I'll mouth, ''I love you.'' 

Chapter 13
Avalaya

''Are you ready, Ava?'' Carson asked, softly. He was smiling, showing his pearly whites. I nodded. He put something in his pocket and took my hand. Today he was going to teach me how to ride the horses. We walked into a huge shed, and then in it were a bunch of stalls and horses. ''This is Star,'' he told me pointing to a large brown horse. ''It's my mum and dads horse.'' He briefly touched a dark coloured horse, ''This is Ashes.'' Thinking about it, Ashes colour fur did look like ash. ''He's mine.'' I pointed to the white horse, who was right at the back. ''Nobody named her, she didn't like anybody and refused to let any one touch her.'' I walked to her and opened the stall. She immediately came to me and I grinned as she let me pat her. ''She's letting you touch her.'' Carson's voice was of pure shock. I smiled and nodded. ''Well then, I have no idea how long you're staying with us but - she can be yours. What do you want to name her?'' I shrugged and then a name came to mind. I bent down to the dirt outside of the stall, my horse was in and wrote 'Lacy'. ''That's a nice name, so she is now called Lacy.'' He got the horses ready, putting the saddles and everything on them. ''Okay, so this is how you get on.'' After Carson showed me how to get on he spoke, ''To ride Lacy, just tap your left foot on her belly gently to make her go and twice to make her stop. With your right foot you tap her once to slow down and twice to speed up.'' I nodded, taking in all the information. ''Hold onto her mane until you feel balanced,'' Carson instructed. I nodded, he continued showing me how to ride and finally I got the hang of it. ''Now that you've got it, c'mon, I want to show you something.'' I rode the horse beside Carson and we went through the bushes. I tried not to think about what happened last time I went somewhere secluded. After riding Lacy for about 10 minutes we got to an opening. ''Stop her,'' he said. I used my left foot to my her stop. We stayed on the horses and I looked at where we were, we were on a cliff. We could see everything from here, it was amazing. ''I come here sometimes to think,'' Carson said quietly. ''So, lets play twenty question,'' he chirped. From his pocket he got out a small notepad and pen, handing it to me. ''You don't mind, right?'' I shook my head. ''Okay, I'll start. Favourite colour?'' 

I quickly wrote, 'purple' on the paper and then 'Favourite animal?' 

''Definitely horses. Favourite movie?'' 

As cliche as it sounds, I wrote down, 'the notebook'.  'Your favourite colour?' I wrote. 

''My favourite colour was green but then I saw your eyes. Blue. Thats my favourite colour, exactly the same shade as your eyes.'' I felt myself blushing. Nobody had ever said anything that sweet to me. ''You know you're beautiful… I don't even think that word does you any justice. You are perfect, completely flawless.''  I blushed once again. Then Carson leaned closer to me, his lips coming close to mine. Suddenly his lips where on mine and one of his hands on my cheek. My hands where still on the horse, trying to balance myself. His tongue swept my bottom lip and he gently nibbled on my lip as well. I had no idea what to do, I had been kissed before- not by chose though. The men, when I was ten forced me to kiss them. I shook those thoughts away as his tongue entered my mouth, tickling me. I forgot everything, my name, the reason I was mute, how my parents couldn't deal with me- I forgot everything just for that little moment. 

It then registered, Carson was kissing me and I was kissing him back.
