No Title - Part 1

This is a drama/romance story. It isn't real. I got the idea from a counselor/friend from a camp.
**************************

I loved him... He loved me. One problem, he could care less about horses. I tried and tried, but all he wanted was ME. I thought it was sweet, but when it came to work I had to tell him no.

He hated being turned down for just a stupid job around horses. So he starts some drama by trying to "help." He always came to visit, but I couldn't have him around. My boss would fire me.

Finally one day I had enough. I wasn't working, it was my day off, but I was still hanging around horses. He came to see me and I said, "WE HAVE TO TALK." I brought him around and we sat down. This is how it went:

ME: Todd, I don't think it is best if you keep coming around here when I am working. Even when I am not.

Todd: Why?

ME: Well, for one I could get fired. You know those presents I buy you, and the dinners, and the movies, and the...

Todd: You think you pay for everything or something!

ME: No, but...

Todd: Whatever! I don't want to hear your excuses! You want us to be through? Well be happy because we are!

Me: What are you saying Todd?

Todd: Sorry... I thought I made it pretty clear. YOU and ME? WE'RE DONE!

No Title - Part 2

Hey guys, sorry I still can't think of a title, help me out?
****************************

As he started walking away I did the only thing I could think of doing. I cried.

ME: Todd.please...

Todd: Please won't work it has been said and done we are through!

I couldn't believe it. I did the next best thing on my list. I ran to my horse laid under him and wept. My horse knew something happened and tried to comfort me. I knew what I had to do...RIDE. Riding was my ONLY source of happiness at the point. Horses always came first.

After about 3 hours of riding. I went home. There was nothing I could do now, but get over it.
************************

Comment if you want me to write a third, but that could be the end. Oh yeah this is totally fake!

No Title/ Red - Part 3

Thanks for the names from part 2.
**********************

The next day I went back to the barn. I had to keep working, I couldn't quit on Mrs. Amelia because of some stupid boy. Man, Grace was right: horses are better than men! Oh well!

"Alright, let's see everyone is fed. OK, so I need to start exercising. UGH. Where is the note on who I need to ride?" I looked around puzzled. "Maybe the office... Ah, there it is. Wow that is a lot of... What the? This isn't horses it's a letter from Mrs.Amelia.."

It says:

Dear Taylor,

I saw what happened with you and Todd yesterday. I am completely sorry. I hope you get over it. Well last night Todd came to me and told me everything. He said to tell you to meet ME at the open field. You know the one with the lake. I knew I couldn't lie to you so just act like you thought it was me. OK? I think he is sorry about everything that happened yesterday. I think he wants to get back together. I know you and I both know he shouldn't be around. I mean he is crazy and wild, but between you and me I think y'all are cute together. He can stay if he promises not to bug you when riding. It's very dangerous Taylor. Even without him you need to be careful, horses are big animals. I hope everything works out. Oh! here is the list of horses you need to exercise:

*Red
*Jake(be careful if he gets hurt ugh!)
*Moonshine (Madison said you can)
*Ride Edwin bareback
*Taco
*Rio

Be careful when riding them and get help putting on the saddles. I think James is around here somewhere.

Luv bunches,
Amelia


"Wow that was long, well I guess I better go meet Todd can't keep the prince waiting."
*************************************

Sorry about the grammar in the last 2, I hope you enjoy this one and keep a look out for number 4! Oh she needs help with the saddles because she is recovering.. Taco hit her in the side.

The only 2 names that aren't people I know are Grace and Mrs. Amelia--Grace is like a friend and Mrs. Amelia is supposed to be Mrs. Kelly. This is somewhat with Taylor but basically made up.

No Title/ Red - Part 4

Hey guys the next time is will just be red so look for red part 5 (if there is one)
**********************

When I got to the paddock, Todd had two horses. Jake and Rio tacked up and everything. When I started walking closer, he popped out from behind Rio with a rose, chocolates and a note. He handed them to me without a word. I smelled the rose--real. I ate a chocolate--expensive. I read the note it says:

Dear Taylor,

I'm sorry about yesterday. I overreacted. I am truly sorry with all my heart. You are right, you do buy basically everything. I love you and you know it. Please forgive me. If so let's go ride. I want to see how it feels.

Love,
The terribly sorry Todd

I looked up, he put his hands on my shoulder and said "Look into my eyes." When I did I saw BIG, brown eyes that said "I am truly sorry." I knew he was sorry. I forgave him. Then I realized the saddles were on backwards! I fixed them and helped him up (not what I would have pictured, but he doesn't know how to ride) told him how to stop and go then we were off.

We rode into the fields. When we got there he got off his horse--by himself, impressive--got down on his knee and said "Taylor, you are the love of my life, my passion and my joy. I spend so much time with you because you and only you are the only thing that makes me happy. Please take this ring and wear it proud as a sign of love."

I didn't know what to say or do. So I got down off my horse and onto his knee. I said "Todd,I take this ring and I will wear it proud as a sign of love. Oh yeah and Mrs. Amelia said you could stay around if you promise to be quiet when I am riding."

"I promise to be quiet when you are riding!"

We sat like that for hours talking. Then I realized I had horses to exercise. I told him my dilemma and he understood! "That is a first," I thought.

I think life is going to be a lot better now that he understands.
*******************

Thanks guys for all the nice comments. This is my last one so don't look for a 5th. I will try to write a new series. Any ideas, suggestions?

Oh and also I asked Sydney if maybe we could have a chat page where we get immediate responses! But if they have to shut down the site for it I might die. So might my parents, because I get super cranky, annoyed and tired of life when I don't get to come on here!

Red - Part 5

Hey guys totally sorry it took so long but i didn't know what to write then I lost my computer because I was supposed to get STRAIGHT As to go to this camp and I got all Bs and one C so i lost computer and tv and I was pretty much grounded! Anyway its Valentine's Day now in the story so here we go!!
**********************************************

When I woke up I started getting dressed as if it was a regular work day, I mean it was a weekday! The fact was it wasn't a regular weekday, it was VALENTINES DAY and Todd and I were going on a date! I completely forgot!! I called Ms. Amelia and this is how it went:

"Ms.Amelia, with Franklin Farms, how can I help?"
"Ms.Amelia? It's Taylor. I can't come to work today Todd and I are going on a date."
"Why!? Just pick ANY random weekday?!"
"No, it's Valentines Day."
"Oh! It is? I am terribly sorry I lost track of the days!
"Okay well I guess if you have to go on a date you can go, but I want you here bright and early, tomorrow morning!"
"YES MA'AM!" I laughed and hung up.

I went and took a shower and when I got out started to rummage through my closet in search of the perfect dress. *gasp* I had found the perfect one, and it was PERFECT for my personality, I mean love of horses. It was a short above knee length dress, all brown, with white ribbon around the middle acting like a belt.

I loved it, I could wear my fancy boots and bring a little wallet carrier thing. What are they called uhhh purse holder, OH WELL! I study to ride not to shop!!!

At that exact moment my cell rang. It was Todd?? What did he want? I answered the phone and the conversation went like this:

"Hello? Todd?"
"Hi Taylor." he said glumly.
"Todd you sound sad. What's wrong?"
"Taylor, I can't go on the date."
"Why not, I just found the perfect dress and I-"
"Taylor," he said cutting me off, before I went to what was extreme panic mode" it's fine, we can hang tomorrow and act like its Valentines Day, I just can't today. Can you understand that?
"Yea, but-"
"Good, I gotta run, bye!"
"Bye, I love-"

And then I heard: "I'm sorry if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again." in that annoying voice recorder tone.

I looked at the screen confused, and that gave me the answer: Todd hung up on me.

Why was he being so rushy and not wanting to talk to me? Oh well I will have plenty of time to think about that as I get dressed for, not Valentines day, but WORK!

Red - Part 6

(Louisiana)

When I got to the barn, Ms. Amelia was nowhere to be found. This day just gets more confusing by the second!I called her:

"Ms. Amelia?"
"Taylor? Is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. Why aren't you in the barn?"
"Taylor, why does it matter where I am? And why would you know where I am?"
"Todd, cancelled." I replied glumly.
"AWWW! Taylor. Come up to the hang out area, where we can talk."
"I would rather work. Keep my mind busy."
"C'mon, just for a minute."
"OK, you are my boss."
"That's my girl."

When I arrived, I couldn't see any lights on inside. Confusing meter up by 5! I saw movement so she was definitely inside. 2 body movements, in different areas of the room, going opposite directions? I opened the door, turned on the lights and then...

"Surprise!" came out of 2 voices, who turned out to be Ms.Amelia and TODD!
"Wh- H- BU-" I was speechless.
"Surprise sweetie. Happy V-day."
"WHY? You lied. WHY?"

I didn't understand why I was mad, but I was. I mean he could of ditched me for friends, or worse another girl. So exactly why was i mad?

"You look angry, why? Sweetie, I surprised you. You said you loved surprises. Why are you mad?"

I wanted to reply but I couldn't, because I didn't know the answer. Ao I turned around and ran out the door.

Red - Part 7

I didn't stop running. I ran all the way to the pasture that held Red. Usually he wouldn't let me get on his back bareback without a mounting block, but he seemed to know I was sad. So he stood there and even lowered a bit when my attempt to jump on failed. I loved him more than anything. After lowering his back I finally jumped on.

I heard Todd yelling to me to get off. Wow a first he actually knew it was dangerous because of the other horses. I didn't care. I barely tapped Red and he started galloping, me kind of hanging on for life, because of no saddle or bridle. I didn't care, I was living it. I was also escaping from Todd. I heard hoof beats and figured it was another horse. When I did turn around it turned out to be Ms. Amelia running bareback on a horse.

"Taylor, stop the horse. Or you're fired!!!"

I really needed the job so I stopped him and still feeling sorry for me he listened when I screamed whoa.

"Taylor ride him back to the gate and get off, now."

I did as she said and when I got off, the look in Todd's eyes told me he was confused and worried all at once. I was immediately mad at myself.

Then I saw Ms. Amelia and the anger changed to nervousness.

"Taylor, you have the day off to sort things out, Todd is worried and confused at the same time. I want you in my office first thing in the morning. As for your job, it's quite unclear if you will have one for your actions today. I will see you tomorrow."

I stared after her and then turned Todd.

"We need to talk." He said.

Red - Part 8

Todd: We need to talk.

Taylor: I don't have time.

Todd: But Ms. Amelia said you had the day off.

Taylor: Yeah, but she also said "be here bright and early, as for your job, I don't know if you will have one." So I need to do as much as possible as a surprise so I keep this job.

Todd: If I talk to her you can probably keep it.

Taylor: I can't do this right now I have to go.

As I ran off I could hear footsteps, running, towards me. It was Todd and he caught up and grabbed my arm.

Taylor: What?

Todd: Please just talk?

Taylor: Fine you have 5 minutes. Begin.

Todd: Can we go somewhere private?

Taylor: Exactly where would that be?

Todd: Follow me.

With an aggravated sigh I followed him, he led me to the back of the barn. I didn't want to be there. It reminded me of our old fight, then everything was perfect. AND now.

Todd: Why did you get mad, you told me you loved surprises?

Taylor: I don't know.

Todd: Yes you do, I can tell by your face.

Taylor: OK. I wanted everything to be perfect and me to be pretty and look wonderful and it to be the best Valentine's Day EVER. Since you surprised me at work, I had ugly work clothes on and I wasn't perfect looking and I still was a little mad because you cancelled- ON VALENTINES DAY. That's the truth.

Todd: I can tell. Honestly you're beautiful whenever and wherever. So I didn't think it would matter. I am so sorry that I made you mad, I just wanted it to be a surprise and I figured you would be happy that I didn't want to hang with friends, but it went opposite.

Taylor: I am sorry for getting mad and I love you, but you EVER do that again, well nothing.

Laughing I went for a hug, but he pulled away. I was confused all over again. Then he pointed forward and I leaned in to him loving the view. Edwin my horse, and LuLu a lesson horse were also in love, muzzle to muzzle. That was when Todd turned to me and put his "muzzle" to my "muzzle" and I loved every second. It had been a while and things were finally started to feel right again.

Comment for part 10, I guess. This could be the end but I think you guys want to hear if she keeps her job? Am I right?

Red - Part 9

by Jakiebabe
(Louisiana)

I walked to Ms.Amelia's office, I couldn't help but feel happy. I mean I know I could lose my job, but I had the time of my life with that gallop, and Todd and I are PERFECT right now. I really need it so I just thought about work. When I arrived in her office she was on the phone, so I waited outside her office. When she hung up I took a deep breath and waited for her to call me...

Ms. Amelia: Come in, please. Please sit down - is all she said to me when I walked in. Taylor, from yesterday's actions do you have anything to say for yourself?

Taylor: Yes, and thank you for allowing me to. I am sorry for running off, but I don't believe I did anything wrong there. I believe I went wrong when I rode bareback on Red in the pasture, and not only did I ride him, but I galloped. I understand I did wrong, but I am not sorry for that, I am sorry for scaring you and making you jump on bareback, but I am not sorry for my actions, because it was amazing. I really need this job, but I refuse to lie. I am NOT sorry for the ride, I am sorry for making you worry and making you jump on bareback.

Ms. Amelia: I think you are right, partly. You didn't do anything wrong when you ran off. your mistake is when you jumped on a bareback, in a pasture full of horses.I believe your wrong, though, when you say your not sorry for your ride. i can't make you sorry, but you should be.I am VERY unsure for if you will have a job yet, but it's Friday, so get to work, and I will call in later to talk about my decision.

As I left the room all I could think about was doing my best at work today. I shouldn't have said what i did, because I could have kept my job! So I went to look for something to do, but Ms. Amelia ALWAYS told me. Do I call her? OK I will.

Taylor: Ms. Amelia? What do you want me to do today?

Ms: Oh! there will be a list on the barn door.
Taylor: OK.

So, I walked forward. I got to the barn and there it was. The note, it said:

Exercise as many horses as possible
Muck out all stalls
trail riders at 3. 4 of them
groom the horses
check on the pregnant mamma's
feed at feeding time

Thanks!

That was it. I had a lot to do, so let's get busy. I made a list of who I would exercise first, the stalls I would muck, the horses I would use for the trail, the horses I would groom in order, and I already had a feeding schedule.

So I got started exercised and after the whole morning I was done, well exercising. I ate lunch and was walking to the barn when I heard:

"TAAAYYYLLLOOORRR!"

I turned around to see Todd standing next to Ms. Amelia. So Is tarted walking toward them. When I got there...

Ms.Amelia: Taylor, can I see you in my office, please?

Taylor: Yes, I said looking at Todd confused.

When we were in office this is how it went:

Ms: Amelia: Taylor, I have thought long and hard and my decision is...

by Jakiebabe
(Louisiana)

Ms. Amelia:...decision is your job willremain the same.

Taylor: YES! Thank You. You WILL NOT regret it!

Ms.Amelia: BUT you will work hard and be a 2nd owner. You will get here at 6 and work till school. You will come after school and work til 7. You would work until 10, but school comes first. Do you understand this? You will groom all unridden horses and muck out the stalls. On the weekend, you have the option for Sunday to be an off day and I will allow you to get here at 8 and work til 7. your list will be the same , basically. Take this paper i wrote basically your schedule, let's review it:

Groom ALL unridden horses
Muck all stalls
Excercise unridden horses
Trail Riders
Extra Handy Man
Extra Maid
Kennel Helper
Feeder- Morning and Afternoon
AND anything else I need

Ms.Amelia: This is a very long and complicated list, but tend to it that it is done. I am giving our groom and mucker the month off. You will play his part. You will be a part time handy man,maid, and kennel worker. You must follow verbal instructions to. I hope you can handle this and your paycheck is the same for this month, after this month if you would like to keep this same schedule up your paycheck can go up. I know we had a strong relationship before, but for this month you are worker and worker only and ALL rules apply, so NO Todd and Taylor time. DO you understand me?

Taylor: Yes, Ma'm and I will get working as soon as I leave.

Ms.Amelia: OK. Goodbye. You are dismissed.

*********************************************
I am done with this series.... I will write a new series with Taylor and Todd or different people. IT will be about a horse running off.
