For The Love Of Only Him [Mature, Only Those Willing To Commit]

[Saviour]

A darkened sky marked the end of the last day of my living Hell. After today, I was free to do whatever I wanted, my father having no say in where I went, when I rode, or if I rode. He treated me like her, the one I hated more than anyone, more than city life even. My father's voice rang out in a slur of drunken words. He had just finished microwaving the 'delicacy' of which he made every night. The repulsive scent of TV dinners struck my nose. "Don't care, throw mine away, I ain't hungry" My voice was already loosing its disciplined appearance and the sweet twang of a country accent was licking at my words. I couldn't wait for tomorrow, let alone waste time eating. Standing on strong, wrangler wrapped legs, I stride over to my dresser. Reaching a lightly tanned arm up, I pull open my drawer for night clothes and grasp a nightgown. Pulling it out, I set it on the bed. "Last day in this stinking city, last one for several weeks, I don't need dinner, I need sleep" I growled out, the sourness of my words uncaring to my father's feelings. He loved her, the ignorant woman my mother was. She was probably the most naive and disgraceful person I knew. However, I knew I was only jealous.

She woke up every morning to the smell of bacon and eggs, crisp, country air tickled her hair with the scent of hay and horses. She probably took advantage of even that. Her mare, Apple, was a beautiful appaloosa, and the poor thing was never saddled for a ride, nor given carrots and apples out of simple thanks. My mother never cared for what she called 'stinky four legged creatures', she treated the word horse as though it was a curse word. And yet, she still decided to ride the day I turned seven and got my first colt.

When I managed to cleanse my brain of the woman, I was in bed and resting my blue eyes. The loud screeching of tires polluting my ears. My arm sneaked out from the warm covers and turned on my radio, which was already set to my favorite radio station. Sin Wagon by the Dixie Chics brought a wanting feeling to my stomach. I giggled in anticipation and rolled over, blocking out anything and everything but my sweet dreams of Grandpa and Grandma Benan's ranch.



By the time I flicked my eyes open, I was in the old Ford truck and heading to the farm. My curls bounced violently as I shot into a sitting position. Flinging my seatbelt off, I slide over to behind the driver's seat and bathe in the scent of pipe smoke and allow my eyes to lick up every last rolling hill of hay and alfalfa feild around us. "How much further?!" I blurted, my accent now anything but hidden as I bounced my beautiful eyes to grandma. Her beaming smile making me feel warm and bubbly inside. "Just a few minutes from the farm" She said, like she always did after my routine question. I grinned huge and turned back to the window, taking in the smell of horse and manure that reached my nose. My eyes closed in a comforted motion and I lean back against the stiff seats. It's been way too long..


The long, rough whinny of Forever Strong brought tears of joy to my eyes and I sprinted to the gate. Throwing it open, I meet him and bounce with happiness. "Hey there boy! I've missed you sooooo much" I giggled and wrap my arms around his muscular neck. The horse kicked his hind legs happily and threw his head into another loud neigh of pleasure. I pat his shoulder and then stroke his mane. "Come on, lets get you saddled up" I smirked, pushing the gate open again and running to the tack barn, Forever Strong pounded beside me. I slide to a halt and fall down onto my rump, much less coordinated than my gelding, who was standing tall and proud beside me and inspecting the boy infront of us. I flushed brightly as I looked the male in front of me over. He was beautiful... and I just made a fool of myself with Forever Strong. I giggled shyly and stood, brushing my wranglers free of dirt. "I uh.... Hi, I'm Taylor" My face reddened even more at my awkward stuttering. My gelding reached his muzzle down and whickered to me, seemingly laughing at my stupidity. "Oh shutup" I snapped playfully at him, rubbing his tan nose with affection that nothing else in the world got from me. His tall buckskin appearance drowning me in a bond I felt with no other being or thing, living or not.


[Please play the ranch hand described above, be descriptive, be passionate about the post, I really want this topic to turn into something great, I want at least two paragraphs]

Alex had been hired at the small stables, working as a full time groomer, an assistant vet for small needs, matenance and the like, keeping the horses barn, and property looking very nice. He owned 2 horses, and had a dream of owning a small rescue when he got older, wanting to save the horses from slaughter houses and heal and train them to be adopted to people who were looking to buy a horse.
Sighing slightly, he leaned over the desk, looking over the inventory list he had been working on for a short time, going over what he would need in town. He rubbed his hand over his forhead, silently estamating the amount of money he would need for the trip. Hoses, new shovels, wheelburrows were all things that they would need, seeing that the old ones were litteraly falling apart. He set the clipboard down on the table, then exited the small office that agoined the tack room. Walking through the door he almost crashed into a girl, and she went sprawling on the ground, her horse standing next to her, looking amused. I chuckle softly, and bend down, my hand outstreached to help her up. "Im so sorry-"

(Is that long enough? Here is a pic that looks slightly like him)

[Saviour]

( Hold on I will get on my computer =D )

[Spritz]

(ok, well im waiting )

[Saviour]

My face flushes again when he apologizes, offering his hand. "It was my fault" I say softly, my voice small and often went unnoticed. I nervously take his hand and stand, brushing my tight-fitting wranglers off. The hot breath of Forever Strong tickled my shoulder. Reaching over without looking I rub his neck and shoulder roughly. He liked a rough rubbing rather than a soft one. "Might I ask who you are?" My voice stronger than I was. Who was he? Grandad often hired new hands, but they were typically foreigns or older people who needed a job more. But he rarely hired young teenagers. The man was obviously hard working however, toned muscles and honest eyes. His eyes... They were gorgeous. A stunning blue that his dark hair and skin complimented perfectly. Eep.

[ That's perfect !! =D ]

[Spritz]

(cool, whats her pic like?)
As she stands, she brushes off her tight fitting jeans, and I can see the curve of her hips, her long legs. I clear my throat, a bit embarrased. "Alex. I asked your Grandad for work, and he said yes. I guess im the Vet,Groomer,Matience, and whatever else guy here." I say, my voice a bit humorus, though I took my job with seriousness. "Forever, eh? I never asked about him, but I'm glad he has a owner. I rode him a few times, great horse." I pet the Geldings nose affectionatly, then pull my hand away, realizing she might not want me petting her horse.

[Saviour]

"Oh" I murmur at his words, slightly mesmerized. His recognition of Forever Strong sent anger and jealousy through my blood. He touched his nose and my anger rose. I reach out and silently braid Forever's mane. I knew I was only being selfish and childish. "Yea" I answer shortly. I had my father's temper...
"Sorry, what were you going to do?" I hint at the question, although I hoped he didn't take it offensively. I felt Forever Strong shuffle his feet impatiently beside me. We were going to ride soon, but he should calm down.

[Spritz]

"Me?" I take a step back, seeing her eyes flash momentalary as I had pet the gelding. "I have to run to town later, I was taking an inventory of things. But I was on my way to ride Sun." Golden Sun was the Palamino I had rescued from an abuse case, over breeding and crowding. He had a bad case of lung worm, but was now recovered and healthy, learning the basics of barrel racing, and pleasure riding. "What style do you ride?" I rode all kinds, even jumped once in a while.

[Saviour]

"Er.... Dressage and Barrel? Mainly dressage, but he we often ride western for pleasure" I flash a smile and then blush, hiding my face. "Would you like to go for a ride with us?" I ask, patting my gelding's shoulder. My green/blue eyes meeting his in a friendly manner. I will have to talk to grandad about this.

[Sorry I have to post to another topic and it sorta made me have a brain fart lol.

[Spritz]

(its ok)
I smile, my white teeth flashing. "Sure, I'll saddle up." I wanted to pat the gelding, but restrained myself, and walked briskly outside, grabbing Sun's halter and leadrope from the stall door. I lean on the fence, and whistle, and the gelding perks up, and looks at me, far across the pasture. Seeing my slight form standing by the gate, he quickly gallops over, flaxen mane and tail flying in the wind behind him.

[Saviour]

I find myself grinning like a fool after he leaves. A large shove of Forever Strong's head sent me into a protective state. "What?" I snort "I'm excited to ride..." I knew he would be thinking I was excited to ride with the guy and not so much with Forever. "Come on, english or western?" With that, my gelding immediately jumped to his western saddle and bridle. Giggling, I tack him and mount, left foot in the stirrup and heaving up onto his back. With a toss of his head, he cantered out of the building and towards the trails. "Woah, we need to wait for them" I reprimand his actions and turn the reins left. He reluctantly responds and trots over towards the pastures.

[Spritz]

"Good boy." I slip the halter over Sun's head, and he obediently follows me into the barn, without a lead rope. I smiled, and then tied him to a stall, taking the western saddle we used and lifting the heavy saddle easily onto his back. I quickly finished tacking, seeing that the girl was already done. I laughed, realizing I didnt even know her name. I easily mount, and then Sun starts out at a fluid trot, eager to ride with someone else.

[Saviour]

"Ready?" I smile, then blush "Oh.. I'm Taylor by the way" I feel Forever shuffle his feet jealously and pat his shoulder. He could deal with a little company.


[ uh... sorry... I have no idea what happened there 0.0 ]

[Spritz]

"Hey." My eyes twinke slightly, and I point to a long strech of flat land not far away. "You up for a gallop? Sun could use some exersise." I pat the shining palaminos shoulder, and he snorts in response. "Hush up now." I lean forward in the saddle, adjusting the breast coller, making sure that it was tight.

[Saviour]

I giggle "Yea, he could use some too" I knew that wasn't the case, and Forever obviously became angry. Ignoring him, I glance over before tapping my gelding's sides. He immediately lifted into a gallop. Legs pulsing with every step. Hooves thundering over the open land and seeming to dare anyone to stop us. The wind in my face immediately brought a bright smile to my face. Home at last.

[Spritz]

I took her answer as a yes, and with a quick straightening of the body, Sun bolts forward, his long strides quickly making us catch up to Taylor and Forever. Sun fought the bit, but I held him back, not wanting to go overly fast yet, a training method I was making him use.

(sorry so short)

[Saviour]

I look over and my hair rips across my face. Pulling the blond curls back, I watch as he trains his horse while riding. Forever Strong tosses his head and in defiance, stops roughly. I almost fall over his neck, but catch myself and grab the horn of the saddle. "What was that?" I snap at him. He simply responds with a snort. Sighing harshly, I get off and fold my arms over my small chest. "Stop being such a baby" I growl.

[Spritz]

I pull Sun up, and turn around catching a glimpse of Talors underwear as she dismounted. I smile slightly, and turn in my saddle. "You okay back there?" I ask, turning Sun to face them.

(sorry so short)

[Saviour]

"Ugh, sorry give us a minute" My words were littered with annoyance. "We are just friends, and if we become more, deal with it" I whispered to my horse, quiet enough for only him to hear. "Now stop being mean, I love you, and no one will take that away. My mom didn't, my dad didn't, no one will" I say and stroke his strong neck. Kissing his cheek, he responds by turning the saddle to me. "Now, let's try that again" I smile and kick him into a trot. I reach his side and shrug "Sorry, he is more of a human than a horse" I laugh.

[ np ]

[Spritz]

"If you say so-" I chuckle, and raise my hands, about to ask Sun to canter. Sun felt my hands, and easily broke into a steady canter, whickering for Forever to follow him.

(Oh man, im sorry, I am having a hard time posing, I have like 3 rp friends on right now and Im posing with them,while packing for camp)

[Saviour]

"Come on boy" I tell Forever, and without any motion on my behalf, he leaps into a smooth canter. Smiling at the feeling of such power under me, I begin laughing. The sweet, warm air tickling my cheeks and awakening the deepest happiness that was burried in my soul.

[ Same here, and I'm messaging Thunderstruck ;]

[Spritz]

I smile, seeing Taylor laughing, then a sharp yell makes me stop. I see the hunched figure of her grandad at the door, and I make an Uh oh face at Taylor, before cantering over to him. "Yes?" He stops, eyeing me. "Stay away from my Granddaughter, you hear?" He says, his words menacing. "I was just taking Sun out on a ride.." He rolls his eyes. "Sure, just like I was just knitting doilies." He says grumpilly. "Get to town, I need those supplies!"

( I hope you dont mine me playing him?)

[Saviour]

I frown at my grandfather's tone. "But gandpa!" I plead. He obviously ignored me. Grumbling, I dismount and pull the reins over Forever's ears, leading him to the barn. "bye" I mouth to the guy... I don't even know his name. I share a glare at my grandad and push the large, heavy doors of the barn open and stop by the saddle bar. I take my gelding's tack off and set it up. With a gently tug of his mane, I mount Forever bareback and he sprints out of the barn. Leaving the doors open and ignoring my grandpa.

[Spritz]

I open my mouth to speak, but the door bangs shut, and I dismount, leading Sun into the barn and untacking him, then letting him go in the pasture. He tossed his head, obviously liking the fact that the training was short, only a few minutes long before I had been called away. I sigh, seeing Taylor gallop off. I was going to ask her if she wanted to come to town with me, but she was already gone.
(He already intraduced himself when he helped her up. His name is Alex)

[Saviour]

[ oh, oopsie. Well she introduced herself when she fell down lol ]

I stop under a Tamarack tree and dismount. Like all the times before, Forever Strong layed down in the shade. I also lay down, resting my head on his side. "What is so wrong with going for a ride?" I murmur. Forever nipped my arm as if saying to drop it. Rolling my eyes, I turn to my side and inhale my gelding's scent. The sweet smell of hay and grain. With a smile, I close my eyes and rest.
