How Country Feels

Chapter 2

                We went back to the barn to put our four wheelers away and to hose off.  Gage and I had had a very good conversation on the way back about how we missed and reminiscing on old times out in the woods. We were in the barn and getting dried off when we heard the barn door open and Baylee and Josh came strolling in smiling like fools.

                “what are you two smiling about?’ gage asked walking over to meet the two of them and shut the door. He knew his way around the farm pretty well considering that he worked here every summer taking care of the cattle and everything which is why I was kind of surprised when he wasn't aware of my aunt and uncle going to France.

                “nothing, why are you guys smiling?” josh asked with a sarcastic look on his face.

                “doesn’t matter. What matters is that the first night they’re here we have managed to stay out until 3am and now we have to try to sneak back into my house without mom and dad freaking out about us being out past curfew.” Gage spoke running his hands up and down his pants forcefully and with a look of thought on his face.

                “you guys could stay with us? I mean no one is going to be there. It could be like old times gage, only were going to be seniors…and there won’t be any supervision.”  I laughed slightly and looked at josh and Baylee. They both nodded their heads in response.

                “alright lets head back, but I really don’t feel like walking.” Baylee said in a completely whiny  2 year old way.

                “we could always ride the four wheelers back to the house and just park them in the garage because unless you two drove here I know there won’t be a vehicle in there.”  We all laughed at Gages statement because as weird as it sounded he was right.

                “alright, Jasmine you wanna ride with me or Baylee?” Gage asked climbing onto the red four wheeler and putting a helmet on.

“its up to baylee I’ll rid with whomever.” I looked at baylee , only to see her already on the back of the four wheeler with josh.  I laughed and walked over and got on with Gage. Wrapping my arms around his waist and feeling his hard as under my arms made me smile.

                “hold on tight, just because you're a girl doesn’t mean that im going to go any slower” I could hear the smile on his face. I buried my face into his back and felt the warm of his skin against mine. It was june but the nights still got a bit chilly, and considering the fact that we were still nice and wet from hosing the mud off, the warmth from him was much appreciated.

                We rode up to the door and josh opened it and we rode through, riding back to the house. We pulled into the drive way, and I was the only one who had a key. I reluctantly got off the four wheeler leaving gages warmth and opened it up for them to park.  We went into the houses and I grabbed some spare clothes from my uncles room for the boys, and they got into the shower, there was a bathroom in the basement and one upstairs.  Me and baylee were in the living room when they left.

                “so whats up with you and josh?” I asked flipping through the channels. Nothing was really on at 3:30 in the morning so I settled on VH1.

                “I don’t know? I mean he’s a nice guy and we had a lot of fun hanging out and everything, I don’t know? I just met him!” we both laughed and I nodded my head.

                “yeah, you guys looked like you had a fun time when you came back, so did gage and I the only difference is that we were friends before so we were catching up with one another” I thought back on what had happened early that night, and how much fun I was actually having. The thought of gage and I’s conversation about me and baylee staying, and finishing our senior year here crossing my mind too. The more and more I thought of it the more it made sense and the more I wanted it to happen.
