Lillyann Sanchez

Lillyann walked with Jace, her hand in his and walking beside him. Her eyes sorta lite up when she saw all the show horses. She found herself leading Jace by his hand into the stables. Walking down the isles til she heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Can I help you two?" The voice said making her jump.
"Oh ummm, well I was kinda wondering if y'all had a few horses that aren't in a show today?" she asked as the man took some tack off the table and went to a stall that said Sugar on it. When the man took her out he set the saddle blanket and the saddle onto the horse and turned around.
"I'm Jake." He said offering up his hand for a friendly shake, Lilly took his hand and shook it.
"Names Lillyann call me Lilly and this is..." she looked towards Jace hoping he'd finish her sentence with his name

Jace Soloman

He looked nervously at the Jake character, but shook his hand firmly.

"Jace."

He said. The 19 year old stared absently at the horses in the stables, looking back at Lilly.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly looked at Jake as he asked;

''Y'all here to ride?''
Lilly answered strait away. ''Yes''
Jake smiled as he finished tacking up Sugar.
''Wanna ride Sugar then?'' he asked. Lilly smiled and got up onto the saddle on Sugar, grasping the reins gently and making Sugar go forward walking by squeezing her sides. Jake turned to Jace.
''Do you wanna ride one of the horses?'' he asked. Looking at him. As long as he did ride Long Horn, Jake was fine. See Long Horn was recently put here because he had a long horn scar across his side which had made him bonkers and reckless and dangerous to ride. Any of the horses besides Long Horn or any of the mares with foals or colts he would be fine.

Jace

"Yeah."

He agreed, looking at a horse with a cut across his side. He shuddered and sympathy filled his eyes for the poor creature.

"Which one do you reccomend for me to ride?"

He asked Jake, curious of his opinion.

Lillyann Sanchez

Jake shrugged. ''It all depends on whether you want an easy ride or a stubborn ride. If you want an easy ride id recommend Snow over there if you want a stubborn ride Id recommend Inferno right there.''

Lilly waited at the entrance watching and listening to Jake and Jace. Smiling, she patted Sugar's neck and sat there waiting.

Jace

He pointed to Snow and nodded.

"I'm a little nervous around horses, so Snow, please."

He said politely.

Lillyann Sanchez

''Alrighty then.'' Jake said and went over and opened Snow's stall, the white mare let out a neigh when she heard the noise. Jake grabbed her reins and led her out of the stall, getting her tack and saddle he did the same as he did for Sugar. After he was done he held her still. ''Need a lift up or can you do it on your own?'' Jake asked.

Lilly smiled that Jace wanted to ride Snow. She liked the color of Snow the white Mare

Jace

"I got it."

He assured Jake, and went on top of her, clutching the reins as if his life depended on it.

Lillyann Sanchez

When Jake saw how he was clutching the reins he spoke up. ''Relax your grip. Snow wont do anything to harm you. Now when you want her to move forward, gently kick her side to make her walk. Squeeze you legs if you want her to run and do both to make her gallop. Same to you Lilly.'' he said. Lilly nodded and smiled at Jace. Seeing him on Snow she had to admit he looked really hot.

Jace

He nodded and loosened the reins a little, then gently kicked her side.

"Huh, this isn't so bad."

He said, then he looked at Lilly. Whoa, she looked beautiful on Sugar. Soon, he looked away, blushing.

Lillyann Sanchez

Snow walked forward til she was standing by Sugar. Lilly smiled at Jace and turned Sugar around, the white and black paint horse trotted out of the stables and Lilly kicked it up a notch making her run and jump over the fence. ''Come on Jace, its fun.'' she said smiling. She giggled a little moving out of the way of the fence at the begging of the fence in case he didnt want to jump over it she could open it.

Jace

He smiled and squeezed his legs against her, gently not to hurt her, so that she could run and jump over the fence behind Lilly.

"Whoa!"

He cried, laughing.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly laughed as Snow jumped over the fence when she ran. Lilly let Sugar graze for a moment before kicking her sides a little bit more then walking. Sugar trotted and Lilly turned her around, her eyes shininh with excitement and happiness.

Jace

He laughed and patted Snow gently. Then, he kicked her softly, making her trot. He bounced on top of her, keeping his balance.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly smiled and let Sugar stay the pace Snow was going. She didnt know what to say leaving them trotting in silence. Unless he broke the silence

Jace

He smiled and let her trot around, laughing a little.

"Have you been here before?"

He asked quietly.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly looked at him and shook her head.

''No but Veronica's sister has I think her name was Esme Cullen. She owns three show horses here.'' She said and focused her gaze back in front of her, her face unreadable.

Jace

"Oh. I haven't either. Horses make me a little uncomfortable."

He shrugged, looking at her. He wondered if Snow would stalk them again.

Lillyann Sanchez

''Well, how come?''

She said, looking back at him, meeting his gaze. She then looked around seeing a girl on a horse coming towards them.

Jace

"My dad hurt one and it got......"

He trailed off, letting her use the imagination, then saw the girl and didn't know if it was Snow or not.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly's eyes filled with sympathy and she turned Sugar around, stopping her. Esme was out riding Storm seeing two new people she didnt recognize she kicked Storm lightly and made her go into a trot.

''Well theres two new faces I havent see around the Valley before!'' she said and held out her hand to Lilly. ''Im Esme'' She said. Lilly's eyes lit up.
''Veronica's sister?'' she asked. Esme nodded.
''How do you know my sister?''
''Im Lillyann, her best friend.''
''Oh Lilly! Its been so long! How old are you now?''
''Eighteen today
''Well you sure are much bigger then the last time I saw you.''
''Yes, time has gone by.''
Esme looked to Jace. ''And you are?'' She asked looking at him, keeping Storm calm.

''Jake let us use his horses.''
''Yes, I was wondering why Sugar and Snow were out without Jake around. Hes been trying to get his sister to answer him but not much luck, im surprised he let you ride Snow, its his sister's horse and shes been sick but I guess shes better now''

Jace

He nodded at Esme.

"Jace."

He said, a little too tentative and nervous to shake her hand.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly backed up Sugar to be beside Jace.

''Esme it was nice to finally meet you, tell Veronica I hope her rehab goes smoothly with moving her legs again. Tell her Im sorry for helping so much.'' she said and squeezed her legs, making Sugar go off in a run and looked behind her calling to Jace.

''You coming Jace?!'' she asked. She let Sugar jump over the fence again, feeling tears starting to roll down her cheeks and she let them.

Jace

He nodded and kicked Snow gently in the side, letting Snow jump over the fence. He got off her and reached his arms out for Lilly.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly smiled and put her other leg over before kinda jumping into his arms. She kissed his cheek and took Sugar's reains, leading her back to the barn.

''Here you go Jake.'' she said.
''Oh thanks, I saw Esme head out y'alls way. What'd she want?''
''Nothing'' Lilly responded dryly. Turning around she waited at the stable entrance for Jace.

Jace

He smiled and embraced her, whispering something inaudible in her ear to comfort her. Then, he jogged over to Lilly.

"Now how will our exciting day go?"

He asked her cheerfully.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly smiled.

''Well I was wondering if youd like to get a house instead of staying in the apartment... its up to you though. We could always just go to the lake for a swim or something.''

She said, walking by him.

Jace

"Sounds good. Hey, I heard there was an abbandoned house, we can take that if it's cheap."

He suggested.

Lillyann Sanchez

Lilly nodded.

''Yeah. We could put our on little touch up on it if its not to much.''

Her eyes started to fill with excitement.

Jace

He nodded eagerly, squeezing her hand.

Lillyann Sanchez

She smiled suddenly wanting to hug him. She turned in front of him and hugged him, wrapping her arms around his neck, and pressing her face softly into his shoulder.

''Im so happy.'' she said softly.

Jace

He just awkwardly put his arm around her, nodding.

Lillyann Sanchez

''So where to now? The lake or to see the house?''

She asked looking at him.

Jace

He thought for a moment.

"The lake?"

He suggested, still blushing horribly.

Lillyann Sanchez

''Alright, lets go.''

She said, still holding his hand.
