Fast Mood Swings [Open!]

[horsefriendlygirl]

[/font][/size][/color][/i]riving in her brand new Ford 250, she pulled into the gravel driveway. She knew that she would have to wash her car since there was dust floating around everywhere at the stables. Lee sighed nervously, her horse doesn't get around well at new, unfamiliar places. Lee parked her car and opened her door slowly, she stepped out of her high truck carefully. She slipped a little bit, but luckily she didn't fall. She shut the door behind her, and walked around to the old, scratched up trailer. Her family have had it ever since she was 15 years old. But hey, it was still useful right? Lee chuckled a little bit, taking a glare at her trailer. "Oh what memories we've had with this trailer" she thought.

Lee walked to the end of the trailer, looking at Squid's big, muscular rump. She opened of the back and set the bottom down gently, trying her hardest not to make Squid even more spooky then he already is. She grabbed his custom made brown leather halter and lead rope. She put his halter on and stepped in front of him. She tapped him lightly with the lead rope, which made him back up slowly. He tripped a little bit, while twitching his tail. She could see the whites in his eyes, which indicated either fear or excitement. Most likely excitement. They were both finally out of the trailer. Lee was a bit sad she didn't have help with Squid. But she was tough, she could handle a 16.2HH horse on her own, since she has handled a 17.1HH horse by herself before. She just had to fall off of that Gelding.

After a few minutes of rubbing Squid on his belly, trying to calm him down before walking him to the big barn where there were lots of horses, and different scents. Squid's head lowered which usually meant he was a bit more calm. She felt relieved. She then closed the trailer gently. Lee took a few steps forward, testing Squid. She was always this way at new places with Squid, it was as if she was more nervous then him, weird huh? She finally started to walk regularly towards the barn. Squid looked around with his donkey ears perked, eyes widened, while tugging lightly on the lead rope. He was walking a bit faster then Lee, so she reminded him to slow down, so she yanked gently on the lead rope. Squid was a bit startled, so his body twitched.

They had finally reached the barn. Lee looked down at the ground to watch her step. Squid's hooves clipped and clopped on the cement ground. Lee was heading towards the cross ties to get him settled more. She saw lots of different Equestrians at the barn, she was actually quite happy to finally see Equestrians again. She didn't even have a hint that she would be happy about that. Lee saw the cross ties from afar, and she sped up a bit, and so did Squid. He was actually really well behaved for being at a completely new atmosphere. This barn was bigger then there usual barn, since they had mostly ridden in their hometown. Well, her hometown. Squid was imported from Germany about a 7 months ago. When he arrived at the states it was all very new to him. It was quite hard for him to get used to the new climate, since it's pretty cold in Germany.

As soon as they reached the cross ties, the second he saw it, he stopped. This is regular for him though, usually it takes a few circles for him to go into the cross ties. What a stubborn horse he was when it came to cross ties. The reason why Squid always does this is because he knows that Lee will go away at some point. He absolutely hates being alone in the cross ties. If there is another horse beside him, yeah he's fine. Lee turned Squid around a few times, just trying to get him in there. She took a few steps toward the cross tie area after circling him a few times. he finally walked into it, still hesitating a little bit. Lee succeeded and sighed off relief. She hooked him onto the ties and hung his lead rope on the side of the wall. She walked away to grab her tack box out of her truck which was a few halls away. Squid snorted and pawed aggressively at the ground. Lee looked back and shook her head. "That little brat" she thought. She always hates calling him a brat, but it was true at times.

Lee saw her truck and ran slowly towards it, trying to hurry up a bit cause of Squid. He can get pretty aggressive when he's alone. She unlocked her truck and grabbed her tack box, as well as her cell phone while she was at it. She locked her truck and ran back to the cross ties. She saw Squid from afar and Squid saw her. He whinnied loudly and pawed even harder at the ground. "No wonder he never needs his front hooves trimmed, he pretty much trims them himself" she said laughing aloud. People probably think she's crazy for talking to herself, but most Koreans do that. It's quite weird, but if most of the people at the barn were Korean, they would understand.

Word Count; I have no clue. Sorry, not good about that stuff.
Status; Done!
Notes; Sorry, quite a long post.[/ul][/size][/color]

shifting his weight on the bar stool, hand slipped into his back pocket. right arm flexed as muscles gave way to the action. fingers provided help in accomplishing the task of grabbing his cell phone. arm pulled the device out in front of him. flipping it open, the screen lighting on demand, the clock showing that it was midday. he'd only been here for ten minutes, and was already bored with nobody seeming to help the fellow. head swiveled, vision changing scenery as he glanced out of the lounge's window. replacing the phone into his back pocket, weight moving forwards and fabric helped him slid off of the slick wooden seat. feet hit the floor, evenly distributing his mass on both legs. arms surfaced above his head, muscles extended and burned slightly at the stretching. the fibers in his torso felt loose and unconstrained. rolling his shoulder blades, feeling the need to loosen up his anatomy for no reason. walking from the lounge, index finger flicked the light off on his way out, closing the door with a subtle slam behind him, view glancing the barn's premises.
nobody was around. or, from what he could see. strides short and slow, while body had a slight bounce to it, giving him the official guy saunter that all male's wished to achieve. cause it made them look total badass. eyes rolled over his arm, glancing at the tattoo's lower half that peeked out from underneath the fabric of his shirt's short sleeve. shrugging, he was fond of the tattoos that were inked on his skin. olive, tan skin held more than just ink. multiple scars and even a branding. an initiation in something he didn't even want. upper set of teeth bit onto his lower lip, chewing on it. stopping when he saw an equine in.. cross ties? he wasn't an equine person. nor did he intend to be. this place was just a good cover-up from reality. and, to remain under the radar by suspecting characters. clearing his throat, he glanced over the frame of the animal that was just standing there. alone? he'd hope not. the thing looked antsy. will just stood there, raising an eyebrow at the creature that just took notice of him. however, hearing footsteps from around the corner, the equine ignored the male onto the arriving person. cocking his chin in a questioning manner, will took a few steps. stopping once again, hearing the girl's vocals and laugh mark over the barn with echoes. [glow=red,2,300][/glow] [ do all horse people parlare to themselves? or is it just you? ] he asked, pure italian vocals developing into the conversation that the girl perhaps that she had carried on to herself, for herself. his tone wasn't joking, and in fact, all seriousness floated in his words. even a concerned facial expression flashed over his features. walking forwards, tempting the girl's worry to flare up inside her. he had to admit.. he gave off a devilish, spine-tingling appearance. he just looked dangerous, was all. too bad this is what he was. he was a good twenty feet from the girl, and this is where he'd like to keep at. weight shifting as his shoulder leaned against a barn wall. hands slipping into his front pockets, body facing the girl's. intrigued for a comeback, he waited.

[horsefriendlygirl]

[/font][/color][/size][/i]ee walked down the hallway, her feet were moving fast, fast enough to get to Squid on time. As she was walking towards Squid, she heard a voice, she stopped suddenly and her eyes widened. Her heart started beating even faster then it usually does. Lee started to walk again, slowly but surely. When she reached the corner, she looked to the left and saw a mysterious man leaning against the wall. She thought about what he said, she was a bit nervous to answer him. He didn't look too much like an equestrian, which concerned her. What would a guy with an Italian accent be doing at a horse stable if he wasn't an Equestrian? "I think it's just me" she said with her Korean accent. "Who are you?" Lee turned around towards Squid and looked at him while she grabbed a hard, bristled brush. She started to groom Squid, watching the man closely. She knew he wasn't bad, she just doesn't like creepy guys.

She waited impatiently for a reply from the young man. That is one of the problems that she has. She always stops herself from forcing people to reply back to her. She sighed of boredom, so she turned around towards her tack box and grabbed a curry comb. She looked at Squid's face, and wiped off his eyes buggars. Before she continued to brush him, she stroked his long face for a minute. Lee always has a smile on her face when she looks at Squid, he just makes her happy. She always realizes how blessed she is to have this sweet and gorgeous of a horse. Squid's eyes softened and his head lowered. Lee knew she would make him fall asleep. She chuckled a little bit. Shifting towards his back to continue brushing him. She brushed his body in a circular motion, getting all of the loose hair off of his soft, shiny pelt. It always takes a lot of effort for her to brush him, since she is a perfectionist.

Notes; Sorry, kinda lost my creative thoughts. I might make a longer post next time I reply.[/ul][/color][/size]

her reaction is of what he expected it to be. chin tucked itself, throat letting out a smooth, solid chuckle. smirking, more weight resting onto the wall from his shoulder as he helped himself get comfortable. of course she'd ask you he was. he looked.. like he didn't belong here. which he didn't. he belonged on the street, or.. in italy. somewhere other than texas, and a barn. nasal passages opened, catching a whiff of a musty, dirty smell. something that probably radiated from the stalls. attention changed to the girl, who had started to groom her companion. watching for a moment, tongue rolled on his lower lip before speaking, [glow=red,2,300][ oh, my name is william mancini. ] [/glow] he figured a long time ago people felt more comfortable with knowing one's first and last name. it made them sound like they weren't hiding anything. [glow=red,2,300] [ i'm uhh, nuovo. ] [/glow] commenting, his italian loosely curving into his english. poor girl. stuck with a man that couldn't stop using his native language. he had been hoping the girl would be able to help him find someone who could hire him. stable hand, or.. whatever they were called. but this girl also looked fairly new, so he didn't even hesitate to ask, so he kept this question to himself. [glow=red,2,300] [ e tu? ][/glow] he asked, re-bounding her own question to her. he was a curious fellow, and this girl was his only source of entertainment at the moment.

note; don't worry. i'm pretty distracted right now, so i won't be posting a lot.

[horsefriendlygirl]

[/font][/i][/size]ee examined him closely. He wasn't bad looking, surely not her type though. She saw that he had a smirk on his face, so she smirked back at him. While she was stroking Squid, she noticed that Squid was looking at him with his ears perked. She chuckled quietly and gave him a big, hard pat. Lee chewed on her bottom lip nervously, that's what she always does when she gets nervous. She has never met an Italian before. But it was kind of nice how they were both from different countries. Lee looked him up & down, not in a rude way of course. She is just a very curious person most of the time, and usually she is brave as well, but I guess not with creepy guys. Lee reached for her pocket and took out a treat for Squid. She pointed for his mouth and he chewed it up happily. He wanted more but she didn't have any more to give him, but that's how every horse is, they just can't get enough treats.

After a minute passed by she looked at the man and listened to his answer. "Nice to meet you William, my name is Lee Hyori, call me Lee or Ji" she smiled, and walked up closer to his face, she crossed her arms and looked at his confidently, but still unable to meet his eye. "Your, nuovo? Sorry, but I don't understand Italian" she said to him, narrowing her eyes try to listen to him as closely as she could. She turned around towards Squid and walked over to him, she turned around again towards William and said "I'm going to put my horse away, okay?" she while unhooking the cross ties, putting his lead rope onto his halter. She stepped out of the cross ties and started to walk fast to his stall. Squid followed closely behind and behaved well. They reached his stall and she took off his halter and hung it on the side rail of his stall door. Squid walked right into his stall all by himself and continued to eat his leftover hay.

Lee started walking down the hall of the barn. She moved fast and finally reached William. She looked around the corner, stretching her neck to see if he was still there, and he was. "Hi, Will, it's okay if I call you Will right?" she asked, waiting for a reply from the interesting fellow. "Sorry for leaving you, I just had to put my horse Squid away" she said, finally meeting his eyes. Lee crossed her arms again as she spoke to him. She walked over to the wall he was leaning on and she leaned on it as well, a good distance away from him.

Notes; I have a good muse today! Yay!![/ul][/color][/size]

[william]

the girl didn't respond for a good minute or so, which made him cock his head. perhaps she was entirely done with the conversation. if so, he'd just ditch. he wasn't going to hang around. even if this girl was the only source of entertainment at the moment. eyes shifted to the equine, watching it watching him. he didn't understand such creatures, but then again, never even tried or had the opportunity to.
arms that dangled at his side reached up, and crossed over his diaphragm. his interest slowly leaving the conversation and the girl till she spoke. giving her name.
[ you too, lee or ji. ]
he joked, yet no smile flashed over his features along with the jest. instead, he sighed, and looked down the aisle way until she commented on his wording. thinking back to what he said, cursing inside his head for not using english.
[ scusa. new. nuovo mean's new. ] he repeated, correcting himself. then hearing her ask yet another question, as if she were asking him for permission to go put her horse away. he shrugged, it wasn't his position to say anything. flicking his wrist, the back of his hand gently moving through the air a short amount of distance, indicating that she could leave. waiting for a moment, hearing the clapping of the hooves against concrete, then silence. in his vision, the girl's anatomy stayed far away from him and mimicked his position on the wall.
[ yeah, sure. will works. ] he hummed. he'd prefer to be called will, seeing as only his family would use his full name, william, when he was in trouble. and, quite frankly, that was a lot. fingertips rolled over his features, rubbing them slightly as if he were rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
[ squid? cute name. ] he chuckled, smirking, dimple forming. [ where'd it come from?] he asked, wondering if the girl herself thought of naming the beastly horse the name, or just a former owner's decision. actually, he didn't care. nor did he think he'd remember the creature's name. sad fact. he just didn't care.

[horsefriendlygirl]

[/font]s she leaned on the side of the wall, she looked into his eyes. Her beauty was hard to resist for most guys, but it didn't seem like it for this guy. Usually Lee is always being hit on by guys, especially Asian guys, which she doesn't mind, but from American guys she does mind. She is actually quite picky when it comes to guys, they have to have a certain personality, certain looks, and so on. Lee looked around and looked back at Will again, she listened to his answer and fake laughed. She actually pretty much had no choice but to laugh. She really felt embarrassed. She always gets over it fast though. Lee sighed of boredom, sadly this guy wasn't very interesting in her opinion, but she dealt with it. She would hate to be rude.

A minute passed by and she felt awkward standing around with a complete stranger that she knew nothing about. When he told her what nuovo meant she replied saying "Oh, then i'm nuovo as well." Lee chuckled and looked down on the ground in a cute way as she did. She smiled happily and thankfully, this guy was started to entertain her horse, yes, she gets entertained very easily at times. "Good. I love the name Will, I always have" she said while walking over to her tack box, to get her water bottle out. She took a big gulp of her water and wiped her mouth off, her lipstick smeared onto her hand, as well as her face. She quickly covered her mouth, grabbing a wet cloth to wipe off the smeared lip gloss. "Shit! Another embarrassment! He probably thinks i'm a total clutse, which i'm not!" she thought, sitting down on a plastic chair in between the cross ties.

"I think when he was a foal, his previous owners nicknamed him that because he had really long legs. I love the nickname Squid for a horse" she smiled big, allowing her big white teeth to show. It wasn't a creepy smile of course. She got up quickly off of the plastic chair and grabbed Will's arm. "Come with me!"" she said happily, leading him to where she wanted to go. They reached the tack room and she gave him the list of contacts to call for different jobs. "You should really get a job here, they pay pretty well" she said handing him the list with both hands, a sign of respect. She then walked out of the tack room, assuming he would follow her back, she needed someone to talk to, but if not, she had to go home anyways.[/ul][/color][/size]

[william]

and, she awkwardly laughed, obviously a fake laugh. all awkward laughs from girls were fake. so, he just pursed his lips, and nodded. tongue rolled on his bottom lip, and teeth followed and bit the tender flesh. a good minute passed between them with no talk. he didn't like fake laughs, nor fake people. but he had to admit, he sometimes did fake laughs. but, hey, that was only to impress someone. he had a feeling that this girl didn't exactly want to impress him. in fact, he was pretty sure this girl wasn't even in the mood for speaking to him. perhaps she didn't like italians? or italian gangbangers? hell, she probably didn't even know what a gangbanger was. good thing, however. let's keep it that way if that's the cause.

attention snapped up, vision focusing onto the girl. hearing her accent grind against the italian word made him smile. she glanced to the floor, like almost every girl did in a dainty little way. hearing her say she loved the name will, he nodded, a smile still grasping his features. eh, this girl wasn't too bad after all. lungs filling with air, [my parents were obsessed with the name.. ] speaking until she became fluttered. at first, he didn't know why she was so panicky until he tilted his head, and saw she was freaking about a little smeared lip gloss. eh, sure, it was adorable. a sound erupted from his vocal chords, and broke into sections, creating a strong chuckle. not a laugh, but a heavier chuckle. he wasn't about to admit how cute he found that, about how flustered the girl had gotten. probably cause she thought he'd think differently of her. talking to herself, then this? he only bared a smile, about ready to comment until she answered his other question about her horse. yet, she gave no time for his response, and grabbed his arm. flinching, as a reaction, but gave in as he remembered where he was. and who he was supposed to be. sighing, he followed her. with two hands, she handed him a clipboard. well, that was an interesting way to hand one something. eyes rolling over it, looking at the names. he nodded, understanding. then hearing her say he should get a job here. flipping a page over, he walked out of the room right on her heels. [ do you work here? ] he asked, wondering if the girl had a job here, seeing she was new, yet knew a lot about the jobs and etc. he looked up from the paper, to the girl. he could tell she was bored, and obviously bored was even radiating off of himself. sighing, he flipped the piece of paper down onto the clip board, and set it aside. [ know of any places around here to eat? i'm starved. ] he commented, the feeling of emptiness in his stomach was un-satisfying.

[/color][/b] she said while walking away, looking back at him, walking carefully. She walked to her tack room and grabbed her saddle & bridle quickly. Her stomach growled, she was starving, she doesn't even remember having breakfast. Lee set her tack on the saddle rack and bridle rack. She got the items out that she needed, and she began to polish. She moved her hands in a circular motion, paying half of her attention to Will.

A few minutes passed by, and she was finally done with her tack. She walked back to her tack room and set her tack down gently, grabbing some fresh carrots to eat. She walked back to Will and while he was facing the opposite way of her, she tapped lightly on his shoulder and asked "Want a fresh carrot. Their nice and sweet." she held the carrot with two hands, her hands were clean of course. While she looked at Will, she replied to his question saying "There is a good restaurant in town called Gianna & Giovanni's, they have great Italian food. I can drive us there if you want." Lee smirked and her eyebrows raised, curious about what he was going to say. She wondered why he didn't answer her question, but it didn't matter. Lee set the carrot down in a plastic bag, and saved it for her horse Squid. She walked towards the plastic chair and sat down, looking at Will innocently, legs crossed sexily. her hair hung down from her head to her elbows. Lee waited for a reply from Will while eating her carrot.

Notes; Kind of a good muse, I don't know. =P[/size][/color][/ul]

she crossed in front of him in the doorway, bodies slightly closer than what they were before, but not close enough for an uncomfortable feeling to arise. she smiled towards him, and a small cringe of levitation rose on the side of his curled lips. he wished during this conversation they girl had said something that he could return with a cunning joke, however, nothing had appeared. awkward. clasping his hands together in front of him, hearing herself pardon her actions again as she stated she'll polish tack. he shrugged, not caring. [ go for it, lass. ] he mumbled, not thinking of anything else to say. watching her move items, then sit down and start polishing. he watched slowly, not really understanding why one would waste their time scrubbing leather, but he didn't exactly know anything about cleaning..saddles or bridles. crossing his arms, shoulder leaning on the wall once again. sighing, only a few moments passed by until the girl had finished with the tack.
feeling small pressure on his back, something that felt like a finger poking him, he turned around, only to face hands. eyes focused the orange colored-thing in the palms of her hands, only to see a carrot. arching an eyebrow in surprise and shock, this girl was entirely random. he didn't know if he liked it or not, but he'd survive for now. he chuckled, one hand grabbed both of hers, closing them over the orange vegetable. [ thanks, but no thanks. i'll pass. ] he smirked, hands dropping from her own. hearing her say that there was a good place to eat around here, and that was italian, he nodded his head. good. at least he won't die here from starvation. [ asking me on a date, eh?] he joked, adding a chuckle. he thought to his car, which wouldn't be the preferred choice, seeing he had his gun in the dashboard, and a stash of illegal possessions in the trunk for tonight's dealing. [ your car it is. ] he hummed. he usually hated being driven by girls. he felt old-fashioned, as he was raised this way in his culture. he had felt the need to open doors, pay, and drive. however, this wasn't really an option at the moment, and wouldn't refuse the offer.
he let the girl lead the way out following behind her, laid back attitude driving him only so far. grabbing his keys from his pocket, glancing over to the jeep wrangler on the other side of the parking lot. hitting the lock button, watching the lights flash. you could never be too careful, especially in his position. checking his phone for the time, estimated when they would be back. hopefully this girl had more surprises up her sleeve, because he had none. his attitude was becoming more and more slack and bored. his witty self wasn't showing. oh well.

[/b] she told Will, trying to concentrate on the road.

As Lee was driving, she spotted a left turn, she turned the steering wheel left and continued to drive along the road. There are a lot of people out today, so she had to slow down and speed up again, since there was some traffic. Everybody is getting off of work, that's why it's so busy. She hates it whenever everybody gets off of work, it just makes it harder to drive to places that are a bit of a drive. Lee's stomach growled, much like a dog. Lee rubbed her stomach with her left hand softly, trying to make her feel better. It didn't work of course, but it helped a little bit. Lee saw that there was an intersection up ahead. It was a red light so she stopped her truck, looking around the area. It was all new to her since she hasn't been living here long. She saw a dry cleaning place, she has been trying to find a dry cleaners. Lee looked at the street it was on and reached for her not pad. She grabbed a pen and wrote down the name of the dry cleaners, and the street as well. She tossed her note pad into the small compartment it was sitting in. Her truck was very clean, she is sort known as a clean freak since she us a perfectionist about things. There were absolutely no dirty spots or anything around the inside of her truck, not even on the outside of her truck. Yeah, there were some spots on the outside, but that always happens when you go to a horse barn, you just can't stay away from it. The floor of the truck was dirty, just because of her boots that carried in dirt and dust, and hay as well. The light of the intersection finally turned green, it was a pretty long light. Lee stepped on the pedal and moved into the same speed as the car was going in front of her. She is a pretty good driver most of the time, she passed all of her driving tests when she was learning how to drive. Usually asians don't learn how to drive at at least eighteen, which is good, because their basically babies when they learn how to drive at sixteen. That was just Lee's opinion anyways.

Notes; I've got an okay muse today. =][/ul][/size][/color]

sorry for the wait. i hate school with a passion. i'll reply this weekend, i promise
