No Day but Today

"Oh no?" Evan grinned "What else would you like to do?"

Angel led Evan back over to wear she had laid out a blanket eariler.

"Could we just.....lie here for a while, just us?" Angel asked.

"Of course..." Evan murmured, laying down and pulling Angel into his lap "As long as you like."

"I did arrange one other thing for us though," Angel murmured.

"What's that?" Evan whispered

"I talked to a friend of mine that owns some horses. Angel said. "It's always been my dream to go horseback riding on a beach at sunset."

"Horses?" Evan's eyes grew wide "I've never ridden a horse before..."

"Relax Evan, I'm gonna be right there with you," Angel said.

"Okay.." Evan smiled softly "As long as you're with me, I'll try."

"It's not that hard Evan, they're really gentle animals." Angel said.

Despite Angel's reassurances, Evan was still skittish when the horses arrived, he'd never been this close to one in his entire life. Angel got on first and then it was Evan's turn.

"Baby...I don't know..." Evan eyed the animal warily "I don't think he likes me very much."

"He knows you're nervous, and that scares him. Angel replied. "Just relax and you'll be fine.

"Alright..." Evan took a deep breath and tried to calm down before getting up onto the horse with the handler's help. Apparently though he wasn't calm enough because the horse almost instantly began to buck and whinny, sending Evan into a panic

"Angel!!!" his eyes were wide "What do I do? Help!"

"Evan, just calm down, he's still scared because you're still scared," Angel said. Leading her horse over to her friend she took a sugar cube from them and headed back towards Evan to give the paniced horse the small treat to relax it.

Evan's horse bucked just as Angel came over. Not expecting the sudden motion, Evan flew out of the saddle, did a backwards flip and landed face first in the sand!

Angel jumped down off her horse almost instantly and rushed to Evan's side. "Eva, Evan baby are you okay?" Angel asked.

Evan groaned and turned over, revealing a nasty bruise forming on his forehead "My head hurts..." he groaned "I think I hit a rock..."

Angel chuckled softly, just because she knew how badly that could have ended. "You've got a pretty hard head, you'll live." Angel joked.

"Not funny, not funny at all..." Evan groaned as he sat up "Angel I love you but I don't think this horse riding thing is going to work out for me."

"It's alright, you tried and that's enough for me," Angel smiled.

Evan smiled when Angel gave him a kiss "I love you baby"

"I love you too," Angel smiled.
