Attatched

Chapter 4

I wake up up early the next day. It was 7:30. I smile, remembering the events that just occurred the day before. I have never been so exited in my life. Most probably thought that it was stupid, but I thought it was...I don't know. I can't explain the feeling. I decided to make it a big deal because how often does Harry Styles wave and wink at you? Well probably never see each other again, well face to face maybe. I decide to go back to the café with my mom again today. I have to make some money so I can go shopping. My wardrobe has been lacking spirit and color. I sigh as I get out of bed and make my way to my bathroom. I strip from my cloths and turn the shower on. I wait for it to heat upas I grab a towel. I feel the waters heat before stepping in. The warm water hits my body and my tense muscles ease at last. I shampoo my hair and wash my body before rinsing off and turning the shower off. I step out and grab a towel and wrap it around my body. I grab my PJ's from the floor and step out of the bathroom. I put my dirty cloths in the hamper as I make my way to my closet. I end up deciding on a sweatshirt and jeans. Today I let my hair down. I brush it thoroughly. Suddenly I remember, I can't go to the café today, I have to go to the barn and see Dublin. I haven't ridden him in a week and I'm sure Taylor is sick of taking care of him. Dublin is a 16.3 hand Cleveland Bay. He's 15 and I've had him for as long as I can remember. I slowly take of my usual cloths and put on my riding breeches and a polo. I had just noticed it was drizzling outside so I grabbed my rain coat and headed downstairs. My mother smiles when she sees me. "Good morning" she smiles and takes some bacon from the stove and puts it on a plate and hands it to me. "Ill make pancakes to" she says as she grabs her materials. She has her back to me as she speaks. "Going to see Dublin today? I know your phone is broken from..yesterday..but Taylor told me that he misses you" we both laugh. "Why don't you come with me? I'm sure Cecil misses you" Cecil was my moms horse. She had just ridden him two days ago but I think we could ride together today. Cecil is a 15 hand Kiger Mustang. I've ridden her plenty of times and she's nuts. But that's what keeps my mom so hooked to her. The only difference between me and my mom is that I ride English, she rides Western. She could go English of she pleased, but yanno she has more fun Western. My mother nods. "I think I'll go later today after work. I nod. I finish my breakfast and climb into my small Honda. I remembered to grab extra horse treats for Dublin. I pull into the parking lot and it looks like no one is here. I zip up my coat and make my way into the barn. All the horses were inside. I finally come to Dublin's stall. I crank open the door and he picks his head up from his hay, his ears perk FOWARD as I walk over to him. "Dubs..your stall is disgusting" I laugh. "Yea, I'll take the blame for that one" I hear Taylor's voice behind me. I spin around. "Taylor! Hey! How is he doing, and it's totally fine" we talk for a while as I tack Dublin up. She waves to me goodbye as she makes her way to her own horse. I walk into the arena and close the door behind me. I fix my stirrups and tighten my girth before I climb on. We start walking for about five minuets before I pick up my trot. Then sooner or later we're cantering.

Harrys P.O.V

"Taylooorr" I whine at how much mud I'm stepping in. Taylor is my cousin and sense i was visiting she talked me into letting her introduce her horse to me. Bad decision. It's muddy as hell and my shoes are disgusting. "Whaaat Harryy" she laughs. "Look, I have to go get some hay. It'll take me a minuet sense the walk is about ten minuets. The little 'golf car'.." (as I called it when I first saw it) "is broken down. So I'll be a minuet. Don't wander off too far. You don't want to get noticed" she smiles and walks away. I'll look back at her horse and he Whinnies. I laugh. "Jesus! Your loud." I run my hand down his neck and he licks my hand. I snatch it back, laughing. I decide to go into the other building I saw. It must be where they all ride inside. I walk over and open the door. There is someone riding in there. I pull my hat over my face and run into the "viewing room" as noted on the door. I watch her in astonishment. She and her horse are..jumping poles. She's too focused to even notice I came inside. She's going very fast. Her and her horse are..well beautiful. It's like there a pair and are doing every movement and jump in sync. I get a closer look at her face...and that's when I realized. My heart flutters. It's the girl from the café.

Shays P.O.V

I am coming up to a line.. I'm completely focused on Dublin. I can feel him wanting to drift and avoid the jumps. But I guide home the best I can. He clears the first jump. I count the strides out loud. "One..two..three..four" he clears the second. I make an attempt to slow him down and bring him back to a walk. I stoke his neck. Awarding him for being such a good boy. Suddenly, I hear....clapping? I look over at the fence that separated the inside of the arena to where people can stand and watch.

"Great job" a thick British accent flows through my ears. I know that voice anywhere. I whisper "Harry?"

He laughs. "Did the voice give it away?" I hop off Dublin. And bring him over to the fence. When I realize I wasn't actually dreaming. I put my hand over my mouth and sit my eyes as hard as I can. "Oh my god" I breath. "Oh my god Harry what the hell are you doing here" Im in shock. I can't actually Believe he's standing in front of me. He laughs "my cousin..Taylor rides here." I gasp. "Your Taylor's cousin!? She never told me." Now I'm starting to comprehend why she didn't tell. "She wanted it to be a secret" "I love you" I blurt. "A lot" I bite my lip. "I love you too" he lays his hand on my shoulder. I smile. "That stuff you were doing.. With him" he points to Dublin. "It was amazing..it's like you guys are made for each other...and.." Be wanders with his words. "How long have you been doing this?" "Ever sense when I was a small child." I smile. "Your pretty goddamn good at it" I think for a moment. "Come here" I tell him. "What?" "Come here" he walks over to me. I take off my helmet, and put it on his head. He backs away.."no I'm not getting on" I laugh. "Oh! C'mon Styles" he hesitates. Before climbing on top of the mounting block. I bring Dublin around and he swings his long legs around the saddle. I bring Dublin to the middle. Harry's eyes are wide as he tilts back and forth as Dublin walks. I laugh. The stirrups are way to short and his knees are basically above Dublin's head. I laugh even harder. "Hey!" He protests. Soon though he is laughing too. I have never been so happy. And looking at Harry and seeing the person he really is opens my mind to thinking in a whole new perspective. I never knew he was this bubbly and happy. I have my hands on my knees. Laughing. Harry almost falls off Dublin from tilting back to far in laughter. I could get used to this.
