The next morning, Kris had arrived at the Clinic bright and early. She was eager to see Wildfire. She walked over towards the stalls and starting whistling.
"There you are Wildfire" she said as she walked over and kissed him
"How did you sleep last night?" she asked smiling. "Are you ready for your workout today?"
She walked Wildfire out so he can stretch his legs.
"Morning Kris" she heard Noah say.
"Morning Noah. How's it going? She asked.
"No complaints. So how's Wildfire doing this morning?" he asked as he walked over to check the dressing on is leg.
"He looks good." she said.
She worked with him for a good couple of hours before she headed back towards the stalls.
"Good boy, Wildfire. You did such a great job today. The Ritter's and Pablo are going to be so excited to have you back." she said sadly.
Wildfire could tell it was hurting her, so he just nuzzled her as she smiled at him. "I'll see you later."
…
"Ugh", complained Laura as she woke up. She had a big hangover and was paying for it this morning. She woke up to the sun peaking through her blinds. "oh god it's too bright and too early, if I ever drink this much again someone shoot me" she cried out loud. She couldn't really remember what happened last night especially how she got home. She got up and walked towards the kitchen to get some coffee. She had to be at work in about 2 hours so she took her time getting ready.
Her phone rings, hoping it was Junior she answered .
"Good morning beautiful." She heard.
Her face pouted as she looked at the number and didn't recognize it.
"Who is this?" she asked
"It's Bobby." he said.
"Bobby, what do you what?" she asked annoyed not really wanting to talk now that it wasn't Junior.
"Don't tell me you forgot what happened last night already?" he asked.
"What are you talking about. All I remember was drinking with my friends, drinking and dancing with you - and?"
"And?" he repeated.
Laura was trying to remember what else. She closed her eyes while she was racking her brains. All of a sudden her memories of last night flooded back. She remembered saying 1st round was on her, then she a few more Sarah bought, Bobby bought her a few drinks, and next thing she knows she was on the dance floor with him as he held her tightly, the way Junior does. She rested her head on his shoulder and she looked up at him, as he leaned in for a kiss. She remembered not refusing the kiss but being intrigued by it. They continued making out for awhile. She snapped back into reality as she heard his voice again.
"No No No, she shouted as she shook her head repeatedly as she screamed now with a bigger headache.
"I knew you wouldn't forget. So how about breakfast?" he asked.
She got upset that he was still on the other line. "NO! I have a boyfriend, I told you." she shouted.
"Well, last night you didn't" he responded smartly.
"Well last night I had way to much to drink, I was feeling great, enjoying myself until you came along and messed that all up!! What was I thinking! Ugh! Lose my number! Don't call me again!" she screamed into the phone and then hung up.
She stood there freaking out. " I think I'm going to be sick." she said. "What am I going to do, if Junior ever finds out" she started saying "He'll never forgive me." she sighed as she closed her eyes starting hyperventilated. "What am I going to do?" she thought. "I love Junior, I can't lose him, he can NEVER find out!" she said out loud as she grabbed her phone.
…
"Morning mom," said Matt as he came downstairs. She was going through the mail at the table.
"Hi honey. You're up bright and early" she said as she looked at the clock.
"I had a late interesting night last night." he replied.
She smiled and shook her head.
Jesse then walks through the door.
"Good morning Jean" he said. "Morning Matt" he said as he tapped him with a rolled up newspaper nudging him.
"Mom, can we talk" asked Matt. He got the hint from Jesse.
"Sure, it sounds serious. What's going on?" she asked worried.
"Well I've been doing a lot of thinking," he said. "I really want to get Raintree back into racing."
Jean sighed. "Matt not this conversation again. You already know where I stand with that."
"Jean, just listen to Matt. Give him a chance to talk."
"Fine." she said
"Mom horse racing is in our blood. It's what Raintree is all about, look around here, it's not what it use to be. If Henry was still here he'd be disappointed in us. We could have it be like old times with Us, and Pablo, Todd coming home, Jesse now being here and-"
"Don't say it Matt."
"Fine I won't but you know that I'm right. Why won't you give it a chance? Why can't you just let go of the past. She made a mistake, how long are you going to punish her?" he asked frustrated.
"It's just not a good idea Matt." she said, "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too mom, but this is something I'm have to do. With our without your help." he said as he got up and walked out the door.
"Jean-" Jesse began.
"Don't- she replied.
He nodded his head grabbed his coffee and headed out the door.
…
Junior had to get to a meeting he had with Kalvin to go over the presentation. He came down the stairs excited to get to work but that all changed when he runs into his dad.
"Oh boy" he said as he continued coming down.
"Junior there you are. You're up bright and early." said Ken "You have time for Breakfast? We should sit and talk." he said
"No can do dad. I'm actually running late for a meeting. See you later." he yelled as he grabbed an apple on his way out the door. He examines the apple.. "Kris" he thought as he smiled.
He arrived at the clinic 15mins later to find Kris sitting in Wildfire's stall reading a book.
"Hey" he said as he walked over to the open door.
"Hey right back at you" she replied as she looked up and smiled at him.
"Brought you something" he said.
She watched as he tossed her an apple.
Her smile widen. "Thanks" she said as she took a bite of it.
"So what's up?" he asked.
"I'm eating hay and wildfire's reading" she said as she looked up at him to see his reaction.
"ahhhhhh"- he said as he pointed at her.
He remembered exactly when she said that to him the first time, he and Matt threw a house party while Jean and Pablo were gone. "Brings back old memories" he said as he laughed.
"So where you off too." she asked.
"Wind Turbine Meeting with Kalvin in 15mins." he said
"Sounds fun" she said sarcastically. "Hey how about lunch? She asked him. "Are you free, because if not we can do it some-"
"No lunch is good." he said as he cut her off before letting her finish her sentence.
She laughed. "Okay, I'll see you then."
"Sounds good."
…
"Hello" answered Sarah in a groggy voice.
"Sarah, wake up!" she heard Laura yell
"Laura can you not yell, my head is about to explode. The suns to bright and it's way to early for all this commotion. What's wrong?"
"I have something very very important to tell you. I really don't know how to say it-" she exclaimed.
"Calm down, what happened." she said as she yawned.
"Sarah, I-I kissed someone other then Junior last night!" she said now ashamed.
"YOU WHAT?!" screamed Sarah as she sat up. "What?! When? How? OMG!"
"Sarah what am I going to do? Junior would never forgive me. I've been accusing him of cheating on me with Kris when I know he's faithful to our relationship. I messed up big time." she said as she sighed. "I had way to much to drink, then that stupid Bobby guy came over."
"You and Bobby. Oh god Laura, he's so not your type. He's the bad boy, club owner- who gets people into trouble with gambling."
"Sarah, that's not the point. What am I going to do? I love Junior, I can't lose him." she exclaimed
"Alright, alright. Did you like it?"
"Like what?" she asked confused.
"Did you like the feeling of kissing another guy that's not Junior. You say you love him, do you really?"
"No I don't like kissing other guys than Junior. I was very excited that we made up, but I guess I was missing the excitement from other guys too. Bobby was a big mistake. I told him to lose my number and never call me again. I love Junior. "
"Oh Laura, what are we going to do with you." Sarah added as she hits her head. "You and Junior are perfect for each other."
"I know Junior is my future and he's the man I want to marry someday."
"Okay, I'm glad we established that. NOW, Junior CAN NEVER FIND OUT about YOU and BOBBY, because then It would be the end of YOU and JUNIO.R" said Sarah.
"I know. I made a big mistake and it will never happen again." said Laura.
