I woke up the next morning and realized that I had slept in the stable with the horse. I stood up and while I brush myself off I hear a familiar voice asked, "Did you sleep in here last night?"
"What does it look like?"
"You know you could have just come to my room and sleep in there if you really wanted."
"You would have liked that would you?"
"Of course I would have, I'm a guy for crying out loud. So why did you sleep in her all night?"
"I had a fight with Jake last night and I couldn't sleep last night, so I thought I come here and say thank you to her," pointing to the horse. "For saving my life and then I guess I fell asleep."
"Oh well you better go get dressed you're a little dirty."
I looked at myself and see I had dirt all over me, so I just rolled my eyes and folded my arms and walked passed him into the house. I went upstairs to take a shower because I stunk. After the shower I got dressed and put on some make-up. Then headed downstairs for breakfast, which was cereal.
I walked outside to start painting again. Here and there I would check on the horse to see how she was doing and to feed her, then I would go back to painting. I was looking for Austin, but couldn't find him, so I walked up to Mr. Turner and asked, "Hey, Mr. Turner, do you know where Austin is?"
"I think he went into town. He borrowed my truck."
"Oh, okay. Well I wanted to see if he wanted to get something to eat, but I guess I'll go for a run and see if I can catch up with him. I'll be back in a little while." He just nods and then I started running. We didn't live that far away from town; I needed the exercise, so I figured I just run. Running helps clear my mind.
When I got to town and turn the corner I thought I would see Austin, but instead I saw Austin with Madison. They were talking and laughing I thought my heart broken. I actually thought a guy like that could actually like me for me. I trusted him with everything hoping he would be there for me, well I guess not. He just totally forgot about me and another piece of my heart is ripped away. As I turned around very fasted and bumped into someone. I got up and said, "I am so sorry."
I then looked up to a tall, handsome man. He had the most beautiful blue eyes ever with shaggy dark hair. He was the most gorgeous guy I've ever laid eyes on. He spoke, "Oh, no it's fine. I should have watched where I was going. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Well I better get going."
He grabbed my arm and asked, "Wait. What's your name?"
"I'm Rose. What's yours?"
"I'm Jeremy. Well now we know each other."
"Yeah, well I better get going now."
"When can I see you again?"
"How about tomorrow at five right here?"
"Sounds good. I'll see you here tomorrow at five. Can't wait!"
I finally left the town instead of running I walked all the way back home thinking of what happened in town. When I got home I finished one side of the chicken coop and I saw Austin pull up in Mr. Turner's truck and that's when I put down my paintbrush and went to feed the horse and check on her. While I was feeding her Austin said, "You need to find a name for her."
I turned around and asked, "What?"
He pointed at the horse and said, "The horse. You should probably name her since she's probably going to be staying her for a while now."
"Fine." I thought for a while about a name for her and then it came to me. "How about Stardust?"
"Why Stardust?"
"Because she's alone and far away from everything and still trying to find out who she really is like me."
"Well, I really like it. That's a good name."
"Well, I know it is. Now I have to go, see you tomorrow." I walked pasted him. I was still made at him for talking to Madison. I mean I know I can't tell him what to do, but it just hurt me to watch him talk and laugh with her. The good thing about going into town was meeting Jeremy and I'm really happy I'm going to see him tomorrow. That night I took a shower and put on my pajamas and went to bed.
********************************************************************************************************************
In the morning, I did the same thing which is getting dressed and eating breakfast and painting the chicken coop and before I knew it, it was already four. So I decided to take a shower and get dressed. I put on my makeup and then asked Mr. Turner if he could drive me into town. By the time I got into town it was 4:55. I went to the same spot I bumped into Jeremy at and I saw that he was standing there waiting, so I walked over to him and asked, "Are you waiting in someone?"
He turned around and smiled and then said, "Of course I am. I didn't think you were going to show."
"I wouldn't miss this. So where do you want to go?"
"How about I treat you to dinner?"
I smiled and said, "Sure." He put his arm out and I grabbed it and we walked into the diner.
We got our sits and ordered and he spoke first by saying, "So tell me about yourself."
"Well what do you want to know?"
"Tell me how you ended up moving here."
"Well I use to live with my mom, but my mom had a really bad accident and didn't make it, and the only other family I had is my dad who lives here."
"What's your dad's name?"
"Jake Morgan."
"What happened between your parents?"
"Well, my parents got into a big fight when I was seven then he left. I remember waiting for him every birthday and Christmas, but he never showed."
Jeremy grabbed my hand in his and said, "I'm sorry I brought it up."
"No, it's fine." Our food finally got there and he let go of my hand. We ate and talked. When we finally left the diner he held my hand in his and we walked to his truck.
He drove me home and we stood at his truck and he said, "I had a really nice time tonight."
I smiled and said, "Me too."
He rubbed his thumb on my cheek and cupped my face and then leaned in and so did I and we kissed. He pulled away and said, "I hope I can see you again sometime."
I kissed him one more time and said, "I think it's a yes." I smiled and walked away inside.
That night with Jeremy was probably one of the best days I've had in a long time and I really enjoyed it. I hope our other "dates" are like that, too. I finally laid down and closed my eyes and fell asleep.
