Dorkily Ever After

Chapter 16 ~ Maximus Is The Man

Dylan Cooper's point of view

"There's no way I'm riding that horse." I tried to sound as calm and fearless as I could.

That horse is too big! What if we fell and it fell right over me?

I'll be dead!

I hate horses. And they seriously loathe me.

"Come on, Jerk." She obviously laughed at my expression. "No need to worry." She assured me while handing me a helmet.

"No need to worry?" I mocked her, with a scared expression this time.

"Of course there's no need. You'll be riding with me." She tapped my shoulders once.

"That's what makes me worry more." I said.

"Go now!" She laughed. "I'll drive."

"You know what, Dork? I still want to marry you." Okay, That one went out wrong. "I don't want to die." She laughed even harder.

"Hey. He's just a horse and you're the greatest jerk I have ever met." She tried to comfort me but there's no way I'll be comforted in this kind of situations.

"He has no match for you." She continued.

"He? As in... The horse is a dude?" I asked.

"Manlier than you." She giggled. "Come on, Just hold on tight and you'll be alright." She smiled.

She hopped on the horse and lend a hand for me. "Hey, come on. I'm already looking like your knight in shining armor here." She chuckled again.

"Not because I don't want to ride your horse doesn't mean that I'm a gay." I said sternly.

"Ok, princey. Hop on." She rolls her eyes. "Your looks would be a waste if you don't ride with me. You look hot though." She kids as she wink.

She wears white skinny pants with black boots. You know... The typical uniform for horse back riding.

She even had a weird helmet on her head.

"Just one round and I'll leave." I said and she laughed again.

It's not even funny.

"I'll slow down for you, Jerky." She says. I hopped on the second saddle that was attached to hers and hugged her tightly on the back.

Damn, This is one big white horse!

"Be easy on me, babe." I whispered beside her ear which made her flinch.

She was clearly thinking that I was gonna rape her earlier. She looked really shocked and scared as if she stars in a horror movie.

"Back off, Jerk. No tickling while riding." She chuckled back. Just as I thought she flinched because I'm so charming, looks like she's just really ticklish.

Seriously, my charms won't work on her unlike any other girls.Maybe she thinks we'll just remain friends.

"Fine." I hugged her tighter. "I wouldn't want to die, anyway."

"You ready?" She asked. Isn't it obvious? Geez, I feel like I'm not a teenager anymore.

"Yeah, Whatever." I rolled my eyes even if she can't see it. "Sweetie." I teased.

"Hey! No sweeties around here!" She hissed.

She sat straight and had her shoulders, hips and heels aligned. I imitated her, It's just that I want to hug her because I don't really want to die.

"It's specially made." She shrugged. "I told them that I would ride with a handsome jerk." She giggled.

She rode it first on a slow pace. "See? It's fine."
