Part 2
It wasn't fair, why did Lucy have to have such a gorgeous brother. He was about 5'9" with jet black hair and eyes the color of chocolate. He had the kind of body that just begged to be looked at, and that wrangler butt was an entity all its own.
How was he going to show Lucy and her that they could be good for each other? It wasn't Tess's fault Lucy had woke up late and missed the auction, but Lucy could hold a serious grudge when she convinced herself that she had been wronged. Instead of being mad at Tess for getting a horse of a lifetime, she should be glad that he is still within her circle. She should become friends with Tess, after all they seem to be a lot alike. They both turn heads, Lucy with her black hair and green eyes, and Tess with her red hair and striking sky blue eyes. Not to mention they are both a couple of spitfires, more then an average man can handle. His momma was the same way though, so his daddy raised him to know how to handle women like that so he could look after his sister. Now all he had to do was convince Lucy that she should try to be friends with Tess and they could benefit each other. Maybe that way he could get closer to her too. He didn't know what it was that drew him to her but he knew the first time he saw her, at the auction, that she was made for him. Now all he had to do was convince her of it.
When he got back to the stalls where they had their horses, he could hear Lucy yelling at someone. As he turned the corner he saw that it was Garrett, their trainer. She was yelling at him because of her low placing in the show, even though it wasn't his fault she had messed it up. If she hadn't been so intent on making Tess screw up, then maybe she would have actually placed better. Just as he was about to save Garrett, he saw him grab Lucy by the waist and pull her to him for a very passionate kiss. "Well now, isn't this an interesting twist" thought Sean.
"Now who am I going to get as my navigator?!" Tess yelled into the phone. Why did my sister have to pick today of all days to elope. I need a navigator, otherwise I will be disqualified. As I walked to the judges booth to see about any volunteer navigators I took in the sights and sounds of the fairgrounds. The sun was shining off the walls of the horse stalls, and the buildings had an old rundown look to them. The air was heavy with the smells of dust, manure, and horse sweat. I could hear a mule braying somewhere in a stall mixed with sounds from the announcer at the barrel racing competition. When I got inside the office, there was Sean talking to the secretary. The other lady in the office asked me if I needed any help and I told her what I was looking for. She said no one had signed up, but she would keep her ears open. Just as I turned to leave, Sean asked if he could be my navigator. "Great, now you won't have to be disqualified!" exclaimed the secretary.
"What are you trying to do to me?!" I yelled at him after we had gotten outside.
" I am trying to keep a great horse from losing out on one of the most important classes at this show and if you care anything about him, you will work with me on this." he yelled back.
Then before I knew what was happening, I felt his callused hands on my cheeks and his soft full lips coming down hard on mine. I felt like my head was going to explode. The tingling in my face and the butterflies in my stomach, this was too much. He is supposed to be the enemy, why is he helping me and why do I feel this way, it's just a kiss. As he pulled away, he said "You're very special to me, even though you don't know it yet." With that he walked away, yelling over his shoulder to meet him at 10am the next morning at Dreamcatcher's stall so we could go over the course together. I stood watching him walk away, completely dumbfounded.
"So that's who he's been daydreaming about! How could he do that to me?" She thought. Now he is going to navigate that horse thief's route against me, his own sister. That horse should have been mine. Maybe he is trying to get under her skin, so he can talk her out of the horse. "Naahh, my brother isn't devious enough to think of that" she said aloud to herself.
"Not devious enough for what, my evil sister?" asked Sean sarcastically.
"How can you do this to me?! That should have been my horse and she stole it from me, now you're making goo-goo eyes every time I turn around!" she yelled at him.
