RaykaThe boy who helped me prepare for riding comes to me and gives me back my bag that I had left with him, I take it and put it on my shoulder, but I leave the envelope with the check in the jacket pocket, if someone tries to steal the prize, the bag will be more targeted and easier to take than the jacket.I see the group coming to me, Ness is the first to hug and congratulate me, followed by the other girls.“That's it pitbull, you showed him who's daddy's little princess.”Of course, Bryan wouldn't stop teasing me, but two can play this game.“You're right doll.” I laugh and Bryan rolls his eyes, that will always be my weapon against him.I move away from Bryan and look at Gael, who comes to me and hugs me.“You were amazing.” He says.His hand goes to my neck and wraps his fingers in my hair, I lift my face more so as to shorten the distance between our mouths soon. Unlike in the tower, this time he kisses me more intensely, exploring my mouth with his tongue, his hand that is
RaykaI think about what we can do now, but before I can come to a conclusion, Allan startles me with his speech.“Not that one, Juliana is here.”I turn in the direction he is looking and indeed Juliana is coming towards us, it is easy to recognize her in the midst of people, as she has a long curly red hair. Juliana is the daughter of Joseph Batchelor, the current president of the PBR.“Good evening everyone.” Juliana speaks as soon as she approaches us. “Rayka, what an exceptional ride you made, I need to shake your foot because I am still clapping you with my hands.”“Thank you, Juliana.” I say and go and hug her. “What are you doing here today?”“I came at my father's request; in fact, I have been following this challenge since it was launched.”Of course, the PBR would be keeping an eye on this.“My dad was sure it was only a matter of time before he got to do one of our rides, not least because the prize is tempting.”She is right about the prize; it will help a lot of people.
RaykaI feel sad that my mother hates me, and I only hope that my father is at least proud of me.“Rayka, my princess.” My father speaks in a low tone, and I hold the cell phone close to my ear. “You shouldn't have risked yourself like that, and I know you know that what you did was very irresponsible.”Of course, I know, I just didn't expect you to be upset about what I did.“I do know that.”“Princess I know that tone of voice and you shouldn't even think I am mad, how could I be if you did what you did just to defend me, defend the PBR, which was a dream that I realized with so much joy. But the PBR is not the legacy that matters to me, you are my princess who is, I am proud of your attitude, because today on that stage I saw the girl I raised with so much love acting with determination, defending what she believes and teaching what really matters without at any time needing to offend her opponent, you became the woman I knew you would become and that is what really matters to me,
RaykaAs soon as we get to them, I turn to the side and see Kaleo and Kaneki at a distance, I realize that Kaneki is holding his brother's arm, probably because the asshole wants to come here to make some fun or maybe take satisfaction for what Bryan said about my dating.But as they say, he who makes the first move, controls the game, and if I was able to take on Richard in front of all these people and ride a deadly one-ton bull, I can take on my ex's suitcase too.“Guys, before we go eat, I need to talk to Kaneki, I will take advantage of him being there and go talk.” I speak.” Rayka, are you sure you want to do this?” Ness asks.Kaleo took me by surprise in the park and took advantage of it to shake me, but this time I am prepared.“I sure am.”“Then we'll all go with you.” Bryan is serious.He annoys me most of the time, however in serious moments he leaves the jokes aside and takes care of me like a big brother.“It's all right.”“Rayka, before we go I need to ask you something
RaykaIt's good to know that my bull will be in a quieter place, and I can enjoy the party more peacefully.“Rayka, so what are your plans, do you intend to enter him for this year's championship or wait for next year's?”“Not at all Kaneki, Sovereign will not compete in rodeos, tonight was his last official ride.”“This is crazy Rayka.” Kaleo interrupts me. “You can't do that.”“What you can't do is get involved in a conversation you weren't invited to, and what's crazy is you thinking you have the right to have any say in my life.”I see your little smile fade as you see me speaking firmly.“Anyway, as I was saying, Kaneki, I want Sovereign to go to Dalhart and stay there in his own enclosure with access to the dam, he will undergo all the necessary tests to ensure that he has no health problems, and if everything is fine, I want him to collect the semen.”“I see, do you want his children to compete?” Kaneki asks.Although I have never done any study for genetic engineering, I learn
RaykaAs I think about how to get out of this situation, Gael quickly goes around me, and I see that he holds Kaleo's wrist and with his other hand he takes him by the collar.I feel the grip on my arm disappear and Gael pushes Kaleo backwards who staggers a few steps before stopping.“Don't you ever dare touch her again without permission.” Gael says angrily.“Just because you're fucking her, you think you can touch me like that?” Kaleo retorts.He comes at Gael who gives him a blow to the throat, making Kaleo fall to his knees with his hand on his neck, he seems to have difficulty breathing. I can't allow this situation to escalate into a physical assault issue.“Gael, please stop.” I grab his arm and he turns to me.“I am sorry Rayka, I am not violent, I just lost my mind with the way he acted towards you.”I like his gentle way, I see that he thinks that my request was for fear of the violence he acted, when I just don't want him to have problems for defending me or that because o
RaykaI would just forget about Kaleo forever, but I don't think that's possible.“And he still had the nerve to approach Rayka today, is this guy insane?” Charles asks.He has a point, Kaleo had a lot of guts, and while he can claim I went up to him earlier, he can't say the same for the park.“He must have seen it as a neutral area since he didn't go all the way to Boston or Amarillo after me.”“That's ridiculous, the place doesn't matter, it's the fact that he disturbed you.” Sarah says.“We know that, but you forget that men usually use their heads to think, not to mention that they get carried away easily when their ego is shaken.” Ness speaks up.“Hey, please don't generalize, I am not like that.” Gael asks.“Relax, we're not ones to generalize.” I smile to calm him down. “If I were like that, after growing up with Bryan around, I would be terrified of men.”“Here you go again.” Bryan complains.“But this time it's not because you're gay, it's because you not only went out with
RaykaWe arrive at the food-truck, there are three people in front of us in line, Gael stands next to me and turns to me.“You know when Bryan was telling me about your dad and Kaleo, it seemed to me that your dad is very jealous of you.”I control myself not to laugh, because it seems that he is afraid of the old man.“He is a little, but I think every father should be like that, and since I am an only child, he's become more protective than usual.”“It could be, I have three sisters at home, my father was never very protective, he said that disappointments are part of life.”“He's not wrong, my dad is protective, but he's never stopped me from living my life.”“He only tends to threaten his exes after they break up.”“Remember what I said about not generalizing?” I ask and he nods. “Your turn not to do that, I only dated Kaleo seriously and I don't think anyone can blame him for what he did, not least because he didn't do anything that terrible.”“Rayka calm down.” Gael asks, huggin
