Chapter 10

Chance POV

I hold Leah's hand as we sit in our first class seats waiting for take off. She fidgets, yet again."Chance are you sure? These seats had to cost a lot."

I let out a breathy chuckle."Leah. Honey its perfectly fine. I don't fly much, but when I do I fly first class. They tickets are round trip and we have two weeks at the old place before having to come home. Just sit back and enjoy yourself."

She nods, defeated. I don't mean to sound rude but money is not a problem for me. I still need to tell her about all that. About how I'm so rich I have no idea what to do with the money I have. Being the only child,or so I thought, and my parents being only children all the money from my grandparents and mom came to me. With Ma and Pop-Pop having a very successful cattle ranch and mom having a HUGE inheritance, I hit eighteen and money wasn't a problem for me anymore. I sold the ranch to Jack, the foreman who was like a second father to me, and he's doing great. He still insist on living out in the bunk house however, leaving the big ranch house empty except on my rare visits.

"Chance. Chance wake up." Leah's warm breath tickles my ear. Her small hand shaking my shoulder. I sit up and stretch best I can. Rubbing the back of my head I look over at her,"Sorry doll. Didn't mean to conk out on you like that."

She smiles,"It's okay. Come on. Time for me to melt in this heat."

Laughing, I get up and take her hand, leading her off the plane. We collect our luggage and I lead her over to the gang. They are all giving me a knowing look. I hope Leah's ready for the headache crew I call my friends.

Leah POV

Man! He wasn't kidding when he said it was hot here! I'm in a frigging building and I feel like my face is about to melt off! A girl with short blonde hair squeals, throwing herself into Chances arms. Chances face lights up and he chuckles,"DAISY!"

He places her in front of him and holds her at arms length,"Dang baby girl you got big. How's my brother doing?"

She smiles,"He's good. Physical therapy is rough on him but hes determined to walk again."

He reaches for me, pulling me to his side tightly. I look up and see his face is full of pride. "Guys this is my girl Leah Clearwater."

The five people wave at me all smiling. Does everyone smile all the time here or something?

One guy steps forward and I swear he's a giant. Like a legit giant. He's taller than Chance and the guys back home! He holds a hand out,"Well howdy Leah. Nice to met Cha. I'm Drake."

This went on and on and on until finally I had met everyone. And to be honest I'll have to ask Chance later to run by everyone again because I don't remember what any of them said. We all pile in a big truck and head to Chances home. I sigh as I listen to him catch up with his friends. I yawn, nestling into Chances side more. He automatically wraps an arm around me and soon I'm falling asleep.

Chance POV

Even with my arm going numb, I don't move. I can't bring myself to wake Leah up. Drake looks in the rear view at me. "So you finally found her huh?"

Everyone back home had already settled down, except Chase. Drake is with Daisy Jane. They look odd together. Daisy being slim with large hips and long blonde hair. Drake is half Mexican and had a slight Spanish accent from spending summers with his dad in Mexico. Janie is next to Daisy, long black hair and very VERY pale skin. She's engaged to Daisy's older brother Jake who's a marine. Chase looks a lot like me but with dirty blonde hair. Lastly was Ben. Little Benny. He's Drakes younger brother. You couldn't tell it though. They look like twins. Ben's been with the same girl,Stacy, sense middle school.

I look up at my old friend and smile,"She's gonna marry me one day. I'll grovel at her feet and beg and plea til she does. She's the one."

Daisy turns and looks at me,"How do you know. You just met her. I don't want you coming back with a broken heart."

I smile at the little fierce thing in front of me. Daisy had always been like a little sister. Her brother practically lived at my house when we were growing up. She was always tagging along, saying she could do just as much as we could if not more.

"I just know. Thanks for caring though."

We'd gotten to the ranch house by then. I waved as the guys drove off, letting Leah and I rest for awhile. We'd be meting them tomorrow for lunch at the pond. After getting a ranch hand to carry her bags, I place Leah in my old room. After thanking the new guy, I carry my own bags to the room next door. Having my room right next to the master bedroom sucked as a teen. Made it harder to sneak out..or sneak anyone in. I accomplished it numerous times though. Stripping down I take a quick shower, before pulling on a pair of pajama bottoms and flopping on the bed, sleep finding me fast.

Leah POV

Ugh so hungry! Need to pee! To lazy to get up! Finally though, the urge to pee became unbearable and I got up. Chance must have placed me in a room when we got to his place from the airport. I don't remember him waking me up and my bags are still packed. I spy a door that connects to the bedroom. I rush in, locking the door and do my thang. I then rush back to my room and grab my lounge wear and head back to the bathroom for a shower. After washing off I dry off and change, wrapping up my hair. I hear movement in the bedroom and sigh when I see its Chance. He smiles up at me sleepily.

"I figured you'd be hungry because I'm about to starve. Want some breakfast?"

I smile,"Sure. What time is it?"

He shrugs,"Six in the morning. The hands have been up working for about an hour. I figured after breakfast we could get dressed and go riding until time to met the gang at the pond."

I squeal, jumping in his arms,"That sounds amazing."

Kissing his cheek loudly, I hop down and walk out of the room and down the stairs. Chance passes me after the last step and leads me to the kitchen. I'm sat at a bar in the middle while he cooks for me. I sigh, quickly texting Emily and my mom that we landed safe and are settled at Chances. They'll see it when they wake up. After breakfast, we go our seperate ways to get ready. I pull on my Blue anchor suit, covering it with a white tank and a pair of jeans. I pull on a thin pair of socks and my boots. Shoving a pair of flip flops and a towel in a medium size back pack, I head downstairs. I shove two waters in the back and met Chance at the frot door. And my my I must say the man looks good in a pair of Jeans. "Shirt?"

He grins,"Baby I don't wear them at the pond. Liking the view?" He winks at me.

He knows I like it! I just shrug indifferently,"Is alright."

He laughs outright and we head out to the barn. Maybe I should have mentioned I've never rode a horse in my life earlier? Oh well no time like the present.
