Ride

"Do you really know horse riding Zav?" her grandma asked.

"Yes grandma. Don't worry."

She just wanted that her grandma would be reassured. At the stable she go to get a horse to ride.

"Mang Sendo that one. I want that one."

Apollo is the horse she is pointing to. A good looking horse. One with white in color and has long tail. Its tail hair is dark gold.

"No ma'am not that one. Apollo isn't very used having someone riding on its back. That horse might drop you."

"But I want that one," Zaviah insisted.

She still go on to her choice Eventhough that Mang Sendo warned her.

"Zav immediately approached Apollo to go up. And lead out the horse of the stable. She was used to riding a horse. She was been to the province with her classmate in college. They often had horse riding up the hill so she learned to ride a horse.

"Haaaa!"

Zav made a quick slap on Apollo's ass. And the horse also ran away fast. Wherever she goes, that's what she doesn't know. She supposed to go to the stream. But just where Apollo's feet would take her, that's where she's going. Until she realized that the horse was speeding too fast. She could no longer control it. She tightened her grip on the reins but Apollo ignored it. She was starting to get nervous, especially since she was still on the edge of the ravine. She wanted to stop it because she was no longer in the land covered of the Mondragons. She remembered the precipice part. It may have been in the opening of the Villaverde lands. Apollo was still running fast. Fortunately, she did not expect the horse to slow down and stop running. She rolled her eyes around. She saw the horse smooth and reddish brown in color. Dark hair with beautiful pair of legs. It is tied to the tree.

"You're lucky because Feony and I are here." the man's voice came out on the back side of the tree.

That man refers to Feony, his female horse. Zaviah did not recognize immediately, the man was in his cowboy hat covered half of his face.

"I can't control Apollo anymore."

"You owe me again."

Zav already recognized the man talking as Miguel removed the cowboy hat he was wearing on. He became even more handsome to look at in his cowboy looks. It's a jacket and cowboy shoes. It's also up to his that he let his hair fall back, which is still slightly curly.

"It's you Miguel "

"Yes, it's me. Didn't anyone tell you that Apollo shouldn't be the horse you're riding on?"

"Apollo looks gentle so I chose that horse."

"That's the horse ridden by the man who murdered one of our men.

He was not sure because the horse was already a little farther away when he arrived at the crime scene.

"You're making a serious accusation."

"No one else likely to do that but those on the side of Mondragon. And surely it was Don Rafael orders.

Zaviah's ear began to tingle at what the man in front of her had said. In her understanding, it was like that a crime suspect were one of Mondragons who killed the character mentioned by Miguel.

"Did you know that here you are again stepping on the ground of the mortal enemy of your race."

Zaviah suddenly remembered that he was in the land of the Villaverdes. The man who once helped her may do something bad to her.

"Am I not safe in this place because I am a Mondragon, is that so Mr. Miguel Villaverde?"

Zaviah wants to emphasize the surnames they both carry. And she remembered the former land of Mondragon they were treading on. Celestina only claimed it from her great -grandparents.

"You're the only one of the Mondragons who dares to come here."

"Do you also know the story of this land? That it used to belong to our ancestors. Celestina was a savage and a robber so you claimed this land."

Zaviah's words became violent. She didn't care what she said as long as she was telling the truth. The important thing is that she can slap on the truth to Miguel's face.

"Oh, come on Miss Mondragon it isn't easy for us to argue here the things that should be in court."

"The justice here in this town is yours Mr. Villaverde."

"You seem to have judged me by the tone of your speech. I'm bad, aren't I. So bad things can happen to you now because you're alone. Apollo just brought you to this land, isn't it? So no one knows anymore that you are here."

Zaviah's hand suddenly went cold. Many things can happen to her. She realizes no one is coming to rescue her. Even if she will shout on a most strident voice no one could hear.

"So be nice to me lady," Miguel said smiling at her.

She saw Miguel's demonic smile. It made her heart trembled fast. Slowly approaching while staring her sticky. But why is that demonic smile become so sexy in her eyes as she also stared at it. Zaviah got hypnotized. She did not even move away from where she is standing.

"Don't even try to come any closer," she warned Miguel.

"Now I believe that what is said is contrary what is felt. You could have run away but you didn't lady."

Zaviah was annoyed by what he heard so her right hand immediately landed on Miguel's check. And it also turned to the right as she have done slapping.

"I have told you. But you really tried me."

"You impressed me even more. Then I deserved a kiss after that strong slap to my face."

Not just a kiss but a torrid one to her smooth lips. Every stroke of its tongue is delicious. Almost she forgot that she's kissing with the enemy. She was just dilated when she was pushed slightly by Miguel.

"There are no good people left among all of you Villaverdes." Zaviah quickly turned away as she spoke.

He couldn't help but feel embarrassed as well. That a man is insulting her even more.

"Is it because you were hanged. All right, how far do you want it to go? Tell me, I'll give it again to you," Miguel replied.

"Damm it, Mr. Villaverde."

She turned her back on the person she was talking with, she didn't even hears anything good to her ears. She supposed to ride up to Apollo's back. But before she does Miguel said something again that caught her attention.

"Are you interested in getting to know Stella's son. I could help you mia amor."

She immediately turned her face, to what has Miguel said. Was it an idea that pointed out or was it also a trap for her.

So it's a non-sense, she must go ride up to Apollo and go back to the mansion. Before she could get on the horse backs he was pulled down again.

"I'll take you to the gate of the Mondragons' mansion. My men will also send Apollo to mansion later. I want you to be home safe. And in that way you can say, there are still good people among the Villaverdes."

"Okay. I hope I can go home alive to the mansion. Because I'm also not sure if I'll be able to go home safely if I'm on Apollo.

"Exactly, you got it."

There was a silence as they rode Feony's back. She couldn't help but hug Miguel's waist because the horse also seemed to be trying to run fast.

"Thanks," Zaviah said gratefully.

She stepped down but still she didn't look directly into Miguel's eyes. She didn't know why she don't like that their eyes meet staring at each other.

"Think hard about Stella's son."

Feony quickly ran away with Miguel on its back. Zav entered the mansion. She saw that the guards had already opened the gate for her.

"Please take Apollo to the stable. Vilaverdes men will bring that horse here," she instructed the guards.
