Crystal blue eyes squinted open when the sunlight began to filter through the window. She tried to turn over and realized that she had opted to sleep on the floor, letting the other two girls sleep in the bed. No wonder her back was killing her. Naomi's stiff body slowly moved into a seated position before she pushed herself up to stand. Her hands moved around to her back, pushing softly into the sore muscles. After a quick glance at the clock, seeing that it was only 9am, she decided she'd take this time to go take a nice hot shower, hoping that would relax her body enough to melt away the pain.
The hot water ran down her naked form. Her hands moved along her form with the lavender scented soap. She found it rather odd that Pandora had the exact same body wash that she used, but she just shrugged her shoulders and decided not to think much about it. Naomi knew exactly why she liked this soap; it filled the bathing chambers with a wonderfully sensual scent. It was also quite good at washing away the scent of the men she would sleep with. Under the heat of the water, her body began to relax, and she could almost feel her back muscles loosening. It was feeling almost as good as an orgasm… almost. Then again, she hadn't had one of those in a while either, at least not one she could remember. Seems she'd been picking the wrong blokes lately for her one night stands.
By the time she was clean and relaxed she heard a pounding on the door. "Hurry up Nao's… I want to clean up too! I can't wait to see the horses!"
Naomi cringed at the nickname that Pandora had called her. It was one thing to be called Nai, but she just couldn't stand Nao. She slipped from the shower and wrapped herself in a large white towel and exited. "There you go, yeah?" the blond said a little more harshly than she had intended, but luckily for her Panda didn't even notice and the girl bounced inside.
She snuck back into Panda's bedroom and was surprised to see that Effy wasn't there. Maybe she was showering in the other bathroom. Naomi found a skirt that she had left here along with the shirt that went with it, and slipped into them.
Nearly an hour later the group was dressed and ready to go, and go they went.
The drive seemed to take much longer than it should have. Each competitor was listening to their own music to get them ready. Katie had her iPod set to shuffle, so it was playing anything from Rock to Rap to Punk. Anything fast paced really. It was her normal routine to listen to such music and when a slower paced song came on, she would skip to the next one. She wanted to feel the speed in her veins, feel the beat pumping her to go faster. Emily, on the other hand, was listening to soft ballads, classical, and even some world music. It was calming and relaxing music that would help her to concentrate on the steps and movements that she and Thunder would need to take to get the blue ribbon.
The Fitch family pulled in next to another truck and trailer and all piled out. James hopped out and walked right toward a huge group of women… he was in heaven. Jenna and Katie immediately began to fix their clothes and hair using the windows of the truck. Emily and Rob got started getting everything unpacked.
Rob grabbed the spotlessly clean Black English saddle and set it on the edge of the truck bed before doing the exact same thing with the western saddle. He set the bridles over the saddles quickly after that. Emily went about getting the horses from the back. She opened the back up and Sir Paint was visually shaken. He never did like being shut in the trailer, but one would think after all the times he was put in one that he'd of gotten over it. The younger twin whispered again to him and led him out, tying his lead to the side of the trailer. Emily walked back in and clipped the lead to Thunder's bridle and led him out. He wouldn't have run away, but others would be wary of an un-haltered horse following the red head.
Father Fitch started to brush off the Paint steed as Emily did the same to the Friesian while Jenna and Katie went off to sign in. The barrel racing competition was first, but even it didn't start for an hour or two, depending where in line Katie was set to ride. The more time between now and the competition only made the younger twin more and more nervous. As she worked on the black stallion she whispered, both to herself and her equine friend. Thunder's mane and tail were long and wavy, and he looked rather handsome. "Atta boy…" she whispered to her steed as she patted him on his thick, muscular neck. Chocolate brown orbs looked under Thunder's neck to find her father's gaze. "Dad, can you feed them and I'll grab us a bite to eat?" His short answer was a nod before he continued on brushing Sir Paint. He set the mix of hay and alfalfa down in front of each stallion and let them enjoy their lunch while he waited for his daughter to get back with some food for himself.
The trio walked up to the rodeo looking park. They clearly stood out compared to the wrangler and cowboy hat wearing crowd. It did cause the three girls to get some stares and gazes though. Pandora was oblivious to it all and just wanted to go watch and maybe pet the horses. Effy and Naomi were trailing behind their excited friend, glancing at each other once in a while to laugh at their crazy friend.
The three decided that they should eat something before they got too far away from the dining area. There were all sorts of tents that had all different types of foods. Of course there were burgers, hot dogs, and fries, but there were also places to get steak, ice cream, and cotton candy… none of which was sounding very appetizing to the blond.
Crystal blue eyes took in the sight of a short, but fit, red head that was walking toward the burger and hot dog stand. Without a word, she moved toward that same line, feeling compelled all of a sudden to get a hot dog. Her eyes shamelessly wandered up and down the stranger's form. The pants she wore were tight, but they were still a little loose too, and the green top went perfectly with her hair color. Naomi realized that she was checking out this girl, like REALLY checking her out, not just admiring her.
She could feel her cheeks begin to redden for no apparent reason at all, and in a moment's time Effy was standing next to her. "Panda wanted a steak." She said without any emotion in her voice. It wasn't until Effy finished her sentence that she looked over at her red-faced friend, who was still staring at the back of the red-headed girl in front of them. Ef gave Naomi a quick shove to get her to pay attention. The moment Naomi tore her gaze away she looked over at her azure eyed friend who just stood there with a knowing smirk on her face.
Naomi looked away, embarrassed for the thoughts running through her head. The thoughts themselves weren't what bothered her, what bothered her was that these sexual fantasies were about a girl… a girl she hadn't even seen before, or spoken to, in her life. She could see Effy reach into her pocket and without asking the blond took the closed hand, ripped it open to grab the pill that was there and shoved it in her mouth.
The red headed girl turned around after collecting the food items she had just purchased. Naomi froze. Crystal blues got locked with the sweet chocolate brown orbs of the stranger and suddenly she was trying to breathe. Taking a sharp inhale wasn't the best thing to do, however, especially since she still had the un-swallowed pill floating around in her mouth. The small pill got stuck in the back of her throat and her eyes watered as she tried not to choke or gag on it.
The unknown red head half set down, half threw the burger, hot dog, and her father's soda on the condiment table and removed the lid from her water. By this time the blond was leaning forward with her hands on her knees, trying to cough up the pill. The stranger stepped forward, brushing her soft fingertips along Naomi's jaw and bringing the cup up to her mouth. The blond stopped coughing long enough to take a long drink of the water, which luckily pulled the pill along with it. The red head took a step back with a flush on her face and turned around, picking up her burger and hot dog and running off without saying a single word.
Naomi tried to call out to the stranger, but her voice got caught in her throat. It was only then that she realized that the beautiful girl had left the other drink on the table. Her hand reached forward of its own accord and picked up the cup. It was an inner battle within her, to stay, or to go. Somehow her legs started to move after the unknown girl and once she was out of the crowd she picked up the pace. "Hey… hey you…" she called out, but the red head was just too far away.
Emily's face was deep red as she walked as quickly as she could from the embarrassing situation she had just gotten herself into. She couldn't think of even one other thing she could have done though. It wasn't as if she could have just let the blond girl with the piercing blue eyes choke to death. The younger twin could still feel a burning sensation along her fingertips where she had touched the strange choking woman. It was such an odd feeling, but it wasn't exactly a bad thing.
The red head could swear she heard someone calling out, saying 'Hey… hey you…' but she didn't turn around. She didn't want to feel stupid if it wasn't directed at her. Emily actually wished she could have the courage that her twin had. She would have been able to stay and make sure that the strikingly beautiful blond was okay, maybe even start up a conversation. Wait, what… a conversation? What for? The confused chocolate orbed girl slowed her pace as she got to her father, and only then did she realize that she had forgotten his drink on the table.
