Sorry for the long wait I am leaving for school next month and it's been crazy trying to get everything I need. Plus I just got a new job so working in writing is hard. I'll try to do better before I leave but no guarantees. : (
The next two weeks passed quickly for Sam. She continued to help Jake with Rebel every day after school and he was starting to show some great improvement. With Jake coaching her Sam was now able to ride Rebel with no trouble and he is responding to her every command. But any time Jake tried to ride him Rebel would keep bucking and crow hopping like a wild bronc until he could manage to throw Jake from the saddle.
But today was going to be different Jake and Sam wouldn't be working with Rebel because it was the night of the mother daughter fashion show at Darton High. They had even let the kids out of school early today so that way everyone could get ready for the show. Sam had stayed at school to help set things up and then choose what outfits she and Maxine would be modeling. That left Jake on his own to work Rebel that afternoon and things weren't going good for him.
At River Bend
"Come on boy, you just have to let me get this bridal on you. I promise that I won't hurt you." Jake said in his soft horse whispering voice. Usually it would calm a horse down but it just seemed to scare Rebel.
"Rebel, I know you don't like me and I'm not Sam but you need to get use to me just help me out here." Jake couldn't believe it he was actually reducing himself to begging with a horse. The old Jake Ely would never do that, just what had Sam done to him!
I wonder why he is so afraid of me but does just fine with Sam. He has had a bad past but I thought we had worked past it. I guess I'm going to have to wait until Sam gets back and she can work him. Jake thought to himself as he left the round corral and stood leaning against the fence watching Rebel sniff around.
At Darton High
"Sam have you decided which outfits you and Maxine are going to wear?" a excited Jen asked as she came running up to Sam who had just entered the locker room/dressing room
"Not yet, I haven't even had a chance to look at what we get to choose from. I've been helping set up the gym for the show. Have you found the outfits you and your mom is going to wear." Sam asked with less enthusiasm than Jen. She was starting to doubt this whole idea.
"Off course I have, I helped bring in the clothes so I got to choose before anyone else saw what all there was to choose from! But I put aside a couple outfits that I thought you and Maxine would look good together in." Jen said as she practically dragged Sam to a secluded part of the locker room away from anyone else.
"Wow Jen, these must some really great outfits if you are hiding them all the way over here!" Sam said with a laugh
"Sam, these outfits are perfect for you to model so I didn't want anyone to take them." Jen said in a hushed tone as she unlocked one of the lockers and pulled out several outfits in their protective bags.
Jen slowly opened the first of three garment bags and pulled out two denim miniskirts with a red plaid shirt and black tank top for Sam and a blue plaid top with a light green tank for Maxine. Sam looked at the outfits carefully trying to find the right words to say.
"Jen, do you really think these look right for me and Maxine. I mean do you really think Maxine would feel comfortable n a mini skirt!?" Sam asked as she eyed the first set of clothes
"One Sam these skirts aren't too short they go mid-thigh, and two Sam you have a great body and so does Maxine
"One Sam these skirts aren't too short they go mid-thigh, and two Sam you have a great body and so does Maxine yall can totally pull this off!" Jen said while she pulled out bag number two
Next Jen pulled out a pair of short jean shorts for Sam, and a longer pair for Maxine to wear. With matching blood red tank tops and black plaid shirts. Jen pulled out two belts with silver belt buckles. The one for Sam said "Cowgirl" on it and had a horse riding around a barrel on it. The one for Maxine had a horse shoe on it.
"Oh Jen, I love this outfit!"Sam said as she admired the clothes
"That's not all of it!" Jen said with a sly smile as she pulled two pairs of boots from the bag. She had a pair of 11 inch black Justin's that had a red design on the side for Sam, and a pair of 8 inch solid black Ariat's for Maxine.
"Jen these are awesome! You know I have always wanted a pair of these!" Sam said as she admired the boots
"I know that's why I got them for you. Guess what? You get to keep one outfit from the three you wear tonight." Jen said with a wink as she turned back around to pull out the last outfit.
"I saved the best for last" Jen said as she pulled out the last outfit
"Jen, this is so beautiful, I can't possibly wear it!" Sam said as she admired the last outfit
Ok, a little cliffy on what the last outfit turns out to be. There may be a couple of twists in the next few chapters not sure yet. Please Read and Review!
