Clear as Day (Scotty McCreery fanfic)

Chapter 28- Trail Riding

On the trail ride Scotty and April and, Emily and Mick raced to see who would get to the field that was about a mile up. Even though April is faster than Mick, Scotty didn’t have a saddle so he had to be little more careful, balance wise. That’s how it was easier for Mick to keep up with them. By the time they got to the trail all that could be heard was thundering hooves and both Em and Scotty screaming “I’m gunna beat you!” April won by a nose length, if only Mick’s neck was longer.

~Emily’s POV

Racing through the trees was so exhilarating! I forgot how fun it is to race full speed and not have to worry about turning barrels.

“Even without a saddle I could still beat you.” Scotty teased.

“That’s just because your horse is faster.” I said.

“Oh really, how do you wanna settle this, how about a rematch?”

“Yeah but we both use Mick fastest barrel run wins!” I challenged.

“Hmm sounds good to me, first one back to the barn gets to go first!” And he and April were off like a rocket.

“Not fair you guys got a head start” I was yelling after them, only to catch up a few strides later. Mick and I actually beat them back and skidded into the ring just before they did. “Hah good its ladies first anyways.” I said while laughing.

Scotty got off April and put her back out with Cowboy and Destiny, my mom and dad’s horses. He got back and I handed him my watch as a timer.

“Ready, steady, go!!” He yelled.

Mick and I cantered off making it look like it was nothing. We rounded the last barrel and raced home to get a time of 1:46! “Hah beat that.” I said to Scotty as I jumped off Mick’s back and handed him the reins.

Scotty got on and got in the starting gate. “Ready, steady, go!” I’m pretty sure my run was much faster but time will tell. He got back at 1:47!! I read the watch to him and he was impressed with himself, even though he lost. We brought Mick back inside and cleaned him and to put back out in the pasture, when Scotty’s phone rang.

~Scotty’s POV

Emily put up a great fight, and I think I did pretty well for not having ridden Mick in quite a while. She led him back out with the other horses and my phones rang. Mom?

*Answers it*

S:” Hello?”

Mom:” Hey sweetheart, your dad and I heard that you won! Why didn’t you tell us?”

S: “I figured you be in a meeting and too busy to talk, as usual,” which came out with a little more attitude that I meant for.

Mom: “Yes but we will be home tomorrow will you be in town to get us at the airport around 10am?”

S: “No, I’ll be in school, and I’ve been living with the Lynch’s, so you don’t have to worry about me.” I said as I hung up.

Emily was right next to my side and asked what was wrong.

“I don’t know it’s just I haven’t heard from them in a couple weeks and they think I can drop everything and pick them up at the airport.”

“Don’t worry about it, I bet they just wanted to see you.” She said.

“Yeah but it’s just annoying how they can be gone for so long and then call like they never left.” I didn’t really expect her to understand so I wasn’t going to get into a fight with her about it. We walked back to my truck and she drove us back to the house.

We got back just in time for dinner with the family. I thought it was a perfect time to propose but I didn’t have a ring yet. I wanted to give Em my Great Gram Ivy’s ring, but that was in my mother’s jewelry box at home. I’d obviously need permission to have it and that would mean going home and apologizing before I ask her for the ring. Then of course I would need Bruce’s permission. I just let it go for now.

What we had to worry about tomorrow was the start of our second semester tomorrow, and having to go back to school.
