Since it was Nick’s turn in the shower I figured that I would go outside and get my Jeep 4x4 ready for what I had planned.
I had taken the hard top off and was under the hood checking all the fluid levels when Nick came outside looking for me. “What are you up to?” he had to basically scream over the music that I had playing. One of my favorite songs, “8 second ride” by Jake Owen. “We are going for a ride today. I promise it will be fun. Just go put on something that you don’t mind getting dirty….or even ruined maybe.” I said smiling a sly knowing smile. “Oh God.” He groaned not having any idea what I was up to.
Thankfully when he came back out he was in some old lounge pants and a muscle shirt. Low slung pants no less. Evil man.
“Get in.” I told him. “Have your way with me love.” He laughed as he kissed the back of my right hand. I just cut my eyes at him and smiled as I slapped my Jeep into 1st gear. My hair whipped in the wind as the stereo blasted Eric Pasley’s “Song about a girl.” I am a country girl, what can I say. I love rock too, but today was a country kind of day and Nick was about to find that out. “So where are you kidnapping me to Amanda?” he asked reminding me of our first date. “Just sit back and enjoy the ride baby. I’m taking you to my little slice of heaven. I have 50 acres of land that not many people know of. You are in for the ride of your life.” I said as I patted him on the thigh.
About 20 minutes later we pulled off the road and onto my land that was out in the middle of nowhere. I must have had a wild look in my eyes because all I heard out of Nick’s mouth was “Oh shit.” It had rained a few days before so I knew this was prime time to hit my mud holes and go muddin’. He was really in for a ride, I was sure he had never done anything like this.
My property was 50 acres. It had trees, man made hills/jumps, mud track for racing my friends that knew about the place and mud pits. I love my mud pits. This was a slice of heaven for me. I could come out here and escape from everything and everybody if I needed to. It had been too long since I had been here.
“HOLD ON!” I hollered as I drove into the first mud pit. The laughs coming from me put a huge smile on Nick’s face, he knew I was happy. I honestly thought that he would flip out with the first bit of mud that came flying into the Jeep but to my surprise he was laughing his ass off and having a good time. He was egging me on! Trust me, I didn’t need to be egged on at all. I all but lived for this.
I was flying through the mud, shooting over to the track to flat foot it, to the little jumps then back into the mud over and over. Plus I was doing random doughnuts too. I knew my Jeep like the back of my hand. I better, I helped build the damn thing. Did I say at some point in all this that I am a tomboy?
After a while I did get tired of playing around, and we were both covered in mud. I pulled the jeep over to the little field that was on my land, I say little it was probably 5 acres big or so. I climbed out of the jeep and just laid on the ground closing my eyes. I smiled as the sun was blocked by Nick hovering his body over me wanting a kiss. When he got his kiss he laid next to me. “I have to say sweetie, I am impressed. You can fucking drive girl! And that was absolutely the most fun I have had in a long time. Thank you honey.” He said as he propped himself up on his elbow to look at me.
