Safe wings

Chapter 13:

While asleep I vividly dream of Lucas getting stepped on by the bull. In one dream he is rushed to a hospital. In the next he is dying on the spot.

After a restless night I wake up to being cold. Lucas is gone and I hear something in the small bathroom.

It's 8:00 a.m.

"Lucas?!" I ask.

"In here!" he says sticking his head out of the bathroom. His hair is wet so he took a shower.

"Please come back I'm so cold." I say.

"Fine I'm coming." he says. he comes back in his jeans shirtless and smelling like axe.

I crack up.

"You are crazy."

"Yeah I am."

He pulls me into his chest and I relax. instantly I am warmer. I lay my forehead on his neck and he kisses my head.

He wraps one arm around my waist and he plays with my hair with the other.

I can't fall back asleep so I sit up with my back against the headboard. Lucas sits up and sits beside me. He intertwines our fingers and then leans down to kiss my forehead.

"Hey Lucas I'm gonna go change kay?" I say. He nods.

I walk into the bathroom and change into his black shirt laying on the sink. Then I slip my blue shirt over the top of it. I come out of the bathroom and see Austin and Lucas talking.

I throw Lucas's red shirt at him. "lets go!" I say. Austin laughs and then leads the way to the lobby. We get to the truck and make our way home.

I snuggle into Lucas's side as we talk. After about 3 hours we make it home. I smile and climb out of the truck.

I get the horses out and groom them. Trigger sticks his nose over the stall door and touches my shoulder as I hang up Veto's halter.

I turn and pet him.

"Get away from that crazy stallion he will kill you" a farmhand hisses.

I sigh and lay my head on the stall door.

"Time for lunch!" Aunt Sierra yells so I walk to lunch.

Lucas sits beside me. The farmhand sits on my other side.

"Well I see that, miss Alyssa thinks that she can tame her a stallion." the farmhand named Jake says.

"What?! You got near Trigger!" Uncle Austin shouts.

"Yes! but he reached out to me it's okay!"

"No it's now! Don't touch that horse again!"

"Sir with all respect she could train that horse!" josh yells.

"No she cant"

"Then explain how she rode him." another voice says. I stand from my chair and run to the person. I hug him. He hugs me back and I snake my arms around his neck.

"She is not to touch that horse!" Austin yells. I sigh and lay my head on the boys shoulder.

"It's okay" the boy whispers in my ear.

"SHE CAN RIDE!" I hear a little girl scream. I look up and see Isabelle looking at me.

I smile. She runs to me and hugs me.

I pick her up.

"Thank you." I say.

Lucas looks upset and then he says, "what the hell! I thought you liked me?! What is going on! The instant he walks in you leave me!" he walks out of the house.

"Wait Lucas!" I yell.

Then Josh walks up to me.

"Shh. it's okay." he says.
