"Kris where'd you put my riding stuff?" Gus asked as he was buttoning his pants on a normal morning at the Cater/Furillo/Gibbs apartment.

"The closet" Kris yelled from their bathroom after spitting out the toothpaste and water mixture in her mouth.

"Thanks" Gus said grabbing his bag out of the closet.

A knock came to the door and Mia's ruffled voice came through the door with a ten-minute warning.

"Ten minutes babe. Slow down." Gus said as Kris ran out of the bathroom and rustled in her top drawer. Gus settled down on their bed and watched as his girlfriend moved at top speed.

Gus got up tired of her trek, grabbed her by the hands, and kissed her softly. Kris momentarily lost herself in his sweet kisses.

"Now what are you looking for doll?" Gus said huskily into her ear, his hot breath against her neck.

"Nothing now" Kris said kissing the tattoo on his neck ever so slightly like she always did.

"I love you too." Gus said before kissing her again.

"Hey love birds, lets go." Marc said interrupting their moment.

"Coming" Kris, said before kissing him one more time. Summer was now her all time favorite time of the year, well for now it was.

Back at the Davis farms…

Junior traced figure eights with his thumbs on Gillian's shoulder as she slept in his arms. Gillian's eyes slowly opened and she smiled up at her lover.

"Good morning sexy." Gillian said playing with his short brunette hair.

"Good morning to you too Beautiful." Junior said before kissing her then pulling back only to play with her silky, long, blond hair. "Want do you want for breakfast?"

Gillian gave him that 'I think you know exactly what' look making him get hot.

"Other then me?"

"I don't know" Gillian said laughing. "Anything"

"Okay well lets get dressed and get down there."

"Okay"

"Dad that's crazy, no way?" Gus asked as he followed his father around heading toward the stables.

"Yes! Gus, now get over it." Gus, Mia, and Cain's dad, Daniel Carter, said continuing to the stables to do something Gus knew his father would regret.

"Dad please, you'll regret it if you do it. What's so wrong if they love each other dad? Firing Marc won't stop him from asking her to marry him, dad. They love each other, dad he's the best trainer you have don't do it!"

"Gus grow up I won't have a child of mine marry a stable hand or trainer." Daniel said whipping around to face his youngest son.

"Then I guess Kris isn't good enough for me right?"

"Kris is different."

"No she's a stable hand give or take. If I told you I wanted to marry her you wouldn't care so why can't sis and Marc be together?"

"Because…" Daniel shook his head

"Exactly, I don't know why I even bother with you." Gus walked off toward his car.

"Where are you going?" Daniel shouted to his youngest son.

"Home, why do you care?" Gus said slamming his door and pulling up to his dad. "Fire Marc if you want dad but just remember it ain't going to change shit and you'll be looking for a new trainer."

With that Gus drove off without even a glance back.

Kris was watching T V when Gus came into the apartment as angry as a bull in a rodeo. He went strait to the room and Kris followed. She hated when he got like this, he could hurt himself or worse someone else.

Kris plopped down on the bed and watched his heavy breathing as he lay down on the bed. She sighed and shook her head, here she went again.

"What happened?" Gus opened one eye underneath the cowboy hat he wore.

"I don't wanna talk about it."

"Gus Anthony, I know better."

He lifted his hat off his head and placed it on hers.

"You know I love ya right?"

"Of course." Kris said giving him that sexy grin she knew he loved. He rubbed his fingers up and down her arm. He got up and went to the side table drawer looking for something before coming back to the bed. "What do you have?"

"Patience. You know I've been thinking after the day I've had I think we should get away from this shit hole for awhile."

"Like a vacation?" Kris said excited

"No like finishing my dream to become the best damn bronc rider in this whole country."

"What?"

"I'm running away to the rodeo Kris and I want you to come with. You love horses and riding, this way you can ride horses it's not racing but it's something right?"

"Oh wow Gus. I'm tired of running, I like it here."

"I like it here to but I want us to have our own place. One we don't have to share with my baby sister and her boyfriend."

"We can do that here, Gus."

"Kris I'm going with or without you. I like it if you'd come." Gus pulled a velvet box from behind him.

Kris' heart nearly skipped a beat when she saw the box, he opened it to a small ring with a blue butterfly on it.

"Kris you have made me happier then anyone in the world and if you don't want to go with me okay and if you do great. Either way I want to insure that you never forget me when I can't be there next to you." He took the ring out and took her hand in his. "With this ring I promise you I'll never let you down and even when I can't be there for you I'll be in your heart and on your finger. This ring is a promise for a real engagement ring when we're ready. I love you."

Kris was in tears as she softly kissed his lips, unable to speak.
