Does anyone know how to change the font on this? I must have hit something because now I can't figure out how to change it back.
Once again, we were alone, and it was raining, except that this time, there was thunder and lightning. We were inside the barn, feeding the horses, when all of a sudden, there was a huge clap of thunder. Right at that moment, he had been standing right behind me, and the horse that I was feeding jumped and pushed me back, right into his arms. He laughed and spun me around in his arms so that I was facing him. He looked me in the eyes, his brown ones meeting my green ones intently.
"Are you okay?"
I was lost in his eyes, and it took me a minute to respond. I blushed (not on purpose).
"Yeah. I'm fine, thanks"
He smiled, but he didn't let go of me. We just stood there staring into each other's eyes, until the horse came over and bit the arm he had around my waist. He jerked his arm back and rubbed the spot that was red turning purple. I reached out to his arm gently, and he startled me by wrapping his good arm around my waist and pulling me close enough that his nose touched mine. He grinned, and I realized that he was giving me the option to pull away. I just grinned back at him, and he closed the distance between us and kissed me. It only lasted about eight seconds, but still, he kissed me, and it was his own idea.
Just then, there was a huge crack of lightning, and smoke filled the air. We let go of each other and ran down the barn aisles, opening the horses stalls, knowing that they couldn't escape for good because of the fences.
After all of the horses had been let out, we turned and ran out of the barn. Because he runs track, he is a lot faster than me, but he slowed down to make sure that I got out. I tripped, and he caught my arm, and we kept running. When we got out, we could hear the sirens. We ran to the edge of the property where all of the horses were standing, safe. Once we got there, he wrapped his arms around me, and I finally got a good look at his face. There was a huge burn mark running from just above his left eye to just below his right. I reached up and ran my hand across his face. He looked into my eyes as I traced the soon to be scar.
~~~~••~~~~
When I dropped my hand to my side, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. We broke apart, and he muttered in my ear.
"We have a lot to talk about. "
I laughed and nodded. He grinned, and I leaned forward and kissed him. I was so surprised with myself that I pulled back immediately. He laughed.
" I'm not that bad of a kisser, am I?"
I hit him playfully on the arm. He laughed and wrapped his arms around me while I laid my head on his shoulder.
~~~~••~~~~.
After the fire was put out, we moved the horses into the other barn. He then walked up to me and kissed me gently. Before it could become to much. I pulled away.
"We still need to talk"
He smiles. " Yeah, but I have to go. Later."
