Open Your Heart{IC}

Natalie looked girl and moved back a little. She paused to look at Nicholas and listen before she glanced at the girl.“What do you want to know?” she asked as she rolled her shoulders back. Then she looked at the girl. “Watch carefully,” she said as she gently put the bridle on the horse tightening it up a bit. “When you tighten it don’t do it too tightly, or you will hurt the horse,” she said and took the bridle off very slowly. “When you taking the bridle off you have to be gently like your holding a newborn or something that is fragile,” she said before she push the girl gently in front of her.

Then she stood behind her and wrapped her arms slightly around her as she helped Angie put the bridle on the horse. She did blush a little though when her body brushed against the girls. After she finished she moved away from the girl and petted the horse. “That’s how you put it on. I’ll show you how to take it off later,” she said gently and took the end of the bridle. Natalie then slowly led Blake out of the stall. “Please close the stall door when you come out and this is Blake,” she said referring to the horse.

[Angleaya Z.]

Angie shrugged, "Well...how old are you?" It wasn't a very in depth question but it was enough to move the focus from herself. She watched as the girl showed her how to put on and take off the horse's bridle and nodded. It didn't look too difficult. She lost her train of thought when the girl wrapped her arms around her to show her how to do it properly. After shaking her head slightly she followed her out of the stall, making sure to close the gate like she had asked.

[mummydove]

“I’m twenty one,” she said and led the horse outside. Once the girl followed she shut the barn door. “Well were going to take Blake for a walk today,” she said as she walked to the edge of the forest. Once she knew the girl was following she began to follow a smooth dirt path quietly.

She enjoyed listening to everything around her like the birds singing and the wind rustling the leaves. After a while she took a left turn and kept walking for a while before she stopped at a clear lake. She took the bridle off the horse and let her take a drink. Natalie looked around as she took in her surroundings. It was nice and quiet except for a few sounds.

[Angleaya Z.]

Angie nodded and walked with her. 21. So the girl wasn't that much older than her. She followed her down the path. to the lake. She looked around before sitting near the edge of the water. "I've never seen anything like this." She said, though it was unclear if her tone was uncaring or aw-filled. She wasn't aloud to go outside much, so it wasn't too much of a shock that it only took a few minutes to find something unusual.

After a moment of sitting there the phone in her pocket buzzed, causing her to forget the beautiful scene in front of her. The text was informing her that her fiance would be picking her up from the lesson so they could go out to eat, of course her butler would be there before he was to give her a change of clothes.

[mummydove]

Natalie nodded and smiled. "I guess I'll show you more of this when I can," she said and slowly sat down next to the girl nervously. She found it a bit odd, but stayed sitting there till she calmed down. Then she blinked as she took her phone out. "Umm okay here is a rule no phone during class so I'll keep it in a safe spot for you," she said as she turned around and groaned softly. It was the kittens.

The two of them meowed and walked up to her purring. Natalie picked the white one up first before she picked the black one up to place them in her lap. "The white one is a girl named Demon and the black one is a boy named Snow," she said and stroked the purring kittens. She enjoyed there company they made her feel better when she got lonely. After a while Natalie looked at Angie and put Snow in her lap. "He's sweet and be careful he likes to nibble fingers," she said as she stroked Demon. "Umm...how old is your soon to be husband?" she asked quietly.

Damien shrugged before walking over to the cash register on the other side of the room, he punched in what he needed and rung up the shirt before paying for it and getting his change. He smirked to himself slightly, glad that he had worked with his sister a couple of times..speaking of. He shook his head slightly and ran a hand through his hair as he walked out from behind the counter and over to Ronni.

"Don't bother." He looked at Ronni for a minute, his dark orbs staring into his, he wanted to say something, mostly something about not messing with his sister but he shrugged it off and headed back towards the stairs, sighing a bit at the realization that he would have to buy another chocolate bar now, "I'm gone..." He said as he walked down the stairs and headed to the door, he stopped and went to give his sister a very quick hug before leaving out and heading to the nearest candy store.

[Angleaya Z.]

Angie looked at her a moment before speaking, "No...I'll just put it away." She said as she put it in her pocket. She was never with out her phone, her mother had bought it for her specificly so she would always have contact and she wasn't about to make their one fight about a phone. She looked behind her to see a kitten. A smiled apeared on her lips before picking up one of the kittens. "There so soft." She said quietly.

She looke up quickly when she asked about her future husband. "He's about to be..." A paused interupted her sentance as she thought. "20." She smiled and looked back down to the kitten. "Why do you ask?"
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ronni watched the boy walk away and waited until he left to move. He sighed and walked out of the store to his car. He was dreading going home but he was in no shape to fight back. He drove home slower than he normally would have and took his time walking in the door. The fight, if you can even call it that, started almost immediatly.

He was aloud back into his room a full hour later. After carefully laying on his bed he took the phone out of his pocket to look at the time. His brother would be home soon and he would hopefully be able to convince him to give the boy back the money for the shirt, there was no way he'd be in moving condition by tomorrow.

“Well you need to turn it off then because it spooks the horses and when you get in the riding outfit you won’t have a place to put it,” she said. Then she smiled. “Yeah they are,” she said as she stood slowly and put the other kitten in her lap. She laughed softly when she paused to think. “Wow…” she said out loud shaking her head. Then she looked at her. “Oh I’m just curious…and later I have to see your size and take your measurements,” she said.

Natalie undid her hair and striped down to her bra and underwear. Then she entered the lake and began to swim. The lake was clean so she didn’t mind swimming in it. After a while she came up for air and gasp softly as she looked at Angie. “The water is nice,” she said before she drove back in the water it was nice and cool.

Cylar groaned some as he reached around for the buzzing nuisance that was his cell phone, the annoying thing had woken him from his sleep and he prayed that whoever it was had something important to say. He finally found it after throwing some pillows around, he flipped it open and held it to his ear as he gave a grunt as a hello; after a few minutes of listening to the person speak he recognized the voice to be his boss' and sat up as he started to listen intently. He gave a sort of sigh, he thought he was being fired or something but he was just needed to come in to cover for someone else, "Be there shortly..." He answered, sleep still evident in his voice. He hung up the phone and gave a stretch and a groan before climbing out of bed and going to get ready, tripping over a few things in the process.

It didn't take him long to get ready and about an hour later, maybe a bit more, he was walking into the front of the restaurant; tying his long red hair up into a messy bun and straightening out his uniform as he went to get his apron and talk to his boss about the tables he was covering.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bryce sighed boredly as he placed his arms on the counter infront of him and then propped his chin up on his palms, a soft pout on his face as his dark blue orbs scanned the area of the small bakery and icecream shop and then out to the mall area, 'There's no one interesting here today...' He thought before putting on a smile as a woman and her son came up to order something. He served them their icecream before going back to moping and looking around the crowd, "I wonder what he's doing..." He mumbled outloud to himself as he thought about his ex-boyfriend.

[Angleaya Z.]

Angie nodded to the phone comment, not caring too much as she held the kitten in her hands. When she heard the girl say 'wow' she was going to ask what she meant by that but decided against it, it's not like it really even mattered. A look of confusion washed over her face when Natalie started to strip before entering. She didn't have a problem with swimming but, to her, this was weird in an awkward kind of way. "Um..." Was all she said when the girl came back up.

Danni took an order and walked to the kitchen. A red head caught his eye, but only briefly. Had he just gotten here? He shook his head, figuring that he didn't really have time to figure out when his co-worker had arrived. After grabbing a tray of plates he made his way over to another table, passing Cylar as he did so.

Most people would complain about having to work all day, but he was more than thankful, it kept him from his father most of the time. He wondered how his brother was doing, normally he got home around the same time from being with friends.

[AriesChan]

Cylar smiled slightly once he was finished talking to his boss, he had to wonder why he was such a nice guy, why couldn't he say 'no and keep sleeping. He looked around for his friend but figured he didn't work today after not seeing him in his usual spot, behind the counter. He gave a sigh and rolled his shoulders as he went over to one of his customers, giving a smile to one of his co-workers, Danni he believed his name was. He was never good with names or faces but there was something about Danni...

He gave a smile as he greeted the customer and then took their order, 'I wonder if I'm getting paid double for this...' He though as he scribbled onto the pad only half listened before nodding and turning back around.

[Angleaya Z.]

Danni delivered the food and took the empty plates away. He had a moment to himself so he checked his phone. No new messages, not that it was too surprising. He groaned and leaned against the wall, even though he was happy that he didn't have to go home, his feet still hurt after walking back and forth for hours.

He looked at the time, it was about three, meaning that he still had three hours to go.

[AriesChan]

Cylar handed over the order and went to check on the other tables, apparently the person he was covering for had been working earlier because they still had some customers. After checking to see if they were alright he went to go wait at the bar on the other side of the restaurant like he normally did with Keiryn. He took a seat on one of the stools and leaned back aganst the counter as his dark orbs scanned the crowd, most of his attention on his tables, of course...it always amazed him how crowded this place could get.

As he scanned the room, his eyes landed on Danni who was just a little ways from him. He looked him over a bit before turning away, now that he actually studied the boy, he realized he was infact cute...which is probably why he remembered him so easily; however, he did look a bit too young for him and most likely was. He pouted slightly at the thought as he focused his attention else where.

[Angleaya Z.]

Danni put his phone back when the cook yelled that the food was done. He grabbed the tray and made his way to the next table. He made sure all of his tables had full glasses and didn't need anything before returning to the back. He walked over to Cylar, seeing nothing better to do at the moment. "Hey, I didn't know you worked today." He said, trying to start a conversation.

[AriesChan]

Cylar smiled slightly as the blonde approached him, "Usually I don't...apparently there was some sort of emergency and they needed an extra hand." He smiled up at him again before nodding his head to the stool beside him, "Take a seat, I don't bite." The corner of his lips twitched slightly as he felt the urge to smirk but he controlled himself as he watched him.

[Angleaya Z.]

Dru smiled before taking a seat. It hit him that he had never really talked to this guy, in fact he didn't really know anything about him, unless you count his name of course. He was trying to think of something to say, but the only things that were comming up were weird topics that wouldn't recive too much of a responce. "Soooo..." He said away from Cylar as he spoke.

[mummydove]

After the ride stopped he jumped off the horse and walked off. He ran his fingers threw his hair as he looked around. He wanted something sweet. Nicholas walked around for a while before he entered a shop. He smiled as he watched a woman and son order ice cream. He watched the worker mumble something though he couldn’t hear what he said. Nicholas walked up to the boy with purple hair and smiled at him. “Hello, what’s your name?” he said curiously. Then he looked at the menu. After that he looked back at the boy. “Oh I’ll have a Chocolate Sunday and a bowl of cherries please,” he said before he glanced around.

---

Natalie swam for a while before she got out. She ran her fingers threw her hair and looked down at Angie. “Umm we should go and get you measured and everything,” she said as she squeezed the water out of her hair. After a while when she dried off she got dressed again and did her hair back to how it was. She walked over to the horse. She put the bridle back on before she took the kittens from Angie. Natalie put the kittens on the horse; she knew they wouldn’t hurt Blake. “Come on Angie,” she said. Then she led Blake back to the stables taking her time. When she entered the stables she waited for Angie in Blake’s stall.

[AriesChan]

Bryce blinked slightly as a boy around his age approached the counter, a light blush appearing on his face when he was asked his name, "I'm Bryce and you are?" He asked in a slightly flirtatous tone as he moved a finger around in circles on the counter and looked over the boy's body, he wasn't bad looking...not at all. He was soon reminded that he was still at work when the boy ordered, with a light pout he turned away from the counter and went to make the sundae, he ran over to the door leading back where the cakes and everything were being made and called for some more cherries; smiling he took the bag of cherries from his co-worker and added them to the container before putting some in a bowl. He went to punch in the prices and grabbed a spoon and a napkin for him and smiled as he told him the price

~~~~~

Cylare smiled slightly to Danni before speaking, "You must enjoy working here, I don't think anyone stays here as much as you do and you're one of the few people the boss praises...though I'm sure you must have some hobbies outside of work?" He tilted his head slightly as he looked at Danni, eyes scanning over his body again for a second before landing back on his face, "I enjoy cooking, though the only person that's really tried it is my brother..sports is alright too...writing..." He trailed off a bit, stopping himself before he started to ramble.

[mummydove]

Nicholas smiled when he blushed, he found it cute. “I’m Nicholas nice to meet you Bryce,” he said. He watched the boy, looking him over before he was aware of what he was doing. Nicholas looked away slightly embarrassed. Though when the boy came back he looked at him and smiled back. He took his wallet out and gave the boy the money with a three dollar tip. “Keep the change Bryce,” he said before he took his sweets and looked around. He sat at a small table close to where Bryce was at. Nicholas then began to eat his Sundae taking his time. He glanced at Bryce and gave a small smile before he went back to eating his Sundae. It was yummy. Nicholas hadn't notice when he took his sweets he put his wallet in their place.

[AriesChan]

Bryce grinned as he watched Nicholas go take a seat that was close to the counter, if he wasn't at work he would have done a little jump for joy or a victory dance, but he was not about to embarass himself in front of someone that could possibly be a potential boyfriend. Instead, he clapped his hands together in joy before going back to leaning on the counter and staring out at the crowd...he'd be getting off soon, maybe he'd ask for Nicholas' number? He couldn't help but smile but then a thought of his ex crossed his mind and he was back to pouting. During his little mope session he notxied a wallet on the counter and blinked before realizing it must be his. He grabbed it and walked through the 'employees only' doorand over to Nicholas' table.

"Umm..hey. I think you forgot something back there." He grinned as he leaned over the table and placed the wallet in front of Nicholas
