Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

We went for a ride down the Old River trail. There was new things on the trial it's been a couple of months since I've been on this trail. It was nice to be back on it. I could see something in the distance. As we got closer I noticed someone had put a nice bench up the old willow tree. We stopped there and got off. I took a bowl out of my saddle bag along with a big bottle of water. I set the bottle down and went to the river bed and filled the bowl with water. With beauty following behind me I turned and gave her some water as I put my head on her neck. I felt Hunters eyes on me. I squirmed a little under his gaze before i said something.

"Ya gonna keep staring?" I asked as I turned to look at him. He started to blush.

"Sorry I didn't mean to stare..." he said quickly. "It's just you're beautiful."

It was my turn to blush and I turned a bright red. I get told by my dad all the time and the occasional boy at school but it felt different coming from him. I turned back towards beauty. I felt embarrassed but it felt nice coming from him.

"th-thank you" I stuttered out.

"You're welcome" He said. He started walking over to me with pumpkin following behind him but he stopped a few feet from me. "How are you feeling? You're not in any pain are you?"

"I'm fine, dad gave me my pain meds before we left the house. Also I'd like to thank you for being at the hospital with me and for carrying me." I said blushing a little bit.

I heard footsteps coming towards me. Just as they stopped I felt a hand on my arm turning me around softly. I kept my eyes on the ground but he put a finger under my chin and he lifted my face till I was looking him in the eyes.

"You don't have to thank me. I liked helping plus you've been nothing but nice to me." He said sweetly. "Also I have a question." He said as he dropped his hand from my chin and looked shyly at the ground.

"Yes?"

"Will you come over tonight and have dinner with me and my dad?" He looked nervous.

"Well you've already met my crazy uncles and spent time with my lovely father." I giggled and he chuckled. "I would love to meet your father and have dinner with you guys."

"Awesome, well we should get to heading back its past lunch time." He said looking excited.

We loaded back up on the horses and headed back. On the way back we joked and teased each other the whole way back.
