My Crazy Boy (sequel to My Crazy Girl)

Chapter 9 no more of him

I sat at my kitchen table reading a book. A knock came to the front door. I got myself out of the chair and went and got it. I opened the door to find Tim. "Do you think that I can just wait around on you?"  I asked putting on my angry face. I wasn't mad just irritated.  He was 15 minutes late. 

"Yes I do." He said laughing. I rolled my eye. After what happened with Hunter, Tim and me grow really close. He was like an older brother to me.

"Your horse ready?"

"Yep." Today we were going to Billy's uncle arena. Rodeo season was coming up and we all needed to work our horses. Some other people from rodeo were coming too. We were all going to practice roping today.

I grabbed Buckle and led him into the trailer as Tim held the door. "Hi Bobby. Hi Mack." I said hello to Tim's chestnut named Bobby and Jack's palamino named Mack. I got out and he closed the door. We got in his truck and headed out. We soon arrived.

"No, if you punch your self and it hurts that makes you an idiot." I told him getting out laugh.

"Ok maybe your right." Jake came out to get Mack. We got our horses out and meet everybody inside. I started to check my saddle to see if everything was alright.

"Hi Holly."  Hunter said. Not that voice. Please let it be anyone but that one person. Nope I will not fall for that again. I untied Buckle and mounted up. And rode him into the arena. I rode up to Nicky and Tim.

"Who invited him?" I hissed.

"Probably Jackson. I told him not to but he don't listen. He thinks he all that just because he's on the football team and ropes." Tim said pointing towards him.

Jackson was on a gray horse. He was tall and had sand colored hair. He saw me staring at him. He sent me a smile. His teeth were white and straight. I rolled my eyes and focused on getting Buckle warmed up. Soon we had roped and we were getting ready to head home.

"Holly please can we just talk." Came that voice again.

"No Hunter. We did talk rember. Than you hurt me."

Q"I'm sorry Holly but please can we talk?"

"Holly you ready?" Tim called out looking between me and Hunter. He held the trailerdoor opened.

"Thanks Tim."

"Yep I'll be right back ok?"

"Ok." I went and stood by the truck door drinking some water.

"Hey your Holly right?" I looked up there stood Jackson.

"Yep Holly Potts. And you are?"

"Jackson Smith."

"Well it's good to meet you."

"Ya you too. Um would you like to... um.. go out to dinner some time?"

"Are you asking me out on a date?" This would be a good way to get over Hunter.

"Well I guess I am." He said with a smile.

"Sure. Sounds good." I said smiling back at him.
