"So you and Junior are together?" David asked as I prepared Wildfire for workouts.
"Yes!" I said happily, putting the reins on Wildfire.
"That's great," he replied half-heartedly.
"You don't sound very happy..." I told him.
"Well...Oh, shut up!" he shouted playfully. "Get on the dang horse and ride!" Quickly, I got on Wildfire and did what I was told. Once the workouts were done, I tried to continue the conversation.
"You don't sound very happy that I'm with Junior," I informed him.
"Well, I'm not," he agreed. "Look," he stopped.
"What?" I asked eagerly.
"I told you, I like you. I'm letting things take their course, but I like Kris Furillo." I stood their dumbfounded. All that time I'd thought he'd been totally on board for Junior and I being together. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to break the two of you up, and I'm not going to let any guy stand in my way of being with you."
"You know that sounds sort of stalkerish," I joked.
"Yeah, it does," he replied, considering what his words would've sounded like to others' ears. "But it's true. Junior's not going to stand in my way of having you."
"I'm not an object to obtain," I informed him. "I'm a person."
"But I still want you," he said playfully.
"It's alright," I replied. "Our love with hold."
