Just so everyone knows, in this story student's move onto campus a week before they start classes. They moved in on a Monday and it is now Thursday.

Zoey POV

AB and I were woken up this morning by a loud knocking on our door. Looking at my phone, I saw the time was 11 in the morning. I got out of bed, not caring that my pajamas consisted in a pair of short athletic shorts and a sports bra. I opened the door to find Lavon, Wade, Lemon and George standing there.

I let them in, not caring why they were there and climbed back into bed with every intention of going back to sleep.

"Oh no Big Z, Lemon dragged us out of bed to go and see your horse. You guys get to get up too." Lavon said.

"But Lavon!" AB whined through her pillow.

"Oh come on you guys, it's after 11 AM." Lemon said ripping of AB's blankets.

I heard her footsteps come towards my bed and then stop. "Zoey, why don't you have any blankets on your bed?"

"Because it's hotter than hell here!" I exclaimed.

They all laughed at my expense which just made me burrow my head into my pillow even more.

"C'mon Zoey, Lemon just wants to go and see your horse and then we will leave you alone and you can come back to bed." George said.

"Unfortunately, not I can't come back to bed. I have practice at 3 o'clock." I said, finally sitting up to see Wade staring at me. "See something you like Cowboy?"

He looked up at me surprised. "You betcha." He said, winking.

I smirked at him and got out of bed. Putting a little more sway to my hips as I walked, I grabbed a pair of black riding pants and a green short sleeve shirt out of my dresser and went to change in the bathroom.

After changing real quick, I came out and put my hair in a low bun. I definitely just saw Wade checking me out from the mirror. "So if you guys want, we can head over in my truck, then afterwards we can grab some lunch then I'll drop you guys off before I head back over."

"Can we watch you practice?" George asked, making Lavon and Lemon look up and nod their heads in excitement. Wade looked up too, he didn't nod but I saw in his eyes that he wanted to watch, while AB just smiled since she watched me yesterday morning.

"If you want too, then sure. I'll warn you now that it isn't that exciting unless you are actually the one riding." I told them with a laugh.

"Are you kidding? I watched her yesterday and it was amazing. The teamwork, the trust, I can't even explain what I was feeling as I watched them." AB yelled.

"Ok, ok. Well I hate to break it to you but if you want to go then you'll have to get out of bed and get dressed AB." I told her.

"Oh, right." She said with a laugh, jumping down from her bed and proceeding to get dressed. "Let's go!"

I grabbed my phone and both my truck and room keys and then walked out the door behind the others. They followed me out to my truck and when the guys saw it their jaws dropped. I won't lie, my truck is my baby. It was a dark grey 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500HD with a 4-inch lift and tinted windows. I unlocked the truck and got in with AB jumping in the middle of the front seat and Lavon in the passenger, and Wade and George sitting in the back with Lemon in the middle.

"This is your truck?" Wade asked.

"Yup, it's my baby. My parents got it for me when I decided to come here. I needed something that would haul the horse trailer all the way down here." I said as I pulled out of my spot and drove across campus to the stables.

"I forgot these were even here." Lavon said.

"Actually they just rebuilt the stables about two years ago. Ten years ago the college decided to get rid of the sport and in the past few years it was pushed to be brought back. I saw pictures of what they looked like before and they were really run down so they had to fix them up before they allowed horses in." I told them.

I parked outside the stables and got out with everyone else. They followed me through the big double doors and down the aisle to the third to last stall.

"If you guys wanna just stand over there, I'll bring him out rather than everyone go in the stall." I told them.

I grabbed Tundra's rope halter and lead rope before going into him stall.

"Hey there big guy, I have some more people who want to meet you." I cooed to him as I put the halter on and led him out of the stall.

"Is talking to animals considered crazy?" I heard Wade whisper not-so-quietly as I brought Tundra into the hallway.

"I heard that Wade, and no, people talk to their pets all the time." I told him.

"Holy shit, he's huge!" Lemon said.

AB walked up to him and scratched under his forelock while he bobbed his head to her movements.

"C'mon over guys. He's just a big teddy bear." AB said.

They all walked over to the horse and started petting him.

"He is loving this." George murmured.

"Oh yeah, he's a big baby and loves getting attention." I said, while laughing at everyone's expression while patting him, well everyone but one. "Hey Cowboy, c'mere." I told him.

"What?" Wade asked as we walked over to him.

"Would you hold the lead rope while I go and grab him a treat?" I asked him, loving watching him squirm.

"Oh, I don't know Zo." He said.

"Don't worry Cowboy, there ain't nothin' to be afraid of. He won't take off on ya." I told him, winking.

I thrust the rope into his hand and smirked while walking backwards. I turned then walked through the last door on the left, which was the tack room, also where I kept all of Tundra's treat's in his trunk. I turned away from the trunk surprised to see Wade just a hair away from me. I looked up and felt his lips on mine for just a few seconds before we parted and he started walking backwards.

"I've been thinking about doing that since last night." He said with a wink before turning and heading back to our friends.

I sat down on the trunk to clear my head. Did that really just happen? The more important question was, did I want that to happen again.

"Hey Zoey, the guys are getting hungry and are talking about stealing your truck to go and get food." AB said as she walked into the tack room. "Are you ok?"

"Wade just kissed me." I told her.

"And…" She said, urging me to go on.

"And I think I want it to happen again." I said looking up, dazed.
