Horse Ridin' (Motionless In White)

Chapter 8: Normal Meals For Strange People

Ghost was coming to visit today.

So were Ricky and Balz.

And the girls were scrambling.

Suddenly, the usual riding pants and shirt they wore when working around the barn wasn't nice enough. They didn't want the guys to see them wearing something so... dirty looking despite it being a barn, meaning they were both rushing around their rooms looking for something 'nicer' to wear.

"Are you gonna wear a polo?" Rosaline yelled to her sister, looking back and forth between a 'nicer' t-shirt and a black polo. 

"Fuck, that's a good idea!" Sirenia gasped, rushing into the room and nearly sliding into her sister as her socks slid on the hardwood. "We should wear our Covenant polos! The ones Jared got us that have our names on them!"

Rosaline realized what she meant immediately, looking down to see she was actually holding that exact polo in her hand. "That's a really good idea!"

The polos were fairly plain with just enough spark to stand out. Their base color was black (of course) with Covenant Stables printed in corresponding colors (red for Rosaline, blue for Sirenia) across the whole left breast. Across the right was the girl's name and their title, meaning Rosaline had 'Head Instructor & Rescue Coordinator' while Sirenia had 'Head Trainer'. Their logo- the outline of 2 horses with their manes blowing in the wind- was printed in bright red across the back of Rosaline's and blue across the back of Sirenia's.

The titles were quite useless in reality but made the girls sound a lot more put-together and professional than they actually were. Rosaline handled most of the lessons, so she immediately became 'Head Instructor' by default and as she also handled most of the rescue horses when they first came to Covenant she'd gotten that title too. Sirenia was their head trainer, meaning she handled all of the intense training and re-training that their resale horses got and a good bit of what went into their school horses. It was a good situation both the girls were happy with.

And now the cool, custom polos they had that announced their jobs to the world were finally going to come in handy.

Both sisters changed into their polo quickly, rushing back downstairs in the direction of the door. Their dogs followed close behind, absently wondering why their people were rushing out the door without any real reason.

The guys were meant to be there in about a half hour, meaning they didn't have time to start riding any of the horses on their list before they'd arrive. What did that leave them to do? Nothing in the barn needed to be done and there were no lessons to teach, meaning they were relatively free until 3 of the guys would be there.

Obviously that was a good thing considering they entered the barn to see Jared, Ghost, Ricky and Balz staring back at them.

Rosaline's eyes widened. "W-why are you here?"

"You make it sound like you don't want to see us or something!" Balz joked, his eyes scanning up and down Sirenia's body slowly. "Nice shirts, by the way. Very professional looking."

"We weren't expecting you for another half hour." Sirenia started, her voice quiet again. "We weren't really... ready."

Jared's eyebrows scrunched. "And how were you planning to get ready?"

Shrugging, Rosaline looked down at her feet. "Probably h-hide."

Ricky's eyes narrowed slightly, glancing over at Balz and Ghost curiously before looking back at the embarrassed girl. What could he do to calm her down? He knew from talking to Jared that the two sisters fed off each other so he didn't want to ask her to go off with him on their own, so what were their options?
