Chapter 7
"Ah, the old jumping course, it has been a while since I have been here!" Ty exclaimed, dismounting Harley and wrapping his rein around a tree.
"I know, I haven't been back since, well… I can't even think when," Amy replied, doing the same with Spartan. Ty lay out a blanket and Amy got the food out of her saddle bag and put it down on the floor. They both sat with their backs up against a rock and Ty poured them each a bowl of soup and Amy split up the bread and butter. They sat in silence and ate their soup. Once they finished they sat and watched the horses graze.
"I love it here, it is so peaceful," Amy sighed happily.
"I know… its just so, well us isn't it. I remember when I built this place, I knew how much jumping on Spartan meant to you. I could see the pain in your eyes when he wouldn't go in that trailer," Ty explained.
"Well, that kind of was the beginning for us wasn't it? I mean you building the jumping course, and then also helping me get Spartan into the trailer. Remember that night I woke you up at like the crack of dawn asking for your help?" she asked.
"Yeah, I do! I gave you a good view though didn't I?" Ty laughed.
"Meh, it was alright," Amy teased.
"You're such a tease!" Ty exclaimed as he started attacking her sides. Amy let out a shriek and was trying to get out of his hold.
"Ty! Let go!" Amy yelled breathlessly.
"Make me," he teased, grabbing her more and holding her down.
Amy managed to turn around and put her arms around his waist, she leant in and kissed him, he immediately stopped and carried on the kiss, wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. The kiss soon turned passionate and when they finally came up for air, they were both lying on the ground, facing each other.
Ty sighed, "So… you wanted to talk?"
"I think we need to talk about what has happened between us," Amy explained, "I have a few… well not questions, but well I don't know… I am just scared of what you are going to say."
"I promise I will be 100% truthful with you, I know what we did the other night is a huge step for the both of us…" Ty started.
"No, I know. Obviously, you are my first and I am so glad that you are, because you were so nice and easy about everything… I am just scared about me, I mean, it hasn't really affected me much, because I love you and you love me. Also, this would have happened much sooner if we hadn't broken up. However, I can't help but feel inadequate." Amy sighed.
"What? Why would you feel inadequate? You were amazing, I mean look at us here, we are pretty much back together. I love you, so much. I really don't know what would make you think you were inadequate. Why do you feel like this?" Ty asked.
"It sounds stupid but, I just am scared, because you have had past relationships and I just haven't. Like I have no idea if anything I am doing is right. I know I sound so stupid and insecure but I don't know how I compare with those girls… and it just scares me," she said, but looked away due to a feeling of embarrassment.
Ty smiled, he realised that this could have been on her mind, but he too was afraid to admit anything to her, "Amy, look at me." He started and waited for her to look at him, he wiped the lone tear that ran down her cheek, "I haven't been with anyone else."
Amy shook her head, "What? But what about Kerry Ann? And Kit? I thought… well, I assumed…"
"No, never. I kind of only wanted to do it with someone who I well and truly loved with all my heart, I couldn't face the possible feeling of getting hurt by anyone. Kerry Ann was literally a no one, we weren't together 'together' she was just someone to talk to in the home – seriously, you should have seen the others. We never did anything, I couldn't face it because she was a horrible person and I knew, that I would get hurt. Kit, well, she was just a distraction from you. I wish I had never even got with her, just because I hurt her for no reason. Like, yeah I liked her but I never loved her. I was and still am, in love. With. You." Ty emphasized the end sentence.
"Oh my god, I should have been more trusting! I should have never assumed! I feel so much better now, it was just weighing on my mind. I was scared that I wasn't good enough for you, and that I wouldn't be able to live up to your past standards. Oh Ty, I really do love you!" Amy exclaimed, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you too, so. One question that I need to ask, and this is going to sound sooo cheesy, but. Would you go out with me? Again?" He laughed.
Amy pretended to ponder the question, "Hmmm… Let me think about that… of course I will," she laughed and leant in for a kiss. When they came up for air, they rested their foreheads against each others and brushed their noses together, "I love you Ty Borden."
"I love you too Amy Fleming." He replied, kissing her again, "What do you say to us going home and watching a movie up in the loft? I have that 'Bridesmaids' downloaded, I have heard that it was good."
"You know what? That doesn't sound too bad. We can go over to the main house and get some crisps or something? I think Lou bought some Doritos the other day too, cool original flavour – your favrioute." She teased.
"Ooh, that does sound good! Come on, let's go." Ty replied, standing up. He held his hand out for Amy and helped her up. They both got packed up and rode back to Heartland.
"Right, I will untack the horses and go upstairs and set up the film, you go and get drinks and snacks?" Ty asked as he jumped off Harley.
"Okay, meet you in about 10? I am sure Lou will want to talk, you know what she is like!" Amy replied, handing Ty Spartan's reins. He gave her a kiss and she ran off into the house.
She walked in to an empty kitchen and saw that Lou and Peter were playing with Katie on the floor of the living room, "Hey, we are back!" she said.
Lou jumped up and went into the kitchen, "So, how did it go?" she asked.
"It went great, everything is sorted now I think. Where is Mal?" Amy asked.
"Oh it is just us four for dinner, she is in town with some friends from school. So, is everything ok with you two? Are you back together?" Lou asked.
"Yeah, we are. We are going up to the loft to watch a film before dinner, do you have any of those cool original Doritos left?" Amy laughed, she was grinning like a Cheshire cat.
"Yeah, in the crisp cupboard. I will come over and get you once dinner is ready, it won't be for like four hours though, I am doing a chili." Lou informed her.
"Ooo sounds good, yeah just come and get us when you're ready. We are just watching films. See you later," Amy replied.
"Yeah, see ya." Lou said as Amy left and ran out the door.
Lou walked through to the living room to see Peter playing with Katie on the floor with some sensory toys, Lou smiled and went over to sit on the floor, "Seems like them two have sorted things out, I am going to go and get them once dinner is sorted," She said.
"Aww that's great news! I am happy they sorted things out. Its gonna be less awkward around here now then! When you go over there, make sure you knock first," Peter joked.
"Oh don't… that was so embarrassing! They're lucky I am not grandpa! I have warned them to be very cautious when grandpa is around though, I couldn't imagine what him walking in on that kind of situation would do to him!" Lou cringed.
"It would probably give him a heart attack, and then as soon as he is well enough, he will get his shot gun and shoot Ty. Also, he would kick his arse so far down the road, that he would be crappin' in Montana!" Peter laughed.
"Gotta love a grandpa Jack threat! He gave Scott the same talking to when he first got here! It was really funny!" Lou exclaimed.
"I bet Scott appreciated that! I am sure if I was lucky enough to have known you when you were young, and innocent, that I would have got the exact same warning!" Peter jested.
"Aww, do you wish you had one of those warnings? Because I think if you did, then grandpa would have like killed you way before we got married!" Lou teased.
"Hey, I wasn't that bad was I?" Peter asked, feeling offended.
"Meh, you were alright," Lou joked, she leant in and gave him a kiss. But as soon as they started kissing, Katie started crying.
"And so it starts…" Peter groaned, pulling away.
"Okay… so I don't think this is what we intended to do," Ty joked.
"Yeah, I honestly did just want to come over and watch a film… but you just knew which buttons to press didn't you?" Amy laughed, resting her head on his bare chest.
"I know, I am awesome!" Ty laughed.
"Oh shut up you… Hey can you pass me your hoody? I am so cold up here! I really don't know how you do it!" Amy shivered.
"My hoody is all the way over there! You flung it pretty far when you tore it off," Ty teased, "But you can wear this instead." He said passing her a long sleeve t-shirt.
"Thank you, at least I have you to keep me warm! I think I will be just fine with this on!" Amy replied, she put the t-shirt over her head and grabbed Ty's laptop. He quickly logged on and got the movie up ready for them to watch. He placed it on a box that was near his bed, so he and Amy could both watch it, without having to move. He lay back down and opened up his arms for her to lie in. He clicked play and they sat and watched the movie.
The pair of them had fallen asleep within the first half an hour and were only woken up when Lou came into the room, two hours later. "Wake up sleepy heads! It's time for dinner!" She laughed.
Ty and Amy both stirred, "Oh really? Wow, can't believe it is that time already! Sorry, we must have fallen asleep… we will be over in 5 minutes," Amy replied.
"Okay, see you over there," Lou said, "Oh and Ty?"
"Erm yeah?" He replied groggily.
"You may as well bring some clothes and PJ's over for tonight and tomorrow, it is really cold in here and me and Peter are so 'sleep deprived' we probably wouldn't notice if you didn't go back to the loft tonight… if you get my drift?" She said 'cryptically' as she walked out the loft and walked back over to the house.
"Okay… that was, weird…" Ty said as he sat up and passed Amy her clothes.
"Well, I suppose she knows about us, especially after yesterday… and the fact she gave me a box of condoms… Plus, grandpa isn't home until tomorrow afternoon so its not as if he will find out, is it?" Amy asked.
"No, true. I will grab some clothes now then! Wow, I can't believe your sister is so cool with this!" Ty exclaimed, getting up and putting some clothes in the
"Well, she said at the end of the day we have been on and off for 5 years and she said when she was our age, she was doing things with lads who hadn't been her on/off boyfriend, so was no place to judge. Plus, it really isn't the 1950's anymore is it?" Amy reasoned as she pulled on her boots. Ty put some stuff in a bag, "Yeah, true! Right come on, you really made me work up an appetite!" he teased as he started walking down stairs. Amy turned the light out and followed him.
They walked over to the house where they had a nice relaxing evening with Lou, Peter and baby Katie. They all sat round and watched a couple of films after dinner. Amy and Ty went back outside and quickly did night check, in between. The last movie they decided to watch was 'Run Fatboy Run' which they were all howling with laughter at, but obviously being quiet due to Katie sleeping 3 doors down. After the last movie, Lou and Peter went to bed and Amy and Ty sat up a while longer, they caught up on the latest Brooklyn nine nine and then went to bed. They walked into Amy's room and both got undressed, Amy got into bed and Ty laughed, "So, I take it that is your side of the bed then?"
"Well, this is the side I always sleep on, so yeah, kinda… Why?" Amy replied.
"Well, I always sleep on this side of the bed, so I guess this makes us 'meant to be'." He smirked as he climbed into bed.
"God you are such a soppy bugger! But, I love you for it." Amy said happily.
Ty opened his arms for her and she lay her head on his chest, "I love you too Amy. Good night." He laughed, kissing her head.
"Night, Ty." She yawned. They both lay there in each others arms and finally fell asleep. This was the happiest ether of them had been these past few months.
