I would like to thank the people who reviewed: naleysocute23, Illusion to Life…this chapter is more cute and short since I'm feeling a little sleepy when I wrote this…my plot bunnies have a cold so their not working at their full capacities.
It was a beautiful warm day in spring, Alice and Caleb were going to do an activity together. Since she ascended you always found them together as if they were attached by the hip. Alice did gave Caleb some space, he did have his time with the boys.
« Caleb I promise it's not as bad as it seem's. » Alice stated
« Are you insane, look how high you are, and that thing is huge. »
« It's not that high up and Contessa can take our weight…now stop being a scared mousey momma's boy and get up on this horse now! »
Caleb wasn't looking forward to riding a horse, but Alice loved it so he decided to put on a brave face and swallow his pride.
« How do I get up on it excatly? »
« Firstly it's not an it, it is an mare and her name is Contessa. Secondly you are going to put your left foot in the stirrup. »
Caleb put his left foot on the stirrup.
« Now what? »
« With your left leg you are going to push up, when you get up you are going to swing you right leg over and then sit down…come Caleb it's easy as pie. »
« For your information pie is not easy have you ever tried to make pie…I always screw up the crust. »
« Stop babbling and get up here. »
« Fine, fine…fan of though love are you? »
Caleb did as she said and with ease he was up on the horse.
« Hey I'm up…it's not so bad. »
« Yeah, yeah just take your left foot out of the stirrups and hold on to me. »
He took his left foot out so she could place her two feet in the stirrups, and he placed his arms around her and held on for his life.
Alice was able to find the ranch of a family friend out in Ipswich and they had some beautiful trails that lead to a clearing in fields of wild flowers. So Alice decided it would fun and romantic, Caleb had packed a lunch which he carried in his backpack.
Alice made a clicking sound with her mouth and she squeezed Contessa's side and she started to walk. After a while she gave the command for her to trot and she did.
« How are you doing Caleb. »
« I'm okay kinda of bouncy…you kitten? »
« I'm fine but I think it's time to go faster. »
So what did she do, she gave the command for Contessa to go into a gallop. Caleb out of fear tightned his hold on Alice since he wasn't scared per say but he definetly was freaking out with the increase of speed… he also closed his eyes shut.
« Caleb you can open your eyes now. »
Caleb opened his eyes and saw that they had stopped and they were at their picnic destination.
« How do I get down? »
« Same way you got up but with differences. You are going to swing you leg over so that your knee is touching the sattle then you just slid down. »
He did that exactly and found himself on the ground. A few seconds after Alice cam down from Contessa and let her graze.
They both walked to a spot where the sun was shining down on them…best part of this part of spring has to be that everything is new, fresh and that fact that there isn't any snow on the ground.
Claeb took out a blanket and layed it out on the ground, after that he took out the packed picnic lunch. On the blanket was snadwiches, fruit, cheese and crackers, soda to drink.
They both sat down and started to eat.
« Where on earth did you find vanilla coke? »
« I have my sources…miss kitten. »
« Fine then keep your secrets. I have some secrets of mine own. »
Caleb got closer to Alice
« And what are these so call secrets of yours? »
« That's for me to know and for you to find out. »
« Really. » Caleb answered with a smile on his face
Caleb started to kiss Alice's weak spot which was the side of her neck.
« How…about..now? » Caleb asked between kisses
The only reaction he got was Alice who couldn't stop giggling, she couldn't help herself she was just so happy.
« I think we should get back before you make me do something that you will have no control over. Besides it's allready four I have to bring Contessa back.»
« If we must. »
They both packed the remaining of the picnic in the Caleb's backpack…there wasn't really that much to pack except for the blanket and the plastic pots.
An hour later they both arrived at Spencer, had a shower and a change of clothes…for Alice anyway. Tyler and Reid arrived at Alice's dormroom, where Alice and Caleb were.
« You guys ready to go at Nicky's ? Tyler asked
« You boys go and have fun…I'm really tired so I'm just going to turn in early. » Alice said
« Are you sure? » Caleb asked with a look of concern on his face
« Go on…boys night tonight…do what you want except for anything illegal or sexual. »
« Gee…kill the fun why don't you! » Reid exclaimed sarcasticly
The three boys left the dormroom and left Alice alone since Kate and Pogue were on a date.
Alice changed into her famous kitten pj's and then closed the lights, then falling strait ot sleep as her head hit the pillow.
