Stolen Heart by Lilly W. (ebook reader with internet browser .txt) 📖

in all the places I’ve gone to. Good build, strong legs absolutely perfect. So get her ready to go and I’ll get you the money, my brother will help you put her in the trailer.” Wait, what? I look at my clothes. Ah, she thinks that I’m a stable girl.

 

“Come on.”

 

“Oh, sorry. I’m not a stable girl.” She raises her eyebrows and looks at my clothes. “Yeah I had nothing to change into after I was riding.”

 

“Then what are you doing here?” She looks upset and like she gets whatever she wants.

 

“I live in the house.”

 

“Oh, so you're a maid.” She frowned.

 

“No.” She brings her eyebrows together and looks at my clothes again. I take the chance to do the same with her. Rich. is the first impression.

 

“Oh, I knew you were too pretty for that.” She smiles at me. “Okay, but I still want this horse.” She points to star.

 

“Sorry, she’s not for sale.” She frowns

 

“Then why is she in here?” She is pissed.

 

“Because she’s mine.”

 

“Huh, how much?” She looks me in the eye.

 

“Not for sale.” I bring the water to star and open the pen to give it to her. I place it on the ground and shut the door again. I find her at my side. Both me and star jump.

 

 “I want this horse.” She glares at me. “I get what I want.”

 

“Too bad this is my horse and she will stay mine.” I glare back.

 

“I bet you can’t even control her. I want her to race. Not just for looks”

 

“You think that you could control her?” I raise an eyebrow. Really? Only if she knew.

 

“Yes, because I am a master horse trainer. Even though I’m 13.” Yup, I knew that she was young.

 

“I can control my own horse. Sorry, you can’t have her.” I look at Star and she’s looking at me.

 

” I get what I want” She practically growls it out.

 

“Nope, know if you don’t mind. I was going on a ride and I’m going to see it through, your highness.” I bow mockingly. She turned red. I open stars pen and grab her reins.

 

“What are you doing? Finally loading her up?”  she has a triumphant smile on her face.  I glare at her.

 

“No.” I hop on her back and go out of the barn. I see a truck and trailer. A shadow is leaning across it. He looks up and I see blue shining eyes, the kid from school.  Mr.Hunka. 

 

“Hey, Mad. I see you found a beauty.” He has a deep voice as he looks at Star and then at me. 

 

“Sorry, I was just going to go on a ride Didn't mean to intrude.” I smile as Mad’s face turned red.

 

“I want that horse!” She points to Star. “She said I can’t have it because it’s hers! I doubt she can even control it!”

 

“I am sorry, master horse trainer But this is my horse and you don’t always get what you want.” She turned red, and the guy laughs. “Good day you highness.” I bow in my seat. Causing  him to laugh even more.

 

“Don’t laugh with her, I want that horse!" She screams. 

 

I ride off to the trail that I saw earlier. He salutes and I do the same. After a good ride I go back and they're not there. I put Star away and go into the stupid room that me and Matt share. I change and crawl into the bed. I can still smell him on everything. I hear the door bang open and I know it’s him. I slam my eyes shut and shallow my breathing. Why? No, idea.

 

 I hear him go into the room, really loudly. He must have seen that I’m “asleep” because he started to walk slowly and quietly. I know he was looking at me and that made my skin crawl. He sighs and I hear him walkover to the bed sit at my feet. I feel his hand wipe my hair away from my face. It took everything in my body not to flinch from him. He sits there for a while. To the point where I actually start to go to sleep. My mind is spacing but I catch a couple words.

 

“I’m sorry.” then everything is gone with my mind.

 I wake up and see light streaming through the window. I yawn and look around, the first thing I notice is Matt lying in the bed. Ugh. I roll over put clothes on and go to feed Star. I make it to the stables and see the stable boy inching to Stars pen and Start looking at him baring her teeth. She spots me and whines.

 

“Well hi there.” I smile at star. The stable boy whips his head around to me.

 

“ I can’t go two feet from her and she tries to rip out my face. How in hell do you do it?” I looks at me.

 

“Well..uh…” I don’t know his name.

 

“Tommy.”

 

“Oh? Tommy, I grew with her and worked with her. She trusts me and I trust her.” I smile

 

“Yeah, I see that know. You gave her a nod and she about tore me to shreds and then you said and word and she walked over to you like a puppy dog.”

 

“Bout time you realize that she’s my horse.” I take the hay he was holding over to her.  Tommy laughs.

 

“Don’t you have school?”

 

“Yeah in half an hour.” I turn. “See you later. Careful she will bite off your fingers.”

 

He looks at her and shivers. I walk back to the house. When I go into the room I see Matt still lying there sleeping. I walk over and put one of his dirty socks on his face. When I get my clothes out and start to walk to the bathroom, I hear him gagging.

 

“Yuck, gross.” I laugh and walk into the bathroom. I take a shower change my clothes and brush my hair and teeth. I walk out and see that he has already changed and ready to go.

 

“It’s about time. I’ve been waiting for you, love.” He turned and hands me my bag.

 

“Why?” I take the bag.

 

“So we can go.” I look at him, he talks like it’s the most obvious thing in the world.

 

“Don’t wait for me. My truck is slow.” I walk to the door.

 

“There is no way a beast like that is slow. Guess I’ll find out soon.” He smiles at me.

 

“No you won’t. I like to ride by myself.”  

 

“Well, future wife of mine. Get used to it, you are stuck with me for the rest of my life.” I shiver.

 

“Yeah, good luck with that.” I go out of the house and to my truck. Matt following all the way.

 

“No. You are not riding with me, ever.” He sighs and goes to his own truck.   I hop in and drive to the school, not able to leave Matt in the dust. I really hate him. I don’t even know why. Maybe it’s the fact that we are being forced together. I get out of my truck lock it and head into the school. I find katy by my locker.

 

“Okay, what happened. It looks like you got hit by a bus.”

 

“I wish that’s what happened.”

 

“Matt won’t leave you alone?”

 

“Yup and what made it worse is our parents.” She raises her eyebrow and motioned for me to continue on.  “If I tell you, then you might tell everyone.”

 

“No I won’t. Girl scout code.” I smile.

 

“Well...uh.” Matt walked up and I stop talking.

 

“Am I interrupting?” He looks at us and Katy smiles.

 

“Yes, now leave.” I turn my back to him and he sighs as he leaves.

 

“Okay, that was that.”

 

I roll my eyes and get out my crap for my first class.

 

***

 

I make it to lunch and everything is good. I have my first with Matt. Then I have my 2nd and 4th with Mr.Hunka I sit outside with Katy, May and Morgan.

 

“You look depressed.” May starts the conversation. I’m glad that I have a few classes with them.

 

“To tell you the truth, I am.” I look at the cold turkey and chicken sandwich in front of me.

 

“Oh! You never told me what you were going to.” Yes, I never did. And I was really hoping that she would forget.

 

“That’s okay.” I shrug.

 

“No, it’s not.” Mogan starts to cough. We all look at her.

 

“Incoming” She whispers to us all. My head snaps up and I see Matt coming over.

 

“Crap” They all look at me. Then sit taller. He takes a seat next to me. I scoot over. And he scoots closer. I have had enough. I pick up my tray and sit by Katy. Matt frowned.

 

“What did I do?” He looks hurt, so be it.

 

“Everything.” I pick up my plate and go to dump it. It is still full of food, but I’m not hungry anymore. I walk to the dumping place, eyes still follow me. Not as much as yesterday, but still a lot. I pour the food into the trash and sit in front of my locker. Alone.

 

“Hi?”

 

Crap, I can’t be left alone for two seconds.

 

“What?” I look up to see Mr.Hunka coming down the hall.  

 

“Sorry. Just wanted to see if your ok. It looks like you're going to hit some body.”

 

“Yeah, that would be nice.” I look at him.

 

“You can hit me if you want.” He holds out his arm.

 

“You're not the one I want to hit.”

 

“Oh, you have somebody in mind?” I shrug as he sits next to me. “Is it the same person’s house you were at?”

 

“Yup.” I smile at the thought of slamming my fist in that stupid smug smile of his.

 

“By the way my sister hates you.”

 

“Yeah, I figured she would.”

 

“She even thought of all the ways she could break into the stable and steal your horse. When I first saw her I wanted to do the same.”

 

“Yeah, good luck. She would tear you apart.” I laugh realizing how close I am to him.

 

“I’m sure she will.” The weird thing is, there is no sarcasm in his voice, just understanding. I look over at him and see that he’s looking at me.

 

“By the way, why does she want a horse anyway.” I look at the locker in front of me to avoid getting lost in those amazing eyes.

 

“Who, Maddie?”

 

“I think so.”  

 

“Oh, she wants to be a master horse trainer so she’s on a hunt for the perfect one to be her companion, she also wants to be a racer.” I bust out laughing and then nod. 

 

“I have to go to the bathroom, see you later.” he nods and I get up and go to the bathroom. I didn’t really have to go, I wanted to get away. I feel weird around him. Like a bee hive was let loose in my belly If I say the wrong thing, there going to sting my insides. Why do I feel like this.

 

Do I like him? No, I don’t even know who he is. And then we have the whole Matt issue. I look in the mirror to see how I look. Stop! I have never done that in my life. There is something wrong with me.
