"Hey, i'm gonna have a fire tonight with the three guys from the barn and some work buddies. You coming out?" Colin said

"I don't know. Going back to work has been brutal" I said

"Well if you feel up to it and want to leave the comfort of the couch. You know you're always welcome. My work buddies love you" He replied

I nodded and decided at hot bath was a good idea. Filling the tub up, I stripped and got in the boiling water. Sitting down, I slide down so the water came up past my shoulders and I shut my eyes. This feels so nice. I would stay here forever. My body is so sore and the burning water is making it better. My phone started buzzing and I dried my hand off before grabbing it and answering.

"Hey babes" I said

"Hey whatcha doing" Kate replied

"I'm sitting in scolding hot water cause my body hurts" I said

"That sounds so nice right now." She said

"What about you?" I asked

"Tommy and I are going out tonight. Just wanted to check up and see how you were after a full work week" Kate said "I still think you should of done half days"

"Deb said that too. But hey, I made it. And I'm suppose to be walking more to build up muscle so I guess that's helping. I can't lift the shit bucket and technically shouldn't be throwing the saddle up. So i've been riding Gyp bare back. Just going on walks. He wants to run so bad. I had Kyle take him out while I took one of the older trail horse bare back." I said

"Well, just try and take it easy. What are you doing tonight?" She said

"Colin is having a fire. I might go out. But I might just sit inside and watch a movie" I said

"That's good. Easy night" She replied

"Are you still coming over tomorrow?" I asked

"Yeah. I'll be there around... 11" She said

"Okay. I'll be here" I laughed

We finished up our conversation and said bye. The water started to get cold so I decided to get my pruny ass out of the water. Drying off, I pulled on a pair of soffee shorts and rolled those up while also putting on an oversized tee. It looks like i'm not wearing pants. Whoops. Going into the living room, his parents are away for the weekend so it's just us.

"Hey so, i'm gonna bring the cooler outside and put the alcohol in there. So people aren't going in or out. Especially if you come out. You can't throw shit at them if they try and snoop. Like the one guy. I can't believe you got him right in the cheek" Colin said

"Hey, he started going through our cabinets and didn't know I was there. His face was priceless" I laughed

"He got fired for drugs. Didn't see that one coming" Colin laughed

I shook my head and pulled the blanket over my legs. Our AC works very well so i'm cold. We talked for a little bit and I busted on him a bit because we were getting him a gift when we got hit. My uncle went a couple days later and grabbed it because I threw a fit. Well not a fit fit. But I felt bad that he wasn't going to get it so he went out and got it. My emotions were everywhere for the first two weeks. I was mad and sad and I don't even know what else. I was going to go by myself originally. But my aunt said she'd take a ride and she wants to drive so hey, that could of been my nice old truck completely demolished. I would of flipped. I'm never getting rid of that truck and if it got destroyed cause of a dumb ass, I would of killed the guy. He was in the ICU as well but I would of killed him. My truck is my baby. Along with my horse.
