"How was your shift today Reign?" Tom asked as he came around the corner about to clock in. 


"It's busy today, a bunch of people came in with some kind of cold. Doc can't figure out what it is though '' I replied as I zipped up my coat, getting ready to leave and head home. 


"Its probably just another flu like last time." Tom told me,  "talk to you later Reign, we can grab drinks after our shift tomorrow, yea?" He asked as I was walking out the door. 


"Yea, just text me" I replied while fully walking out of the door and head into the parking lot looking for my truck. I got in and start heading home. 


Walking in my front door, I went straight to my bedroom and I immediately changed out of my light grey nursing scrubs into light blue jeans and a grey t-shirt. I decided to cook  lunch before going to check on the horses and to check how Jack is doing with the animals today. We have goats, chickens and horse'. I put on my mud boots at the back door and headed out to the farm. 

The first thing I see is Jack already cleaning out the horse pens, for it to be 10 AM he already has sweat pouring down his face and back, as the sun beats down on him. His muscles flex though his slightly too tight of  t-shirt as he pushes the wheel barrow. 


"How are things this morning Jack?" I asked while walking over to where the shovel is, so I can work on one of the other pens. 


"Just like every morning Reign, why don't you rest for a couple hours? You just worked a long shift" He replied.


"I will after the horses have been bathed. I'll bath the horses and you can finish the pens okay?" I replied as I put the shovel down and started to head towards the field to call for the horses. "I almost forgot, I cooked some early lunch if you want to eat." 


"Yes, I'll go grab a plate once I'm done, thank you Reign" 


I whistle for the horses and gave them each a bath, after they were bathed I got them their mixed foods and put out some water. As I was heading inside, I stop for a second and see Jack taking his shirt off. That man is fine, I thought to myself as I watched him wipe his forehead from sweat just as he was walking into the house. 


If you haven't caught on yet, I'm a nurse who works in a local hospital and I also live on a beautiful farm. My bestfriend also works with me at the hospital, his name is Tom. Tom is gay but he's the funniest guy I know. Jack is my ranch hand, he came to the ranch a couple of years ago and said he needed a job and was willing to work even if I wasn't home. He has  jet black hair that's not short but not long enough to be in his eyes, it even curls a little at the end, he also has blue eyes, a slight sprinkle of green in the corner of his left eye. 


Jack moved in with me about a year ago, when his apartment complex downtown had shut down. So when a random man came, everyone was skeptical of him but I didn't care. I needed help with the horses and he needed a job. As you can see, I live in a small town basically in the middle of nowhere, everyone knows everyone. A couple of months ago, I started to notice how hot he had gotten since he started working here, gaining muscle and opening up to me. 


"Lunch was great Reign" Jack said as he was finishing his potatoes. 


"Thank you, I'm going to head upstairs and get some sleep before dinner." I told him as I began to walk away. 


"What's for dinner? Do you want me to make it tonight?" He asked 


"No, it's fine I'll make it, anything in particular that you want?" I ask him while he's loading the dishwasher.
