Rope or Ride

This Aint My First Rodeo

Jade was off to her first pro rodeo. Its good thing all of em were up friday night. They were heading to Odessa Texas.

They had to pull two different rigs. Kollin was hauling his horses and Tyler's. Cody pulled his and Jade's. But instead of partners traveling with partners, Jade rode with Kollin. Tyler rode with Cody.

Hours has pasted and they finally pulled into Odessa. Jade couldnt be any more excited. The four of em checked in and payed for stalls. Kollin paid for his and Jades. Cody and Tyler paid for their own. Once they settled in, they were off to explore Odessa. But Cody kept whining about food. They picked a steakhouse.

"You ready for tomorrow Jade" Kollin asked

"Yeah.. excited but at the same time nervous" Jade said

"You'll get over the jitters in no time"

"easy for you to say... your a world champ" Jade said jokingly

"ok...ok.. it took me awhile to get over the jitters"

"Thats what I thought"

"Hey!"

"Haha.. Im kidding babe"

Throughout dinner, it was all laughs. Trying keep the jitters away for Jade.

By the time they were done eating, it was late. Jade wanted to watch morning slack. Kollin and Jade headed back to the trailer. Cody and Tyler roamed around Odessa more.

Kollin and Jade made it back to the fairgrounds. Jade pulled out her dummy from the trailer.

"Babe.." Kollin asked

"Yeah"

"After Odessa... Tyler and I will be heading to Logandale.. and you and Cody will be in Clovis California"

"What? Already... well guess we better make the best of it tonight.. huh"

"I can think of some things..."

"Is that so.. what do you have in mind"

"Well first.. i need my rope and two.. i can let you figure than one out"

Jade and Kollin spent all night roping and messing around.

The next day was the big day. Well for Jade that is. Jade got ready for the day and made her way to the arena. She left Kollin in the trailer because he was still sleeping. Jade walked over to the box and studied the cattle and scoring line. Since she was a bit lazy to pay attention, she ended up recording the whole team roping. Jade was stoked for tonight. Now that she has her work cut out for her.

She met some of her favorites. Jade asked questions but she didnt tell anyone she was roping tonight. Jade was starting to love this life. After a brief conversation with the king of rodeo, Jade made her way back to the trailer.

She got in the trailer and Kollin was still sleeping. She smiled and walked towards the bed. Jade crawled next to him. She laid there until she felt a arm wrap around her waist. Jade turned her head and made eye contact with Kollin.

"How was slack" he asked

"Pretty good.. a 4.5 is leading the team.. the cattle seem simple.. score line is bout a foot shorter than the box."

"mmm.. whose leading the team"

"Trevor and Travis"

"Sounds like a tough one to beat"

"Seems dueable"

"haha... like me"

"Oh lord... you have no idea" Jade said saracastically
