My Southern Love
Chapter 1
*(Unedited)*
"Wish I could reach up and reset that sun,
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up,
Went by so fast,
Oh so sweet,
Make me want to make me remake a memory."
I sang along to the radio playing "Rewind" by Rascal Flatts. After what seemed like days of driving, we finally pull up to this beautiful white, two story house with a wrap around porch, that looked somewhat outdated, but I really liked it.
"Riah, we're here." my dad said as he lead me inside the front door.
I walk up a spiral staircase to the second story of the house only to find a hallway with 3 doors on each side. I open the first door that I go to which is the second one on the right, and my jaw drops when I see a perfect sized bedroom. There was a queen bed, and two dressers already in the room. I set my suitcases down on the bed and start to take out my clothes and other belongings that I brought with me. After about half of my unpacking is done, I start to procrastinate looking around the room when I catch a glimpse of someone outside my window. As I walk across the spacious room to the window, I get a better look. Woah.
He had chocolate brown hair, baby blue eyes, with adorable dimples to perfectly finish off his narrow face. He had pretty big muscles, but he wasn't totally jacked. He wore a fitted, light blue shirt that hugged his stomach so that you could see the outline of his abs. He had on light washed, straight legged jeans with Chippowa work boots. He was gorgeous and I couldn't even deny it.
I walked out of my room and tried to back track to find my way down the stairs. Once i finally found them i roamed around the house. Off of the stairwell there was a hall way that lead to the kitchen. The kitchen was huge! There was a sliding glass door that lead to the back yard. I walked out and started roaming.
I kept walking until i came across a big red barn. The white detailed doors were open and i wandered in. There were many stalls that were occupied by horses. There was this one horse, at the end of the barn that stood out. She was white. And she had brown spots all over her. She was beautiful. I walked over to her stall and her name plate said 'Hope'. I rubber her nose.
"Hiya, beautiful. How are you doing?"
She neighed and i giggled. I knew from that point on that she was my horse. I gave her a treat that i grabbed from the bin in the front. She ate it and i laughed because her whiskers tickled my palm. I kept petting her until i heard something from the other side of the barn.
It was the guy, that i saw outside of my window. He was leaned up against the side of the barn, staring at me.
"Oh god, you scared me." I said nearly having a heart attack.
"Sorry, that just amuse me." He replied in his thick southern accent.
"What does?"
"The fact that you got her to like you that fast. It took me weeks to get her to like me." He said.
"Oh, well i guys its a gift." I smiled petting her.
"Yeah, I guess." He said smirking with his dimples showing, walking closer to me. He sticks out his hand and says "I'm Dustin, I work here."
I take his ginormous hand and immediately feel something. "Im Mariah, i live here."
He smiles and says "welcome home." Wow his smile is perfect. The way his dimples show and you can just barely see his teeth. His brown hair was stuck to his his head with sweat, it was kinda sex--
"Earth to Mariah?"
When I realize what i was thinking, i start blushing and i look down.
"Yeah, sorry."
He chuckles, "it's alright, but like i was saying, its nice to meet you."
"Yeah you too." I smile as we start walking out of the barn. He walks over to a ford f150, which i assume is his. "Leave already?" I ask almost too eagerly.
"Yeah, I'm going to a bomb fire, wanna come?" He asks.
"No, sorry. I think Im gonna unpack some more. Thanks though." I reply.
I walk in the house and theres music playing. I smile and walk up to my room an start to unpack more, thinking about Dustin's-- I mean what i'm going to do tomorrow.
