----
I waited in the kitchen replaying every close call. First in the hay loft, then watching him through the stupid kitchen window, then the close call in the stable, and now the kitchen and the cup. Just wait one day I won't be able control my emotions and I'll actually end up kissing him. Oh my gosh I need to breathe we just had a hard conversation about us not being a thing maybe that's because he doesn't like me like that. I mean if he did wouldn't he of said something. I need a drink before I pass out. I get off the counter and a glass of water when I her footsteps and laughter coming down the stairs. I turn around and see Brandy and Jackson.

"I thought you hated him." I said towards Brandy.

"Well I do." Then she turns and slaps him again. Woah.

"Can you tell dad I'm going out to eat tonight with some friends I won't be back till late." Jackson musters up some words as he touches his burning face.

"Yah sure." I say before he goes out the front and starts up his truck.

"What's up with you?" Brandy's looking at me now.

"Nothing."

"Don't lie I saw you just now you were with Bo." What the heck how does she know. "I came down to get my bag when I saw you too really really close."

"Oh he was putting up a cup."

"In between your legs doubt it." Busted.

"Honest I think." That's the last thing said. She gives me this look and we go upstairs and watch a movie. She chose Flicka.

Later we came back down and a lovely meal was prepared. Everyone was in the living room and by everyone I mean everyone. Becky, Steve, uncle Frank, and you guessed it Bo. Everyone made there way to the kitchen and grabbed a plate of food and went to the dinning room. Me and Brandy sat next to each other, she sat on my left and Becky sat on my right.uncle frank was at one end and Steve was on the other. Bo sat in front of me and then an empty chair for Jackson but he's not here.

"So I here your father owns that lovely showing facility across the street." Becky was starting up a conversation with Brandy. Becky always makes it less awkward.

"Yes ma'am he's been training for 20 years and counting." Brandy answered.

"Well that's exciting do you ride as well?"

"I actually just learned today."

"Oh I bet that was exciting."

"It really was." It went silent again. "So how long have you and Bo known the Shire family?"

"Oh for 14 maybe 15 years. Ever since Bo got over his fear of horses really."

"Uhghh mom they don't want to hear that story." Now it's Bo's turn to be embarrassed.

"He was afraid of horses? Wow that's so funny because now he rides them , saves them from inexperienced riders, and washes them."

"*cough *cough" I stated choking that was me chocking.

"Dear are you okay?" Becky now asking me.

"*clears throat* yes ma'am I'm fine just went down the wrong pipe that's all." I sounded like a smoker. She is so dead.

"I mean he told us he was going to wash the horses today." She got up and went to the kitchen and went to the top shelf. See the thing is you can see the kitchen from the dinning room table and hear everything. I took a drink wishing for this to end. "I saw Bo put a cup up here." *spits in drink* She is going to get herself killed by me. I look up and see Bo smiling more like lightly laughing. I sunk in my chair hoping this would be over. "You were in here to Amber you saw him put it up there." Nope guess not.
