Barbecue and Babes

*NOT EDITED
Once I had finished cooling down Arinda a I went inside to help my mom finish up cooking. Every years we have a barbecue about two weeks before the rodeo. It was a family tradition we always went and my mom made her homage coleslaw and I made my delicious cherry pie. The barbecue was tomorrow and while I was hoping Gunner would ask me to go with him he hadn't yet. I wasn't really disappointed I heard a rumor that he was going with Alisha. I never dreamed of competing against Alisha for Gunner. She was drop dead gorgeous with straight black ebony hair and olive skin. She and Gunner liked each other for a couple of years but then both moved on from their feelings. It looked like they were finally finding those feelings again. I walked in the door and saw my mother fiddling with the refrigerator. " Hey mom do you need a little help?" I questioned, as she pushed multiple buttons. " I told your father not go get this dreaded machine, but he just had to get the most high tech one in the store even against my wishes." She furiously poked buttons. I chuckled under my breath at my mothers non cursed sentence. My mother was a simple southern lady who didn't dare curse. I on the other hand has a coupe choice words to say every now and then. Me and my father both. " Let me help you mama." I suggested even though my mother was so independent. " Fine I give up." she backed sets from the fridge with her hands up obviously frustrated. I took a closer look at what she was trying to do. " Were you trying to get water mom." she through her hands up. " Lord yes!" I pushed the water button and pressed the cup up against the lever as water began to freely fall. My mother toons big sigh as she took my place next to the fridge.

After I had made my cherry pie I heard up for a shower. The barbecue wasn't really a formal thing, but a bunch of girls my age wire cute little sundresses. Once I had slipped out of my comfy blanket of steam in the bathroom I went into my closet. Katilyn and Jessica my two best friends had invited me to go shopping with them but I had refused. I guess j ass facing he consequences now. Because I have NOTHING to wear! I finally decided on a light blue dress with spaghetti straps and is bunched up int he front with a lace lining. I put my hair into a messy bun the was perfectly calculated and then a small gold headband. I put on my normal Naked 3 pamphlet colors of eyeshadow then my mascara and a small touch of shimmery peach colored lip gloss. I added a list of sharply brown heels to the picture and stood in front of my mirror. I approved of my look before going down stairs. Nobody else was rests which was surprising that I was ready firs so I simply just sat at the table and played on my phone. All of a sudden the screen door slammed as a familiar voice squealed. I ran to the door to see Gunner and Alisha outside. Alisha's eyes were teary and her face was red and blotchy. I instantly opened the door. " What's wrong!" I yelled. "Nothing." Alisha said a little to happily. She threw her arm out in front of me. Sh stared at me for a minute like it was obvious but I wasn't getting it. I looked down at her arm and my eyes followed all the way down to her writs where a stunning diamond tennis bracelet laid. I grabbed her wrist to get a better view. "What is this!" My mouth gapping open. " Gunner got it for me." "Oh." "Yeah we're officially together and a couple." she squealed. " Congrats." I said pulling my mouth into a fake smile. Gunner didn't say anything to me as I dropped Alisha's wrist and walked away.

The party had been going on for s couple hours and I hadn't really seen anybody my age that wasn't either, dancing, herring drunk, or sucking face with a girl. I decided I would go down to see Buddy. I crept away from the part and entered the familiar aroma of Buddy's stall. " Hey baby boy." I rubbed circles in his little white star on his forehead. I twirled his forelock around my finger. I stayed in Buddy's stalk for a whole planning on staying right where I was until the part ended before I heard a bing clang. I unlocked myself from inside Buddy's stall and walked over to the source of the sound. I looked around to the back corner off the barn where a coupe were sniffing and had knocked over a meat feed bucket. "Nasty." I muttered under my breath as I walked back to the party. " Watch where your going." I said as someone pretty dang solid ran into me. "Sorry." a gruff voice aid before offering me a hand. I took the hard rough hand and got pulled up. I looked into the eyes of who had knocked me over. I just stared for moments at a time as I looked into the greenest eyes I've ever seen. The guy that was standing incident of me was beautiful, with sandy blond hair and a dark tan. He was made of all muscle and looked about my age. "Hi, I'm Grant." " Korine, Korine Jonson." " Nice to meet you." " You too." " Yourhot!" All my words jumbled together. " Thank you." Grant chuckled. " Oh my gosh did I just say that out loud I'm so sorry." "No no it's fine. To be honest I was thinking the same thing." the confused lol I have him obviously have him the hint that he just called himself hot. " Oh no I don't think I'm hot I think I'm hot, no I think your hot." he sighs with defeat. " Can I just have your number?" Grant ask. I giggle. "Sure." I garb his phone and enter my number into his contacts. " There you go." " Thanks!" " Welcome." all of a sudden my favorite song comes on. " I love this song, lets go dance." I grab Grant's hand before he even answered me. I pulled him into the dance floor and showed him some moves. He finally got it and put in an effort. I can't say it was a pretty one but it was an effort. The song ended and a slow song turned on. My cheeks flushed red because Grant and I were still on the dance floor. " Can I have this dance?" Grant offered. My face turned a million different shades of red before I answered. " Sure." he piled me in next to him. I looked over at who was operating the music, and saw Robin. He winked at me and turned the song up louder.

When the party finally ended I didn't help pick up I just ran inside and up to my room. I took at my hair and put it into two french braids one each side of my head. I slipped on a pair of flannel pjs that where turquoise and purple. I also put on my gray Ugg slippers and went to sit down in my purple bean bag chair. My phone dingoes as I turned on the small faker screen in my room. I entered my passcode and saw I had a new message.
