Nice Try

Natalie's POV

" Hey, Steven?" I said. He is the one who takes care of the horses.

" Hey, Natalie!!! What's up? Long time no see." He said and I briefly hugged him.

" Was a bit busy. How are you doing?" I asked him.

" Doing great along with the farm. How about you?" He asked me.

" Absolutely fantastic, I am." I said.

" Came alone?" He asked.

" No, they are coming." I said.

" Oh, Natasha and Noel came too?" He asked me.

" Yeah, mom and dad too. And someone whom you will love to meet." I said.

" And who is that person, may I ask you?" He said.

" No, you may not." I said laughing at him.

" Not funny." He said.

" Natasha's fiance. Christian Knight. He came too." I said.

" Oh, really??" He asked.

" Yeah, he has come with us." I said.

" I would love to meet him." He said and I chuckled.

" I know you will." I said.

" That's great. Wanna ride?" He asked.

" That's why am here." I said.

" Great then. There is your Draco." He said looking at Draco. I ran to him and hugged him. He leaned on me. I kissed on his neck.

" I missed you big boy." I said to him patted his back.

" Come on, Draco. Let's go on a date." I said and Steven laughed.

" Why do you always say that to him?" He asked me. I pulled Draco out with me.

" Cause he is my first boyfriend. He has all right to go on a date with me." I said and winked at him. I need to make Draco ready for the ride on him. I settled the saddle and bridle. I tied up a western cinch. Then I mount up on Draco.

" Ready to go?" Steven asked me.

" Completely." I said. " Are you ready, big boy?" I asked Draco. He hit his feet on the ground. I hold the bridle.

" Ok, big boy. Let's ride." I said and Draco started to walk.

Draco is a trained horse. Draco was a gift from my grandpa's friend. It's an interesting story how I got him. When I was 10, once I went to a ranch with my grandpa. I, Natasha and Noel. It was a summer vacation and Grandpa wanted to visit his friend. We accompanied him. When we reached there we found the beautiful ranch had many of animals and horses was one of them. I used to didn't like animals before but when we reached the ranch. It was best summer vacation ever. We learned a lot about the animals.

One evening we were walking around and I found one of the rancher was riding a horse. I wanted to ride one as well. I told him and he helped me to ride on the horse. And I started to ride the horse regularly. The same horse and that was my Draco. He was such a charming creature. He was stark black in color. He was just amazing. He was trained and he was 7 years old. Draco was a calm horse and I slowly fall in love with him. I was too attracted with him. I started to spend time with him. Soon my vacation ended and we had to come back. I had to leave Draco then. I was very upset. The last day I ride him I was so sad. I said bye to him. But I didn't want to leave him. The next day we were coming back from the ranch and told the rancher to take care of Draco. I was going to miss him so much. We came back home and I was waiting for the next summer vacation. But I didn't need to wait that long. On the Birthday that Ranch owner gifted me Draco. That's how Draco was my horse. I love this horse a lot. At least I can say that.

I saw Natasha's horse Ginger. No it's not red. Don't worry. It's a pure white horse. The fact she was named Ginger because Natasha was a Ginger this why she named her ginger. But she has many other names too like : snow-white, maximus, cutie pie, cotton candy (rolling eyes) list goes on. All given by her owner. But Ginger is a beautiful horse. Very very attractive. One of her strange attitude is she doesn't let anyone ride her but Natasha. Even she recognizes me. Doesn't allow me as well.

Then there was Noel's horse Thunder. It's real name is Stormy. But Noel changed the name cause he felt it's too girly. I rolled my eyes.

" Speed is fun." I said and Draco started to run. I reached the end part of the farm. I came back after a while and came down. I patted Draco's back. I saw someone reaching me. I stopped.

" George!!" I mumbled as I could see him clearly. I was not so shocked seeing him here. His father was my grandparent's neighbour here.

" Good morning, Natalie." He greeted me.

" Hmm, morning." I said tried to ignore him.

" Can we talk?" He asked me.

" Yeah listening." I said taking of Draco's bridle and cinch.

" I mean it's serious matter." He said.

" I said I am listening." I said. I don't want to talk with him. Cause it makes me angry and I don't want to punch him hard and spoil my mood right now.

" I mean we couldn't finish that night. I know you were afraid of that busta*d but you call tell me. I make him go away. I really like you. I want to be with you forever." He said.

" You done?" I asked him and he nodded.

" Ok, listen. First of all you never knew me properly. Natalie never ever gets scared of anyone or anything. And the bust*rd here is none but you for thinking me as an object. Don't be in the mistake that I like you. I never liked you." I said.

" You like him?" He asked.

" Yes, I do. Now what?" I asked.

" You don't like him. You like me. You are just confused. You will know soon. Let's date. You can understand then. I love you. I really do. He is just like the others who is after your body and beauty." He said. I think that's he himself.

" George, leave before I beat you up badly that makes your bones double in number." I said to him.

" Just calm down, will you? Think again. You don't like him. You -" he was blubbering rubbish and I was about to kick him hard but a voice stopped us both.

" Nice try, loser."
