About 2 weeks later I was settled into my house when I heard car horns and a shipment truck horn. I dashed outside as the dogs sat barking at the metal fence that ran both ways from the sides of the house and met up round the back.

I smiled seeing Jason, his friends all got out of my cars and put the keys in the key bowl I had picked up. I grinned even more as they unloaded all of my bikes.

"Here," I said as I handed him a wad of hundreds and left them all to get into the minibus one of them were driving. He hugged me and thanked me telling me to call him if I needed anything.

All I was waiting, for now, was the horses to turn up.

I texted the guy who was transporting them and he said that they were all okay and they'd be here in two days. I nodded to myself and I jumped into my pickup and set out on a search for hay and straw. I drove around the entire town and couldn't find crap all, I pulled over and rested my head on the steering wheel. I looked up and saw I was parked next to a coffee shop. I jumped out and headed inside.

I ordered myself a large Cappuccino and sat down to wait.
I had just stood up to leave with my coffee when someone who was all too familiar walked in. I saw the scars on his cheeks and approached him.

"Filip Telford," I said as I came up behind him.
"Who's asking?" he said with an accent as he turned around.
"My name's Bella I moved here a couple of days ago my Ma knew you and your brother."
"Aye, and who's yer mother?" He replied as he collected his coffee. I leant up against my truck as he stood about a foot away from me.
"Her name was Renee, I was never told her last name." I shrugged.
"And how'd ye know it were me?" he frowned.
"Pictures the internet, trying to find out who I really was. My 'adopted' family," I made air quotation marks around the word adopted "never told me who I was just my name, never told me who my pa was until I confronted them, they may have raised me but I never liked em. I came down here to find my last living relatives."

I wasn't ready to tell him who I really was just yet.
"Aye, you were looking mighty frustrated earlier in ya truck. What might have been the problem?"
"I've just bought the ranch near Teller-Morrow Automotive and someone's transporting my horses down here and I need to get all the stables and pastures ready but I can't find anywhere selling hay and straw." I sighed in frustration.

He laughed and threw his now finished coffee cup away.
"Follow me las, I know someone." I climbed into my truck and placed the coffee in the cup holder. He pulled away on his bike and I quickly followed after him.

We pulled up to a ranch and the man who was there who looked to have sighed and called someone over who took away the bay mare he was sat on.

"Oswald," Filip called as he got off his bike and I climbed down from the cab of my truck. He looked at me curiously.
"Bella here just moved to town and her horses are being shipped over and she couldn't find anywhere that was selling hay and straw. So I brought her to you."

"How many horses do you have?" he asked me and I smiled before replying.
"9 and my friend who recently passed left me her 4 horses. So I now have 13." I said looking at my feet he nodded and loaded some bales of each into the bed of my truck.
"How much?" I asked him and he smiled and shook his head.
"It's alright, no need to worry." I huffed and shoved him a $10 note into his hand and thanked him.

"Do you want to come back to my place for a beer?" I asked Chibs politely he smiled and climbed onto his bike.
"I'll follow you to your place?" he asked and I nodded, starting the truck and pulling away.

Right, not as long as the last one. I'll update tomorrow, hopefully, after school - first day back and all that crap. Big surprises in the next chapter and the horses are arriving!
