The Double Life (One Direction, Niall Horan)

The Double Life *9*

“So how exactly are we suppose to catch these horses?” Harry asked, making a face as he avoided a pile of horse poop. He liked horses but not like this. Harry would rather a horse, then to take care of one, not 10. The others shrugged, they really didn't know, since the horses were already caught and prepped for them. They all turned to Niall, who seemed in thought about the situation, before he walked back into the barn, ignoring the girls who glanced at him, before grabbing five ropes that were in a pile, and walked back out into the pasture. Handing one rope to the boys, he made his way towards a Fjord, who looked at him from the corner of her eye. The boys watched, silently, as he slowly made his way over to the horse. The Fjord softly pawed at the ground as Niall made his way over. She neighed before bolting away, as soon as he was close enough. Niall silently cursed before heading back over to the boys, who looked a little lost.

“Be slow going up to a unknown horse. Since they don't know you, and you don't them, the results could be a disaster.” Niall said, before they all heard clapping behind them. They turned, only to find Allie there.

“Very good Niall.” She said, just as a Dun stallion was instantly by her side, nudging her for treats. Allie quietly laughed as she petted the Stallion on the head. The boys were amazed at how the horse just came up to her like nothing.

“It seems you know something about horses.” Allie nodded in approval, “But when dealing with a new horse, let them sniff your hand, that way they can get to know you a little better, so they won't be afraid anymore.” She told them before turning back into the barn, the Stallion following behind, hoping to get treats. Snapping out the amazement, Niall tried once again, the boys each slowly trying to get their own. Liam tried for a Appaloosa , Harry tried for a Haflinger, Louis tried for a Paint, Zayn tried for a American Quarter horse while Niall once again tried for the Fjord.

~4 hours later~

The girls watched quietly as the boys tried over and over again to try to catch the horses. Laughing quietly to themselves, they realized about a 10 minutes in that the horses were teasing and playing with the boys. It was quiet a show to the girls.

“When do you think they will realize that the horses are playing with them?” Cher said, watching as Harry got close enough, only to have the horse prance away. The others shrugged, not really caring. They where more interested in the show that was going on. They continued to watch until the sound of a crotch rocket made its arrival as Chey came flying past the pasture, making the horses run with her. The horses were lead by the Friesian, who jumped the fence, leaving the others to skid to a halt. Everyone watched as the Friesian and Chey disappeared behind the house. Not even a few minutes later the Friesian came galloping back, but with a rider on his back. Jumping the fence, the horses once again followed him, before coming to a halt in front of the boys, who where now by the girls.

“Nice of you to finally join us, Chey.” Chey rolled her eyes at Lily's small comment.

“Thanks Lil, but I would have been earlier but someone decided they where gonna take their sweet ass time in choosing their tattoo..” She scowled, before glancing around. Her eyes stopped on the reins the boys were holding. What exactly was going on? She turned her head towards Cher, who moved her eyes to Allie, Chey's following.

“Eh the boys where helping with getting the horses in for the night.” Nodding at the words, she turned back to the boys, only to glance between them and the horses. Then why weren't they in their stalls by now? Then it clicked, she grinned and quietly laughed.

“What? What's so funny?” Lois asked, tilting his head in confusion. Why where the girls laughing at them? Did they do something wrong? Calming down, Chey twisted her body around, allowing her back to rest against the Friesian's neck,
