June 30, Cody, WY
"Colt no!" I yelled as he ran with me over his bare shoulder. "Never again will I do it." I testified. "I knew you were trouble when I first saw you." He sang to the tune of Trouble by Taylor Swift. "Oh, come on."
Next thing I knew, I was soaking wet. "Colt Ethan Ray," I shouted as I climbed out of the water trough. He took off running with me hot on his heels. "Maybe you shouldn't have done that." He yelled back. Once I was close enough, I jumped onto his back.
"Next time, when I yell your full name, it should be a lesson to you to never run away from me." "Then maybe you shouldn't turn the hot water off next time I'm taking a shower." He said as I rode him piggyback to the trailer.
"Yeah, and the water tank needed to be cleaned. Before you took a shower." I told him. "Ooo, I don't remember that." I smacked him upside the head. "Oh, what was that for?" "For you to remember." "You're still trouble. How many days until your nineteenth birthday?" "Not counting today, four."
Once we got back to the trailer, he dumped me on the couch. "Might as well get ready for tonight."

"Hey, guess what, guess what, guess what," I said, jumping up and down. "What?" Colt asked for the twelfth time today sleepily. Yeah, I'm annoying him. I kissed his cheek before starting a cup of coffee. "What?" He asked again. I was still bouncing around. "Jee maybe you should get your butt out of bed. It's eleven o'clock in the morning." I said, putting my jeans on.
Once I was done getting dressed, I got onto the bed and started jumping on it. "Let me sleep." He growled. "Nope." Finally, he got his pillow and hit my legs with it. "Then go disturb Mikey. Cause I want to sleep. You kept me up till four this morning."
I continued to jump. "Hedli." He growled some more. I giggled. He looked at me before putting his pillow over his head. Then his phone went off. He continued to growl.
I picked up his phone. "It's someone name Jasmine." "What?" He finally got up and snatched the phone out of my hand. "Just joking, it was an unknown number." Oh, I'm evil. He grabbed me and dragged me back into bed.
"Now I'm tired and you are not going to do anything bout it." "I made you coffee." He quickly released me and got the coffee mug. "I tried to tell you, but you didn't care to get up."
Once he was done with that cup, he went back to bed. Time to get the air horn. I went out and marched over to Mikey's rig. "Hey girl, what ya need?" "Can I borrow your air horn?" He got it out of his truck and handed it to me. "Why ya need it?" "I kinda kept Colt up till four this morning?"
"Oh my gosh, he's going to kill you, girl." "But he doesn't leave the quarters without pants on." "Let me guess, you're going to hide his jeans and hope that he forgets his pants." "Hopefully, I can get a video of that." "I'm in."
We made our way back to my trailer. I showed Mikey where to hide and went back in, ready for my plan. He was dead out, snoring. I gathered up his jeans and put them in the hiding space under the couch. Oh, he's going to be ticked, but it's so fun.
I got a piece of duct tape and put it over the button. "Hedli!" He yelled once it started going off. I ran out like a madwoman and hid. "Hedli May." He shouted. I was trying so hard not to laugh. "Hedli." I turned my head to see Mikey trying to do the same as me.
Quietly, I followed him to Nathan's rig. He knocked on the door before Nathan appeared. "What's up?" "Check out what this little girl did." Mikey played the video of me running out after the air horn went off. He was in his briefs with his boots on.
"Oo send it to me," I said. "But not right now." "Dang he's going to be pissed girl." "Well, he didn't have to stay up that late with me. I would've fallen asleep if he didn't encourage me to stay up that late."
We were silent for a little while before I said. "I might need to see if he's cool." I left and went back to the trailer. I opened the door to find him on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I closed the door and took my boots off.
I crawled into bed next to him and lay my head on his chest. "Do you hate me?" I quickly raised my head. "Why would you think that?" "Because you keep pranking and tricking me." "Babe, I'm bored. When I don't have anything to do, I become mischievous." "Still, why me?" "Ok, how bout we prank Mikey next? Nothing to you."
He pulled me onto him. "Ok, then where's my jeans?" "Under the couch." He looked at me curiously before I got up to show him what I meant. I grabbed the first pair and threw them at him.
"Mm, not yet." Uh oh, another punishment. "I still have to shower, and I want you to come with me." He said as he got off the bed, slowly walked over to me, and put his arms around me. Oh, hoh yup I'm in trouble.
He picked me up and took my shirt off. I got my jeans off. He unclasped my bra and took my underwear off. His were already off before he even started to undress me. He trailed kisses down my neck to my breast. I could feel his erection against my area. "Not now." He said in between kisses.
I started to kiss his neck while the water ran over us. He pressed me against the wall and let his hands travel. I felt them cup my butt before one made its way between my legs.
"I wouldn't, Cupcake." He said huskily. "Try me," I said as I kissed his jawline. His muscles contracted, and it hardened. "Don't or else you're going to be having a baby from me."
"I would keep it," I told him. "I don't care your career is what's best now." "Why?" He brought his head back to my face. "Because it would give you the extra freedom until this year's circuit is done in December." Never has he spoken to me with more concern than now.
He let me get out so he could finish his shower. Once I was dry, I wrapped a towel around my body and walked out. I got a pair of underwear and a rainbow bra. I put them on as Colt came out butt naked.
He picked the towel up and started to dry his hair. I rolled my eyes. "What? You've seen this before." "Just put some underwear on." He chuckled before doing so. "Just wait a few more months, Cupcake."
I had my jeans and boots on and was now putting on a navy blue tank top. His arms wrapped around me. "Next time, don't keep me up." He said, yawning. "If you had fallen asleep, I would have too." "Doubt it."
Once I had put on my shirt, I went outside to groom my horse. I tied her up and got a brush. Running it over her coat roughly, I got most of the dirt off. Then I got the hair brush and brushed her mane and tail out.
Colt came out as I was grooming Jet. I just got to his hooves when Colt took over. So I put his bridle on. I already put Reno's on her and had her tied up. "Why don't you put the saddles on?" "Because I'm not risking you getting kicked."
I put my saddle on Jet as Colt switched hooves. As Colt passed Reno, she nipped his rear. "What the?" "Hey, Jet likes doing it to me." Just as I said it he did it. "Great, just broke him of that habit."
I tightened the cinch on the girth and checked the leg wraps. Once I was done, I untied him and took him to warm up. Once at the ring, I mounted and got him ready. When I thought he was loose enough, I tried to run the barrels. First, I went through at a canter, then at a gallop. Great ready.
I let Jet drink while several other girls warmed up. "Don't worry, bud, you'll get to strut your stuff out there tonight." Just like every night.

The chute opened, I was too busy holding on and the thrill to care about my time. Hearing the buzzer was the only thing that stopped me. I got my hand loose and was somehow thrown over his head.
The railing stopped me short of being thrown into people. I climbed over and quickly walked through the crowd of cowboys. First tonight for broncs, not the best thing. Colt was about to ride as I passed the main chutes. I jogged to the side just in time to see him ride.

Colt's P.O.V.
I woke up about thirty minutes before Hedli even stirred. Today is her birthday, and I wanted to surprise her with breakfast, then a movie while Izzy, Miranda, Mikey, and Nathan got the rest of the day planned. At two o'clock, the rodeo for today started and ended with fireworks.
I silently got the truck keys and slipped out into the early morning. The sun wasn't up yet, so no one should be up yet. I went to McDonald's and got her breakfast. Once I got back, I put it on a proper plate and stuck a candle in it.
I then went over to her and kissed her cheek. She softly moaned. That caused me to trail kisses down her neck. Once she opened her eyes, I whispered into her ear. "Happy birthday, Cupcake." I quickly pulled back and lit the candle.
She sat up as I started to sing her happy birthday. Once I was done singing, I said. "Make a wish." She blew the candle out, and I put it in the sink. I handed her a fork and let her eat. "So I know you have something planned, Mr. Ray." "Only a movie, Cupcake, and anywhere you want to go before one-thirty."
"Ok. Sounds good with me." After she finished eating, she showered and got dressed. I waited for her outside the trailer. She came out in jean shorts and a cute tank top that said. My boyfriend will hurt you. I quickly opened the passenger door for her and helped her in. I caught a glimpse of the back. He's a tough cowboy.
I ran around and got in. When we got there, I helped her out and put my hand in hers. "Which movie, Cupcake?" "Captain America: Civil War." Wow, a Marvel girl is nice. I paid for our tickets and got us a drink along with popcorn and candy.
We took our seats close to the back. I put my arm around her as the movie started. Never in my life have I gone on a movie date to watch a Marvel movie with a girl I was dating. If so, she left after the first five minutes.
Hedli's head rested on my shoulder as the movie went on. One of the battle scenes came up. Never once did she flinch.
