When the two woke up again it was still dark but morning. They knew to make sure Micha’s new plan for the people who worked for him they had to be ready and willing to do anything for the day. Neither of them cared to much about that. “I am finding that I don’t wish to get out of bed this morning,” Micha said into her ear as he just moved his arm to keep her pressed closed to him.
“But you see cowboy it is something you have to do. I mean you can’t keep me here all day in bed when we got people to show a lesson too.” Sophia said as she smiled to him over her shoulder. He chuckled at her very sorry copy of his accent but it was worth hearing on an

Sophia went to the stables which was a place that no matter where you went or on any farm or ranch was always the same. The layout might be slightly different but the day to day activities in it was the same. Sophia knew exactly what to do without being told where anything was. She smiled to herself and then began collecting the buckets from the stalls and then filling them up with either water or feed. She could see the ones that they had the more specialized diets for and though she didn’t know exactly what it was she could guess.She began hauling the water buckets to each stall and placing them in their holders on the wall. Each horse watched her closely as they knew this was a new person. She ran her hands down each one and smiled when the horses accepted her there. She went out and saw a group of very sleepy people being ro

Micha watched as the people all filled the area and they looked like they were already miserable. He was going to enjoy the next few days. The people there had no idea what he had planned. Though he knew he couldn’t outright fire them all he wanted to make their lives a living hell for the two weeks.“Alright people settle down,” Micha said as he raised his voice a bit. He glanced over to the stable and saw her walking around to go to the back pen probably to go check on the cow again. He smiled to himself and then looked at the people in front of him. None of them were dressed right for the day he had planned. Nice shirts and khakis were going to get ruined out here but he honestly didn’t care anymore. “We will be breaking down into smaller groups so your abilities can be tested. You will also be given a chore to do and you will have to learn it.

As breakfast was being doled out the people were still grumbling about being up at an ungodly hour. They also didn’t like the idea of being tested even though it made perfect sense to match them with the correct animal and tasks that they could do. Sophia listened as she was off to the side and she was not surprised even though she was disappointed in a way. These people really did need a wake up call on how life worked outside of the city.It was making her almost mad the way they kept going on and on about things they had no idea it was there in place for hundreds of years. They weren’t any less of people because they kept a certain way of life going. It was simple but hard. It was more rewarding to them to see the animals grow and be ready to wholesale for her it was watching the newer cows produce and whatnot. Micha and her came from the same coin just two sides

As the two walked over to the pen they both could feel the daggers being sent their way. Sophia couldn’t help but worry a bit about the outcome of pushing them to the brink but for now she had to focus on the calf. It was in the corner of the pen while it’s mother and twin were on the other side getting along great. “Your mom said not to try to bother getting the mother to accept the calf.”“She is right.” He said as he looked down at her. “I don’t know how it is on your type but if a mother rejects it at birth normally because it is a multiple or whatever it won’t ever. Just focus on your job as it’s adopted mother and I will figure out where we are going to put it.”“Micha I can have my father take it in for a bit.” Sophia said as she looked at him.

As he opened the door and nearly pushed her into the small building he closed the door behind him and locked the simple door handle. This building was hardly ever used unless it was the end of season. It wasn’t so he knew everything would be minimal in there and no one would be looking to get into it. He grinned in the low light of the room from the one old window pane. He looked at her as she turned to look at him.“Really Micha?” she asked as he closed the distance between them. She took a few steps back when he did close the distance and she found herself between a table and him.“Well I like the way you think.” He said softly as he untied the bottom of the outer shirt she was wearing and let it drop to the floor. He then had the hem of her tank top in his hands. He kissed her quickly and then as he broke away from her she found herself without a top o

Sophia followed him as they both stopped and looked at the small group that was in the main ring. The two looked at the people they called co-workers at the moment and they looked at each other and shook their heads. That was when they spotted another group being told how to muck out the stalls as the horses were being turned out for the day. Sophia smiled as she saw her horse while she was there at least. He was at the fence waiting for some attention from her as he whined rather loudly.“Looks like I will have to have enough room for him to come along too.” Micha laughed as he watched the horse pace back and forth as she got nearer to the fence. The horse roared as he bucked onto two hooves to show her she was taking to long to get to him.“Another impatient male to deal with.” Sophia said and he roared with laughter. As she got to the fence the horse began t

Sophia looked up to him and smiled as he kept his hand on her back as he looked at the people in front of him and around the ranch with utter disdain. He couldn’t believe the amount of gall some of these people still had. Though now he had some more pressing things to do for the day. She surprised him by saying that so openly in front of everyone but he knew she was really saving herself. They would have to iron out the kinks in the relationship but people like them had often started with less then the two had.He could think on the fact his parents had only known each other two weeks both their parents thought it was a great idea for the two to get hitched. Five kids later and nearly fifty years they were still running strong. It could be that way with her as well. He knew she probably came from something like it as well. He looked at her and could feel her easing as well. Though he wanted nothing to d
