17hands beneath me

Alice's perspective

After that embarrassing incident on the bus I never thought I would be able to look Mat in the eye again.

After the bus came to a full stop I went to get of the bus with mat following me, heheh Mat was following me!

He actually is the perfect description of gorgeous, he has a sleek tanned body and beautiful hazel eyes. What girl in her right mind wouldn't fall head over heels with that, I'm also sure that under that sexy shirt he has a decent pack of abs. Maybe even a eight pack, wow it's AWSOME how possible that is.

As we where stepping of the bus Mat seemed a little bit nervous, haha like he had never been near a horse before or anything. Acorns wasn't scary it was the nicest place on earth according to me.

LOL you would think he was scared if horses the reluctant way he steps of the bus.

Mat scared if something

My Ass!

Mat's perspective

I had a kind off bubbly feeling in my tummy, like there where bubbles bouncing against the lining of my stomach and popping as they did.

This weird feeling of mine could also be described as butterfly's, they where flying around my tummy and tickling the sides of my stomach. Now an then those bastard butterfly's would bite the walls of my stomach.

Ok ok these phantom butterfly's in my stomach are nerves, I won't deny it I am scared of horses. I don't know why I have never met one let alone ridden one.

I know my fear is irrational and absurd and I can only hope that Alice can get me over it by the end of the day, if that is possible even.

But if anyone can fix my butterfly's, it will be Alice.

Alice's perspective

I am tired of this heat already and all I've done is trudge down the long driveway to the main stables.
Mat must be fit as he isn't even puffing and I'm already huffing and heaving reaching for my water bottle.

I lead Max further into the stable, he's jittery standing on one foot then changing to the other. All the other people who I have brought to see the horses would have been running up and down parting them and oooing and aahhhhing. But Mat is walking dead straight along the centre of the stables, as if he's trying to stay as far away from the horses as he can.

I think Mat is scared of horses, I can't believe it!

By the end of the week, i swear he will be begging to ride Weber

I WILL CURE HIM!
