He had a checkered shirt, buttoned open with a black t- shirt underneath, the red and white checkered shirt was rolled to his elbows, you could see his muscles underneath, he looked at little like his father, he had the hair but he was cleanly shaven, no hair on his face. He was also wearing light wash jeans that showed off his legs perfectly and cowboy boots.
I bit my lip; I looked back to his face and noticed he was checking me out.
"Mr. Marston, don't you say hello to a young woman before looking at her like you are?" I giggled at his blush.
"Please call me Jack." He held his hand out.
"I'm Delilah." I took his hand to shake but he brought it up to his lips and kissed it, never disconnecting our eye contact, his lips were warm and soft, softly caressing my hand. I felt my cheeks turn a brighter shade and bit my lip again. He took the book out of my limp hand and reaching over me to slot it back in place. "I'm sorry I was in here it's just that Abigail got me to sleep in here because John hadn't got the bed up in the spare room, your mother said that the bed should be done today so I'll be out of here before you know it." He chuckled.
"My dad has got other things to do, you can sleep in here again tonight and I'll sleep on the sofa in the lounge."
"No, that's not fai-"
"My parents raised me to be a gentleman." He interrupted. "Besides, I'll be fine." I started fiddling with my hands.
"Thank you."
"No problem, now my mother told me that you wanted to go for a ride." I really must've been sucked into that book, not noticing he was back and all. I nodded. "C'mon then!" He walked out of his room, grabbing his hat from the table next to the door; I followed him out walking beside him.
"How was your trip?" I made a conversation.
"Quite good actually, how are you liking it here?"
"Your parents are so nice, giving me a shelter and all, and a horse."
"You got the new horse?" I nodded.
"Well, yeah. But then John was saying that you were going to take it for a ride and I felt really guilty." He smirked.
"Its fine, I already has my own horse, Storm." I looked around but saw no sign of another horse.
"But I don't see any other horse but Echo." He did that smirk again and whistled, just like his father did, and before I knew it a horse came cantering towards Jack, a jet black horse with a dark mane and tail, just a blaze of white down its face. It halted next to him; he smiled and gave it a pat.
"How do you do that?" I asked.
"All you do it whistle using your fingers, know how to do that?" I shook my head, "See just hold your hand like this then blow, but you need to have your mouth like this." I was embarrassed to admit that I did stare at his lips, I did as he told me but it didn't work and I frowned, he chuckled again and took a hold of my elbows and turned me to face him, less than an arm lengths of space between us as he took my hand and showed me the shape, then he told me to blow. It worked. I smiled as Echo came trotting towards me.
"Thanks Jack." I said as we both mounted.
"No problem. Now my mother told me that you said you could ride?" How did I miss this conversation about me?
"Yeah, I love it." He nodded.
"C'mon, then." We both ordered our horse to go into a canter and rode away from the farm. We rode side by side past the wild horses, I stared at them.
"If you want, I'll teach you how to lasso wild horses and break them in." Jack called to me; I smiled at him and nodded.
"That would be great."
"I would like to know more about you." Jack told me.
"Go on then."
"Wait, do you see that lake over there?" He pointed to it.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Race you to it!" He spurred his horse on to get it to a gallop, I followed him and managed to catch up, when we got to the lake we were side by side.
"That was a good race." I smiled to Jack as we both dismounted and let the horses roam by us.
"Yeah it was." He sat down and tapped the spaced next to him, wanting me to sit down next to him, I complied, and I crossed my legs as he had his legs out in front of his, slightly apart and his elbows resting on his upright knee. The sun had started to set and it was shimmering on the lake.
"So how old are you?" He asked, I started fiddling with some grass on the ground.
"Eighteen and you?"
"Eighteen."
"Favorite book?"
"Hush Hush, yours?"
"Harry Potter."
"I didn't think you would read those type of books." I looked at him, his face was brighter because of the suns' reflection, and he then smirked.
"There are a lot of things you wouldn't take me for."
"Hmm, and are you going to tell me those things?" I teased.
"Maybe, maybe not." He grinned, "It's for me to know and you to never know." I giggled.
"Isn't that a bit unfair?" I pouted, his grin grew.
"Hmm, I don't know- Hey!" I stole his hat and put it on. I laughed as I ran away from him, he was following , I whistled for Echo and she came almost instantly, I jumped on he and started to gallop away, I heard Jack whistle and then the sound of Storm behind me, I turned around to see Jack smiling but squinting at me like I was his enemy and I shrieked with playful laughter, though the laughter got cut short.
Suddenly Jack had caught up to me and was standing on Storms saddle, I gasped and tried to go faster but Echo snorted in protest. Jack jumped off of Storm and went into me and I fell off of Echo, we were both laughing as we rolled down the hill, I didn't know how it happen but he ended up lying down with me, straddling him on top of his abdomen, my hands on his chest, and it was firm.
We were staring into each other's eyes, I was biting my lip. We stared at each other for what felt like forever until I eventually cleared my throat and got off of him.
"Sorry."
"Its fine, keep the hat for tonight, it looks nice on you." I thanked him and we resumed talking about what's happened in our lives, trying to get to know each other.
The moon was out, and I was getting tired, the last thing I remembered was falling against Jack's soft arm, and him wrapping his arms around me as I fell into dreamland once again
Sorry for not updating!
My computer crashed then I went to Wales, I won a fish : )
I also got a bad review so to be honest, if you don't like a story why read it? This is my story and yeah, I do like people giving me ideas and constructive things but I don't live to please your grammar issues.
But to everyone else, thanks for the reviewing and I hope I haven't lost you. I have made chapters though up to 1O, so I'm all ready for uploading : D
