Lauren
Oh great, city boy helping set up a rodeo, this oughta go well. We hop in my truck and drive back to the ranch.
"So what exactly am I gonna be helping with?" Alex asks
"Well, I got a guy trainin' for tonight, I gotta saddle up, and you need a new outfit," I reply
"Why do I need a new outfit?" He asks
I let out a laugh and kill the truck.
"You don't wanna get your Gucci shoes dirty, do you." I laugh
My eyes roam the ranch, looking at everyone working on setting up, cooking, practicing. I keep looking until I spot my favorite cousin and his small little family. I walk over to Jack, Tyler, and Alisha.
"Hey, guys." I smile
Tyler makes grabby hands at me and Alisha hands him over.
"Hey," Jack says and hugs me gently
"It's good to see you again," Alisha tells me
I glance behind me and see Alex glaring at the dust while tryin' to fan it away.
"You're both ridin' tonight right?" I ask
"Yeah, which means you're stuck with this cutie until we go home." Jack smiles
"Hey, who's that?" Alisha asks pointing at Alex
"New neighbor, he's from Chicago, I need to get saddled up and get him into something else," I say
"I do have a request though," Jack says
"What?" I ask
"When you're ridin' through with the flag while the National Anthem is playing, take Tyler with you." He says
"I can do that," I say
I walk back over to Alex with Tyler perched on my hip.
"Alright inside," I say and usher city boy inside
We walk into the house to find Josh and some of our other guys getting dressed.
"Get this kid into something proper." I sigh.
"Got it girly," Mack tells me
