This Old Town ✖️Muke

chapter 3

                  When we finally pull up to the ranch we have actually been driving through our land for a while. I pull up to the barns and all the dogs come running. I laugh when Luke yelps, startled by the dogs in the back suddenly barking.

                 I jump out and open the tailgate, petting the others while I let the four out of the back. Luke gets out and all of the dogs run around him, making him shriek. Laughing, I pull his bags out of the back and hand them to him.

               "Relax. That's Levi and Blue, their Australian shepherds, Dallas is a Mudi and Indy is a Catahoula Leopard dog." I explain, pointing out who was in the back of the truck.

                "Levi is mine,it's short for Leviathan, Blue is John's and Dallas and Indy are Ash and Cal's, you'll meet them tomorrow."

                 "So Bailey" I point to her. "German Shepard"

                   "Beaux(bow), Australian Kelpie."

                    "Kai, Aussie Cattle dog, Dezi, Border Collie, Fawn, golden retriever, and last is Harley, he's a flat coated retriever." I point everyone out to him.

                      "Don't worry you get to know them quickly" I laugh at his overwhelmed face.

                     "Oh just wait for the Horses, there's 30 of them" I Laugh again at his horrified expression.

                        "Come on then, let's get you settled. I lead him into the house, kicking off my boots in the mud room.

                        "So your room is the furthest on the right. Have fun" I say, turning to leave the house.

                        "Wait where are you going?" He asks.

                         "I still have work to do, just get unpacked and go to bed. Early day tomorrow" I tell him then walk out of the house, closing the door behind me.

(The next morning)

                       "Rise and shine! Princess!" I slam open the door to the guest room at 6 am the next morning.

                   "Go Awayyyy!" Luke groans, putting his pillow over his head.

                     "Nu-uh, You're getting up. John is still in town so I need your help. Come on Cal and Ash will be here soon." All I get in response is another groan, so I laugh and rip the covers off of him. I'm so glad he sleeps with clothes on.

                   I walk out of the room to start making breakfast which is basically just oatmeal or smoothies. After i've been sitting at the table for a good half hour, Luke comes strolling out.

                   "What the hell are your wearing?" I laugh at his choice of really tight skinny jeans, fancy boots, a red and black striped shirt that I know cost a lot, and a leather jacket.

                      "Clothes, what are you wearing?" he shoots back, eyeing my old blue jeans and flannel in disgust.

                      "Working clothes. Look you have a lot to get used to, so to start," I get up and walk to my room, looking through my drawers and throwing a pair of blue jeans and a white t shirt at him, effectively hitting him in the face.

                      "Now go change pretty boy, i don't got all day" I shoo him off to his room to put the clothes on.

                       "Oh and there are boots at the door, put those on when your done!" I call.
