Darby walked back to Cade. Quite excited that Megan was willing to give up her crush for her. She smiled at Cade. "What did Megan want?" "Oh just to clear something up." Cade gave a short nod. "Want to go on a ride?" "Now?" "Yeah now." "There might be work to do here." "You could come with me on a ride to protect me." Cade nodded, then said, "I'll go ask Jonah." "Want me to come too?" Cade shook his head and then gave his explanation, "You can saddle up the horses." Darby went to get the saddle and other gear, then smooched at Navigator and Joker. She wasn't too sure about saddling up Joker, because he seemed to by a one boy horse. Like Samantha Forster's old horse, Blackie. Sam had had an accident and Blackie ran away and ended up being the Phantom. Also like Huku her Nevada mustang that she had rescued. She wanted to ride Huku but she didn't think that that certain horse would do for what she wanted to do today. She spaced off into a fantasy. Cade was riding Joker and she was riding "Gator". Cade leaned towards her and their lips met. He pulled back from the kiss "Oh Darby. Darby?" "Darby!" Darby snapped out of her daydream and blushed. "You are blushing why?" "Um no reason." Cade walked over to his appaloosa, Joker and saddled him up. By the time Joker was saddled up Darby and Navigator were waiting. "So where do you want to go?" Darby shrugged. "Why don't we just ride around?" "And risk seeing wild pigs? Don't think so." "Cade!" Darby wined. "Darby." "Why don't we ride by Pearl Pasture?" "K"
Darby and Cade rode in silence. After about ten minutes Darby reined in Navigator. "Something wrong Darby?" Darby shook her head, then motioned for him to move closer. He did. She moved Navigator a little bit closer to Joker. Then she motioned for Cade to lean closer. He did. He had thought she was going to whisper something to him, and when she kissed him he pulled back in surprise. "Why did you do that now but earlier you couldn't?" "I can't tell you." Cade looked at her confused but decided to just return the kiss. Later when Darby looked back at that moment she thought that was the best kiss ever. Cade thought the same. "Cade promise me something." "What?" "Don't tell Aunty Cathy, Jonah, Kit, Kimo, Or Megan about this. Don't tell anyone!" "I wouldn't do that." Darby sighed a sigh of relief. She was Jonah's granddaughter and she wasn't sure how he would take his foster son and granddaughter having a relationship outside of friendship. Darby leaned back in the saddle and closed her eyes. That had been fun.
Cade's POV
Darby had just pushed him away when he was about to kiss her. Why had she done that? Did she know how long it had taken him to work up enough courage to do that? Then Megan had just swooped by and said, "Um Cade could I borrow Darby for a sec? Thanks." She grabbed Darby by the elbow and pulled her to a nearby tree. "Um yeah Megan, thanks for asking." A moment later he heard Darby shriek, "My what!" He stared at her in question.
About a minute later when she came up next to him he couldn't resit asking, "What did Megan want?" He thought that it might have something to do with the fact that she liked him and Darby liked him and he liked Darby. Yeah it was pretty confusing. "Oh she just wanted to clear something up." Cade understood that. Well understood it as much as he could understand girls, so he gave a short nod to let her know he got it. "Want to go on a ride." Cade was jerked out of his thoughts to hear what she said. "Now?" "Yeah now." "There might be some work to do here." He did want to go with her he just wanted to see how far she'd go. She cut to it right away. "You could come with me to protect me." Cade had to admit that there were wild pigs out there that could injure or kill someone. "I'll ask Jonah."
Cade walked up to the house. "Cathy, where's Jonah?" "I'm not quite sure." "Well Darby wants to go on a ride and I think she's scared about wild pigs cause she asked me to go with her." "And you want to know if we can spare you long enough?" "Well kinda." "Go ahead." Cade's face broke out into a big smile. "Thanks Cathy!" He ran outside where Darby was saddling up Navigator. Well at first that's what it looked like but now it looked like she was daydreaming. "Darby? Darby!" "Darby's head snapped up, and her face turned an interesting red. "And you are blushing why?" Darby's face turned a little more red, "Um no reason." Then was the question of where to ride. Darby wanted to ride just anywhere but in the end they rode over by Pearl Pasture. They had only been riding for about ten minutes when Cade noticed that Darby had stopped. "Something wrong Darby?" Darby shook her head. Cade was puzzled but he didn't let it show. His puzzlement grew when Darby motioned for him to move in closer. Once more he didn't let it show. Then she moved closer and motioned for him to lean in. He thought that she was going to whisper something in his ear, but he liked what she did better. She kissed him. There was one thing still on his mind. "Why could you kiss me now but not earlier?" "Can't tell you." Man girls were so confusing, but regardless he decided to kiss her back. After that he was about to say something but Darby beat him to it, "Cade promise me something." "What?" "Promise that you won't tell Aunty Cathy, Jonah, Kit, Kimo or Megan, about this." He could agree to that just fine. "I wouldn't do that."
After sitting there for a while they continued their ride and then raced back home.
Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks :)
