I had cleaned the colorful buckets with the hose before mucking out all of the stables. I rolled the wheelbarrow out when I let a whistle roll over my lips the head of the smaller chestnut mare stuck out over the stable door. I smiled at the sight of my Jazzy. The pony it all started with. She was quite big and I never outgrew her which I was so happy with. The past years she had made my little cousin very happy but know it was time to come back to me to enjoy her well deserved rest at my own stable where she would work thrice a week as she loved it and to keep her fit.

Amelia: "hello Jazzy."

I opened the stable of the mare and let her walk out when she had her black rug on. I let the pony walk around herself as she couldn't get out off the terrain and she wasn't the wildest. She walked out of the stable while I watched her leave with a chuckle. Her hooves tapped on the tiles in a trotting pace. I mucked out the stable and then walked outside and whistled again. The head of the mare shot up from behind the bushes.

Amelia: "come on time for your extra food."

I raddled the bucket with food making the mare trot after me as I ran to her stable. I laughed as she softly hit my back with her nose. I closed the stable behind her as she started nibbling on her food. I walked inside and started on lunch. Lando wrapping his arms around me.

Lando: "hello stinky."

Amelia: "hi. You hungry?"

Lando: "a little yes. What are you making?"

Amelia: "just some sandwiches. Nothing to special."

He nodded at me before opening the fridge grabbing some ingredients for the sandwiches as he helped me make them. Flo came in as well exactly when we finished them. She was her her hands before sitting down at the table as well. We had a nice lunch before Lando picked up the plaits and started washing them in the sink. I stood up from the table and took a towel in my hands. He smiled at me before he handed me the first plait.

Flo: "I will be outside if you need me."

Amelia: "okay. I will see you in a bit."

I turned my head to smile at her while she did the same and zipped her coat close. The door closed with a click and I turned my head back again. I stacked the plaits up as Lando took the glasses and knives and laid them in the water. I rested my head against Lando's shoulder while looking outside of the window that overlooked the meadow where Atlas, Connor, Dublin and New York were grazing. I felt a kiss on my head making me look up to Lando who was already looking at me with a smile.

Lando: "you love it here don't you?"

Amelia: "I do. What's there not to love? I have my horses at home... Flo is gonna be around a lot which I love. Your around a lot when your in England which I love... I finally got a dog... my life is almost complete."

Lando: "almost?"

Amelia: "almost."

Lando: "what's missing?"

Amelia: "kids... 2 of them."

Lando: "you want kids?"

Amelia: "yea I do."

Lando: "well maybe I can help you with that in a few years huh?"

Amelia: "hmm... we will see about that."

He splashed some water in my face which I returned with dumping a cup of water over his head. He chuckled before doing the same back. I gasped softly as the cold water fell over my face before a soft laugh left my mouth.

Lando: "your mouth is open."

Amelia: "of course it is! That was cold."

He placed a kiss on my lips before linking our hands and pulling me upstairs. He threw a hoodie to me which I caught before pulling out my own sweater. I felt his finger trace the tattoo that was on my back. The flower with Jazzy her name in the middle.

(Imagine that there stands Jazzy)

His fingers were warm as they traced the line. A shiver running down my spine as he placed a kiss at the top of the tattoo. His ear rested next to my ear before he whispered something in my ear.

Lando: "didn't know you had a tattoo... I love it..."

Amelia: "I've got 2..."

I turned around as he laid his hands on my waist. His warm hands brushing against my bare skin. One of his hands going up my skin and pushing my bra band to the side gently. Nothing showed off. He made sure of it.

Lando: "you really are the prettiest girl alive Amelia... I mean it."

I bit my lip softly as I felt heat rise to my cheeks while he placed the band of bra back in place gentle. He pecked my lips shortly before pulling the black hoodie over my head. I looked down to see that it was his hoodie. He pulled his own hoodie off revealing his trained body. I ran my hands over his skin softly, his breath stocked as I did so. I placed a kiss on his cheek before walking out of the room. I heard his footsteps run down the stairs and when my feet hit the ground he twirled me around while he stood on the last step. He placed a kiss on my hair while his hands were wrapped around my neck/shoulders.

Lando: "I'm so in love with you Amelia... it's unbelievable..."

Amelia: "that doesn't go one way Lando."

Lando: "come on."

We walked to the front door where we pulled on our coats and he grabbed my hand before we walked outside with Benson. The golden ran around the yard as we walked into the stables. He looked to me with a smile.

Lando: "anything I can help with?"

Amelia: "not really. I just need to ride some of the horses."

Lando: "okay. Let's tack up...?"

Amelia: "York."

He nodded to me before grabbing a leadrope. He clicked it on the halter of the brown mare before leading her to the grooming place where I had placed my dressage saddle with a saddle pad, bandages, bell boots and her bridle. We groomed her together before he handed me the hoof pick.

Amelia: "you can do it."

Lando: "no I never did it."

Amelia: "then I will learn you. It's not that hard."

I picked up the hoof of York and laid it on my knee. I showed him where to pick and where not to before he kneeled next to me and started picking it carefully. He finished it and we both stood up as I gently placed York her hoof on the ground. I let him do the next one himself which he did perfectly just like the other 2.

Amelia: "see? It's easy."

Lando: "yea."

I smiled at him before handing him the saddle pad. He looked at it and then to York her back. He placed it on there as I helped him lay it on her correctly. I placed the saddle on. I checked with my hands if the saddle was still laying correctly which it did. I placed the girth underneath her stomach before pulling it to the right tightness. I walked to the tack room and pulled my dressage boots from the bottom shelf.

Flo had left later this afternoon and after dinner Lando and I did the dishes which we just finished. I grabbed a mandarin from the fruit bowl. I placed a kiss on Lando's cheek before pulling my coat and shoes on.

Amelia: "I'll be back in a bit."

Lando: "okay."

I let Benson inside with Lando as I walked into the barn where all horses were waiting for food. I gave them their bix and hay before sitting down in Jazzy her stable. My back resting against the wall as I had my legs crossed. I watched as she nibbled on her food. After 10 more minutes I started to peel the mandarin. I looked up at the old chestnut mare who looked at me with her ears spread forward. She walked to me and wiped her nose against my hand letting me know she wanted a bite of it as well. I pulled it into the small pieces as I placed a piece in my hand. She gently took it from me. I placed a piece in my mouth myself before she made some funny faces. I laughed at Jazzy before I saw the face of Lando peak around the corner. His voice was gentle.

Lando: "what are you still doing here Lia...?"

Amelia: "I don't know... I feel comfortable with her... sorta safe."

The mare sniffed my hands as they laid in my lap. Me forehead resting against her head looking down her head to see what she was doing. Her lip playing with my fingers gently making me smile softly. She looked up again and so did I.

Lando: "you really love her more then anything huh?"

Amelia: "I do... I got her for my 6th birthday... a little over 15 years ago..."

Lando: "I'll be inside with Benson..."

Amelia: "I'll come in a few. Just need to finish the last things."

His footsteps left the barn as petted the mare I've ever head a few times slowly. I placed a kiss between her eyes before whispering "good night Jazz..." I closed the stable door and switched off the lights. I closed the barn doors and walked inside of the house again. I pulled off my shoes and coat before walking into the empty living room. I walked into the kitchen. Empty. I walked up the stairs and softly opened the door. Lando sat on the bed with his head in his hands. I sat down in front of him and placed my hand on his knee.

Amelia: "hey... is there something wrong?"

Lando: "you'll never have enough love for me... your love is for your horses... especially Jazzy, Fabi and Quince..."

Amelia: "I'll have enough love for you... I mean it Lando. There's plenty of love saved for the guy I love. Yes I'll always be busy with the horses. But I'll always find some time to spend it with you."

Lando: "you're never a day off Lia... never..."

Amelia: "how many days off."

Lando: "what?"

Amelia: "how many days off should I take?"

Lando: "4... 4 days."

Amelia: "any date?"

Lando: "19th of may to 22nd may."

Amelia: "Barcelona Grand Prix..."

Lando: "come with me please..."

Amelia: "okay."

I placed a kiss on his cheek before texting Flo to ask her if she could take care of the horses then. She replied quickly with a yes which was amazing.
