ROBERTS POV
its been about a week since ive seen Nicole. I plan on seeing her sometime soon, because i miss her. I should text her, but as soon i thought that, i get a text. Speaking of the devil...
Hey Robert, can i ask a favor of you? It would mean a lot to me.
-Nicole
Ya whats up?
-Robert
Can you please drop Taylor off to horseback riding tomorrow? I am going to be a work late so i need you to.
-Nicole
Yeah, of course, thats fine. When should i pick her up?
-Robert
Um, id say 5:30, and she will show you the way.
-Nicole
Okay, i guess see you tomorrow after her lesson.
-Robert
Okay, see you tomorrow.
-Nicole
I put down my phone and hope tomorrow wont be awkward, even though me and Taylor are getting along. I would tell Taylor my secret, but she will find out in a couple of weeks. And i think it will be hilarious, for me at least. I eat some dinner and go to bed a couple hours later.
I wake up and eat breakfast and have a lazy day until i need to pick Taylor up.
I eat a quick dinner and head over, no cars in the driveway so Taylor must be home alone. I see her come out the front door and lock it. She walks over and sits in the passenger seat. "So where is this place?" I ask. Im dressed in clothes i dont care about because the place is probably not too clean. She is in a black outfit with cowgirl boots on. She tells me the way and it takes about a half an hour to get there. The teacher has four horses. I have already picked my favorite. It is a black horse with some white on the rear. His name is Shilo i guess. Taylors favorite is the newest one, even though its the oldest, the teacher rescued it. It was the tallest, fastest, and skinniest one. He was all brown and had a black mane and tail. His name is Indy. The teacher greeted herself and the horses and asked if i wanted to try. Well i thought, why not. I got to go on my favorite, but just walking because he trots fast i guess. Taylor is on her favorite as well, but she is going really fast as she trots. The teacher isnt on a horse, she is on the ground with what looks like a lease. She has a light brown horse with some white in some places named Ricochet. The last one is tied to a post in a corner. It is whiteish grey, smaller than the rest, and his name is Nigel. Thats all four. After awhile of walking, i got more comfortable. Then she asks if i want to try trotting. I hesitate and then nod with an afraid face. She explains how to trot, and before she is done explaining i feel the horse get faster all of a sudden and i panic. Then i realize Taylor is right behind me, herding my horse. She is laughing her ass of while i panic because i dont know how to slow the damn horse down. "Hey! I wasnt ready!" I yell, but not seriously yelling though.
"If hes going to fast, pull back a little and say 'easy'" the teacher says. I do as she says, then the horse slows down too much and begins walking again. "Thats okay, it takes time. Is this your first time on a horse?" She asks.
"I actually havent. Am i doing good?" I ask wondering. She nods, then im proud of myself and i start smiling. Then Taylor comes behind me again and makes Shilo go really fast again. Then my smile fades, except that im laughing a little. Soon enough, the lesson ends and im driving Taylor home. "So you do that every week?" I ask Taylor.
"Yes, its the only sport i do besides skiing, which is in the winter." She says.
"I think thats fine, you just do what you want to do. And i actually happen to love skiing." I say.
"Well, maybe we can go sometime, im joining ski club this year, and i should practice on weekends too." She says.
"Yeah, i think that will be fun." I say. I keep driving and we keep talking about our lives.
