Jasper's long pale fingers combed the mares wild hair lightly as he stared at her. It hadn't been that long since the two had been encountered with each other, but every time Jasper saw his beautiful horse, he couldn't help but grin like a madman. She was all his, and even though she wasn't exactly what he wanted, she was still a prize in his mind. She had been dressed in her western saddle, with a bridle place over her long snout. Everything that needed to be on her to ride, was there, latched into place. Well, not that you really needed anything to ride her, but Jasper never did like riding bareback, he always got off in more pain then he ever did when getting on.
"Hey girl."Jasper purred into her ear softly, combing her fir within his hands before he glanced over at Alyssa with a wide grin. "Ready?" he asked curiously though it was rhetorical, that same challenging tone in his voice. Jasper's clothing didn't change much from before, he was still wearing the same ole' jeans and flannel t-shirt with a wife beater underneath. The only difference would be the cowboy boots that adorned his feet, special for riding. He left his horse where she was, still cross tied to the stable, ready to be ridden. A wooden step-stool was near just in case Alyssa needed it. "I'mma let you get on first, is that alright?" he asked, hoping that was alright with her, because he wanted to help her up, and as long as she got on the back half, he could easily take the front to hold the reigns.
ooc- hope this works for you,
also an added piece here,
I don't really know how to role-play horse riding.
So it may sound funny to you. xD

Alyssa watched him pet that horse of his. She could tell he cared about it. That was a good thing. She hated people that abused animals, whether it was just not care for them, physically abuse them, or not feed them, so on. Anything it was, if an animal was abused she dispised the owners. She was really happy Jasper wasn't one of them, not that she had ever gotten that from him.
She looked at him with a raished eyebrow as he challenged her again. She smiled and rolled her eyes. "Ya I'm ready. Are you?" she challenged. She smiled at the stool and looked at him, peircing her lips. "You expect me to use that? Boy, I ride english, with not stirrups. I think I can handle getting on a western saddle." She looked at him and took a step toward the horse. Making sure to allow it to sniff her first. She didn't want to startle the horse.
Once she was sure the horse was used to her scent she took a step into the stirrup, without using the step-stool. She saddled the horse then slid off the saddle a little. Sitting bareback on the horse. She wanted to let Jasper have the saddle. That way, she could wrap her arms around her.

Jasper couldn't help but laugh as she challenged him back, but not before rolling her eyes."Gah! stop doing that."he said, pausing to mimic what she did."Now I'm going to always wonder what your sassy comeback is."he said, with a wide playful grin. He crossed his arms in front of his chest."Well, Just making sure. I don't normally give rides to beautiful girls like yourself."he said, with a small wink, stepping forward towards the horse, but not alarmingly.
He watched as she let the horse sniff her, Beauty eagerly welcoming the new comer, no objection taken in her stance. He moved the stool over out of the way before easily removing the only thing keeping the horse from going any where."Easy girl."he said softly to Beauty, grabbing hold, before stepping into the stirrup before straddling the horse, while sitting upon the saddle.
He looked back at Alyssa, making sure to keep the reigns at a halt, so that beauty wouldn't be alarmed by any of his movements. Glancing back at Alyssa, he grinned."Ready?"he asked her curiously, though this time it wasn't said as a challenge, more making sure she was holding on, whether to him or something in reach so that she wouldn't fall or harm herself.

Alyssa smiled to herself and then just turned away. "That's my plan." she said smiling at him. Even though it hadn't been her plan, it could be one in the future. She couldn't help but just smile at his comment, or that was what is sounded like a comment. She just looked at him. Smiling politely.
She watched as he straddled the horse. She smiled and wrapped her arms around him. Resting her head against his back. "Ya, I'm ready," she said smiling. She was really happy she just got to hold onto him like this. Infact, she didn't thinks he could be happier.

Jasper turned to look in front of him, staring down at Beauty as she began to get restless, tired of waiting for commands, but she remained. Upon feeling Alyssa's arms wrap around his waist, a permanent grin appeared upon his plump lips, sending shivers through his spine but he remained calm of course. He knew how to keep his composure but inside, he was defianatly a happy camper.
Jasper grabbed a hold of the reigns tight, nodding lightly to her, but more to himself as he gave Beauty the signal to go, kicking her sides with the heels of his feet, though not anything to rough that would harm her, just something to get her going. The horse took off with a proud neigh, dashing through the trail. Her clops made noises against the hard ground as she traveled sending vibrations through out Jasper's spine. He wasn't going so fast that he'd fear falling off, but the pace was steady and enough to send your hair blowing in the breeze.
--------------------- after a few minutes of riding ---------------------
The black paint colored mare was brought to a half halt, slowly her pace down as she made her way into a dry meadow of sorts. The sun was just starting to set in the distance and the red and orange light illuminated off of it, made the sight beautiful. Little patches of green grass, could be seen here and there, but for the most part it was dirt and you could see dirt paths where people have ridden.
ooc- alrighty.

Alyssa just smiled as he grabbed the reigns and got the horse going. The gentle gallop made her sore from riding bareback. But she wasn't one to complain. She just sat there as the wind gently blew her hair. It seemed so romantic. Though, she knew he probably wasn't going for romance. That was okay. It was still really nice. She hadn't gotten out for a while, and this was fantastic. She just rested her head against his back gently.
She felt the horse come to a slow and opened her eyes slightly. As she had closed them to keep the wind out of her eyes, and keep her from tearing up. She looked at the setting. The horizon was beautiful. She smiled and let out a soft sigh. "It's beautiful," she said in a single breath. The image truely took her breath away.

Jasper looked around him, the horses hooves clopping softly against the firm ground, almost coming to a stop as they came upon a small log. Finally the horse halted, a soft huff coming from it's snout. Jasper pulled the reigns into a full halt, turning his head so that he could glance back at Alyssa, a wide grin on his face for a moment before he turned straight. "I know, isn't it?"he asked, rhetorically of course as he stared at the breath taking view.
His eyes traveled across the horizon."I come here to think." he added softly with a light nod, glancing down at the ground. He kept his hands close to the reigns but set the reigns between his legs as his hands traveled to rest gently upon hers, that were around his waist. "Alyssa, I..uhm.. Can I ask you something?" he asked softly, though every word was completely audible.

Alyssa smiled. Her head still resting against his back. She closed her eyes softly. She smiled as he said he came here to think. She rested her body against his back. She rested her eyes. Slowly. Not to fall asleep, but to just rest. It had been a busy day today. After the.. trouble.. in first through thrid period. It was a really long day. And honestly, this was just what she needed. Though her legs were sore from bareback, but that was fine.
She opened her eyes as she felt his hands on hers and smiled. She bit her bottom lip casually. His hands were kinda cold, probably from riding without gloves. She never rode without gloves, just for this reason. She hated cold hands, and since her hands were always cold anyway, it wasn't a smart choice to ride. She smiled as he said that. Though not sure what he'd want to ask. "Ya, what is it?" She asked, intregied that he had a question to ask her.

Jasper let out a soft laugh, of course she would say yes. No, she was going to say no to you asking her a question. He sort of felt like an idiot for saying it, but that feeling soon faded. He entangled his hands within hers, they weren't really all that cold to him, compared to his own, they were acctually quite warm. He pursed his lips a little, smiling lightly towards her response. Jasper was trying to keep his cool, every time he opened his mouth to speak he would close it, in fear of the natural stuttering he did when he was nervous.
What would he have to be nervous about? I don't know, that's a good question. He let out a soft sigh, followed by a laugh, shaking his head lightly before he let go of her hands. "Let's get down first." he said, glancing over his shoulder for a moment. He let out a soft content sigh as he placed his foot on the stirrup before sliding off the side of his horse with a loud plop, stumbling only lightly being distracted by his thoughts."Woah, Beauty."he said, softly to his horse, patting her neck gently to calm her down. Grabbing a treat from a pocket on the saddle before putting it before her snout. She ate it eagerly, slobber covering his hand, but he didn't complain just wiped it upon his jeans.
He smiled brightly as he looked up Alyssa for a moment, before tying Beauty up to a log, when he came back he looked up at Alyssa and offered his hand for her to get down, though, if she didn't need it, she didn't have to take it.

Alyssa waited for him to ask a question. But it took him a while. She heard a few sighs and then him laugh. She wanted to laugh, but she didn't know what to laugh to. She just sat pateintly until she heard him suggest for them to get down. "Ah, I guess." She said. Letting go of him so he could slide off the horse. She side saddled it as he tied it up.
She saw him give out his hands and did a dramatic roll of her eyes. Only to annoy him, to mess with his head. Then she grabbed his hands. Not that she needed to. She could have gotten off the horse without help. She had to get off an english saddle everyday, but she wanted to. So she grabbed his shoulders and hopped off the horse. Finding the two bodies extremely close. But she didn't want to blow anything so she just smiled before taking a few steps away.
"So what was the question?"

Jasper let out a soft laugh as she rolled her eyes, shaking his head in amusement before he watched her place her hands upon his shoulders, he smiled lightly, assisting her down, though he didn't really think she needed it, he helped out of the courteous thing to do, plus it was another chance for her to be close to him. He looked at the space between their bodies which was small before she took a step back. He raised an eyebrow questionably, more towards his own sanity to anything.
"Well.."he paused, casually putting his hand on the back of his head. "Okay, I'm just going to come out and say it, but if it sounds cheesy, I warned you."he said, through laughter, a wide grin upon his plump lips."So, you know the prom that's coming up?"he asked, rhetorically of course. He dropped his hands to the side, tilting his head to one side. "Well.."he paused, pondering on how to put it. "I was wondering if you wanted to go with me." he paused again, looking up into her eyes. "I know we only met this afternoon, but.. we could go as friends or.."he trailed off, glancing back down at the ground.

Alyssa listened as he tried to come out with it. She smiled and her eyes said come out with it. But she wasn't going to say that out loud. She just smiled at him as she listened to what he was trying to come out with. She heard the prom mentioned and instant thoughts ran through her head, 'is he going to ask me out?'. Of course, what girl wouldn't think that when a guy mentioned the prom?
She just smiled though. Trying to hold down the words she wanted to scream out so loud. She heard him trail off and smiled. "Or I could go as your date?" she said in a questioning tone. Hoping that was what he was going for. But if it wasn't, she had just made a complete fool of herself.

Jasper paused a moment or two, trying to get out his last sentence but it didn't want to come. His breath was stuck in the back of his throat and he was on the verge of turning purple, but at last moment he remembered to breath. He thought his ears were playing tricks on him when she began to spoke.
Jasper looked up as she spoke, a wide smile on his thin face. "I'd like that." he said through a teethy smile. Jasper normally never got nervous talking to a girl, unless it involved explaining his feelings. Jasper stared into Alyssa's eyes, he reached forward, entangling his fingers into hers. "So.." he trailed off, with a soft chuckle, shifting his weight from one foot to the other but it in turn, brought the two closer.

Alyssa smiled at him as he said he liked that. Her smile was sweet. Her eyes settle. She smiled at him as he said that was what he meant. She was happy, if it wasn't she would have felt so retarded. But she didn't, so that was good. She didn't know what to say though. She had only known him since the end of school. Maybe two hourse. Though, she did need a date. So, she was torn here. She did like him, but she just, she wasn't sure.
"So," she said. Sure she would go with him. She did want a date, and she did want it to be him. She watched as he stepped forward. She wasn't sure, what was his next move going to be? Or was he going to make a move on her? Was she reading the signs wrong?

Jasper bit the inside of his cheek, taking her other hand within his and playing with her fingers lightly, just an odd habit as said before. He didn't know what to say, what to do. His mind was saying one thing but his heart was saying another, nonetheless he sounded like he was the maker of some sappy love song. But he didn't let the confusion show on his face, he was merely happy and that was shown by the wide grin.
After a moment or two, with sounds of the horses being the only thing said Jasper tried to pull his thoughts together. Make a move, not to make a move, that was the question. He sighed lightly, yet contently to himself bringing his hand up to rest on her cheek, massaging it lightly with his thumb as he pushed her hair back. "Would it be alright if I kissed you?"he asked into her ear as a soft murmur, letting his warm breath linger along her neck. Jasper didn't take things, before asking for them, his gentlemen personality just didn't let him. And if she said no, oh well. He could get over that, it wouldn't hurt him that much, it would just make him try that much harder to persuade her.
