* KASEY P.O.V *

   After I got my check and they let us out of the arena, I went go save Charlie in his stall by Shane's two horses. And when I walked out of his stall and turned to close his stall door, I felt a pair of hands grab my waist and I jumped, before I felt a pair of two soft lips kissing my temple, and I heard a sweet voice say, " A little jumpy are we." Shane said smiling.

   " Well wouldn't you if you weren't expecting someone to come grab you." I said laughing.

   " I'm sorry. Can you bring me to the airport to get my truck, please?" Shane asked.

   " Yeah of course." I said as we started walking to my truck.

   " So were you nervous going up on that stage in the middle of the arena tonight?" Shane asked as he got into the passenger seat after closing my door.

   " No not until they started talking about us to like the whole world, and plus our parent's found out also, cause i know that mine were watching.'' I told Shane.

   " Yeah I was kinda nervous to when he turned to me, I didn't know what to do." he said laughing and reaching over and kissed my check. When we pulled up to his truck he started to open the door and then turned around and kissed me and made me smile.

   " Thank you babe see you in the morning. Bye." Shane said from the window of his truck.

   " Welcome. bye. See you in the morning also.'' I told Shane out of my window as I was driving away from his truck

      *ONE MONTH LATER *

    '' Shane, Marty wake up sleepy heads yall got to hit the rode if yall want to make it to make it to Denver on time." I yelled as I walked into there rig and to make it easy on them I loaded the horses for them cause it's already 11 and they needed to be out of here driving at 10 and them they take along time pack all of their stuff.

   " Shane make her shut up I was sleeping." Marty said  making me laughing as Shane got up and walked over to me and hugged me from behind and kissed my neck.

   " I was sleeping too Marty but Kasey is right id we don't leave we will be late we have to be there for 6 in the morning for the solo round." Shane said rubbing his eyes.

   " I already packed all of yall's things and loaded the horse's" I told Marty and Shane.

   " Thank you babe you are a life saver." Shane coming and kissing my forhead.

   " Yes, thank you Kasey you are a life saver." Marty said coming up and giving me a high five, " Why haven't you left already though for the rodeo?" Marty asked.

   " Because I'm only competing in ERA Rodeos and big rodeos like Houston and others." I told Marty. Me and Shane went outside to talk while Marty was getting ready.

   " Kasey, Thanksgiving is less than a week and a half away and I was wondering if you would come and meet my parents and siblings and spend the day with us and we could spend the next holiday, or gathering with your family if you are ok with that?" Shane asked.

   " Yes I would love to." I told Shane and got up to go sit closer to him and not so far away and he got up and grabbed my face and kissed me hard on the lips and I did the same maybe even a little more harder than he did.

   " Ok, love birds. Shane it's time to go." Marty said walking out of the door locking it.

   " OK gotta go, text me when you get home. Drive safe." Shane said kissing me on last time.

   " OK, text me when yall get there and yall drive safe to." I told Shane and Marty, while blowing them a kiss. Then I texted my mom about what Shane said about me going with him for Thanksgiving.

   K (KASEY)  M(MOM)

      K- Hey mom, Shane asked me too go Thanksgiving with him and meet his mom and dad, and that we could do the next holiday or family gathering, with yall. I just wanted to make sure that was ok with u and dad.

      M- That is completely fine with me you are going to have to talk to your dad.

      K- Ok, thank's I'll call him once I get home. I am leaving the parking lot from the rodeo for the last three nights in Arkansas.

       M- OK, drive safe honey.

      * SKIP DRIVE *

   Once I was pulling up in my drive way all the horses ran along the fences following me and my trailer. Once I got out, I went over to the fence and petted the horses in the closet pen who was Sage and Tandy, two of the horses I have been training and boarding for their owner. Then I went go unload Gage and Charlie out of the boarding part of the trailer. Once I went into the trailer I hooked Charlie's lead rope to his halter and walked him out and walked to the barn and put him into his stall next to my old buck skin Mason. When I walked next to Mason and started to rub his nose Charlie started snorting at me.

   " I see someone is jealous." I told Charlie laughing.

   " Hey, when did you get home." my older brother Kasen said walking in the barn.

   " About five minutes ago." I told him walking towards him.

   " And you didn't think about coming tell me hi." he said hugging me back.

   " I was taking care of my animal's. They come before you sorry to bust your bubble." I told him as her held on to his chest.

   " Ouch. That stung." he said wrapping me by my shoulders and we walked back to the house.

   " Hey, can we go see mom and dad." I asked him.

   " Yeah sure let me get my hat." he told me walking into the house grabbing his cap off of the hat holder. And we went to the truck and headed down the road and it took us about 8 minutes to get there, my parents live about 3 miles down the road from me. Once I hopped out of my brothers truck my little sister and brother Macy my little sister who is 16 came out the door, with my little brother Kaden not far behind her who is 12.

   " Hey guys." I told them hugging them both at the same time.

   " It is sure good to see all of my kids in the same place and being nice to each other." my dad said hugging my mom in the door way.

   " Come on kids lets go inside its chilly outside." my mom said, " Dinner will be done in less than 5 minutes." 

   " So who did you meet so far on the circut." asked my little brother as we all sat down at the table besides mom and dad.

   " Um, I met the Wright brothers and the Crawly brothers, Trevor Brazile, Tuf and Clif Cooper, Marty Yates, Chandler Bownds, Lisa Lockheart, Brittany Pozzi, and a good bit more." I told them. Then my mom came with the food and placed it on the table and sat down, and we all started to say iur prayer, and after we passed around the food the we waited until everyone had their food to start talking and eat.

   " So Kasey tell us about your new boyfriend." my mom said smiling.

   " You have a boyfriend since when did you get one, and who is he?" my sister asked.

   " Since a month and a week ago." I told my little sister, brother, and older brother, because my mom and dad already know about my and Shane.

   " And what is this guy's name?" asked Kasen my older brother asked.

   " Well I'll give you a hint, he is a tie down roper, and he has won the world title once." I told them.

   " Tuf Cooper." said Macy.

   " No" I told her.

   " Clif Cooper." said Kasen.

   " No" I told him.

   " Marty Yates." Kaden asked with a bright smile on his face cause Marty is his favorite and Shane his second favorite, and Shane is my sister's all time favorite.

   " We give up give us another hint." they said all at the same time as me and my parent's were laughing.

   " Ok, he is from Louisiana." I said and my sister jumped up.

   " SHANE HANCHEY !!!!" she yelled smiling.

   " Yup." I said smiling.

   " The real Shane Hanchey is your boyfriend?" Macy asked.

   " Yes." I told her again.

   " I don't believe you, show me a picture of yall together." she told me, so I pulled out my phone and showed her the picture Fallon and Marty took of kissing when I was on Charlie and I was leaning down to kiss before one of my runs.

   Her mouth dropped all the way to the floor and I just laughed. " So when do we get to meet Shane" my mom asked.

 " Well him and Marty are at a rodeo in Denver for two days, together because they are traveling partners. I was wondering is he could come for like two days on like Tuesday and Wednesday, maybe?" I asked.

   " I'm fine with it." my mom said.

   " So am I." dad said.

   " And Kasen when he comes you are not staying in my house you can come back to mom and dads and sleep in your room and live in the house you are supposed to live in when you come back home from Texas." I told him seriously.

   " Ok." he said eating his food. Then I felt my butt buzz and it would not stop, so I looked and it was Shane calling.

   " I'll be right back Shane is calling." I said getting up. " Hey, sorry I forgot to call you when I got back home."  " It's ok, all that matters that you are home safe and sound."  " Well yes I am and I was eating dinner with my family when you called and they were asking me about you."  " Specking about family what did they say about you coming with me."  " They said I could go with you."  " Ok I'll let my people know."  "How is the drive so far."  " Um, we have about 10 minutes left and Marty is driving right now we switched aboutvtwo hours ago, we have been switching about every two hours."  " Well that's good, ;isten my family wants to meet you would you like to come on Tuesday and Wednesday and stay at my place."  " Yeah sure."  " Ok I'll send you the info when you get back in Louisiana."  " Ok well I gotta go. Talk to you later tonight. Bye''  " Bye." * END OF CONVERSATION *

   " That was a long talk. How did it go?" asked Kasen.

   " Good." I said back and smiling.

   '' So is he coming on those two days?" asked my dad.

   " Yes he is." I told him smiling once again. When we were all done eating we went go watch TV in the living room. And then at ten me and Kasen went back to my house. And when i was about to get ready for a shower Shane called again. " Hey babe. I just wanted to call and tell you that we made it to the arena safe, and I just got out of the shower."  '' Well that's good. Well I am about to go take my shower, make sure to call me before the rodeo and after to tell me how you and Marty rode, and if yall placed."  " Yes ma'am talk to you in the morning, goodnight."                     " Goodnight "  * END OF CONVERSATION*

   When I walked into the shower I let the warm water relax my muscles and I calmed down from my long day. When I got out I wrapped my self in a towel and walked to my room and went in my walk through closet and got a old high school rodeo t-shirt and some sweatpants and went to bed.
