Stepping Away

Halloween

(Y'all I am so sorry that this is so late! I know its not Halloween anymore but....it's fine. It's been finished...I just haven't had time to update it. Hope y'all enjoy!)

It was time for the Halloween party. Well atleast it was time to get ready.

Bobby and I had made a deal not to show each other our costumes until it was time to leave for the party.

I sat on my bed as I pulled on my boots to finish the look. I had gotten my hands on some of my old clothes from back home. My white button up, jeans with some cow hide, and a red cowboy hat to finish the look.

I quickly braided my hair and then called for my dog and patted the spot beside me. Riley jumped up eagerly, his tail wagging.

I giggled and grabbed his costume. It was a bit of a struggle to actually get it him to cooperate, but once it was on, he looked adorable, of course he did before too, but....

"My little Bullseye." I giggled and hugged the pup. I set him back down and left my room.

I watched the miniature Bulls-eye run out the door and head straight towards the man in the kitchen. I smiled, my hands finding my back pockets. I looked up from my boots, looking at the back of Bobby, who was standing at the sink.

His yellow shirt was tucked into his jeans, his boots pulled over his pants. A cowboy hat rested on his head.

He turned as Riley jumped up on his leg. He laughed. "Awww, you look great Riley!" He murmured as he leaned over to pick him up, cradling the dog to his chest. He turned around, snuggling with Riley.

I stepped into the kitchen and finally got a good look at him. He looked perfect. I smiled, fixing the cowboy hat on my head as Bobby turned around.

I looked him up and down, my smile widening. Honestly...He looked cute in all of his cowboy gear.

He smiled at me and laughed quietly as Riley tried to lick his face. He pulled away and set the dog down.

"You look cute as a cowboy." I spoke without a second thought. I felt my face heat up once I realized the words that had actually come from my mouth.

I watched the blush light up his cheeks. He smiled. "Thanks T, and if we're saying it, so do you." He added quietly.

I smiled, my eyes falling to my shoes. I grabbed Riley's leash from the counter and attached it to his collar before sliding my hand in Bobby's. "Come on Woody."

We arrived at the party about twenty minutes later. We were a bit late, but its fashionable right?

We stepped into the office and watched as Luna, dressed as a Alice from Alice in Wonderland, was led around by her dad, dressed as a giant rabbit.

I covered my mouth to hide a giggle as I saw Matt in his rabbit costume. I bent over and unclipped Riley's leash as Luna ran over with her arms out to pet him.

Bryan stepped out from his office to see who had just come in. He was dressed as Mr.Incredible.

I loved family costumes.

I nudged Bobby with my elbow and together we walked through the small mass of people that had collected near the kitchen. Of course everybody was around the food. Bobby and I got set up in his office. We were having a little Trick or Treat session for the little kids before the "adult" party started.

I called for Riley, watching the pup with his big Bulls-eye head bounce around in front of him. I giggled and picked him up, bringing him into the room with us. We quickly threw up a few spooky decorations and added a fake doorbell for the kids to push before shutting the door.
