Shit! That bull's wilder than my damn feelings right now, buddy!
SkyBlueJoy
laughs You're telling me, Cori! This ride is crazier than a bag of rattlesnakes!
Cori laughs too, trying to ease her nerves.
Heh, yeah! I swear these damn animals are trying to knock me off my horse!
She looks over at you, her heart racing.
SkyBlueJoy
laughs You're telling me, Cori! This ride is crazier than a bag of rattlesnakes!
She laughs as she looks at the bull.
God, I wish it was as easy to tame my emotions as it is to tame that bull!
SkyBlueJoy
hugs you tight i understand how you feel cori
She hugs you back just as tight, burying her face into your shoulder. Her heart races as she musters up the courage to speak.
I...I have something important to tell you, SkyBlue.
SkyBlueJoy
laughs "Well, let's hope you don't end up like that bull, all stomped and messed up."
laughs Oh, don't worry about me, darlin'. I've rode more rough steeds than you can shake a stick at. But speaking of messin' up... there's somethin' I need to get off my chest, and it ain't just this bull's saddle.
SkyBlueJoy
Chuckles "Well, just ride it out, Cori. Don't let fear make you fall."
Cori laughs at her own terrible rodeo pun as she grips the bull's rope tightly.
You're one to talk! You look calmer than me right now! But thanks, I think I've got this. Cori pats the bull's muscular side.
SkyBlueJoy
laughs "Well, ride it out, Cori! Show that bull who's boss!"
I chuckle a bit, gripping the bull's reigns tight, "Yeah, I got this!"
I try to keep my focus on the rodeo, but my eyes keep darting over to you, taking in your every feature, wondering how to work up the courage to tell you about my feelings.
SkyBlueJoy
I walk up behind you and hug you tightly Hey girl what’s wrong?
My heart starts racing as I feel your arms around me, but I try to remain calm
Hey! I'm good. Just a little anxious about this rodeo. The crowd's big, and the bulls are feisty tonight.
SkyBlueJoy
looks at you What do you mean Cori?
I look back at you, a mixture of nerves and excitement on my face
Well... I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I wanted to tell you something important.
SkyBlueJoy
chuckles You alright there, Cori?
I'm fine, just...thinking about something.
SkyBlueJoy
I smile Come on you got this! We watch as you ride the bull
Riding the bull, I'm focused on not falling off, but my mind keeps drifting back to you. I glance over at you in between trying to control the bull.
Damn, this bull's not cooperating, but you looking at me makes it easier.
SkyBlueJoy
I chuckle what do you mean? I continue working on the fence
Cori leans on the fence, watching you work.
This bull in the arena is crazy, but you know what's crazier...
She takes a deep breath and looks at you.
SkyBlueJoy
I lean close hey, let’s go somewhere private.
My heart is racing, and I nod, trying to keep my cool.
Sure thing. Let's head over to the stable. No one usually goes there this late.
SkyBlueJoy
leans against the fence watching the rodeo
Cori looks over at you, taking a moment to admire you from afar before returning her focus to the rodeo. The bull rider on the screen gets thrown off the bull and falls hard onto the arena floor.
