*Madi POV

"VRRRR...VRRRR...VRRRR"

My phone vibrated on the glass table, picking it up I answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Madi."

"Yes, who's this?"

"Oh, right I'm Denise. Trent's mom, I was wondering if you could come over and watch the boys till we leave?"

"Um yeah, what time?"

"Around five."

"OK" 

"Thank you, bye."

"No problem."

I look at my watch it's already four, I decide I have time for a quick shower. Running upstairs I grab some clothes out of my drawer and get in. Four minutes later i'm out and blow drying my hair. After that I put on some makeup and decide to start on my way over. I jump down the stairs and grab my keys. 

"Hey mom i'm going over to Trent's to babysit see you later." I hear her yell back from the kitchen and walk out the door. We live on West Park Avenue in a big three story house, my mom, me, and my brother Gabe. My dad left once Gabe was born so he never met him, I was only two so I don't remember much. Mom says he drank a lot so we don't talk about him.

Opening the garage door I unlock my truck and back out. Trent lives in the country with his three brothers, Marshal, Jorge, and Abe. It takes me 30 minutes to get there and by then it's almost 5. They live in a brown house hidden in the trees.I get out and walk up the steps to knock on the door, before my hand even leaves my side Jorge is at the door covered in mud and dragging me inside. Were up the stairs before i'm able to ask what's happening. 

"Jorge!" I laugh looking at him. "What is going on." He stops and turns toward me. Smiling he pulls a clump of mud of him and throws it at me. It hits me square in the chest. 

"Mud fight!" He screams and runs into the bathroom. following him I see the tub is filled to the brim with mud and buckets and shovels surround it. 

"What..." Marshal is sitting on the toilet shoveling mud into a bucket and Abe sits in the middle of the mess staring up at me giggling.

"Where are your parents?" Jorge laughs and takes me to their parents door. He motions towards it and I open it to see Denise and her husband on the bed asleep. 

"Shh... The're sleeping." He giggled and closed the door. I ran to the bathroom and began yelling.

"Where's Trent?!?" I knew the answer but I asked anyway, this time a day he's usually out feeding the horses.

"Get rid of that mud!"

"OK." They gather some buckets and began to fill them, then walking over to the window they dumped them out over the ledge. I run over and watch the slop fall to the ground, they continue this method until the bathtub is empty and filling with murky water. I gather myself and go to tell Denise i'm here, when I open the door she's still asleep but her husbands gone. 

I gently shake her awake, her eyes flutter and she looks at me through a mist of haze. 

"Hey Denise. It's me, Madi." She sits up and pulls herself off the bed. 

"What..what time is it?!?" She starts running around the room pulling out suitcases and throwing clothes into them, I grab her shoulders to stop her. 

"Hey, slow down. It's five till."

"Shit! I have to leave with the boys at seven."

"Ok, you've got an hour. I'll gather the boys and have them take showers." She looks down at my shirt and sees the mud spot.

"What happened?"

"I...I.." She stared at me crossing her arms, I gave up and told her what had happened. "Jorge threw mud at me."

"JORGE!!" She stormed out the door before I could stop her.

30 MIN LATER

"Alright, Abe do you have your toothbrush?" 

"Yes mom."

Denise had Marshal, Jorge, and Abe lined up in front of the door, they were going to San Francisco for the weekend and they need me to stay and help Trent. They leave and I run up stairs to Trent's room, I reach the door and knock.

"Come in." I open the door and walk in. He looks up from his video games and smiles.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" He smiles asking the question.

"Oh, your mom left with the boys and i'm supposed to stay the night and um help around the house." He nods and turns off the TV. He crawls onto his bed patting the empty spot next to him.

"Come on." 

"Um, first do you have a shirt I can borrow?" 

"Yeah, hold on." He walks over to his closet and pulls out a red and black shirt that has the sides cut out. I peel off my shirt putting the new one on, he climbs back onto the bed and I join him.

"So." I say looking at him, his hair is reddish brown and always hangs in front of his big green eyes.He gives me a goofy grin and I laugh. He's wearing a brown rodeo shirt and jeans, his boots were strewn across the floor and he had socks on. 

"What?" He asks noticing me staring at him.

*Trent's POV 

"What?" She stared at me and laughed.

"Nothing." She looks down and i take her chin and lift it. Sweeping her hair out of her face I look at her. 

"Your beautiful." She blushes and I take her head in my hands and kiss her. She's surprised at first but soon relaxes. She runs her fingers through my hair, she pushes into me forcing me backwards. Pulling away she smiles at me.
