A few weeks passed and everyone was doing great. Matt and Andrea broke up, they were basically fading away from each other. But Matt recently grew interest in Dani.
Junior and Dani pulled into Raintree's driveway in Juniors black Porsche. Dani came to see Matt and Junior came to see Kris. Once they got out of the car they went their separate ways. Junior went to the stalls and Dani went to the house.
"Knock, Knock." Dani said as she walked through the door.
Matt walked out from the kitchen, "Hey Dani," he said and walked over to her to give her a friendly hug.
"What brings you to the 'rival ranch'." He asked.
"Well, if you must know. Junior wanted to see Kris, so I thought I'd come by and say hi to you."
He smiled, "thanks for coming then." He said and walked back to the kitchen with Dani following.
"Do you want anything to eat... drink?"
"Just a water." Matt reached in the fridge and handed Dani a bottle of water.
She smiled. They sat down at the kitchen table and engaged in a conversation.
Meanwhile, Junior had just found Kris. She was talking to Wildfire at the far end of the stables. Junior walked around on the outside of the stables so she wouldn't see him. He sneaked his way behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
She jumped a little bit.
"Oh, I'm sorry... Did I scare you." Junior said sarcastically and smiling.
She returned the smile, "just a little bit." She turned to face him and he leaned in for a kiss.
"Junior, stop." She said giggling, "Ms. Ritter is around and Pablo is probably somewhere close by."
He smiled at her and kissed her again, then pulled her into one of the rooms in the stables so they weren't in plain sight.
"So, do you think he will be able to be in any races coming up?" Jean asked Pablo as they watched Oklahoma do a work out at the practice track.
"His times haven't been his best. He seems more worn out each day. It may be best to retire him instead of put all this pressure on him and make him even worse." Pablo replied speaking from his heart about this horse.
"He's been the main thing that's been keeping this ranch out of debt. If he retires, what will we have left?"
"Wildfire." Pablo said back.
"He's only been in one race. We can't guarantee he will win every one."
"We can't guarantee any horse will win every race. But he has heart, a big one. I can see it when he runs."
"Should we go get him, see how he does?"
"It wouldn't to try."
Pablo made his way back to the stalls to get Wildfire.
He walked in and heard some giggling but then just ignored it.
"Alright Wildfire, lets see whatcha got."
Kris heard him walking in and immediately pulled away from Junior. Even though they weren't in his stall Pablo could see them if he looked over.
Junior stood there smiling while Kris was watching Pablo closely to make sure he didn't see anything. Pablo got Wildfire out of his stall and walked back to the track.
Kris let out a sigh and then laughed. She looked back to Junior.
"Let's go out tonight." Junior said.
"And go where?"
"OPM."
"Junior, that place is like 50 bucks each time you go."
"Look at who you are talking to and say that again." Junior said laughing knowing he had plenty of money to get them in.
She laughed, "fine."
He smiled at her and gave her another kiss.
He eventually left so Kris could get ready for their date. She took a quick shower and so did he. They both got ready and Junior came to pick her up at 7:30.
When they got there he had his hand laced with hers. He walked her over to the bar.
"What can I get you to drink?" the bartender asked them.
"Uh, a club soda." Kris replied.
"Two club sodas."
After a while Kris pulled Junior out on the dance floor. The whole time they laughed, talked, while enjoying each others company. Eventually a slow song came on. They looked deep into each others eyes and flowed to the music as if they were in sync with each other, knowing each others moves and gently holding onto each other. Her arms were wrapped around his neck and his arms around her waist. Like they were in a perfect love movie or living a love song. After the song was over they headed back to the bar.
"I think Matt's here. Do you want him to join us?" Junior asked Kris.
She shrugged her shoulders, "Sure, I don't mind."
Junior went to go get him.
"Can I have a water please?" She asked the bartender.
He gave her the water and Kris turned around to see where Junior and Matt was.
Right as she turned around she bumped into someone and spilt her water.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She said turning read not making eye contact with the person.
"It's ok," he said grabbing a napkin. He looked up at her and was shocked.
"Kris?" He said not realizing that it was her.
"yeah that's--" She stopped herself when she found out who she was talking to.
