Cinderella's Cowboy

Chapter Nine

What? Why doesn’t he have a chance now? Who does he have to go up against? A picture of a boy starts to form in my mind. He has dirty blond hair with radiant green eye, and a smile that seems so natural, makes it look like he could never be sad. His body is toned from hard work and tan from being out side. This boy in my mind makes me feel light headed. He is sweet and caring and has the most beautiful voice. When we sing together it feels like nothing is stopping me.

What? No, hell no! This is not happing I am not falling for Dylan Fisher. I can’t, there is no way that I could be. We hardly even talk to each other. Could I? He does not seem to be the guy I thought he was. He is nice, not at all full of himself, and he truly loves his horse. He has been nothing but nice to me from the day we met to now when I was trying to make him mad. No he just wants to see me ride that is all. He wants me to make a fool out of me and date one of the twins. But he has seen me ride. He saw me ride when I didn’t want him to. But he doesn’t know it was me. He could, I could just tell him. No, he probably has forgotten about it by now.

I will not let myself fall for him. I will not be his charity case. I will not let him make fun of me.

I feel like I just fell into a cliché, that’s how it starts, girl falls for boy. Boy falls for girl, something breaks them up. They get back together. Then they live happily ever after. That is just fucking great. Now that I said that it will probably happen, just what I need more issues.

Without my knowing Pattie has taken us back to the barn. I look around and see that the twins are not back yet. I hop of Pattie and un-tack her, texting Jamie letting her know that I took her out. I put Pattie back in her stall and put her tack away. I start to feed the horses when I hear the twins’ voices. They probably talked the whole trail ride. I walk out front and wait for them to get off. The three of them hop off and I lead Kisses and Snuggles into the barn. I cross tie them and start to un-tack them. Dylan does the same with Magic while the twins continue to talk to him then leave. I put the horses back in their stalls and put their tack in the tack room chatting with Dylan as he does the same.

Me: I was planning on letting Magic out is that okay with you?

Dylan: Sure where are you going to put her all of the pastures are full.

Me: She can go out with Lilly.

Dylan: I told you she doesn’t get along with other horses.

Me: Yes and I told you that we would find someone she does.

I have been grouping horses up long enough to know which horses will get along and I have a feeling that they will.

Dylan: Fine but I don’t want her out to long I have to give her a bath for the show tomorrow.

Me: She won’t be I just want to see if they will get along.

God when did he start getting mean? I guess I don’t have to worry about falling for him anymore.

Dylan: Okay.

He goes to grab Magic and I grab a lung whip and a lead line. The whip is only to keep them away from each other in case they start to go after each other. I know that Lilly will not do anything to Magic, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Dylan comes out with Magic walking besides him. I can’t help myself but check him out. He is wearing well-fitting jeans and a tight t-shirt one. I am clearly able to see his muscles under it. My eyes travel up to his face a stop on his lips. They look soft and I wonder what it would be like to kiss them…

What?! No, I don’t not want to know what they feel like, I can’t. I am the girl that has the body but does not date. I’m the girl that cares more about horses than boy. I am the girl that is not going to be toyed with. I am Whitney, and I Do Not Like Dylan.
