Dude

Chapter 4

Carter has been coming to equastrian therapy now for two months; in those two months I've grown closer to Carter than I have at the begginning of his sessions. I have a feeling once Carter is no longer a client, we will be seeing more of him and his parents around here as customers or better yet friends. Sinclair has apologized to me for his behavior at me the first two times he was around me; he also apologized to dad about his behavior. Dad and I both accepted his apology but nothing has progressed from there; Sinclair wants to be friends but I won't allow it because I don't want another friend, I have dad, Leif, Tony and Blaze along with a few others.

I thought with out right telling Sinclair that I apprecated and accepted his apology but that I didn't want to be his friend, he would back off on trying but if nothing else it seems he's doubled his efforts. I admit Sinclair is sexy with his deep baritoned voice and rock hard body to match, hell his body is a sin to look at like Leif said a couple of months ago. Dad had tried for about two weeks talking me into giving Sinclair a chance to become my friend but once he realized I wouldn't budge, he stopped.

So, today I have sessions with Scar and Car today and after their sessions, I have plans on meeting a few friends from when I was in high school; Tawny Greene and William Bennett both are 17 years old like myself and they're dating each other. The three of us are meeting up for coffee before a movie. Dad insisted that the three of us hang out, saying that I needed a night out and not be at the property and working.

Right on time, Scarlett and her mom arrive and we start our session as Sierra sits on the the porch swing and reads a book. An hour later, Scarlett and I are leaving the barn after putting away the horse she used as I leave Salem still saddled since I will be using him in about a half an hour with Carter. Walking Scarlett back up to the house, her mom looks up when she hears us walking toward her as we talk quietly.

"How was today?" Sierra asks me as Scar hugs her mom around the waist with a bright smile.

"Very well," I tell her with an equally bright smile. "Well, Scarlett how do you feel about coming back Tuesday?" I ask her as well as asking her mom.

Sierra nods at my question and Scar eagerly nods, bouncing a little. "Sure Legacy," then Scarlett cocks her head to the side at me in question. "Legacy, why is your name Legacy?"

Ah, I've been waiting for this question from her, all of my clients ask me this at some point. Smiling gently down at her, I answer, "Well, when I was born my dad wanted my name to be unique and special, so he named me Legacy thinking I would leave a legacy on the world."

I'm not lying as to the reason for my name, I fibed some on who wanted my name to be what it is. In all honesty it was my mom who wanted that and dad loved it so he agreed. Memaw and pawpaw had told me the reason behind my name when I asked why Leif and I had very unique names. Leif was named by dad for the Norse explorer Leif Erikson (Ericson), who dad was always fascinated by.

Scarlett smiles so brightly at me when I explain my name to her. "Mama tells me the reason my name is Scarlett, is because I'm a bright person and I have a bright personality and I will do well in my life."

Smiling back at her as I crouch in front of her, I state, "I agree with you mama, you will do that and you most definitly are a bright shinning person in the world and I feel privelaged to know you."

Sierra and Scarlett left a few minutes later after we wished each other well and to enjoy our weekends. Just before his session, Carter arrives with only his brother bringing him, great, just fucking great; no barrier between his parents and us or my dad and us since dad is off with his own client and Leif is out with Tony, mending a broken fence somewhere on the one hundred and fifty acres of our property.
