Bull Rider

Chapter 2

        After some talking, slaps on the back, and congratulating, Cole and I finally got in the truck and headed home. On the drive back I fell asleep in the back seat, I wake up to the revving of the trucks engine I front of our house. I sleepily get out of the truck, grabbing my rodeo bag and heading inside, I walk up the stairs and go into my room, I face plant onto my bed and just sleep.
Morning arrives and the smell of toast, eggs, and bacon fill into my room making my stomach growl, I walk down the stairs still wearing the clothes I had on from yesterday.
"Goodmorning sleepy head" Ma says looking back at me from the stove.
"Nice hair" Cole says sarcastically.
"Goodmorning darling" Pa says not looking away from the newspaper.
I mumble a quiet "morning" to them and take my usual place at the table. I drink my glass of orange juice that is already sitting on the table.
I grab some toast and bacon and ask ma for some eggs and make a little breakfast sandwich. I finish then clean my plate in the sink and place it in the dishwasher. I run back upstairs and go into my bathroom and take a shower the hot water hits my body and relaxes my tight muscles. I wash my hair and body and rinse off I get out of the shower and dry off and brush my hair, I put on a pair of Jean shorts and a t-shirt. I walk back downstairs and tell ma I'm going to go ride the horses, she tells me to be careful, I slip on my boots and walk out the door.

I get out to the pasture where the horses are.  I see my horse snowflake and go into the pasture where they are grazing I walk up to her and pet her nose then I lead her back to the barn and put a saddle on her. I get on her and ride around the pasture a bit then I go around town with her getting her exercise in.

As I am riding around I see my friend Matt walking on the side of the road so I ride up behind him.
"Hey Matt!" I say.
"Kyla! How are ya darlin?" He says surprised.
"Pretty good whatcha been up to lately?" I ask.
"Nothing too much just been helpin Pa with the farm" he answers "what about you?"
"Just rodeos ya know the usual" I say.
"Yeah I watched you the other night you did pretty good!" He says.
"Thanks you know I try my best!" I say back.
"Hey you mind if I ride snowflake?" He asks.
"Sure go ahead" I slide back on the saddle so there is enough room for Matt. He hops on and I wrap my arms around him. He smiles.
We ride around town for a bit.
"Matt..." I say.
"Yes?" He replies.
"This has been fun but I should probably head home"
"Alright darlin" he hops off snowflake.
"I had fun today" I smile at him.
"Me too" he smiles back.
"See ya tomorrow!" I turn snowflake around and wave at Matt.
"See ya darlin" he waves back.
I head home.

I arrive at home, I bring snowflake in the barn and unsaddle her and put her in her pin. I go and get the other 3 horses and put them in their pins, then I go back into the house. Ma is making lunch when I walk in.
"How are the horses?" She asks.
"They're alright, I rode snowflake around town" I say.
"Good she needs her exercise" she smiles at me.
"I saw Matt, I let him ride snowflake" I tell her.
"Oh fun. I've always liked that boy, I think he's always liked you Kyla." She smiles.
"Yeah. The truth is I like him too so yeah." I blush.
"I know you do Hun!" She says happily.
"Maybe he'll ask me out one of these days!" I say excitedly.
"Maybe!" She smiles.  "Go give the  boys their sandwiches"
"Where are they?" I ask.
"Puttin up fence posts on that new plot of land we bought" she says.
"Can I take the four wheeler to give em their lunch?" I ask.
"Go ahead just be careful" she says while handing me their lunches.

I go to the shed and get the black four wheeler out and start it up and put their lunch in the box on the back of it. I get to the boys and give them their lunch and head back home. On my way back home I find a very muddy road I turn down it and go for a lil muddin. I eventually go home covered in mud from head to toe. I take my boots off outside and come inside. Ma takes one look at me and starts laughing.
"Why are you covered in mud?" She says still laughing.
"I may or may not have found a mud road on my way home" I smile.
"Go wash up then come eat your lunch" she orders
"Yes ma'am" I say and run upstairs.
I get into my room and grab my iPhone off my bed and go into the bathroom and open snapchat, I take a mirror selfie and put a caption 'had some fun today on the 4 wheeler' and put it on my story. I take a quick shower washing off the mud then I get out, wrap a towel around me, I get dressed in another pair of jean shorts and another t-shirt. I go back downstairs.

I sit at the table and Ma brings me my ham sandwich and celery with ranch.
"Thank you momma!" I say and start to eat.
"You're welcome babygirl!" She says back.
I finish my lunch and rinse my plate and put it into the dishwasher.
"I'm going to go grab my clothes and wash em" I say.
"Alright. Thank you so I don't have to do it" she says kindly.
"You're welcome" I say enthusiastically.

I run upstairs to grab my clothes. I check my phone while I'm at it. There's a notification a snapchat from Matt, I open it, it's a picture of him frowning the caption says 'I wanna go muddin' I snap him back frowning having the caption saying 'too bad you little baby'. I put my phone down on my bed and go and do my laundry.

After I do my laundry, I go and check the horses. Making sure they're okay for the night. I head back in and help Ma make potato soup for supper.
