Vacation

Letting Eric just guide her hand Ashlee continues to watch and feel how he showed her to rub the rag and the amount of pressure to put in some areas and less in others. It was fun to feel the leather under the rag and to know what the outcome would be. Knowing that the saddle would be soft and save the life of it making it last a little longer. And knowing that this saddle could be hers, the one she used for riding made her want to work at it even more.

"Mom's pretty good about not worrying to much about me. Not because she doesn't care that is but because she knows she really doesn't have too. Not to mention I have been begging her to let me take riding lessons for a long time. Now that we are here, I don't think she will mind so much."

Looking back to the saddle and working on a rough patch she came across Ashlee without even thinking about it sticks her tongue out to the side a little as she concentrates really hard in oiling that one spot. Working it till she was satisfied and felt it was soft enough Ashlee looks back to Eric and cocks her head for a second.

"I'll definitely ask my mom if its ok first though. Can you be the one to teach me?"

Taking a bit of her food and just looking out again Ryan couldn't help it. It was almost hypnotic to just see the way the sun bounced, and the shadows cast. It was like being on top of the world looking down with out anyone knowing. It really was amazing.

"Don't worry you secret of this place is safe with me."

Breaking her gaze away and looking to Tal again Ryan gives a smile as the sun dances, and bounced off her eyes making them just seem a little bigger today.

"As long as you don't mind sharing it with me."

Hearing Justin's comment about her cooking Beth couldn't help the slight color that came to her cheeks. She new he has said she was a great cook before but every time he did it just caused her to blush more. It was nice to get a complement and know her mother recipes were going to someone who looked them.

"Well, as long as you like what I cook than I'll keep doing it."

Getting comfortable on the couch and setting the plate in her lap Beth settles in and takes a bit of the food. It was pretty good, and everything she made something and eat it, it brought back good memories of when her mother would cook. Than alone was definitely worth it.

Hearing about Justin's phone calls and all the problems he was seeming to have Beth felt bad for him. It always did seem like people with problems grouped around him and wanted him to be able to fix them. It had to get a little tiring after a while just wanting a normal friendship where someone didn't want him to fix there troubles.

"Shesh I can see why it gets frustrating after a while. Everyone coming to you with there problems. I guess they think because you have the title as councilor you can fix everything."

Beth does her best to give a smile to Justin. Though she wondered somewhere in the back of her own mind if she had gotten away from the needy problems, and if Justin saw past them too. She didn't want to add to his problems.

"I think you good at your counseling. But maybe...you need a vacation and just relax for a little while! I bet you haven't had that in a long time huh?"
