A Country Rebel Love Song

Chapter Thirty-two

*one week later*
  This is our day at England before our flight back to my house in Georgia. So Andy had decided that he wanted to go and see the horses at the horse stables. So I got dressed into a pair of destressed jeans, a white tshirt, a maroon Hollister hoodie, and my black boots. I came out of the bathroom and Andy was dressed in his normal black jeans and a hoodie with boots. He smiles.
    "You ready?"
He asks.
    "Yup."
I say.
  We walk out to the car and Andy opens my door and I climb inside. He then closes the door behind me. I smile and he joggs around to the other side and climbs in. He then drives to the horse stables. We get out and head to the stables. Mr. Black is talking to a younger kid, around fifteen. Mr. Black smiles when he sees us.
    "I didn't expect to see you guys back."
He says, shaking Andy's hand.
     "Well, it's our last day here and we decided to come down here and see the horses for a little while before we had to go back and start packing."
Andy says.
    "Well, you guys are definitely welcome to come and see the horses for a little while."
He says.
  We walk into the barn and the horses neigh. Andy smiles.
    "It's so nice to be back here. Around horses."
I say.
    "Yeah, I come out here all the time to clear my head."
Mr. Black's son says.
    "Yeah, horses used to be big in my family until my parents passed and I was out into a care home until my grandparents and aunt agreed to take care of me."
I say.
    "Why don't you get horses now?"
He asks.
    "Well, I don't exactly live in the best neighborhood so someone would either steal them or shoot them."
I explain.
    "Oh that sucks."
He says.
    "Yeah, but I'm about to move to L.A. as well so I won't be able to get any there either."
I say.
  Andy comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my waist. He then rested his chin on my shoulder. I smile and shake my head at his adorableness. He chuckles and kisses my temple.
    "I love you."
He whispers.
    "I love you too."
I whisper back.
  Mr. Black smiles.
    "You two are a lovely couple."
He says.
    "Thank you."
Andy says with a smile.
  Mr. Black chuckles. I gasp slightly when Star pushes her head against my side. I hadn't even realized that we had gotten close to her stall. I smiled and turned to pet her.
    "Hey there girl."
I say, patting her on the neck.
  She neighed and nudged her nose into my hand. I rubbed her nose and up in between her eyes.
    "I'm really going to miss you."
I say.
  She sighs. I chuckle and shake my head.
    "You're a goofball."
I said.
  Andy chuckles from behind me.
    "What?"
I ask, turning around to face him.
    "It's just that you are talking to her like she is human."
He says.
    "Andy, she doesn't known that she isn't human."
I say.
  He laughs. That's when Star pushs me into Andy. Andy, thank goodness, catches me before I fall straight onto my face. I turned and shot her a look. She neighed, like she was laughing at me.
    "Oh you think that is funny?"
I say.
  She neighed once again. I shake my head. Mr. Black chuckles and smiles.
    "You know, she really has taken a liking to you."
He says.
  I smile and nodd.
    "She is such a sweetie."
I say.
  He chuckles and nodds.
    "That she is, that she is. She is a real popular with the younger kids. They usually pick her when they first start off with riding. That and your boyfriend's buddy, Lucy. They are the two most popular ones. That and we have a male that is pretty popular as well, mostly with the teenagers that come through though. He can be hard to handle. He's a michevious little thing."
He says.
  Andy chuckles.
    "Honestly I think all horses are a little michevious."
Andy says, as the horse we walk by tries to nibble on Andy's hair.
  I chuckled as Andy ducked away from the horse.
    "Point and case."
Mr. Black's son says.
    "You guys want some lunch?"
He asks.
  I giggled slightly when Andy's stomach growled.
    "I take that as a yes."
He says.
  We follow Mr. Black and his son into their house which is behind the house stables. We walk inside and the smell of cinnamon overtakes my senses. I smile slightly.
    "My house in Florida used to always smell like cinnamon. It's nice to find someone that still likes the smell for their house."
I say, with a smile.
  Mr. Black chuckles.
    "Yeah, my wife liked to the smell, so it just kind of stuck after she passed away."
He says.
  He soon starts making sandwiches. I jump up and start helping. He smiles.
    "You didn't have to help."
He says.
    "Oh, it's okay."
I say, a smile on my face.
  Once we finished, I hand Andy a plate. He smiles.
    "Thanks, Angel."
He says.
  I smile and sit down beside him and start eating my good as well. Once we are finished, I carry mine and Andy's plate to the sink and wash them.
    "Oh you didn't have to do that."
He says.
    "Oh, it's fine. I'm used to it I guess. When you are an only child, and your parents work all the time you learn how to do stuff for yourself. Then when you go to an adoption center it is also the same way. You either learn to fend for yourself or you don't live pretty much."
I say.
    "Yeah, I guess you have a point there."
He says, as I dry my hands off on a towel.
  I soon go back and sit beside Andy. He smiles and wraps his arm around my shoulder and presses a kiss to my temple. I smile and press a kiss to his cheek. A light blush graces across his cheekbones. I giggle slightly and shake my head. He smiles and rests his head on my shoulder. We sat around, joking with Mr. Black and his son, Alex until around four in the evening. Andy soon stands up and stretches.
    "Well, we should head on back to the cabin. We have a early flight in the morning, and we still have to make sure that everything is all packed up."
Andy says.
    "Alright, you two take care."
He says.
    "We will."
Andy says, shaking hands with Mr. Black and his son.
  I give them a smile and then hug then each.
    "Maybe we'll see you again one day."
I say.
  He smiles.
    "Maybe when you are back in this neck of the woods you can stop by and see us."
He says.
    "Yeah, maybe."
Andy says with a smile.
  Mr. Black and his son walk us to our car. We climb inside.
    "Y'all be careful."
Mr. Black says.
    "We will."
Andy says through the rolled down window.
  We wave and Andy backs out of the driveway. He drives to the cabin. We climb out of the car and walk into the cabin. I make my way through the house, making sure that we didn't leave anything out in our packing. Andy chuckles at my frantic measures to make sure that we didn't leave anything behind. He holds up one of my sports bras. I blush and take it from him. I guess I dropped it when I brought the dirty clothes from the bathroom last night. Andy chuckles and shakes his head. I finished my rounds through the house and determined that we hadn't left anything behind. I soon plopped down on the couch beside Andy. He chuckles and shakes his head.
    "You feel better now?"
He asks.
    "Yes, I had to make sure that we didn't leave anything because there would be no way to get it back."
I say.
    "Yeah, I guess you have a point there."
He says.
  We sit cuddling on the couch.
    "How do we get the rental car back?"
He asks.
    "Well, I rented it from the airport so we just have to drop it back off at the airport before the flight tomorrow morning."
I say.
    "Alright, that's simple then. I figured like we would have to carry it in tonight and call a cab in the morning or something."
He says.
  I shake my head.
    "Nah. I wouldn't have done it if it would have been something like that."
I say.
  We decide to find something to watch on tv. Andy finds one of the Batman movies and smiles. I chuckle and shake my head. He smiles, innocently.
    "But it's Batman. How can you turn down Batman?"
He says.
    "Good point. I grew up on Batman."
I say.
  He chuckles.
    "I did as well. The comics, the show, movies, everything."
He says.
  We end up watching two Batman movies before we decided that it was time to go to bed, because we have an early flight tomorrow. We walked into the bedroom and Andy set an alarm on his phone for two hours before the flight. With that, I went and changed into the pajamas that I had left out, which was one of Andy's tshirts and a pair of leggings. I then crawled into bed beside Andy. He pulled the blankets around us, and clicked the beside lamp off. I cuddled into his chest and drifted off to sleep listening to his gentle heartbeat.
