Morning came to early and so did Emmett waking me up, "Bella time to get up and get ready to head out to the fields." he said through the door. "I'll be up in a few minutes." I said before throwing the covers off and heading for the bathroom. I took a quick shower, washing my body and shaving my legs. Once I got out I wrapped the towel around me and headed for my closet. I looked at the new clothes and picked out a pair of "Daisy Dukes" as Alice called them, all I saw was a pair of cut off jean shorts, I also grabbed my new boots before going to grab a tank top from the dresser as well as panties and a bra. I got dressed before putting lotion on my freshly shaved legs. Once I was done I slipped my boots on before heading upstairs to breakfast.
"Bella you're up mighty early." Tori said when she saw me walk into the kitchen. "Yeah Emmett suggested that I help out around here instead of looking for a job in town. Plus I don't want to just be here and not help so here I am." I said smiling. "That's very kind of you Bella and thank you. I'm actually short handed today so instead of you helping the guys you could help me with the animals today sound good?" she asked as she handed me a glass of orange juice. "Sounds good." I said smiling. Emmett walked up, "What sounds good?" he asked as he stood beside me. "I'm gonna help Tori today instead of you guys. But maybe at lunch I'll bring you guys some sandwiches or something." I said and Tori smiled. "Finally a woman that's gonna feed me lunch while I'm working!" Emmett said causing me to laugh. "Alright well I already ate breakfast so I'm headed out." Emmett said before he left through the side door.
I ate quickly before Tori and I headed out to the barns. "So we are gonna go feed the hogs first then we are gonna feed the chickens and check the calves. We'll go on from there." Tori said before handing me a bucket. She filled it with whatever it is that the hogs eat before she filled another. I followed her to the pins where the hogs were and she showed me how to feed them. It was truly gross but life changing in a way. "You can tell that you're from the city." Tori said laughing. "That bad huh?" I asked laughing with her. "Not bad but you'll get the hang of it after a few weeks. Now feeding the chickens is a little easier just don't run away from them or they will chase you." she said and I felt my eyes get huge. I followed her to feed the chickens and then she took me out to a separate barn, "This is wear we keep the calves until they are old enough to go out with the other cows." she said and that was the first time I had every seen a baby cow. "They are so cute." I said and then Tori handed me a bottle. "The solid white one was born yesterday. She doesn't have a name and I thought maybe she could be yours." Tori said and I smiled looking at the calf. "Okay but what's the bottle of milk for?" I asked. "You have to feed her every few hours until night. So what are you going to name her?" Tori asked and I watched as the calf lied down. "Mary." I said and the cow looked at me. "Looks like that fits perfect now go feed her so that we can get back to the house and make lunch for the guys before we go finish taking care of the other animals." Tori said. She showed me how to feed Mary before she went to feed the other calf.
Once the two calves were feed Tori and I headed back to the house and made sandwiches for all of the guys. We also packed one of the big coolers up with water and Gatorade before putting the cooler on the back of a four wheeler. We put the sandwiches in a different cooler as well as some bags of chips, we put that on the other four wheeler before Tori and I set out to find the guys. I followed Tori to one of the fields and saw that same flatbed trailer and tractor. I laughed at the memory of Emmett trying to teach me how to drive that damn tractor.
When we got close enough I saw that the guys were shirtless and all sweaty. Tori and I parked the four wheelers and went to talk to the guys. "Hey y'all" Tori said smiling at all of them. "Hey ms. Tori how are you today?" one of the guys asked. "I'm good now y'all should be thanking Emmett and Bella here. They decided to have lunch today. So I need some help getting these coolers off the four wheelers." and with that said all of the guys went and grabbed the two coolers, all of the guys but Emmett. He pulled me to the other side of the tractor.
"Hey you." he said and I smiled up at him. "Hey yourself." which caused him to smile. "How has your day been so far?" he asked and I had to think about it. "I named the calf Mary." I said and he laughed. "So mom is letting you raise her. But other than the calf what else have you done?" he asked and I listed off what Tori and I had done. "Sounds like a very productive day so far. I've been out here baling more hay. Later we could use your help getting it back to the barn. What do you say?" He asked. "As long as we still have our night in the game room like last night then I say hell yeah." I said. I wanted to lean up and kiss him but I didn't know what his reaction would be. It was like he read my mind because within a few seconds of me contemplating kissing him his lips met mine. It didn't last long because one of the guys cleared his throat. "Emmett are you gonna eat with us or are you having fun swapping spit with ms. Bella here?" he asked and Emmett looked over my shoulder to him. "I'm actually gonna go take Bella somewhere I'll be back in an hour." he said before Emmett took my hand and walked around the front of the tractor. "I'll be right back stand here okay?" he asked once we were standing by the four wheeler that I had brought down. I watched Emmett walk over to the cooler and grabbed the rest. "We'll be taking this back to the house momma." Emmett said smiling at her. "Okay just be safe." Tori said smiling and placing two waters in the cooler before Emmett walked over and strapped it to the front.
"Ready to go?" he asked looking at me while I was still watching him. "Yeah." I said and he climbed on the four wheeler and I got on behind him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and we headed back to the house. "So why did you want to come back to the house for lunch?" I asked when we parked beside the house. "Well it's a little more romantic than in a field with a bunch of other guys. Plus I wanted a little alone time." he said smiling at me. I hopped off the four wheeler and followed him to a spot in the back yard. We sat in the grass and ate the sandwiches. It was more romantic than the field full of guys, yes, and I loved ever minute of it. That is up until he had to head back to the field and I headed with his mom to the gardens.
"So what did you and Emmett do?" Tori asked as we picked the fruit. "We just ate and talked like we were best friends. If it wasn't for Emmett I really don't know how I would be right now here. I love it here but its because Emmett showed me the reasons to love it. I can see myself making a life here." I said and looked at Tori, she was already looking at me. "A life here or a life with Emmett?" she asked. "Both I guess but I really don't want to jinx it. I've never had a really good relationship but I can tell that Emmett is different. I just want to see where the time takes us." and it was true I didn't want to rush things. For now Emmett and I were seeing what we have together. For now nothing was set in stone.
