Life and Love. (ON HOLD)

Ch 9: More love in the air already?!

(Thats Caitlan on the left and me,Dakota on the right)

"Meako?!" I yell as he comes trotting towards Nate and i.
"So who shall i ride?" Nate says as he looks across a paddock.
"You can ride Star." I say as we both walk back to the stable with our horses.

After finishing saddling up the horses, we head out for a sundown ride around the town.

Amber's POV

"So what are you cooking?" I say as i sit at the bench on an old stool.
"Well marinated chicken with a spring salad and mashed potato." Damon says with a smile as Mitch starts to peel the potatoes.

"Sounds amazing." I says as her mouth starts to drool.
"Uh Amber. You've got a little something coming out of your trap." Mitch says with a chuckle.
"Shut up." I say as i wipe away the little streak of saliva going down my chin.

"Leave her alone Mitch." Damon says as he punches Mitch in the arm lightly but firmly.
"Thanks Damon." I say with a smile as i gaze at his perfect smile and firm muscles.
"Mitch can you look after the food i just need to talk to Amber quickly." Damon says as he gives a sly wink to Mitch.

"Sure go ahead." Mitch says as he takes the knife of the bench.

Damon and i walk outside and shut the door behind us.
"Look Amber, i was wondering if we could maybe get to know each other a little better m-maybe." Damon says as runs his hand through his hair nervously.
"Damon calm down" i say as i place hand on his shoulder "sounds like a great idea."

Damon smiles and looks into my eyes.
"Great. I cant wait to see how this goes." Damon says as he kisses my head.

Wow :)

Caitlan's POV

"So what do you want to do?" I ask Travis as we sit on the lounge.
"I don't know. What do you wa-" Travis say as he suddenly hisses through his teeth in pain.
"Travis are you ok?" I say as he grabs his shoulder.
"Yeah it should be fine. Its a long story." Travis says as he cringes.

"We have a lot of time so spill." I say as Travis looks at me and presses his lips together.
"Fine but don't freak out." Travis says as he slowly takes off his shirt revealing not only rock hard abs and bulging muscles but multiple scars.
"Well most of these just look like scars the average rodeo rider has but what are these other ones?" I say as i slowly drag my fingers across all the bumps and crevices of his scars.
"Well before i starting hanging with Mitch and Damon i used to do some pretty bad stuff. I got into quite a fair bit of trouble with the wrong crowd and Mitch pulled me out of it." Travis says as as he slips on his shirt and looks at the ground.

"Its ok. I don't care what you've done in the past but can i say one thing?" I say with a smile on my face.
"Why not." Travis says as he gives a sly smile.

I lean forward and lift up his shirt as Travis' eyes go wide.
"I love this tattoo you have on you hip bone." I say as he gives me a smile and a little chuckle.

The tattoo was a horseshoe made out of thorns with 3 small roses next to it.

"So do want to tell me what it means?" I say as he slowly pulls his shirt down.
"Well its a little morbid but the horseshoe represents the rodeo and the roses represent how many near death experiences i have had." Travis says as he stands up and looks out the window.

"Wow are those 3 all to do with the rodeo?" I say as he gives me a wink.
"Yeah but I'm still adding."

"Well i like a bad boy." I say as i give him a wink back and just as things get interesting i hear Amber walk inside the house having a giggling fit.

Amber skips into the lounge room and sits next to me as Travis leaves the room.

"Good job Amber. I was about to nab myself a bad boy and you just ruined it." I say as she sits on my lap and collapses with the biggest smile on her face and completely ignores me.

"Uh hello? Earth to psycho?"
"Oh hey Caitlan. You wont believe what just happened." Amber says as she sits up and grabs my shirt.
"What happened?" I say as i roll my eyes.

"Damon and i are getting to know each other as more than friends. He's hot." Amber says as she collapses again but slips off of my lap and slams her head against the coffee table.

"Psycho?! Are you alright?" I say as i try to hold in my laughter but i cant help it.
"Ouch." Amber mumbles in pain.

The 3 boys run into the lounge room and Travis starts to loose it as Mitch and Damon stand there with raised eyebrows and confusion righten all over their faces.

"She will be fine just g-give her a moment." I say as i cant help but let out random bursts of laughter and a few tears from trying to hold it in.

Dakota's POV

"We should start heading back, dinner is most probably nearly ready." I say as Nate and I ride around the same lake me and the girls swam in this morning.

"Fine but lets take our time. Its been ages since we have seen each other plus i don't want you pushing yourself since you just got out of hospital." Nate says as he places his hand on my shoulder as he pulls Star in closer to Meako so he can reach me.

"Look mother i didn't come home just so i can do what i would do at the hospital." I say as get Meako to walk a little faster.

"Im not trying to mother you Dakota. I just want to talk as long as i can with you." Nate says with a smile.

"Oh really. Well that doesn't sound half bad." I say as we turn around make our way home.

"So whats the plan for tomorrow?" Nate says we scratches his head.

"Well the boys will do their thing but i might go for a ride on my bike down to the city and I have no idea what the girls have planned."

"Sounds good. Since you're looking pretty healthy what do you say to a good old fashioned race back to the house?" Nate says as he gets comfortable in the saddle.

"Alright but no playing dirty." I say as he gives a slight shrug.

"Alright enough talking and GO!" Nate yells as he rides off and i follow close behind.
