Chapter one:

I wasn't expecting to fall in love when I lived with my auntie charla one summer. I especially wasn't expecting to fall in love with someone totally different from me in every way. I didn't expect anything that happened that summer to be honest...

"Are you unpacked? I have lunch ready downstairs when you are done." Charla left me alone in the room.

I was stuck with her for the whole summer. My parents decided that they should take a trip of their own, without me. Of all people, they stuck me with charla, my crazy aunt. She was mom's sister, and dad did not like her at all, but she was the only relative willing to spend a whole summer with a 'teenage brat'.

I walked downstairs after unpacking all my bags. Sure enough, charla had made lunch for me. A grilled cheese with tomato basil soup was sitting on the table next to a glass of apple juice. It was my favorite meal, and it always had been. How did she know?

By the time I had finished eating she came back into the house from outside.

"Done?" She smiled at me. "Boy are we gonna have fun this summer! I'm so glad you decided to come and spend time with me."

I didn't choose. I was forced, but I didn't tell her that. I just smiled back at her and nodded.

"So tell me, you got a boyfriend? At your age you outta have one, especially with that pretty face of yours."

"Dad won't let me date. 'No point in it' is what he says."

"Well that's just plain nonsense. Your mother and father both had fun at your age. I can't believe they wouldn't let you do the same. We will just have to fix that this summer. There's plenty of cute boys around here."

"Thanks but no thanks. I can survive without clinging onto a guys arm. I can do it by myself."

She smiled at me. "Your mother said the same thing I hope you know. See how far that got her?" She chuckled and took my plate and cup to the kitchen.

"Mind if I take a look around your place for a while?"

"No not at all. Be my guest. You can take one of the horses if you would like. There's a lot of walking if you don't."

Horses? There was no way I was going to ride a horse.

I walked around to the barn in her backyard. I could hear the horses. Maybe I would just look at them, but there was no way I was going to get on one of them.

There were four of them. Two were brown with white spots, one was black, and one was a gray color. They were pretty but still scary.

The gray one held my gaze for a long time. It didn't blink once, just stared at me.

I started to reach up to pet it until I heard someone. "I wouldn't do that if I were you. He tends to be feisty."

He was cute. Not the horse, the guy. He was tall and dark, with dark hair and blue eyes. I had to stop myself from drooling.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Alexander. I work for charla. Who are you?" He winked at me!

"I'm Hailee. I'm charla's niece."

He chuckled. "Trust me, I know who you are. Charla has been talking about you coming nonstop for the past month atleast. She was really excited about you coming. She thought you hated her."

"Oh."

"Have you ever ridden one?"

"Huh?"

"A horse. Have you ever ridden a horse?"
