Chp 5
I smiled as I watched Percy ride Blackjack with his grand dad in another horse next to him. I had been washing my hands, and had gotten lost in watching as he joyfully rode along side his family.
"Everything alright dear?" Sally said, breaking me out my day dream. I jolted and quickly dried my hands. "Yes, all fine." I said, smiling at her. She peeped out the window and smiled as she saw Percy riding.
"Come, let's gave a talk." She said. We walked and sat on the porch steps together. "You know, Percy told me when he was eighteennd used to come here as much as possible, that one day he would bring just the right girl to the ranch. She would be the only one he would ever have to take." She said, rubbing her hands together.
"And you are her." She said, smiling at me. I watched as. Percy smiled as her rode his horse. "What do you think of Percy?" Sally asked. I looked at Percy, trying to think what to say.
"He's kind, sweet, funny, makes me smile. He changed me." I said, as I stared, mesmerized at his strong athletic form. "He takes my breath away. He's- indescribable." I said, forgetting who I was talking to, just to mesmerized to think of where I even was,
"When I met him, I wasn't in the best of places, but he made me realize that things can be different." I said. I blinked myself back to reality, and turned to see her smiling at me. "You like him." She said. I bit my lip and nodded.
She chuckled and said, "Well he likes you too." From then on, I felt like I didn't need to hide our relationship. That she liked me and was happy to have me around.
Percy caught me looking at him and winked. I smiled at him. "Sally." I said, then looked at her. "Percy and I haven't officially been dating, but he want to change that." She nodded and looked back to Percy.
"And you don't want to?" She asked. "I do, but Percy leaves for Yale in a month. I'm going to be here, and only see him when he comes back for his next vacation." I said, sighing.
"And I dont want to tie him done if he meets someone else there." She smiled at me. "You'd be surprised how loyal he is. And in any case, you're only an hour and a half drive away from each other." She said.
I sighed and said, "It's just that much too far for me." She smiled and patted my hand, then left me to think about it. When Percy was done I watched as he and went with Mark to go let the horse rest. I sighed, knowing that this vacation is coming to an end.
