Saving Grace// Nick

[Twisted Intentions™]

Nick laid on the deck sprawled out in the sun, shirt off and eyes closed with a baseball cap over his face. It was about 9 in the morning and it was already a nice day. He had already turned the horses out, bailed the hay, stacked it and took care of the new beefers that were near the barn. One had a calf this morning and so far the mother wasn't taking care of it so Nick had to step in and help it out a bit.
Dream A'dore stood near her gate as if she was asking to go into her stall. Lately she hadn't been too social especially around Toxic who was constantly trying to breed her and she wouldn't let him get within 10 yards of her. So due to Toxic's flesh wounds and for his safety he kept them far away from them, like on opposite sides of the farm. He had put new locks on the doors and Toxic couldn't figured it out. But if Jamie wanted to keep him around, he would have to be gelded because he was already breeding very expensive mares and the foals were going to be horrible.

Toxic was really starting to get on Nick's nerves but not just for breeding the mares when they were in their stalls but the fact that he had tried to breed a cow, killed a calf, got the cows out of their pen, got all of the horses loose, decided to eat ALL of the grain in the barn, break 6 stall doors, eat paperwork, dent his truck and break not only the barn doors but the arena doors and the door to the hayloft.... He really was being a @$$ because he did it all while Nick was outside and trying to keep him out of trouble with Dream. He was half tempted to out Toxic in with Dream and let her kick the snot out of him and tell Jamie he ran away, but that would be mean and since Jamie liked Toxic, he couldn't lay a finger on him.

As Jamie stepped out of the house and onto the deck, she looked around. "How does he manage to get all this done before Im even conscious?" she asked herself out loud. She had woken up only a hour ago. She'd showered, got dressed, had a muffin and a cup of coffee, and that was it. And he had already done a whole days worth of work. This was just one of the many times she felt guilty about how much he did. As she stretched, her blue tank top came up to expose her belly button and the tattoo around it. Today was oddly warm for fall, but she was glad for it. Taking in a deep breath of the warm air, she looked around, trying to find him. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a body-ish shape and turned towards it. For half a second she panicked, thinking he was unconscious or something. But then she realized he was just lounging in the sun. Quietly walking over to him, she pulled up her jeans a little and sat down beside him. He probably wasnt asleep, but she couldnt tell. Leaning towards him, Jamie kissed his chest just above his abs. "Hey Nick? You look really hot, the sun shinnin' on you like that." she said, a smile wide on her face. She waited to see if he would react or if he was really asleep.

Nick waited a couple of seconds before responding and he did so by pulling her ontop of him. "Oh really?" He said in a smooth tone before he tipped his cap back and kissed her. He looked into her eyes and smiled before looking up at the sky. Judging by the position of the sun it was about 9 o'clock and that was fine with him. That ment he had about 11 hours until the sun went down and he was going to spend every minute he could with her. He loved getting everything done early in the morning so he had the rest of the day to do as he pleased. He didn't mind it either. it kept him in shape and it mad ehim aware of every little thing about the animals. A slight offness in their personally or in their walk.

After a few seconds passed, she began to think that he really was asleep. Then suddenly she felt his hands and he was pulling her on top of him. She yelped a little in surprise. Laughing at herself a little, she watched as he pulled back his hat. Jamie kissed him and then sat up, now straddling his waist. "Yep, you sure are." she said, her hands on his chest. She smiled at him and unable to help herself, she leaned towards him and kissed him again. Not really meaning to, the kiss lasted longer than a few seconds. More like a few minutes. But given the situation she was in, who could blame her? She was on top of a totally hot guy, and she was in love with him-not kissing him would be practically wrong. Jamie looked at him, watching him gaze up at the sky. With a smile, her own eyes watched the clouds, wondering what he saw there.

Nick smiled as Jamie looked up at the clouds. Now was perfect. He looked up at the clouds and made them spell out; "Will you marry me?". He couldn't stand it anymore and no one but Jamie would call it off this time. He was ready, but wether she was or not was another question. He slipped his hand into his pocket and a black box and opened it before putting it on his chest next to her hand.

As Jamie looked at the clouds, she started finding shapes and figures. When she was little, her and Nicole use to lay down in the yard and just stare at the clouds, pointing out whales and bunnies and all sorts of different things. But when she looked at a puff of clouds, they looked almost like words. She stared at them and watched letters form. Was she crazy? Had she taken too much of her meds this morning? Once all the letters were formed she read the sentence they had made. No, she wasnt crazy. Someone had wrote 'Will you marry me?' in the clouds. That was so cute. It must have been one of those planes that wrote things in the sky for people. She smiled, wondering who the writing was for. Jamie looked back down at Nick, ready to show his the cloud writing when she saw a black box on his chest. In a instant, she realized the words for her. No plane had formed them, but Nick. She looked back up to the clouds, at the ring, then at Nick. After looking in his eyes for a few seconds, she said "Of course I'll marry you". Smiling brightly at him, Jamie put her hand over her heart feeling it race with pure happiness.

Nick smiled. "Good because I really didn't want to give these to Hanna." He said as he put the ring on her finger and pulled a key with a locator button on it to find the gift, out of his pocket that the box was in. He handed it to her and kept a straight face. "Now I forgot where I put it so you'll have to find it." He said still with a striaght face. Truthfully, it was in the indoor arena, waxed, spotless and the interior smelled strongly of that new car smell.

Her Secret Gift:
2009 Stage 3 BlackJack Mustang

Jamie bit her lip as he put the ring on her finger. She looked at it only for a moment because soon he handed her some car keys. 'He wants me to go get his car?' she thought looking at the keys. But soon he quickly explained. "I get a ring and a car?!" she asked, staring at him. This was crazy. She hadnt even had her car a year, and now she was getting a new one. Jamie stood up and took a step back. Running her hand her free hand through her hair, she looked down at him, not sure she could take it. This really made her feel bad. She got a ring and a car, but what was he getting? Nothing. Sure she would buy him a engagement ring soon, but still. "Your making me spoiled." she said, mock glaring at him before walking off. This would just have to be something she got use to evidently. Because nothing she would ever do would amount to what Nick has done for her, or gave to her. Pressing the button on the locator, she waited for a sound or a flash. There was a very distant sound, but she heard it. Starting to get nervous, Jamie walked towards where she thought the sound was coming from.

"That's what I'm here for." He said with a chuckle. He couldn't help but read her mind for this one. Sure she was getting a ring and a car but he was getting something worth more than anything...Jamie; the only one that ment the world to him and he would do anything for. He'd wake up to her her beautiful face, he'd see her everyday, he'd grow old with her and that was what he really wanted. That was what he was getting.

[nickyy]

Jamie was already too far away to hear his reply. She was still following the beeping sound, now very nervous. She kept walking, her pace rather quick with anticipation. Despite not being thrilled about getting the car, she couldnt help but be excited. It was rather contradictory. She was getting very close because she could hear the beep just fine now. She pressed the locator button one more time and it led her to the arena. As she went inside, her heart just about stopped. 'That's a Stage 3 Blackjack' she thought, her heart now hammering. For a moment, she was frozen just staring at the amazing car. Then, as if her body had thawed out, she went running towards the car and started screaming. She couldnt even really understand herself as she screamed, probably saying things like 'Oh my God' and 'Holy Shit'. Jamie calmed down just enough to circle the car and stare. She was actually feeling a little faint. "This is a Roush Stage 3 Blackjack Coupe Mustang." she said, her voice almost a whisper. Walking over to the driver side door, she saw Jack Roush's autograph. Only 100 of these were made, so he had autographed them all. As any true Mustang fan, she had saw the prototype online in 2007 and had about died. And now, it was sitting in front of her. Jamie's heart was still racing as she stood in awe of the car. She couldnt even bring herself to touch it yet. 'This can not be my car' she thought.

Nick closed his eyes as he heard her scream and he laughed before shaking his head and pulling the hat back over his face. He put the black box beside his head and sighed content. He was pretty calm about it now, but later he'd be the enegizer bunny excited about everything. 'She likes it.' Nick thought to Paige who was at the barn and had heard her scream.
'Obviously. See a girl knows best about what girls want.' Paige thought back to him and continued to pet the newborn calf who was sleeping.

Taking a few steps towards the car, she slowly reached towards it and put her hand on the door. It was almost like she was scared of it. Smiling, Jamie carefully opened the door and got inside. She closed the door and almost on instinct, she put the key in the ignition and cranked it. Her smile grew bigger as the engine growled then settled into a purr. Reaching her foot towards the gas peddle, she pushed lightly and started revving the engine. Adding more and more pressure to the peddle, she listened to the engine scream, starting to laugh. She always tortured her cars before the first drive. Slowly starting to let off the gas, she looked down to were the gear shifter should be and realized that it was a automatic. 'This is going to be the best ride of my life' she thought. Pressing down on the brake, she reached behind the steering wheel and put the car into drive. Looking towards the doors of the arena, she let off the brake and stepped on the gas. As the car sped towards the door she said the old famous words "Drive it like you stole it". And that was exactly what she was going to do.

Nick laughed as he listened to the engine scream as she messed around. He looked at the doors waiting for her to shoot out of them and he stood up. His cell phone went off and he got a good idea. Why not play new car tag? He ran over to his Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and climbed in before he started fallowing her.

[nickyy]

Flying through the doors, the car started speeding towards the driveway, eager to reach actual pavement. Glancing in the mirror for a moment she saw a car behind her and her smile grew. Looking back ahead, she barely paused at the end of the driveway before whipping out onto the road. Good thing they didnt live in a high traffic area. Stepping on the gas, she flew down the road, wondering what Nick was up to. On a split second decision, she turned right, not bothering with a signal. She didnt see any speed limit signs around, but she was confident she was already pretty far over it. Glancing down at the speedometer she found that the car could do 140 but with the right adjustments, it could probably really go around 180. Glancing in her mirror once again, Jamie fully expected Nick to come speeding past her any second now.

Hanna growled as the cop hit her cars bumper for about the 20th time. He really need to give it a rest already. He had already destroyed the car and it looked like it had been threw WW1 and 2. They had traded paint a few times and it really showed. Hanna slammed the car in reverse as the cop hit her again and made her really pissed. She floored it down the road as his corvette always touched her bumped. She was steering threw her rearview mirror all the way down the road at atleast 200 mph. She flew past Nick and Jamie and decided enough was enough. She drove the car to the gardrail just enough to clip her rear bumper and sent the car into a slight spin, tossing the cop into a roll down the road. His car landed on all 4 wheeles and he was completely fine, and Hanna's dandy work didn't go unoticed. He drove down the road and got the message apparently. Hanna got out of her car and as she opened the Ferarri's door it fell off. "Wonderful." She said with a laugh. She popped the trunk and put the door in it before going over to the hood, wondering if the engine was still okay and it was. It was amazing she was even able to get out of the car unharmed because it looked like a car that had been crushed at the junkyard.
Nick laughed as Hanna got out of the car unhurt. He pulled over and got out before him and Hanna started laughing as she shut the hood and the engine fell out of the bottom.
