It's been 2 weeks since I met and last saw Amelia but that girl loved rent free in my mind. I had followed her account the day same day I asked her out and we had exchanged numbers and had been texting and trying to pick a day for our date. Not successful tho. Today Flo would have the event day at her stable and I offered to come as she needed someone to help and drive her there. She had loaded Connor in the mini truck and I drove us to the address that was stood in the navigation. When we arrived at the big luxurious barn there were already multiple trucks standing and people getting their horses out of the truck and trailers. I saw the brunette girl standing on the parking lot pointing to something and telling someone a few words with it. The person nodded to her before she waved at us. I rolled my window down as she climbed up the door hanging in with her arms and head.

Amelia: "hey! Nice to see you guys again! I've got a free spot over there. You can look if it's big enough and if it's not I've got another one but I'll show you to it then."

Lando: "okay thank you."

She jumped down again and walked towards the stables. She disappeared around the corner while I parked the truck. Flo placed the brown gelding in the assigned paddock that had water and hay. We walked to the barn where everybody was standing around something. Amelia was tacking up a chestnut colored horse.

Amelia: "This handsome boy here is Quince. He's a 6 year old Dutch warmblood. And a gelding. So for the fun and helpful exercise demonstration I'm gonna use him as he has done all of them already. Special about this boy is that I broke him myself. He came in as a 3 year old. He's almost 7 so I've rode him all his career."

?: "are we doing those exercises today?"

Amelia: "some of them as warming up."

She pulled her stirrups down before easily mounting the horse in a swift move. The horse in brown tack staid still perfectly and patient while she adjusted the stirrups. She wore her coat that was zipped open a little revealing a thin light grey sweater with a pair of dark blue riding breeches, brown riding boots, brown helmet, brown gloves and a brown leather belt to keep her trousers nicer in place. She let Quince walk to the arena where multiple jumps and exercises were standing. Everybody stood leaning against the side of the arena. Listening with full attention and focus. Amelia had a microphone clipped to her sweater and had placed a small box that was connected to the microphone where we were standing.

Amelia: "so I'm gonna give you the small warning that I speak German when I ride as I lived in Germany when I got my first horse and started riding. It's more counting strides and rewarding and stuff."

She started riding her exercises and form time to time you heard her go 'eins zwei drei vier fünf abschalten' which is just 'one two three four five and up' she started doing some of the higher jumps and was now riding some rounds that she made higher and higher. She started a round of 165 now which was the last round before cooling down.

When she was done she went to the grooming place while everybody went to the canteen to get a drink. I didn't tho. I walked to the grooming place to find Amelia. I stood against the wall as she turned her head to me with a smile.

Amelia: "hai."

Lando: "hey."

Amelia: "not thirsty?"

Lando: "not really no."

A soft giggle left her mouth as she lifted the saddle, girth and saddle of off the back of the chestnut horse gently. She hung up on one of the poles where she grabbed the blanket that hung next to it off. She easily threw it over his back and made sure it was secured nicely before giving the horse a few treats and then place him back in his stable.

Amelia: "I kind of need a little favor from you."

Lando: "what is it?"

Amelia: "well the son of the owner of this stables... Eric. He won't leave me alone so I wanted to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend when he's around. Just make it look realistic. I don't know just do what you would usually do. Hug, kiss, annoy me... just do something."

I leaned down and connected my lips with hers. Her lips were soft and a little cold. She was a little taken back by my move but laid her hand on my chest gently while my one of my hands remained in my pocket and the other one on her waist.

Amelia: "you don't even know who he is yet."

Lando: "I know. Just wanted to take the opportunity to kiss you and I could get used to it..."

She giggled softly before placing a kiss on my cheek. While laying Quince his tack away she described how Eric looked before getting her phone out and showing me a picture of his Instagram that she didn't follow nor liked one of his posts.

Lando: "so technically be your boyfriend for the day?"

Amelia: "yea kind of."

Lando: "what do you say about forever?"

Amelia: "first that date you asked me on mister."

Lando: "okay."

She pulled off her riding boots and pulled on her white dirty sneakers. She pulled her helmet off and swung her hair forward grabbing it into a high ponytail before pulling her elastic around it and standing up again. She smiled at me before burying her head into the collar of her coat.

Amelia: "it's cold."

Lando: "definitely is."

We walked to the canteen together where everybody was already ready for the simulation. The first person was already sat on the mechanic horse with the instructor along.

Amelia: "do you want a drink?"

Lando: "some water please."

She nodded to me before she grabbed some 2 cups of water. She handed me one of them before we both sat down with the rest of the group while Flo stared at me with a smile. I shortly smiled to her before turning my head away and trying to join the conversation that was going between the people. Amelia was speaking now and I looked to her side profile as she looked to the person in front of her. Gorgeous...

The day mechanic horse lessons were over and lunch was over as well before the first people started tacking up their horses. Amelia and I walked to the arena together. I saw the described guy walking our way and wrapped my fingers between hers holding her hand. She folded her fingers around mine gently. Her hands were as soft as I imagined them while they were a nice warmth.

Eric: "hey babygirl."

Amelia: "bye Eric."

Eric: "I wasn't done talking to you yet."

Amelia: "well I was."

Eric: "where are you going."

Lando: "leave her alone mate."

Eric: "Lando... Lando Norris?"

Lando: "yea."

Eric: "what are you doing here man?"

Amelia: "he accompanied his sister."

Lando: "and I wanted to see my girl."

I placed a kiss on her lips gently before she leaned her chin on my shoulder and smiled at me. She turned her head after she placed a kiss on my lips and leaned it against my shoulder. I turned my head to see the guy in front of me looking a little suspicious.

Eric: "who's her favorite horse then?"

Lando: "Fabi of course. Work related Quince."

Eric: "false it's Kick."

Amelia: "it is Quince."

He huffed and rolled his eyes before walking away. I looked after him Amelia took my chin between her fingers and pulled my head to her.

Amelia: "don't stare it's rude."

Lando: "sorry."

She placed her lips on mine once again and afterwards let go of my hand and chin before walking off backwards.

Amelia: "I think I could get used to this too."

She winked at me before turning on her heels and continuing to walk to the arena while I staid stood frozen in the middle of the stables. Heat rising to my cheeks before she turned around the corner and she was out of sight.
