Chapter 10

Daniela's POV

I woke up to a sleepy Noah, he looked so cute when he was asleep! He still had his arms around me but not as tight. I loved how he held me. I started thinking about how we literally just met and he already tried to kiss me...we just...and I EVEN tried to kiss him back. I got lost in my thoughts like always but when I heard Noah yawn I looked right into his eyes. "Morning sleepy head..." I said trying not to sound tired. "Good morning princess." I blushed a little when he called me princess, I let a sleepy smile creep along my face. "You're so cute when you smile." I just nodded and looked in his eyes deeply, he looked back in my eyes deeply not for a second looking away. He wrapped his arms around me tighter and pulled me close to where our lips were so close to touching. "C-can I kiss you...?" He asked shyly. I nodded. He slowly closed his eyes and started to lean in. I closed my eyes and leaned in, waiting for his lips to touch mine. I felt his lips connect with mine and I felt like a billion fireworks just went off. It was the best feeling in the world. He didn't pull back, he just kissed me until he couldn't anymore. I felt him pull back a little and so did I. When I opened my eyes he was looking right at me, a big smile on his face. "I've wanting to do that since the day I met you..." He said, his voice still sleepy sounding. I just smiled and nodded. "Well, I don't mean to be rude but I should probably get going, I've got a friend who needed help with his horse." "Oh okay.." I said, trying not to sound sad or disappointed. He searched my face and I could tell he knew how I felt. Noah got up and was about to walk out the door but he spun around and ran towards me. He placed his hand on my cheek and kissed me again, a little harder then I expected. He smiled and left my dorm. When I heard the door close I got up and ran around my room laughing and feeling like a million bucks. I fell back on my bed looking up at the ceiling, smiling so widely that I thought my jaw would lock! I got up again and got ready for the day. I decided I would go down to the lunch room and see what Ace and the others were up too.

I walked down to the lunch room, got an apple and sat down next to Ace, across from Alex, Kelly, Luke and Flo. I smiled as I sat down and greeted everyone. "What's got you so happy today?" Ace asked me, joking a little bit. "Oh nothing." I said trying to hide my smile. "Haha alright, suuuureeee." He said laughing. I sat and talked with everyone for a little while before going to my dorm to change into jeans and a tee shirt so I could go riding.

I got to the stable and looked inside Dexter's stall. "Good morning silly baby!" I said in a cheerful tone. I took the curry comb and started to flick away all the dirt and grime. I loved the feeling of running my hands over his soft yet strong back. "Ace!! Put me down!" I heard a girl giggle and scream. "Nope!!" Ace said, sounding like he was enjoying himself. My grip around the curry comb started to get tighter and my knuckles started to turn white. I felt Dexter tense up by the sound of the girls high pitched scream. "Easy boy.." I whispered to him and started to pick his hooves, trying not to be rough. Just get out of here...hop on Dexter's back...run far away... I quickly walked to the tack room and grabbed Dexter's bridle, put it on him and unhooked his halter. I took his reins and turned around to start heading out of the barn. I saw Ace chasing after this mysterious girl, he looked so happy... I don't know why but I felt like I've just been stabbed in the heart. I let one tear role down my cheek as I walked past him, leading Dexter behind me.

I lead Dexter to the outdoor arena and took off his bridle once we entered through the gates. I placed my hands on both of his cheeks and looked into his big, soft, dark brown eyes. I reached down for his front leg and slowly worked him down to lay on his stomach. I then softly got on his back and again reached for his front leg, letting him know to get up. I wrapped my arms around his strong neck and he stood up. After he stood up, I reached both my hands out to the side like a bird spreading its wings and squeezed my legs against him, he willingly started to walk forward and I kept my balance.
