AN: I'm so sorry it took so long to get this up! I hate it when I'm reading a story and an author never updates so I feel really bad for doing it to all of you. Hopefully I will be updating much more often and getting the rest of this story out there. Thanks!

How can I tell him?

Jake looked at Jen while Sam was laughing and said "Brat's friend" with a slight nod; which made Sam laugh even harder.

"Well that's so much better!" Jen said with a huff.

Still grinning Sam turned to Jake. "So what are you doing here anyway Jake?"

"Just was riding when I saw you and came to say hi." Jake pulled the brim of his hat down over his eyes which made Sam look thoughtful.

"What's wrong Jake?"

He blanked out his expression and denied anything was wrong, "Nothing, I'll see you later Brat, I'm coming over to work the new horse."

"Oh, see you later Jake..."

Jake was riding off when Jen asked what was wrong with him. "I'm not sure." Sam said frowning.

"Ok... Well back to our subject before we were so rudely interupted. What brought this on?"

"I think I'll let that little comment go this time. Anyway, I was thinking about him while I was writing yesterday and, I started to think about his body and his face. I don't know how it happened but I never noticed when he became a man."

"Personally, Jake doesn't appeal to me at all but I know what you're talking about. Especially with those brothers of his."

Sam laughed and got a dreamy look on her face, "His parents sure did a good job."

"Yea, they must have had fun him and his brothers are so close in age." Jen said grinning.

"Jen! Well great now I have to get those thoughts out of my head ew. But, thanks for not over reacting about this. I wasn't even sure about what my feelings were for him and you helped me put things in perspective. Now the only problem is figuring out how to clue him in too."
