Chapter 1
Amy couldn't help bursting out laughing at Ty's face of regret.
"S...s...sorry" she said, gasping for air. Ty's face of regret turned to one of confusion.
"YES I'LL GO OUT WITH YOU AGAIN!" She exclaimed. Now it was Ty's turn to look surprised.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes." she answered, grinning at his surprised face.
"No pranks?" he checked.
"Nope." she answered, still grinning.
"OK. I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. Any ideas?"
"um, we could redo our first date?" Amy suggested.
"Sure, we'll see what's on tomorrow." he said.
"Make sure it's a horror." she said, winking. She galloped away before Ty could answer. She heard him kick Harley into a gallop and he was soon galloping next to her. They saw Jack walking out of the barn and thundered up to him. They stopped just before they reached him and dismounted. Jack saw them and walked over.
"Why so late back?" Jack asked them.
"We went deeper in the forest as usual and then we got lost." she explained quickly. "Is it OK if Ty stays in the spare room tonight?" Amy asked.
"That's fine. You two should go find something to eat. Lou should have something done." he shooed Amy and Ty to the house and went to cool off the horses.
"Hey Lou." Amy called when they reached the house.
"Hey Amy. Ty." she said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Hi Lou." Ty said, smiling.
"Ty's staying tonight." Amy said.
"OK. I saved this from supper. You can heat it up and share it." she said, handing Amy a bowl. She walked away and Ty sat down while Amy heated the food up. Soon they had both eaten and were in the living room with Lou and Jack. They had told them they were going on another date and they seemed fine, much to the relief of both Amy and Ty.
"How many more days before the summer holidays?" Lou asked. Amy and Ty looked at each other as they worked it out.
"1 week and 2 and a half days." Amy finally said. Lou looked at them questionably when she said 'and a half days'.
"At the end of every full term, the last day is a half day which is pretty much two hours." Ty explained. Lou nodded and Amy grinned at him.
"want to go out and do the night-check?" Amy asked after a while.
"Sure. Let's go." Ty answered, getting up. Amy got up and they walked outside. They slowly walked to the barn.
"I'm so glad they didn't mind us going on a date." Ty said.
"why would they mind?" Amy asked.
"because of what happened last time." Ty said quietly. Amy walked over to him and put her arms around him.
"but that was the past. They know you've learned from your very big mistake." Amy said, grinning. "don't expect my dad to take so easy though." she sighed. Ty looked at her. He saw that she didn't want to tell him.
"We will have to tell him though. The sooner we do it, the better."
"I know. I'll tell him to come over when we get back tomorrow." Amy said. Ty nodded and they walked back up to the house.
They walked back into the living room to find Jack but not Lou.
"Where's Lou?" Amy asked.
"she decided to go to bed. You just missed her." Jack said as Amy and Ty sat down again.
"I'm going to invite dad around to tell him about me and Ty going out again.
"you sure you want to do that?" Jack asked. He knew as well as Amy that he would lash out.
"no. I don't want to do it in fact but as Ty pointed out, I'm going to have to tell him sometime soon and the sooner the better."
"Yeah. I suppose. I'll make sure I'm here for when he lashes out. I'll make sure Lou is too."
"can I invite Soraya around too? She doesn't know yet." Amy added.
"Yep." Jack answered. He knew Amy also wanted Soraya there for back up.
"OK. I'll go call her quickly now." Amy said and got up.
"you two could do with gong to sleep too." Jack said. Amy nodded and walked away, Ty following close behind her.
"Hey Soraya." Amy said into the phone.
"Hey Amy. What's up?"
"not much. I was wondering if you could come around at about 8.00 pm tomorrow?"
"sure. Why?"
"I need to tell you something. I'm going to invite my dad around too. I was hoping you'd back me up when he lashes out."
"OK. I'll see you then."
"thank you. Bye." Amy hung up and turned around to see Ty standing behind her. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her.
"she can make it?" Ty asked.
"she can." Amy replied. She looked at him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. Amy shyly kissed back which soon turned into eagerly kissing back! She let her eyes slip closed. Ty pulled apart and Amy eyes slowly opened. She smiled at him and he grinned back. Before Amy knew it, she was being pulled into another kiss.
That was one thing she loved about Ty, he never worried about coming on to strong, he just did what he felt like doing.
The kiss ended too soon when Ty pulled back and just turned and walked into the spare bedroom without saying any more. She turned and walked into her own room, smiling softly.
