I went home afterwards and got a shower. Someone stepped in with me. "How was your day?" Ranger asked. "Good." I answered. "Dinner and a stroll?" He asked. "Anything with you." I told him. I finished washing up, got out and got dressed. He followed behind. We went to dinner at a restaurant talking and having fun.

At about eight, we partially argued over who was going to pay the bill until he just held the card up letting the waiter take it to pay for our tab. "I'll let you buy us dessert or a warm drink later baby." He said right before the waiter came back with his card. He put it in his wallet before standing up and holding out his hand for me to take.

I took it letting him lead me out of the restaurant. He opened the door to the passenger side and helped me in. He closed the door and went around to his side. He drove for a little bit before we reached a light show. He parked and got out getting his coat. He got out and helped me out. He opened the back door after I slid out.

"Ok. I need this back baby. So, here." He said handing me a coat similar to his. "I know you like them one size up." He said helping me into the coat. I zipped it up as he pulled his on. I put my hands in the pockets pulling out a small box. I looked up at Ranger with furrowed brows.

"I know it has not been long since we actually met even though it's been three years that I've been counting and two years that we actually have been together even if it was behind the chutes." He said. I jumped up hugging him. "Yes." I answered the unasked question. "I didn't even ask yet." He said as he squeezed me in his arms. He set me down and put the ring on my finger.

I stood on my tip toes as he leaned down to kiss me. He wrapped his arm around me as we walked to the entrance. About a quarter way in I spotted a hot chocolate stand. "You said I could." I told Ranger. "I did baby. I'll let you pay." He said. The wait was not long due to it just opening. I handed the person my card after putting our order in.

She handed it back to me and I put it away before we got our hot beverage. We continued on our way through looking at the lights. I leaned against him. "Ranger." "Hm?" "Would you go to the barn with me afterwards?" I asked him. "Why?" He asked. "Just to check on Bentley. He wasn't feeling well earlier and I want to check on him." I said.

"It won't hurt to make sure he's feeling better." He said. "Thank you." I said. After we went through the lights and got a few pictures of us at the lights and that he 'proposed' to me at the lights before Christmas we went to the barn where his Christmas present was and we will be going home Sunday to visit my family and his for Christmas.

I jumped out of the truck there at the barn before Ranger could even put it in park. I ran inside and ran into Dusty's stall. The palomino gelding stood behind me. "Remi?" Ranger yelled out. I could tell he was looking through each stall. I looked over at him as he passed by Dusty's stall. I grabbed Dusty's halter leading him out after pinning the bow on his halter.

I covered Ranger's eyes and spun him around. "Merry Christmas babe." I said as I uncovered his eyes. He didn't say anything. "Do you like him?" I asked him. "He's handsome." He said. "Guess what." I said. "Hm?" He asked. "You know that horse you've been wanting since you left your dad's ranch?" I asked.

"Yeah." He said. "I found one that is sound proof and in his description husband proof." I said. "He can be roped from and one hundred percent rodeo stock." I said. He turned around and picked me up in his arms kissing and hugging me. "I love you baby." He said between kisses. He set me down before going up to the horse and looking him over.

"I found him online then went in person without you to try him for myself this past summer then made my offer late July bought him. Told them I would get out to pick him up as soon as I could and it ended up being December before I could pick him up." I said. He kissed my cheek. "I love you baby." He said.

"Home next?" I asked. He smirked before we put Dusty up. He picked me up threw me over his shoulder and carried me to the truck.
