Ranch In Montana

Jefferson took a breath with on hand on his shoulder, and the other in his hair. This was seeming like an impossible mission. When he looked over, Stephanie joined in and tried to catch the chicken, but she flew in between her legs and on the other side of the coop. "Dumb chicken." Jefferson chuckled. This seemed like some kind of double-teaming match. He had an idea.
"Here, I go left, you go right," he said, scooting to the chickens left.

Jefferson took a breath with on hand on his shoulder, and the other in his hair. This was seeming like an impossible mission.

This seemed like some kind of double-teaming match. He had an idea.
"Here, I go left, you go right," he said, scooting to the chickens left.

Stephanie was trying to grab the chicken just as Jefferson came up with an idea. It was pretty reasonable and she nodded to show that she agreed. As he started scooting to the left she moved left. The chicken was confused and was stuck between the two of them. As they got closer, the chicken just sat down in defeat. Stephanie stopped moving and gestured for Jeff to pick her up. "Scoop her. Or else she will run again," she said as she watched him try and pick him up. She still had more eggs to pick up. "Meet me in the coop."

She walked away towards the coop to get more eggs.

Finally calming the chicken, Stephanie instructed Jefferson to scoop the chicken. Jefferson took in a deep breath and nodded."Meet me in the coop." As he finally had the chicken completely in his arms, he nurtured it and took deep and slow breaths to help. He'd remembered on the Discovery Channel that slow and steady breathes match, so if he slowed his breathing and calmed, the chicken will become relaxed also. He grinned. He never felt this type of feeling before, but it had a positive effect on him. He started back into the coop, and placed the chicken down carefully. He stood up. "Woah. That was a bit," He looked around the coop, finishing his sentence. "Wild." He chuckled.

Stephanie had a basket full of eggs when Jefferson came back into the coop. "Woah. That was a bit, Wild." She nodded and pushed the basket up on her arm and checked her basic cellphone that was in her back pocket. She was done her chores for Saturday which meant she was free to go into town. Placing the phone back into her pocket she linked arms with Jeff and walked back towards the house. It wasn't a flirtatious gesture, that is just how she walked with people sometimes. "Now I am done with chores which means you are too, unless Daddy told you specifics," she said nearing the back door of the house. Looking down at her outfit she almost forgot that she was wearing a dumb t-shirt and shorts. She couldn't go into town like this. Mya would shoot her. She stopped at the back door and unhooked her arm from his. "Okay. So I am going to into town with my best friend Mya. Do you want to come or stay and deal with my evil father?"

She asked the question knowing that he wasn't going to want to stay on the farm. She also wanted him to come.

He walked in, and she had a basket full of eggs. Woah, she was great at this. Jefferson thought, as she pulled her phone out of her pocket. She looked over the screen of the phone, then put it back into her pocket. It was a pitty that Jefferson's phone didn't work out here, and he was supposed to have AT&T. So all he had was an empty networkless Android that was only good for anything but communication. Stephanie linked arms with him, and he played along, rather it was flirtatious, or friendly, he was fond of it. "Now I am done with chores which means you are too, unless Daddy told you specifics," Jefferson puckered up his lip and shook his head. "Nope. Free to go." He said was they neared the back door once again. Stephanie then took a glance at her clothes. He smiled and looked over them too, and thought that she'd look beautiful in anything. Even a simple t-shirt and shorts.
Then Jefferson took a good look at what he was wearing. A stained gray tank top and faded jeans. "Okay. So I am going to into town with my best friend Mya. Do you want to come or stay and deal with my evil father?"

Jefferson gave on a playful thinking face, and looked up into the sky. "Hm...." He said, leaving some type of suspense. He pretened to hesitate, then finally spoke. "I'll take the chances and head to town with a pretty girl." He said, grinning. He realized that was his first compliment the came from his head to her. "But, I don't think I can go into town looking like this." He took a look at what he was wearing, and laughed.

Stephanie jumped up and down with excitement, but then stopped when she realized that she still had the eggs in her basket. Letting out a small giggle he spoke again. "But, I don't think I can go into town looking like this." She eyed him up and down and shrugged. "Look cute to me," she said with a smile, but she walked into the house. "But hurry up and change then meet me in the kitchen." Stephanie placed the basket of eggs on the kitchen table and dashed up the stairs to her room. She sent a quick text to her friend Mya letting her know that they were still going in to town and then Stephanie went to change out of her pajamas.

She scanned her closet for what seemed like years until she found the perfect out to please Mya and Jeff. Her outfit showed some skin, but didn't make her look like a whore which was pretty hard to achieve. She went into the bathroom and decided to work on her tangled hair and makeup.

Jefferson grinned at her slight compliment. "But hurry up and change then meet me in the kitchen."
Jefferson went straight upstairs and had idea of what he was going to wear. He went into his new drawer and picked out a grey button up with a few pockets, and thought he'd add some grey suspenders to the outfit. He went into his bag and pulled out some simple and comfortable jeans. Not to tight, but fitted. He slipped on his surprisingly clean pair of classic black and white All Stars, and planned to keep them clean.
He swirled into a wall mirror and checked himself out. He examined himself, and cocked is head slightly to the left, wondering what was missing.
"Ah!" He said, going into his bag, picking out a jar of styling jell. He slid a few on his index finger, and slicked it on the front of his chestnut hair, just slightly, careful not to achieve a James bond slick back. He put applied enough, not to much. He cupped his mouth, and smelled his breath. He shook his head in reaction, and reached into his dresser under the pile of clothes and picked up mouth spray. He squirted a few times in his mouth, and licked his lips. Perfect.

He went downstairs, surprisingly first down. He was in a pretty good mood. He sat on the steps, and suddenly became bored. So, he did a simple bored dance, assuming no one was watching.

Once Stephanie did her hair and makeup she checked herself out in the mirror a few times. She kissed blew herself a kiss and left her room with her cellphone in her pocket. She bounced down the stairs with money jingling in her jacket pocket. Jeff was already and looked extra delicious, but she kept that to herself. He was also dancing and she giggled. "Nice moves cutie, but we have to go," she said walking around him towards the front door.

Mya was waiting for them by her mercedes and when she saw Stephanie walk out she ran and hugged her. "Hey Mya." Stephanie was about to introduce Mya to Jeff, but Mya seemed to be doing well on her own.

She walked around Jeff and smiled. "Well hello there handsome. I am Mya," she said as Stephanie rolled her eyes.

"Nice moves cutie, but we have to go,"
Jefferson jumped, and looked over his shoulder, as Stephanie came past him down the steps. A slight color of red filled his face but he kept it to himself. He picked himself up from the steps.

He started behind Stephanie, and a girl reached around her and hugged her, as if they hadn't seen eachother in years. He guessed it was a girl thing. The female then turned to him, and approached him. He smiled, politely, with a slight look of confusion. "Well hello there handsome. I am Mya," Jefferson let out a flattered grin. Jefferson, routinly, held out his hand to shake.
"You must be Mya, Stephanie's friend." He said, with a nod. "Nice to meet you." He said to her, with a slight glance at Stephanie.

Mya shrugged and let go of his hand. "Yea. It is nice to meet me." Stephanie punched her best friend in the arm and Mya ran around to the driver side of the car. Stephanie opened up the door for herself in the front leaving Jeff the back. It was a habit to sit up front, but if Jeff wanted he could sit in the front some other time. They waited for Jeff before driving out of the farm area and down the road towards town.
"How do you know my best friend? Are you a secret boyfriend she hid from me?" Mya asked slightly joking.
Stephanie just blushed and looked down. "I can't hide things from you," she retorted, Mya was still waiting for an answer from Jeff.

Jefferson assumed that Stephanie mentally called shotgun, because she darted for passenger. He grinned as he opened the door to the back seat. As he strapped his seatbelt on, Mya had something that caught him completely off guard. "How do you know my best friend? Are you a secret boyfriend she hid from me?"
Jefferson stood silent, then let out a chuckle, and looked over at Stephanie,-(vv)
She became bashful and looked down. He found that too adorable.
Well, no, not yet. But hopefully soon.. was what he wanted to say, but instead he scooted in his seat, and said, "I'm working for her father to live with them," He began to explain. "Her and I met earlier today," He said, giving Stephanie a friendly glance.

Mya playfully shoved her best friend. "New rule. When you meet cute boys you must text me about them," she said not taking her eyes off the the road. Stephanie put up her right hand with her left hand on her chest to show that she swore that she would, but she wanted to keep this one all to herself. The town was pretty close and almost abandoned for a Saturday. It meant more shopping for the girls. They were shopping for a party that they were reluctantly invited too. Stephanie doesn't have many friends, but Mya does. Mya parked the car in front of the mall and undid her seat belt. "Alright. The party is at 7. That gives us 3 hours to shop and 3 hours to get ready," Stephanie said stepping out of the car.

Stephanie waited for Jeff to get out of the car so she could link arms with him as they walked in.

"Party?" Jefferson nearly leaped out of his seatbelt with excitement. "There's a party? Waiting to happen?" This was what Jefferson was used to, back at hte city. He went to a few clubs nearly every weekend with the Crips - er, his "friends" and having a good time.
He chuckled and undid his seatbelt. "Ah, this is going to be fun." He hopped out the car and stretched. He looked over at Stephanie. "You never told me about a party." He smiled, leaning in closer to her, feeling the wind of freedom away from the farm, giving him some more space to hopefully make a move.

((OOC: can I make a character for the party?))

Stephanie and Mya giggled at his excitement. Steph linked arms with him as he moved closer to her and they continued to walk into the mall. It was cute how he was happy for a party that he didn't know existed. "You never told me about a party." She pretended to think as she taped her chin as they walked into the mall doors. "Must have slipped my mind," she said looking at him. It was easier to flirt when they weren't at the farm and it was going to be even more fun when they go to the party. Her best friend had already chosen a clothing store and Steph dragged Jeff into the store with her. Guys served only one purpose in the mall. Holding their stuff. She released Jeff and went looking for clothes to buy.

((OOC: By all means! Go ahead!))

Jefferson smiled as they made their way into the mall, with Stephanie close by his side. They two headed straight into the nearest clothing store. We examined the two girls' eyes growing wide at the many clothes they pranced off into the aisles.
He thought it was funny, he'd knew he'd get bored. But he didn't mind. All of the boredom would be passed along once at the party. He sat down on a bench, awaiting free handed for endless of bags and clothes to be dropped into his hand. He unlocked his phone and began to play Temple Run, which was one of his favorite apps. As he played, a slight tap came across his leg. He looked up, and couldn't believe who it was.
"Nina?" He said, letting in a huge gasp. "Is that you, girl?" He asked, standing to his feet, reaching out for a huge hug. She stood up with her drink, with open arms.

"Jeff!" she grinned, leaning in for a huge.
Jefferson gave a her hug, and took a long look at her. "Woah. you changed," He said, almost dazed.
"Yes, yes, I know honey," She said, swirling around in a model pose, in a joking way. Jefferson laughed. "I always stay looking nice, no?" She asked, smiling. Jefferson took that as an unanswerable question, but she stood silent and waited for a response. "Um, definitely,"
"So, where are you? Bangz was looking for you the other day. He said you just packed up and left." Nina said, taking a sip of her milkshake.
Jefferson's heart pounded. He was trying to get away from all of this. "Well, you know, I'll be back," He lied. He never wanted to come back. "I've just been on a break here and there," He said, trying to seem convincing.
"Really? Where are you staying? Apparently not in the city, considering your way out here in the country." She said, eyeing him suspiciously. Jefferson scratched his head. "I have family here. I'm actually here with some of them now," He lied once more.
"Oh, really? Where?" She asked, looking through the aisles. Nina was like a messenger. One thing she thought was off, She'd go back and tell the crips about Jefferson trying to run away from the gang. Anyone who'd tried to run away, would get seriouse consequences - the worst - death.
"Somewhere, I don't know."
"Well, what're you doing later? I'm gonna be out here for the weekend, maybe we can chill, you know?"
"Naw, I'm okay."
"What do you mean your okay? Is everything alright?"
Jefferson swallowed. "Y-yeah..everything's fine..."

Stephanie was picking out clothes with Mya and trying on a variety of different outfits, but she kept her eye out on Jeff. She was trying to pick something that he would like, but it was hard when she didn't know that much about him. Letting out a sigh she moved to the other side of the store just in time to catch Jeff mingling with another girl that Steph has never seen before. Mya came up behind Steph with a glare in her eyes. She turned around and tried to keep Mya from doing anything stupid.
"No Mya. Let's just leave them," Stephanie tried to say, but Mya was pushing her towards them.
"No Steph! Mark your territory," she encouraged while pushing Mya towards them. Steph looked back at he girl he was talking to and was even more discouraged. The girl had the body of a model and Steph was stuck with a farmers look. Now she wanted to hide.
"Mya this isn't a goo-," Just then she crashed right into Jeff from behind. Blushing deeply she hung her head down. "Hey, sorry about that." Mya looked back up and looked at the girl and then at Jeff. "I'll just leave you two alone," she said as she turned to leave. Mya was disappointed, but Steph knew better than to make a fool of herself.

As Jefferson started to break, and seem obvious, Step had suddenly bumped into him at perfect timing. "Hey, sorry about that. I'll just leave you two alone,"
Nina looked at Stephanie like she was crazy, and was ready to say something rude. Jefferson didn't like the way Nina looked at her. He knew Nina could get extremely crazy, even with a random stranger. "Ah, Stephanie, there you are." He said, quickly trying change the subject. "Nina, this, this is Stephanie." He said, being picky of what information he gave Nina, because it would go right back to the guys. Nina eyed Stephanie up and down, and rolled her eyes, refusing to shake her hand. All she said was "Charmed," and looked the other way as though the air had more interest than her. Jefferson stared at Nina, then turned to Stephanie. "Steph, Mya, this is Nina. She's an old friend of mine." He said, being picky as to what information he shared to Steph also.

Stephanie was pulled back towards them to be introduced to the girl, Nina. Steph gave a pathetic wave and they way Nina said charmed kind of irritated her. Idiots at her school spoke to her this way and she wasn't going to take that from anyone. Jeff intodruced Mya as well, but she didn't stay long. Once Mya saw her she rolled her eyes and walked away. She wasn't good at making friends outside of school. Mya continued shopping leaving Steph with the two friends. It was awkward, but she would quickly get over it. She held a few differents outfits in her hand and she thought of the perfect escape for herself. "So I need ti try these on. You can continue this without me and then we can go," she said walking away from them right past Nina. She didn't want to be there any longer and Jeff unintentionally made it awkward. Near the dressing rooms Mya showed up next to her.
"I don't like her," Steph said.
"She doesn't like you either," Mya replied with a laugh.
"Good."

Stephanie went into the dresing room to try things in and Mya did the same thing.

"So I need to try these on. You can continue this without me and then we can go," Stephanie said, walking right past Nina and back where she was. As she walked away, Nina began to glare at her as if she was a piece of bait. Jefferson quickly intervened, "Well, okay, Nina, I'll see you around, okay? It was nice seeing you again, huh?" He smiled, and sort of pushed her towards the exit of the store. "Who do they think they are?" She questioned, forcing herself back into the store. Nina wasn't buying that they were just friends, or even family. She wanted to start mayhem. "Nina, please," He said, grabbing her by the waist and pushing her back. Jefferson's cheeks became red as people became to glance at what was going on. "Aye, you!" Nina rawred over the store at Stephanie. "Nina, stop it." He said sternly, now. "Who is she, huh? Does she know who I am?" Nina tossed her drink into a nearby trash, giving her more force against Jefferson. They were always close, but Jefferson didn't like the fact that she liked to start havoc.
Nina started ranting, and babbling as she always did. Jefferson picked her up, and carried her outside the store. Nina yelled at him to let her go. "I asked who does she think she is -"
"She's my girlfriend!" Jefferson told her, not realizing what was shooting out his mouth. "She's my girlfriend, alright?" He said, sitting Nina down. Nina's eye then became wide, and her mouth shot open.
"Forreal? Are you serious?"
Jefferson hesitantly nodded. "Y-yes, she is." Jefferson didn't know what he had done, but apparently it calmed Nina down. A huge smile slide across Nina's face. "Aww!" She cheered. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Jefferson ran his fingers through his hair and looked down to the ground, and shrugged.

"She's adorable! You two are adorable!" She clapped. Jefferson's cheeks suddenly turned slightly red, and he shoot it off with a wave. "Okay, Nina, now can you go?"
"No! I want to reintroduce myself!"
"No..it's not necessary..." Jefferson murmured to her. He could tell that Stephanie already had her impression on her, and didn't want neither Mya nor Stephanie to come face to face after that tense yet awkward greet.
"So, if you don't mind," Jefferson said, backing to the store.
"Oh, fine!" Nina said, giving Jefferson a huge hug. "Call me! Do you have my number?"
"No." He said, remembering even if he did, he couldn't come in contact with her.
"Well here it is," She said, writing on a receipt paper and handing it to him. Jefferson didn't want nor need it, but he stuffed it into his pocket anyway, just to get Nina away. "Arlight Nina," He said, backing to the store.

He walked back in, and saw Stephanie and Mya towards the back. He approached Stephanie from behind closely, in a playfully, with his hands in his pocket. He smiled. She may or may not have seen him, but he tickled her one her waist gently.

Stephanie had tried everything on and was waiting for Mya to finish. She had gotten more clothes than her so she was taking long. She leaned against the wall when she heard shouting. "Aye, you!" Clearly the psycho Steph had just met was talking to her, but she didn't turn around. The last time she was in a fight her father made her wash the coop. And when he found that she had won the fight, she had to clean the entire stables spotless. Stephanie learned not to get in fights and if she did, not to tell her dad.

Then it was silenced and she was grateful the girl didn't come up to her because she wasn't in the mood for a fight. After a while longer she was dozing off. "Mya hurry up," she yelled at her bestfriend. Then all of a sudden someone was tickling her waist and she let out a laugh. She bounced away and saw that is was Jeff. She scoffed and gently punched his arm. Running her hand through her hair she looked behind him to see that she had left. "Good she is gone. I don't like fighting people," she said looking back at him.
"Who was she anyway? An old girlfriend?" She asked with a tiny bit of jealousy.

"Good she is gone. I don't like fighting people," Jefferson shook his head with a smile. "Well, unfortunately she does.." He whispered with a sigh. "Who was she anyway? An old girlfriend?" Stephanie asked. Jefferson could tell that she felt a certain way about it. Jefferson cleared his through, and quickly explained. "No, her and I grew up together...and sort of hung around the same crowd, I guess you can say." He placed both of his hands in his pocket, then shrugged. "I guess she may have liked me in the past..." Jefferson's voice trailed off as he thought about last summer. "But I was never interested in her to much," He said.
"So, did you two find any cute clothes yet?" He said, changing the subject quickly.

Stephanie still didn't like her whether or not her and Jeff were friends. He described his relationship with her briefly before changing the subject. She didn't want to talk about it anyway, but she was still skeptical of the girl. "So, did you two find any cute clothes yet?" Just then Mya walked out of the dressing room with less clothes than she had going in. Stephanie shifted her gaze towards Mya and then back at Jeff. "Yep. But now Mya has to pay because I bought mine already," Stephanie said while grabbing Mya's car keys from her pocket. "Meet ya in the car!" Stephanie linked arms with Jeff and walked towards the exit of the store. There was no longer a reason to stay and buy clothes.

"So about the party. It is not that serious it is just a barn party," Stephanie said. She wasn't the only one that owned a barn, but she was the only one with a farmer as a dad. Some people just wanted the barn. "So don't over dress or dance with people that aren't me," she added in jokingly.

Stephanie had explained how she already paid for her's, and Mya walked out in a revealing outfit. Jefferson was curious as to what Stephanie's outfit looked like. She clung onto him and they made their way to the car. "So about the party. It is not that serious it is just a barn party," Jefferson never went to a barn party. How interesting. "So don't over dress or dance with people that aren't me," She said. Jefferson looked her in the eyes with a chuckle. "Oh, you don't have to worry about that.." He said, leaning closer into her. He carefully held both of her hands as he nearly pressed his body to hers. He looked down at her, and his eyes became more calmed. "The only person I would be dancing with is you." He added. His hair dangled over his eyes, and he hated that. He took one hand off Stephanie's and combed his finger's through his hair, in attempted to set it back. But it stubbornly fell back in between his eyes. He looked at Stephanie and chuckled as she watched. "I hate my hair," He chuckled softly, as he tried one more time to remove it from his eyes.

Stephanie liked being close to him. He was sweet and super hot. "Oh, you don't have to worry about that.." She nodded and the walked towards the mall entrance. He was moving closer to and pressed his body into hers. He looked down at her and she looked up at him. "The only person I would be dancing with is you." His eyes were so gentle and calm. Her hands were in his and this moment was a bit too perfect. Just then his hair fell and dangled over his eyes. It was adorable, but he didn't see it that way. He moved that strand back to its original spot, but it came right back down. She let out a giggle. "I hate my hair,"

Stephanie shook her head and moved his hand out of the way. She started messing with it as her hand moved through his hand. They were still pretty close which made it easier to do so. She moved her hand, but it fell back down. "Your hair is a bit rebellious," she said with a laugh.
