Chapter 01

Rayka They say that there is no better place in the world than home, and every time I come to Amarillo, I feel that this saying is true, here will always be my home, my refuge, my safe haven. I take advantage of being here and go for a ride around the city on Poseidon, my Shire horse, it's nice to be able to ride again and feel the wind on my face. This is the first time I've been home since I decided to stay in Boston after college. It's where I will be opening a law office, along with Vanessa, who prefers to be called just Ness, Anelise, who we call just Liz, and Sarah, who like me, prefers not to shorten her name. Ness and I have been friends since we were kids and grew up together in Amarillo, when we got to Harvard, we couldn't be roommates and that's how we became friends with Sarah and Liz, our roommates respectively, and since then, our quartet has been inseparable. At first it was strange to live in Boston, because the weather is cooler there than in Texas, not to mention

Chapter 02

Rayka“Now let's talk about something else, Rayka what are your plans for these days?”“My father is preparing a delicious barbecue by the pool for today.”Like any good Texan, my dad loves a barbecue, so he built a gourmet area in the basement of our house, with a heated pool for us to use in the winter.“And I thought we'd go out to the farm early tomorrow, drive around, and come back at the end of the day for the party.”“Oh, no Rayka, you know I want to take these days to be with Bryan.” Liz says.Of course, she wants to, I look at Ness and shrug, we both know that Liz will insist on it.“As for that Liz, Bryan is not coming to Amarillo, he decided to spend the holiday in Arlington.” Ness speaks up.“I can't believe he did that.” Liz speaks up, I look through the rearview mirror just in time to see her wiping away a tear.“Don't cry Liz, he doesn't deserve your tears, if he was worthy of them, he wouldn't make you cry, come on, hold your head up, you are a strong woman and you des

Chapter 03

RaykaThe girls and I hang out by the pool, the argument in the car is forgotten as we laugh and joke, when the meat is ready, we get out of the pool and put on our robes to sit by the table.My dad went all out with the meal consisting of Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork accompanied by macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, and pickles. For dessert we have a Banana Pudding and vanilla ice cream.After dinner we go back to my room and after taking a hot shower and putting on a comfortable outfit, we lay down on the bed to watch a movie, I put on the movie Wolves with Jason Momoa as the villain, I love this actor and I haven't had a chance to watch this movie yet“Oh, back home.” I speak at the end of the movie. “Of this bad wolf, I certainly want to be the little hat.”“We already know what kind of man to look for to be Rayka's boyfriend, an older guy, who is very tall, with long hair and a brave face.” Sarah says.“Perfect description, if you find one like that, you can deliver my address

Chapter 04

RaykaJames is not very happy about having to travel on New Year's Eve, but I explain that he just needs to drop us off at Arlington and go home, I don't see why he should have to stay there waiting for us and thus be away from his family during New Year's Eve.Luckily the suites at the hotel were easy to get, without even using my last name and soon I have all four rooms booked, as well as all the services we will need for the time of stay, even though I am sure that one will not be used since Liz will probably stay with Bryan.I see that the girls are still trying on clothes and boots as well as some hats and jewelry that I have available for these events, but there is no way to carry the hats in the bag, easier to buy there, Dallas has great options. I realize that I need to pack my suitcase as well and for that reason I go to the closet to choose the clothes I will wear tomorrow, in addition to the brown boot, I choose black riding pants, a 3⁄4 sleeve red wet velvet bodysuit and a

Chapter 05

GaelSitting at the table of one of the tents that have been set up around the stadium, I am watching how beautiful the Texan landscape is. Although Allan has been living in Texas for a few years, this is the first time I've come to visit him, I hardly have any time off from the hospital and when I do I prefer to visit my parents. Because of this, although we are very close, we usually hardly see each other, since he makes a living traveling the country to compete in rodeos, so we see each other more in Atlanta, where our parents still live, or when he is near Miami and goes to visit me.Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to live in a coastal city, and after graduating, I chose Miami to be my home, I managed to buy a nice house in Allapattah, with three bedrooms, one of them en suite, and even with a pool in the back. For a long time, I lived alone, and since I spend more time at the hospital than at home, it never bothered me.It's a bit strange not being with my family on the h

Chapter 06

GaelAfter the waiter walks away, I turn to Rayka, still not understanding that question she asked me earlier.“Rayka, why did you ask me if I had another cousin?”“Because it is not common for a PBR champion to compete inside rodeos, especially when the new season starts in a few days” Rayka explains to me and turns to Allan. “One question, was it you who applied for this challenge or the man who challenged you?”“He challenged me after knowing that I was watching yesterday's ride.” Allan speaks and from the look on her face it was the wrong answer.“And did you even remember that the Major in New York is next week?”“Yes, I do, I'm the best, and I will win here and there.” Allan replies angrily, he hates to be doubted.“I'm sorry to inform you, but you are not as good as you think, you were only champion this year because of the Iron Cowboy score, and yet, you almost lost to the Brazilian who won the Last Cowboy. So instead of bragging and accepting dangerous challenges, you should

GaelI see that Rayka is already at the end of the eating area, and as she is walking slowly, I run to catch up with her.“Rayka, wait.” I call out as soon as I'm close, so she can hear me.She stops and turns to me; from her expression I imagine she is surprised that I have come after her.“Gael, what do you want?” She looks suspicious.“Accompanying her, in Scouts, we are taught that we should always stand next to our partner in a system of partnerships.”“I thought my partner would be Liz.”Only then I realize that I decided to be her partner, thinking it would be the best, but I didn't think about what she wants, it may be that she prefers to be with her friend and not with me.“I asked to be your partner, but if you don't want my company, it's okay.” I say leaving the final decision to her.“It's not that, I was just surprised, and I don't mind us being a couple.”“Good, so where are we going?”“Here at the stadium, there is a Cowboys store, I need to buy some accessories before

GaelWe enter the eating area and go straight to where our group is sitting.“Rayka, you took your time, where were you?” Ness asks.“Relax mom, I just went to buy some hair clips. Or did you forget last time?”Rayka puts the bag with the items on the table.“I had forgotten, I'm glad you remembered. Rayka, help me make a bun without messing up my braid.” Ness asks.Rayka goes over to her friend and starts messing with her hair.“Sarah, help me with mine.” Liz asks.I guess we won't be leaving soon, so the best thing I can do is sit and wait.“Hey Rayka, I remembered something about last night.”“What, Liz?”“Who's afraid of the big bad wolf, big bad wolf.” Liz speaks humming and looking at me.I don't understand why she is looking at me, is she angry because I didn't let her partner up with Rayka?“Quiet Liz.” Rayka says making her friends laugh.I don't know if it's an impression, but it seems that Rayka's face turned red when Liz sang. And from everyone's reaction, I don't think th

GaelWe arrive at the park and while Ness and Charles are waiting for the second car at the park entrance, I go with Rayka to the counter to buy the passports.“Good afternoon, I am a Diamond member, I need a bracelet, and I will also want seven passports with Flash Pass Platinum.” Rayka asks, handing the attendant a card.Very smart of her to buy the flash passports, they offer the advantage of not having to stand in lines waiting to ride the rides, which will give us more time to enjoy the park. And although it costs a lot more than a regular passport, the benefit is worth it.“Here you are Miss Powell.” The girl says handing over the wristbands.“Thank you.” Rayka says and walks away.I notice that the attendant did not even mention the prices, now I do not know how much I will need to give Rayka for my passport.“Rayka, how much do I need to give you?”“Don't worry about that, the passports are on me.”What? She can't be serious about banking all our passports.“Rayka, that's not

Chapter 10

GaelIt takes a while, but finally we buy the soft drinks and go back to the group.“I can't believe it, how Kaleo has the guts to go up to her.”I don't know who the boy is, but Bryan doesn't seem to have a good relationship with him. I look where our group is and two boys are coming towards them, both are redheads, however, one is taller and with a stronger physique.“Who are those guys?”“The shorter one is Rayka's ex-boyfriend, the relationship ended after she discovered his betrayal, Andrew said he would end his race if he got close to his daughter again, and I will be happy to do him that please.” Bryan speaks up, tightening his stride.I will never understand why people stay in a relationship and cheat, if you don't like it anymore, the best thing to do is to break up and each one move on with their lives. And how can anyone in their right mind betray a person like Rayka, who even though I only met today, I could already see that she is a strong, intelligent, and charismatic wo
