Keaton and Koen are and dad can't look after both of them." I nodded.

They're lovely kids, but they are mental and scream and try and escape, and our father can never look after them because of how energetic they are. And they can easily escape. But they would never do it to Aspen. Ever. She's a wonderful woman. But strict with her children to make sure they would have a good life and to make sure they won't do anything wrong.

"But I want to ask Aspen to marry me." My face lit up and I'm so happy for the both of them. "You know mine and Aspens spot?" I nodded as I remembered they dragged me up there to take a photograph of the both of them. "Ryder, me and Allie are going to ride Silver and Power." Aspen walks in and he let out a sigh hoping she didn't hear anything.

Allie walks in and wraps her arms around my waist before placing her head on my chest and looking up at me and smiling. I leaned down kissing her lips.
"Have fun Love."

I nodded for her to go and she leaves with Aspen and Rex followed behind her so did. Nina stands at my feet. "Rex!" He comes bounding back to me I shut the door because I want to make sure that they have the distance away from horses. But I want to make sure that nothing would happen because Power can be a bit picky when around dogs.

"What else you wanted to say about the proposal?" I asked him and he lets out a long sigh knowing this is going to be long and he's really nervous. "I want you to look after them for two days. You and dad and maybe Allie if she wants to help out and not at work.
But... I want to ask her Friday." He shrugged and I nodded.

"I want you three to have Keaton and Koen from Thursday- Sunday. Thats if she says yes. Otherwise just to Friday if that doesn't work out." I stare at home and shook my head. Is he being serious when he says that doesn't work out. "You think Aspen's going to say no?"

"It's not that... it's just that the whole thing is running through my head and im planning things if otherwise. You got to help me here Ryke. She means the world to me." I stood up and walked over to him and wrapped my arms around.

"Listen to me Ryder. Aspen... is in love with you, she literally danced with you and made you take her to the cabin to have alone time. She wouldn't do it to anyone else. She stares at you as your her whole world. She would accept it in a heart beat."

He smiles remembering her, I shook my head. "Your too in love, Ryder. It makes me sick." I did the gag motion and I laughed.

"Shush, your getting all mushy with your girl." I waved him off as I walked out of the front door. "Look after the dogs!"
