Around 8:00 a.m. Kris and Junior had fallen back asleep. Kris woke up at 9:47 a.m. and went to the kitchen to make some coffee and cook breakfast. Junior woke up around 10:00 and snuck up behind Kris and grabbed her by the waist.
"Whoa!" She turned around and Junior kissed her.
"Look who rose from the dead." Kris said sarcastically.
"Hey you shouldn't be talking, you the one that fell back asleep first." Junior said teasing her back.
"It could have been you." Kris said as she hit Junior playfully.
"Oh, so you wanna play this game, I see." Junior said as he started to tickle Kris.
"Ok you can stop now." Kris said teasingly while laughing.
Junior stopped a little while after she said that. After they had breakfast Kris hopped in the shower and while Junior waited he watched TV. When Kris got out of the shower, Junior got it. When they were both done they sat down on the couch and watched a movie. Kris had her head lying on Junior's chest. After they finished the movie, they went out to lunch.
After lunch Kris had to go to Raintree to go warm up Wildfire to get him ready for his new jockey.
"Alright Kris, just take him easy today. I don't want him to be worn out for the jockey today."
"Ok." Kris said as she got on Wildfire.
Kris whispered in Wildfire's ear, "Ok boy, you can do this."
Right as the gate flew open the jockey pulled up in his car.
"Whose that riding Wildfire?" Tina asked.
"Kris." Pablo said while avoiding eye contact with Tina.
"Why don't you have her ride Wildfire in the race? Oh, that's right she can't"
"Tina, do you want the job or not?" Pablo said while getting angry.
Tina was quiet till Kris got back with Wildfire.
"Hey Kris."
"Hi." Kris said trying to keep the conversation as short as possible.
"How have you been treating my Wildfire?" Tina said.
"Your Wildfire?"
Tina didn't talk back.
"So, I think we should blow him out today." Tina said.
"You know I never blow a horse out the day before race day." Pablo said sounding annoyed.
Tina got the point. "How far do you want me to take him?"
"A mile."
Once Tina was finished Kris took Wildfire to cool him off.
"Wildfire, you have no idea how much I want to ride you in that race tomorrow. I know you can win that race tomorrow."
Wildfire gave Kris a nudge.
"Yeah I know it is Tina but, you have a bigger heart than her. You can do it."
"Talking to horses are we." Matt said as he walked in.
"Yeah, he's a good listener."
"Yeah he is. Me and Dani are going to the club tonight. Do you and Junior want to come?"
"Uhm I'll ask Junior but, yeah I'm up for it."
"Alright we are going to get there around 7:30."
"Ok. But I should get going." Kris said as she walked Wildfire over to his stall.
"See ya!" Matt shouted as Kris was walking out of the stables.
When Kris got back to her apartment she noticed Junior was gone. She decided to call him.
"Hello."
"Hey Junior, Matt asked me today if you and I wanted to go to the club with him tonight."
"Uhh, sure." Junior said. He was shocked that Matt wanted him to come along because of what they had been through.
"Ok, he said he was going to be there around 7:30 so I guess we could meet him there."
"Alright, do you want me to pick you up or just meet there?"
"I don't care which ever is best for you."
"I'll pick you up."
"Ok, sounds good.
"Ok, well I got to go."
"Bye." Kris said as she hung up the phone.
It was around 7:20 and Junior had just picked Kris up and they were both in the car.
"Hey Junior I have a question."
"Ok, what's up?"
"How come you sounded shocked when I asked you if you wanted to go tonight?"
"Well… when you said that Matt asked you I was confused because I didn't think that he would want me to go since we have been through a lot lately."
"Oh." Kris said. Oh seemed to be like the only thing to say because she felt guilty because of what had happened between them.
The car was silent until they got there.
Dani and Matt were both sitting at the bar and Kris and Junior joined them. They talked, trying to get things all figured out. Matt and Junior were on the road to reconciliation. By the end of the night Matt and Dani were the first to leave and Kris and Junior left shortly after.
"Tonight was good." Junior said while driving back to Kris' apartment.
"Yeah it was. I am just glad you and Matt came back to reality."
Junior laughed, "yeah me too."
They pulled up to the apartment. When they got out Junior had his arm around Kris' waist and Kris had her head resting on Junior's shoulder as they were walking. Then they got to her door.
"Are you staying tonight or are you going back home?"
"I think I'll go home tonight."
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow then."
"Ok." Junior said as he bent down to give Kris a goodnight kiss.
"Bye."
"Bye." Junior said as he started to walk down the hall.
The next day Kris had to go back to Raintree to get Wildfire into his trailer for the race and Kris and to get everything ready for him.
