Call of the Horses

Chapter 18

We walk along the pretty trail until we could hear rushing water. I give Daniel a confused look, but all he does he smirk and urge Storm into a trot. I click Scoot up into the same pace and we soon catch up to the handsom white horse and absolutely gorgeous boy.

We turn another corner and come to a long straight road covered over with red, yellow, orange and brown leaves, even though the trees outlining the road are all green and alive. I decide to make Scoot go faster, so we canter off leaving Storm and Daniel eating our dust.

I hear hoofbeats behind us which means Daniel got the message that I want a race. Scoot must realise this to because he goes into a full blown gallop, trampling any wish the others had of beating us. My hair wipped out behind me, the wind hitting me in the face. I could barely hear let alone see anything but I let out a rebellious shout anyway.

I hear the fant soud of a laugh which puts a smile on my face as well.

☆Daniel's POV☆

After Darcy lets out a rebel shout, I laugh. I can't believe that she actually likes me. I don't know wether she likes me more than a friend or just as a friend. But I'm falling for her.

And I'm falling hard and fast.

Her pretty blonde/brown hair flys behind her in the most elegant way ever. She turns around and waves back at, I wave back before asking Storm to go faster.

We catch up to Darcy and Scoot and slowly gallop past. I look over at Darcy and see a look of surprise which makes me wink at her and continue overtaking them. I know that there's a bend up a head so I slow Storm down to a canter, then a trot.

I realise Scoot has also slowed to a trot. I soon hear the sound of rushing water and know that we're almost there. We turn one more corner and I slow down Storm to a slow walk. I turn to Darcy and see that she's shocked.

"What do you think!" I shout over the thunder of water. "Its magnificent!" she shouts back. And I can completely understand, the great gushing waterfall is magnificent. With its aqua coloured water and the rainbow fish under the surface.

I walk storm over to a tree and dismount. I grab two long pieces of rope from the saddle bag that I brought with us. I connected one rope to Storm's bridal and wrap the other end around the tree.

I turn around and see Darcy has followed my lead and has her hand extended toward me demanding the rope.  "Alright, slow down don't get your nickers in a twist" I chuckle. "Great, now you sound like an old person!" she replies which makes me laugh even harder.

She ties Scoot up and runs over to the water, dipping a hand into the now rippling water. "Its warm!" she exclaims. "Yep" is all I can say. I'm completely hypnotized by her beauty. And yes that might sound cheesy but its so true.

"I wish I brought my swimmers" she says, a dissapointed expression passing over face like an ocean wave. I smile, and run back to the saddle bags. I walk back over to where Darcy is sitting while hiding something under my shirt.

She looks at me quizzically, but soon smiles and gasps when I uncover a blue and green bikini for her and some swim shorts for me. "Sorry, they're my sisters" I mumble while looking at the ground.

Then, a pair of arms are wrap around my neck and Darcy's body is pressed against mine. I wrap my arms around her petite frame and breath in the sweet smell of her hair. "Thank you" is all I hear her whisper. "Its my pleasure".

I'm the first to pull away, only to urge her to put the swimmers on. I show her a large boulder for where she can get changed but she tells me to turn around anyway. I decide to go fiddle with Storm when finally I hear a faint "Ok your turn".
