Chapter 20

Suzie flew at the last jump and we finished our round clear. Considering both she and I had a week of and had only had a half hour schooling session, the charity showjumping day had been a succes, we had one 1st, and one 4th. Now we were done I brushed her of and put her rugs on, the chlly winter winds made the air cold.

Back at the yard, I gave a small feed and her lick it toy, as she only went out during the afternoons now. Eddie was there and asked if I was around for a movie evening, but I remembered I was going to help with the filming, so asked if he wanted to come over at about 9:30 when I get back.

After having a shower I walked over to the flats were the filming was going on, when it started to pour down with rain, I arrived soaked, but luckily they had a spare pair of trackies for me to put on temporarily, until I got changed into costume.

Sat on a cushioned computer chair, I scrolled through my phone when a message from elsa came in, I hadnt heard from her in about 3 years, when I left school. She wanted to meet up me her and a few others which would be great. Although at school they could be irritating, I had got along with her better then the rest of people I went to school with. Suprishingly minutes later I got a text from Lori who I had met when i worked in racing, she was hoping I was around next month for a night out in Newmarket, with Mikey Emily and herself, despite being about 8 years younger than them, I had a great time with them and they were all a laugh, so I replied to both accepting there offers. It was odd thinking I hadnt seen them for over 6 months, we had occasionally facetimed each other, but not all together. I was going to see the family for Christmas, and I had missed them all but we had been keeping in touch a lot, then I planned to spend new year with Belle and Esme.

Living with Belle and Esme was going well we all had ups and downs, but at the moment we were all going somewhere, I cant believe how lucky I was 8 years ago to have met the crazy pair. Tom came over and sat next to me after his scene had finished, and we spoke about the film, and random shit thatv was going on in our lives, when he mentioned or maybe I should say made some clear hints about having feeling towards Belle.

"do you think Belle would ever consider having a relationship, with someone else, if it meant her spliting from Acer" Tom asked.

"If she met someone she thought was woth it then I suppose she would. Why?" I questioned.

"No reason, I mean I like her a lot, but I dont know if I would do her justice" He replied.

"ahh thats cute, you would be perfect for her, someone to rely on and wouldnt let her down, but Acer does seeem to be getting along well with her" I said, quickly taking out my phone, and texting Belle informing her of this information, whilst Tom continued the conversation.

"I wouldnt want to split Acer and Belle up though there both so nice" he said sounding dissapointed.

"anyway who are you texting" he asked.

"oh erm, Esme she wanted to know if I could put my costume on in 20 minutes, so I will be ready" I replied, sounding unconvincing.

"right... but shes just over there" he said, slightly confused.

"Yeah we just do that, because neither of us can be bothered to shout" I said, laughing in my head. Litlle did he know Belle was listening to this whole conversation now.

"oh Okay then, What do you think Belle would say if I told her I loveed her" Tom thought aloud.

"hmm probably would blush, try to convince herself she was head over heals in love with Ashley, but deep down knowing she would rather be with you" I said.

"should i tell her?"

"Well if you think you are going to see her before you go back home, you proabably wont, I hate to break it to you, as she is at a music festival" I said laughing to myself.

"hmm I will be back though and can keep in touch with her through Esme and no doubt I will be back soon" he said.

"yeah, just dont leave it to long, if you are serious abo....." I was cut of by Esme who came over with a costume.

He watched me walk of and later text asking what he should do, so me being helpful me told him to do what he thought best, and not to leave it to long, and decide the day after someone proposes to her.

After my scene I helped clean away what was finished with, before going back to the apartment to meet Eddie. Although I didnt feel great, I wanted to see him so I made little effort to clean my room, since I had got back from Isle of White my washing had gone wrong, and there were clothes everywhere.

I turned the heating on for the first time, and found a couple of flims, which I spread out onto my bed. My hot water bottle thing was in the microwave and I had put a fresh duvet on my bed, the buzzer went, and minutes later Eddie came in followed by Esme.

i sat and wchatted with them for a while, but I really wanted to lay down, the cramps were getting worse, and to be perfectly honest felt horrid, but not ill it was odd, I hadnt felt like this before. Esme went into her room as she had some editing to do, and we lay down in bed to watch a film, we lay in bed and laughed at the episodes of Mrs Browns boys. It wasnt long before I drifted of to sleep, and for a change slept all the way through the night, to be woken by Esme at half 7, reminding me I had college. I hadnt quiet got back into the routinue of things!
