Puppy Love

What have I done

"This it stupid," I said as I threw the lariat and missed, again. I had been practising all morning with the help of Sarah, Hayley and well little help from Brooks, I had made it of the ground and up on one of Hayley's Roping horse Sky and a western saddle since I needed the horn. I had also though about Breakaway roping, but I think we shall see how we go.

"No you've almost got it," said Hayley.

Brooks was doing this too but he was so much better than me.

In a last final attempt I gathered my coils and made my loop to the right size. I swung it above my head then threw it at the foam cow head and got it. I did a little cheer and a victory dance in the saddle. Which got me a applause and laugh.

We practised for a few more hours till I could canter and throw a half decent loop.

"I'm done see ya later," said Brooks as we walked away towards the gate.

I started an extended canter almost gallop from one side of the arena to the other after Brooks I threw my loop and got his feet and Hayley seeing what I was doing threw her loop and got over his head and around his arms, I stopped, wrapped just at Hayley pulled, Brooks went down.

"And where so you think you are goin' cowboy?" I asked innocently as I trotted over to him.

"Your getting to good at this for your own good girlie," he replied trying to get up, but I pulled the rope again sending him on is back side, then I jumped off and hog tied his arm and legs together with bailing twine.

Every one was laughing so hard Joe was on the ground cackin' him self, and Sara had this all on tape.

"Dude you just got your ass served by a girl, Ha," cried Hayley

It was then Dustin drove in. I cantered over and greeted him and we doubled back over to the arena.

Dustin jumped of and started laughing, Brooks still hadn't gotten out.

"Dam girl you should try goat tying."

"ah ha I think I'll pass."

I untied Brooks and we started packing up. We unsaddled and washed down.

Hayley was staying the night and Dustin stayed for dinner. We had steak sandwiches for tea then Hayley and I decided to role our swags. We camped out in the front paddock.

"So there is a local Rodeo and campdraft at the end on February, you gonna come?" said Hayley as we slipped in our swags.

My smiled dropped, "I wont be here then I go home on the 29 of Jan, and there is no way in hell mums gonna drive me up here for a Campdraft and Rodeo."

"Oh, thats all right you will be back wont you?" she asked.

"Yeah maybe in a few month, for easter maybe," I said trying to lighten the mood.

She smiled and pulled out a lollie stash from under her pillow.

Oh gosh this is going to be a long, but fun night.

The next morning I don't think either of us got sleep, I was still high on sugar. It was quarter past 5 when we crept out of the warmth of our swags and watch the sunrise, it was beautiful.

"I wish I could live out here, I would be a dream come true," I whispered to no one in particular.

"I now its awesome isn't it," replied Hayley.

At about 6:30 we headed in for breakfast. Bacon and eggs.

"Up for some more training today, ropin' queen?" asked Brooks as we sat down.

"Yeah, yeah I haven't slept a wink, hehehe" I replied.

Brooks looked at Hayley, "you fed her lollies? are you crazy!?"

Hayley just shrugged and continued eating her egg and bacon role.

We went out side and Hayley and I went and saddled up. I was on Sky again. We headed out to the arena and there was Brooks on a quad with what looked like a steer attachment. What a sight. We practice till lunch, when Sara bought out sandwiches and water out for us.

We kept going till Jo bought in the weenier steers and suggested in camp practice. Jo Pushed the herd in and we set up the camp to suit. I went and jumped on Denny to test him out. Well to say it was interesting was the understatement of the year. I nearly came of in more than one occasion and there was lots of rearing and bucking but hey at least I know where he was at. Hayley went home at 3 but I stayed and worked with Denny.

We went past dinner, Sara bought dinner to me and I worked well into the night, It was about 10 when Denny was calm enough to work. We spent ages on the mechanical cow working on quick stops and turns as well as role backs. I rode over to the barn and wash my sweaty boy down and put him in the pasture.

I headed back to the house. I took my boots off at the door and headed in. Suddenly I was slammed into the wall. I looked up and came eye to eye with Brooks.

"What-" I was cut off my his lip crushing on mine, I felt so good, soft but strong. Passionate.

He stopped for a breath. Then I back handed him, right across the face. He looked at me bewildered. But I already missed his lips so I grabbed the collar of his shirt and kissed him again.

Before he could say anything I ran up to my room and lock myself in there.

What have I done...
