Chapter 4
"Sam," my dad said in a whisper I gave the briefest of nods before I was engulfed in his arms.
"Sam, I'm glad you're home sweetie" My Gram had tears in her eyes as she took her turn to hug me.
Bryanna and Cody hugged me quickly and rubbing my eyes on my sleeve I said, "glad to be home."
"Sammy!" Quinn shouted followed by all the other Ely boys, everyone except Jake, hugged me. When they stopped Quinn grabbed me and dipped me like they do in those fancy dances and kissed me all over my face. I tried to get away but he wouldn't let me so in good nature I took my shoe off and hit on the back of the head he let me go and I fell. As I was getting up almost everyone was laughing then I said to Quinn "You do that again and you'll get what's coming to ya!" Pointing my show at him trying to keep a straight face.
"What this?" he said giving me a quick peck on the cheek, and laughing as he made a run for it.
"You're gonna get it now Ely" I scream chasing after him and out the door thinking to myself I knew he had his eyes all over me but couldn't he have said something, I mean when has Jake not called me brat or said something smug to me UHG! I can't think about him! I must kill the guy in front of me first.
"Come and get me!" Quinn yelled
"Just you wait" I screamed now forming a plan on a quick stop to the barn I picked up a rope and hid it behind my back getting a close to Quinn as I could before I started to limber up the rope and with a flick of my wrist the rope landed over his head when it reached his calves I pulled it tight needless to say he hit the ground. While laughing hard I ran up to him and tied him just like I did on the pro calf roping circuit that I competed in all over the country. I finished on record time then threw my hands up in the air, mentally kicking myself for doing it, I hoped no one would take any notice and walked away with a grin on my face.
"Wait, Sam, you aren't leaving me like this, are you, I am sorry come on Sammy let me go please?" Quinn said with a whimpering voice.
"No I'm not that evil—" I tried my hardest to look as if I was contemplating something.
"Sammy, I don't like the look on your face," Quinn said kind of scared.
"No wait I changed my mind I am that evil you'll have to wait for someone else to get you," I said with a sly smile creeping on my lips.
At that point in time I noticed everyone staring at me with shock in their eyes.
"Wow brat where did you learn to do that?" He looked shocked at how many just flew out his mouth.
"hmph I guess I've always known" I said hoping it was believable.
"Now Sammy do you expect us to believe that you had him tied faster than a pro!" Kit said "and I would know."
'If you only knew' I chuckled at that, Did I just say that out loud?
"In order, knew what and yes." Adam said smugly smiling
"Sam?" her father asked in a 'what have you been doing and why do I not know' way.
I bit my lip how do I get out of this "Can I explain later?" I wasn't asking and before they had a chance to question me I turned and hightailed it to the barn where I found Ace. "Hey pretty boy did you miss me?" I kissed his cute little nose and turned to walk out of the barn ready for a sleep after a long bus trip. As I turned I hit a rock hard chest then looking up into those 'mustang eyes' how I missed those… No I can't think like that he is part of the reason I left, he hates me—
