Just a Little Bit of Love, Barrels, and Horses

Chapter 15

ALECS POV

I am seriously excited about this. When I got off the bus I run to trigger. I feed him and give him fresh water. I brush him and give him a bath. What? Okay I may be sucking up to her, but I want to impress her. I mean come on! She is hot with those beautiful brown eyes and that curly brown hair. She's got curves in all the right places. She is a bit chunky, but not fat. She's beautiful. But the way she can ride. Even though she is 13 she can RIDE. The way she can handle those horses it's unbelievable. Then it hits me. She's gonna be here in 3 hours. After triggers bath is done I only have 2 hours and a half to get ready. I jump in the shower, but on my best pair of jeans and a flannel shirt, but I cut the sleeves off. I wear my belt buckle that I won, and my ariat boots. I wear my best cologne. I run into jake. "Dude you need to go pick up McKenna!" I practically yell. I told him about this half an hour ago.

"Jesus. I was just leaving. And you are dressed up! You really like her don't you?" He asks raising his eyebrows up and down.

"Maybe," I mumble.

"Ahh. My baby bro has a crush!" He exclaims.

"Shut up," I mutter.

"Be careful though. She's only 13. From what I've seen it takes a lot to let her trust you. If you even get close to getting her to trust you I will be truly impressed. I have dated girls like her before. If you crush her it will not be pretty," he says totally serious.

"What is you mean?" I ask.

"I'm not saying mckenna is like this but she will get even. They are not the type to sit around and cry and feel sorry for themselves. Especially her because the stuff she has dealt with and seen," he explains.

"I won't hurt her," I say.

"That's what they all say," he says. "I am going to take this girl under my wing. Her sister obviously doesn't care about her. So I will take that spot as the big brother that she never had. If you hurt her I hurt you. Understand?" He asks dead serious.

"Yes jake I understand. Now go get my date," I order. He rolls his eyes but he hops in his truck anyways. Is that stuff that he said true? Whatever. I don't care. I won't hurt her.
