P. E. R. A.

After I fixed supper they got cleaned up and I showed them their rooms. Kollin and Jesse were in the room next to mine and Nick was in the one across the hall from Kollin and Jesse.

I went into my room and closed the door with Archie, my Pitbull behind me. He got up onto my bed and laid down as I got clothes for a shower. I went into my bathroom and started my shower. I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower. The hot water felt relaxing as I washed my hair and body.

I turned the water off and got out. After I dried off I dressed in a baggy tee and sweats. Archie lifted his head when I stepped out. I walked over to my door and opened it. My dog jumped off my bed and followed me downstairs.

When they first met Archie they were unsure about him. Considering the dog follows me everywhere I go they had nothing to worry about. I let Archie outside and went into the kitchen.

I yawned before taking a drink of water. Archie scratched at the door and I let him in. I went up to my room and closed the door. My dog jumped up on the bed and laid at the foot. I got up on my bed and took my sweats off before crawling under the covers.

Jesse's POV
"Dad. She's an awesome girl." I said as I laid on the bed. "Are you sure?" "You know how she is. She's smart, kind, fun. Does what she loves." I ended my small rant.

"You must really like her than. I remember when she got you on a horse that wasn't even your own." He told me as he sat on the bed. "Yeah. That helped when you needed help training horses." I told him as I stared at the ceiling.

Dad went to sleep and I was still wide awake. A bang on the wall made me jump. I quietly got out of bed and slipped out of the room. I walked over to her door and opened it slowly. She was tossing and turning as she slept.

I slipped into her room and closed the door behind me. Her dog gave a low growl from where he was laying. I shushed it and it became quiet. She continued to toss and turn as I got onto the bed with her. Once she was still for a moment I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her towards me. Instantly she stilled and calmed.

She rolled over and buried her head in my chest and sighed. I rolled onto my back and pulled her onto my chest.

Bailey's POV
I woke up sometime during the night and was on something hard and warm. I looked up and there was Jesse sleeping with me mostly on top of him. He looked so cute while he was sleeping.

I looked at my clock just as it went off. I groaned and couldn't reach snooze because Jesse was blocking the way. He reached over and unplugged the clock. I laid my head back down and wanted more sleep. His arms wrapped around me pulling me closer to his chest.

I snuggled into his embrace and fell asleep. Knocking came to my door and Archie barked. Jesse was still there when I woke up again. I got out of bed and pulled on my sweats. I opened the door and no one was there.

I shrugged it off and went downstairs to start breakfast. Bacon came to my nose. Archie went a head of me. I quickly followed him. Kollin was at the stove fixing breakfast. He looked behind him. "Hope you don't mind." He said to me.

"Not at all. Help yourself." I told him. He continued to make breakfast as I went back up to my room. I opened the door to find an empty bed. I went over to my dresser and got out a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. Then I pulled out a pair of socks. My bathroom door opened and Jesse came out.

"How did you sleep last night?" He asked. 'Better than most night.' I thought. "Good." "That's good to hear." He said hugging me. I returned the hug and he left to go get dressed.

Once I was dressed I put a jacket around my waist and went downstairs. Kollin had finished breakfast and had it on plates. I got one and thanked him. "No problem." He told me.

My phone rang from my room. "Archie fetch." I told my dog. He ran up the stairs and seconds later returned with my phone. It was a missed call from Blake. A voicemail was left. I unlocked my phone to listen to it.
"Hey Bailey. Hope you had a good night sleep because I thought we could do an all nighter tonight if you don't mind. I know your awake so you better call me back in the next thirty seconds."

I had to call him back so I stepped out onto the front porch in my socks and called him back. "Knew you'd call. Why did you miss the first?"
"Left it in my room after I went downstairs."
"Well I hope you don't mind me coming over around nine."
I looked at the time. It was eight fifty five. "See ya in a bit baby." He said before hanging up.

I grabbed my boots and put them on. Then I ran to the barn and started letting the horses out to their paddocks. I started changing their water when Blake pulled up in his sports car.

I continued until he called my name. "Thought you'd already be done with horse care." He said. "Nope I still need to muck stalls out." I told him. "You know how my morning is." I added. "Yeah you need to have fun."

"Can't I've got twenty four stalls to clean. Plus bulls I need to go out and check all before noon." I told him as I got the pitchfork and wheelbarrow. "I don't care we need to spend time together before you leave." He told me.

"My afternoons are free unless I'm practicing." I told him. "And my evenings are free." I added. He glared at me while I cleaned out the first stall. "Then you and I are going to have fun tonight." He told me. Then I remembered that they were having a calf roping tonight.

"Tonight?" I asked. "Yes tonight." He replied. I saw Jesse walking out to the barn. "I've got a tie down tonight." I told him. "Miss it." "I can't miss it." "Well tonight your going to have to."

"Sounds like you being non supportive." I told him. "And you promised to be supportive of my career." "I don't care about that anymore. A girl like you shouldn't be roping with a bunch of men and boys if you asked me."
