A Small Town Love Story (A Niall Horan Fan Fiction)

Chapter Seven. " ..before softly attaching his lips to mine."

"You are going to ride 'Moo', Forrests' best friend. An easy ride as long as you pay attention." She says as she winks, knowing exactly what she is doing.

"Sooooo where is he?"

"She is right over here,"  Nina inquired, taking me to the stall across Forrest and over one. 

There stood a black and white paint, equally as tall and beautiful as Forrest. The only diffrence, is that Moo was fatter. Not fat, really, but built. Like  you wouldn't ever want to mess with him. This gave me mixed emotions, saying that when the horses are bulky, they are almost always "gentle giants". Sweet and big teddy bears. The other side of that, however, is that if they arn't the gentle giants that they are almost always played out to be, they are aggressive and disrespectful.

"Are you alright?" Nina asked, showing concern in her eyes, but masking it with a smirk.

"Yeah. But please elaborate on the whole 'Easy as long as you pay attention' bit" 

"Moo can feel exactly what your feeling. So since your pretty guarded with your feelings, I'm going to have to say that you are a tad intimidated. Moo will take advantage of that. So if you don't take control of your feelings, you are going to have to deal with the consiquences. He is not going to do anything too crazy, but you are still going to ride it out."

While she is talking to me, she is taking out Forrest and brushing him, paying extra attention to his lower back.

"Soooo are you going to make yourself useful or just stand there?"

"Give me your brush when your done." I retaliated. "Here, I'm done," Nina said while handing me the brush, and going into a room that I can only assume to be the tack room. 

"Don't forget to grab mine,"  I reminded.

"How many inches are you?" She asked.

"Nine" I said, making sure she new exactly what I mean't.

"Really? I'm a 14 inch sad- oh my god Niall really?" She said, catching what  I meant. "Okay, now seriously, how many inches is your saddle length." Nina said leaning in the door frame. 

"Seventeen." She dismissed me by rolling her eyes and disapearing back into the room.

"Here, Its my dads old one, be careful"

Nina's POV

"Here, it's my dads old one, be careful" I say, lying through my teeth. This is Drews' saddle that my parents got him for Chirstmas last year. Taking away my only reason for him not to go riding with me and taking away my only happiness and escape from him. 

"Okay, would you like me to tie the knot or just pull it through the notch?" He said, suprising me that he actually knew what he was talking about. I couldn't show it, but I was so impressed when he told me his credentials.  The B- Circiut is an impressive league. Its a super sexy quality, a guy who can ride. Drew couldn't ride, he would just go out so he could hit me. The first time he went riding, I gave him Sally. A mare that had some respect issues, and if you didn't know what you were doing, she'd go ape-shit and raise hell. He obviously fell off and had a minor concussion. I really almost felt bad, but the second he was on his feet he beat the shit out of me. The next time we went riding he took forrest and I took Sally. She didn't do anything to me, to his dissapointment and he came to the conclusion that it was a one time thing and I 'Didnt mean it" and he appologized and became all sweet again. That is the strange ass thing with him. He will be so so so sweet at times and be the perfect boyfriend, but then he will flip. Its kinda like a switch. And that really scares me.

"Whatever fits her" I say. I must have sounded like an idiot, waiting so long to reply.

"Done," Niall says at the same moment that I finish mine. 

"I'm guessing this is her bridal," Niall says referring to the one hanging on the nail next to her stall.

I nod my head in response and bridal Forrest.

 "How much time do you have to ride? Because I have four different  trails we can ride, that differ in time"

"Nina we skipped school" Niall says, making me feel like an idiot. Its only ten to 10 in the morning! 

"Do you wanna take lunch and do the two and a half hour trail?" I said, "We can stop at the pond and eat sandwiches or something. We can even go swimming."

"Oh! Ye-Yeah lets do it."  

"Okay, C'mon, I will make some food then change, and you can just swim in your shorts?" I said, thanking god that he was wearing basketball shorts.

"Deal." I was inwardly beaming at his rushed words and reddening cheeks. He wanted to be alone with me. And I defiantly wanted to be with him.

___

I made three sandwiches, two for him and one for me, and I was heading upstairs when I felt fingers grab my forearm, and spin me around.

My body comes into contact with Nialls broad chest. "Are you almost ready?" He inquired, his voice deeper than before and his eyes were peering straight into mine. He didn't even give me time to reply before softly attaching his lips to mine. A long, smooth, sweet kiss. Nothing more. He let me go and I replied to his prior question with a nod and ran upstairs with a smile on my face and butterflies in my stomach.
