《The Bet (Lesbian Story)》Chapter 8

Advertisement

I looked at my phone for he umpteenth time in this past half hour. Amy hadn't returned my text. I didn't know why I cared, but frankly I was freaking about it.

It had been a full day since I sent her this message. No one had ever taken so long to answer me and it was pissing me off. Uhg, why did a care anyway? No, I didn't care. Of course I didn't I was just pissed because she had the nerve to ignore me. Go, I hated her. I hated everything about her.

I walked in circles and stopped at my bedside desk. I opened the drawer and once again grabbed the thick stack of papers Daniel had sent me last night. Basically the company is in my father's name now but Daniel had until December 31 to get it back if he wanted. If I didn't keep my end of the deal he would.

I needed something to do, I couldn't just lie in bed looking at my phone waiting for her to reply my message. I got up and quickly left the house, my mom and dad were away at a business trip and I wasn't in the mood for staying in alone.

I got into my car and drove off. I got on the road, leaving town. There was just one place I wanted to go right now. I drove for a while, in silence. Opening the window I breathed in the smell of nature and smiled.

My family had a farm right outside the city. Since I was young I had always loved horses, so my dad bought me one, his name was Espectro. He was a beautiful black Friesian Horse, and my baby. He was given to me when I was 10 and he was still a foal. He was a very loyal animal, it was unfortunate that he stayed so far away. But every time I had the chance I would go to the farm and take him for a ride.

I got to the farm fairly quickly given that that was no transit on the way there. I parked my car right next to the stables and got out of the car. Espectro wasn't in his stall so I figured the farm boy must have set him free to roam for a little while. I put on my boots and horse riding pants and grabbed my helmet. I walked into the field and holding two fingers into my mouth I whistled loudly. Not many seconds passed and I heard the sound of hooves coming closer. I smiled, soon enough I saw the huge black horse trotting towards me. Once he saw it was me he quickened up his pace to a run. It may sound weird but sometimes I could swear he actually had thoughts, who knows, maybe he did. He was at my side in no time, I smiled and patted his head.

"Hey boy." I said bringing him to the stables and putting his gear on.

I quickly got on his side and jumped on top of him straddling him. Even before I told him to he already started to trot towards the field, I laughed petting his neck.

"I know boy, it's been a while since I last came here." I said and he whinnied loudly in response. I rolled my eyes.

"Ya! Come on boy!" I shouted and he started to run.

I felt the wind blowing in my face. Espectro ran with all his might, I could smell the smell of nature, feel the air, the adrenaline running through my veins. It was always like that when I rode. I felt free, no "friends" to worry about, no popularity, no classes... it was the best feeling ever. Here and now I was just Katherine, not the popular girl at school, not the daughter of millionaires, just Katherine.

I even closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling. Espectro was so used with the farm that he knew exactly where to go, not going through low branches that could hurt me, and I felt perfectly comfortable closing my eyes and letting him take the lead.

I rode for what it seemed like hours. After a while I realized that had to go back. I guided Espectro to the stables and started to take off his gear. He was damped in sweat but still he seemed happy like a puppy. I grabbed a hose and washed him, he must have been burning hot. We had ridden until sundown.

After washing him I gently brushed him and them finally took him to his stall. After he was tucked in I gave him a big carrot and kissed his snout.

"Don't worry boy, I'll come back soon. I promise." I petted his head and went away to my car.

I sat down in the driver seat and noticed that I had left my cellphone on the passenger seat. I quickly grabbed it and turned on the screen. My heart dropped when I saw it. Nothing, no message, no missed call, nothing. I laid my head back down and closed my eyes breathing deeply. Why the hell did I care?

I shook my head as I started the car. The only reason I cared was because I should be working on making her fall for me, that's all. Yeah, that's it. I drove off heading home, I had nothing else to do anyway.

The ride home was fairly longer than the ride to the farm. There was more traffic but frankly I wasn't exactly in a hurry to get home. I got home after about one hour of driving, the house felt uncomfortably empty without my parents.

I walked to the kitchen quickly making a snack and going up to my bedroom. There wasn't much to do. Sundays were always like that. I turned the TV on and flipped through the channels searching for something to watch and kill time. There wasn't much going on so I settled for a Family Guy marathon.

I couldn't help but to steal quick glances at my phone now and then, and each time I did it I'd grow more and more annoyed. She hadn't answered me yet. I couldn't quite place my feelings right now. I was slightly sad by being rejected by a nobody such as Amy Addams but most of all I felt anger. How dare she? Doesn't she know who the hell I am? She should be thanking the gods I was even willing to talk to her! I shook my head throwing my cellphone at the other side of the bed. I couldn't wait to crush her, that'd teach her a lesson. No one ignored me like that.

Time passed by painfully slowly and I began to grow bored of watching TV. It was still too early to go to sleep and there was nothing to do. I sighed. Could this day get any worse?

I got up and went to the small desk in the corner of my bedroom. I grabbed an old sketchbook I had and a pencil. It had been ages since I last drew something, I used to be so passionate about it but when popularity and more important things came along I just stopped.

I traced long shy lines along the blank white paper slowly forming a pattern. I always started by drawing geometric figures, a big oval ball for the body, a smaller one for the neck, a perfect circle for the head and a smaller one for the snout. Slowly the drawing began to take form and the geometric forms gave place to a more intricate and meticulous work. Soon enough I was looking at a perfect drawing of Espectro on the top of a hill with his front hooves in the air. I looked down at the paper happy with my work.

I sighed now extremely bored again. It was at times like these that I wish I actually had someone to talk to, not people like my so-called "friends". The truth was that, actually, I had no friends. No real friends that is, it was quite pathetic actually. But of course I would never admit it to anyone, I barely admitted it to myself.

Of course there were the days, like today, that I'd mop around the house feeling sorry for myself. Gladly it wasn't often. I lied flat on my bed and looked at the floor, just thinking, trying to pass the time. I then felt my phone vibrate at the side of the bed and I basically jumped towards it.

"Hey girl, what are you wearing tomorrow??" The screen read "Sarah". I almost growled and rolled my eyes and once again tossed my phone at the side of the bed. It was weird because I actually thought it was Amy and it pissed me off. What the hell was happening to me? I'll tell you, You're going fucking insane! I thought.

I turned on my radio plugging in my I-pod and blasting Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody at top volume. It was quite comforting to being able to listen to something I really liked. When I was with my friends I had to stand the awful music of today, it was excruciating. The beat was always the same and the lyrics were absolutely awful. I mean, One Direction, Justin Bieber, Pitbull, Chris Brown? To be honest this wasn't music, it was bullshit.

Most of the songs talked about how women are just mere objects and the others that were slightly more tolerable always said the same thing, they had no depth and no true meaning.

I closed my eyes taking in Fred's voice, boy that guy could sing! I hummed with the song and as each song passed by I got more and more relaxed. Before I could stop myself I fell into a peaceful sleep. No dreams, just a comforting and restoring sleep.

I woke up reluctantly, the sun had already set and I looked at the digital clock in my bedside table. I had slept for 3 whole hours, by the gods I was tired. Not sure why though, maybe stress. I sighed and lied down closing my eyes, slowly pushing my sleep away.

Once I gathered enough power of will I got up and crawled to the side of my bed grabbing my phone. I had 5 unread messages and 2 missed calls. Dammit Sarah, she was a stalker. I groaned as I slowly looked through the messages bored out of my mind. I passed by each one of them not surprised that she had nothing important to tell me.

When I got to the last text though my heart sped up and I quickly flipped it open.

Amy's name was showing big on the screen.

"It's ok, don't worry about it. We should really get started on this project, I'm glad you decided to help." My anger towards her slowly subsided as I read the message over and over again.

I closed my eyes forcefully burying my thoughts in the back of my head and locking them away. I had a mission to accomplish, and I would do it gladly. I smirked to myself.
