Mars Imagines

Horse Back Riding

This is for Sara ☺️ (@Sara_From_Mars)

It's Saturday, and yet again, Sara is counting down the days of her vacation time.

She doesn't know what she'll do yet. Probably just stay home like her other vacations go.

She leans against the counter of the hair salon and sighs. It's been slow all day, and honestly, she's been thinking of closing early.

She looks at her clock which reads only noon. She packs up her things, only to be stopped by the door opening and then closing.

"Sorry were.." Sara begins to say turning around. She stops as she sees a handsome, hazel eyed man in front of her.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were closing already." He says, his voice so smooth and calm.

"No, no. Do you have an appointment?" Sara asks, her tongue tied from the beauty in front of her.

"No."

"Okay, well just give me your name."

"Shannon."

"Okay Shannon, go sit in that chair over there, and I'll be right with you."

He goes to sit down in the chair while Sara continues to set up his appointment.

"So, what can I do for you today Shannon?" Sara asks, getting her equipment ready.

"Just a trim please."

Sara cuts his hair and with ever cut, she wanted it to be perfect, for the man she was cutting for, was.

Sara brushes all the hair off his shoulders. "There you go. If you would get up and go to the register, I'll get your total."

He gets up and searches for his wallet. "Ah damn it. I must have left it with my brother. Is there anything I can do? Like clean or come back tomorrow with the money?" He asks.

"You know what, it's on me. I'm going on vacation after today, so what the hell?" Sara shrugs her shoulders and packs up her things.

"Are you sure?" Asks Shannon as he and Sara walk out the door.

Sara nods and locks up the salon.

"Listen, let me pay you back with horse back riding. My brother and I are going today, and it would be cool if you came."

Sara laughs. "No way."

"Why not?"

"Horses scare me. I was kicked by one when I was little, and ever since then I've been scared."

"I'll help you. Please? It's the least I could do."

Sara hesitates, but ends up saying yes anyway.

Shannon gives Sara a ride to the destination of the horses.

They arrived, and Sara shortly met Jared, Shannon's brother.

The people renting the horses bring out three for the each of us. Jared confidently jumps on while I just stare at the horse.

"Come on." Shannon pleads. "The horse is way stronger than you."

Sara shakes her head. "I'm sorry, I can't."

Shannon chuckles as he helps Sara on her horse. He lifts her up in the air, his hand on her back, accidentally lifting her shirt a little.

Sara blushes as Shannon smiles and gets on his horse.

The three of them end up riding the horses for 2 hours before finally getting off.

Jared and Shannon took a picture of them 'horseback surfing.' Sara decided to stay seated as they risked falling on their faces.

Shannon helps Sara get off her horse. Their eyes meet, but Sara quickly turns away. "That was fun. Thank you." She says.

"Maybe we can do it again? Maybe just the two of us?" He says, smiling, still holding Sara in his arms.

She smiles. "Yeah, sounds good."
