Elaine slaped his shoulder lightly. "fine, but next time I'll pay" she tells him before following him into the truck.

"Not a chance." He says, pulling into the rescue. He glanced over at her again, gazing at her eyes. When she caught him looking, he quickly looked away. He got out and went to open her door, grabbed the groceries, and walked inside.

Elaine glares at him. "At least let me pay you back" she says. She then shoves a few wads of cash into his hands. "No takebacks" she warns before getting out of the truck before he could give it back.

The two of them walked to the cabins where Jack made tacos for the two of them. "So, how does your riding career go? The discipline, I mean." He asked her, "Cause, mine's going good with 4 national titles." He served the tacos with a glass of whiskey on the rocks to each of them.

He reached over and stroked her face, hoping he wasn't overstepping. "you're like a southern sunset, beautiful and colorful."

Elaine watched as he made the tacos. She blushed when she caught herself drooling slightly. She quickly wiped it away and looked to the carpet. She took one of the tacos and took a bite. "Mhm! This is good!" She praises, going and taking another bite. "That's an impressive career!" She says, her eyes widening. "I-I've only got on national title" she lies shyly. She had actually quite a few more but didn't want to seem like she was boasting. Her mother had trained with her, preparing her for them. She did not tell him about the part how her mom was a ten time world champion. She didn't want him to be friends with her just for her fame and/or her mother's fame. Many of her friends were just friends with her for the fame, often asking her for money.

When Jack reached a hand out Elaine froze. It took every inch of self control she had to not push her cheek further into his palm. She moved away blushing. To resolve the awkward situation, she took the glass of whiskey and downed it, ignoring her low alcohol tolerance. She then giggled, drunk. She traced his face with a finger. "Why do you have to be so charming and handsome?" She mumbles, her words slurred from being drunk. She wouldn't remember anything when she woke the next morning... hopefully. Otherwise she'd deal with embarrassment and regret. She giggled again tracing her finger down his chest.

"C'mon." He said, pulling her to the bed and under the sheets. The next morning, he woke up naked in bed with her. She was still fast asleep. He played with a strand of her hair with 2 fingers.

He started humming, and hoped she would excuse his idiocy. He got up so he wouldn't wake her, and got dressed for the day. He quickly ran to her room and grabbed clothes for her as well. He set her clothes where he was last night. He began making sausage and eggs for the two of them.

Elaine woke up naked in a bedroom that wasn't hers and with no recollection of the past night. She assumed the worst. She must have slept with Jack after she got drunk last night. She cursed under her breath. She was never drinking again. She wrapped the blankets around her and going into Jack's closet. He had torn her clothes so she would steal his. She did not see that he had laid clothes out for her. It seemed fair. Pulling on sweatpants and putting on one of Jack's shirts, which was much to large for her. She then went to her own room to wash up. She walked into the kitchen just to turn around her face flushing. She then recollected herself and sat down, avoiding his eyes, refusing to meet his gaze.
