Once at the table it smelled lovely and I sat down next to Millie, who enjoyed being home for a week.

And today I had promised her a ride, because she wanted to take the little Mal with me, but she was not allowed to ride alone with him, and well, she was not allowed to lead him while she was riding, which is why I would have to ride my mare Maria again today.

After we had eaten, we straightened our horses, before we had changed. I've always actually ridden bareback, that's a difference between Millie and me. While I was riding free and just preferred to sweep through the forest as fast as possible, she tried to be as tidy as possible and was able to take part in dressage tournaments. But Mom also trains them very hard and often.

With the shorts and light top on, I finally sit on Maria and lead Chandler by the rope. Millie rode out in front because she knew the route better than I did, and I haven't ridden it in years.

Since we lived rather outside of the small town, we had great dirt roads, the little one was also relatively relaxed and walked comfortably next to his mother. Nobody would have thought that it would be so easy.

"Lili, I wanted to talk to you about something" said Millie out of nowhere and rode next to me.You could tell that she has become extremely mature in the last year. Outwardly she has developed extremely, and so has her manner. She has not calmed down, I don't mean it, she is very adult for her age.

"Yes, go ahead," I said. "Well, you're with Niall, and well, I've found my Niall too, well even though it's not a Niall," she told me shyly. What did she mean.

I looked at her confused. "You have a boyfriend," I hacked. She shook her head.
"A friend" I chopped up.

She only concentrated on her horse and nodded her head slightly.

"Millie That's nice, Mom and you already know" I asked her enthusiastically. I was so happy that she could come out. That was a kind of confession of trust.

"No, you are the first" she smiled at my reaction.

"I'm so happy for you, what's your name since you've been in a class" I asked further.

"Her name is Amy, she is one step above me and we met through the project week. Tonight we want to go somewhere with James and Charles "she told me everything enthusiastically.

"Where do you want to go?"

"At James and Charles, movie night, everything is cleared up with mom," she grinned.

James and Charles are twins, and our neighbors. The two are really cute and different from the others in their class. Most were brand-obsessed little playboys.
"Okay, then have fun and good luck you two" I smiled proudly.

When we got home, a black car was parked in front of our house. Funny.

How quickly tended the three horses and went into the house. It was unusually loud here.

"Niall you fool" hissed a familiar voice.
"Don't worry, the stain will come out," my mother said afterwards, lovingly.

"When will Lili finally come" my friend wailed, which made me laugh.

Already at Margarete's party the boys got along well with my parents and now it was no different.

"Hi, what are you doing here" I greeted the four.
"Surprise you" laughed Niall and gave me a long hug. Since my parents, the boys and Millie were in the room, he only gave me a kiss on the forehead.

"Surprise succeeded" I laughed.

I gave the others a quick hug before my mother pulled everyone into the garden.

"What are you going to do?" I grinned at Niall because only we were left here.

,,Let yourself be surprised"
