Kia

Chapter 3: Fanny's Fancy Parlor

I woke up to the early morning gleam of the sun warming my face. Today I need to ride Kia and scope out the town. Apparently its known for home made soft served ice cream!

After I put my hair in a high bun and dressed in my Lope for Hope pink hoodie and dark washed Q-babies, I headed out to the barn. Kia had her head low and back foot cocked, taking a short nap.

"Hey pretty girl, ready to work?" I grabbed her coral nylon Weaver halter and matching leadrope. Since I havent unpacked my tack from the trailer (which is another thing I must do today) I just lead her to the trailer parked on the side of the big red barn.

I tied Kia up to our 3 horse Trailswest gooseneck and brushed her down, although she didn't really need it. Once she was spotless and her hooves were picked out, I threw an Impact Pad on her back since I'm going to do a lot of reining and that can be hard on her back. Then I swung my training reining saddle and cinched her up. After the saddle was secure, I grabbed her one eared headstall and long split reins that I got from my birthday from Heritage Brand.

I usually lunge her to work the muscles that haven't been worked. She will definitely need alot of lunging after 5 days in a trailer, barely moving.

After 30 minutes of long trotting on the lunge line, I tightened her girth and mounted my short but stocky golden horsey. I finished her warmup by loping small and large circles with transitions and flying lead changes. Then we worked on spinning on her haunches and tucking her hindquarters for the sliding stops.

3 hours later, I was walking my pooped horse around the arena and playing on my phone. I looked up things to do in the new town we moved into. There was a mall, an arcade and bowling alley, and an ice cream place. It said Fanny's Fancy Parlor. Hmm. Interesting! I will have to check that out at one point today.

Once Kia was rinsed and happily munching in the pasture, I headed inside. Thank the Lord for the mud room or the whole house would have been dirty in an instant. I took off my hoodie and worn out boots with large spurs and walked into the kitchen. Mom was busy talking to her BFF, Kathy, about the new house. She waved to me then pointed to the phone, and I smiled and shook my head, walking upstairs into my room.

My clothes were in the closet all organized because my mom loves me. She also decorated my bathroom "cowgirl" themed, with light turquoise and rusty brown colors. It was adorable!

I took a shower and blow dryed my brown with faded blonde highlighted hair that went down to my lower back. I just threw it into a french braid. After I was squeaky clean and had applied mascara, I changed into VS pink grey leggings and a TCU pullover. (Future school, BTW.)

"Hey mom, I'm going to an ice cream parlor down the street. Do you wanna come?" I said as I was pulling on my purple uggs, matching my wonderful pullover.

"Sorry Bay, I'm trying to finish the living rooms finishing touches, bring me some home please." She said, peaking around the corner. When my mom starts decorating, she can't stop until the whole house is finished.

"Ok, I'm taking the truck." I explained as I grabbed the keys off the island. "Love ya!"

She replied with "I love you too" and I closed the front door. I walked out to the Ford F150 and jumped in. The parlor was just down the road, so it must be pretty easy to find.

I was right, it was just 5 minutes away. The ice cream place was pretty small, but it was cute. It looked very old fashioned. From rainbow sherbert to Evermint, there were many flavors! I decided on mint chocolate chip because I am a boring person and ordered the same for my mom.

The ice cream was wonderful! I gobbled it all down in no time. Right when I was munching on the cone, a beautiful human being walked into the parlor.

He was gorgeous and masculine with dirty brown tousled hair and big brown eyes. Oh my goodness. His smile was perfect, every tooth in place. He had dark washed jeans and a light blue t shirt. His eyes wandered around the parlor and we suddenly locked eyes. It felt like minutes had passed until I awkwardly looked away. I slowly look down and study my half eaten cone while I tried not to look up.

I'm pretty sure he is looking at me. And I am also sure I look like a total retard.

When I thought things would get more awkward, my phone went off. And me, being myself, stuffed it in my nike sports bra. I was just going to let it go, but it wouldn't stop. So after 3472405732 noises I awkwardly grabbed my iphone 5s and looked at my screen. Of course.

Birthgiver (aka mom) 6 missed calls

Birthgiver: Hurry up I want ice cream :)

Birthgiver: NOW

Birthgiver: If you aren't home in 5, you're grounded missy.

I looked up again, seeing if the mysterious guy was still looking at me.

Nope. Hes ordering ice cream. Good thing. I texted my bothersome mom back.

Me: MOM CALM DOWN. I have your ice cream. I'll be home soon.

Before she could answer my text, I got up and walked out the little door. Thank God I didn't have to talk to him. That would have been so embarrassing. I jumped into the truck and put the keys into the ignition. Then it happened.

My stupid truck wouldn't start. Great. And to make things worse, HE walked out.

I jumped out of the truck and walked to the front, opening the smoking hood. It blew into my face and I was coughing like a maniac. I probably looked like a retard in front of this hot guy. What is my life.

"Urm, do you need help?" I heard a deep voice say. Holy crap. I looked up and saw him. His dark brown eyes staring deep into mine. I'm not exactly sure how long this was happening, but it wasn't all that bad. But things quickly escalated. A 17 year old looking blonde stormed out of a truck in overly short spandex and an oversized hoodie coming straight towards us.

"Um.. what's hap-" "GET AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIEND NOW OR YOU'LL PAY." She screeched. I then realized that this boy and I were a little bit too close then quickly stepped back. "I'm so sorry I promise it wasn't anything, he was just helping me with my truck. I'm really sorry!" She mumbled back, "You better be. It's not going to happen again. Right?" She smirked at me and I nodded slowly with my eyes wide. "Come on baby, lets go home." I waved awkwardly as the attractive guy was pulled away by the slutty blonde.

Ok, that was really strange. Well so much for a friendly happy town! Gosh. I jumped into my truck and thankfully it started back up with out any problems. Boy, I really wonder what that girls problem was.
