I puked for the twelfth time today. Never am I going to a bar and getting drunk again. Did that a month ago with my friends and 'cousin' Jasmine, she's Sawyer's sister, for my birthday.
I returned to the counter and played on my phone. "Morning, Katherine." I looked up and saw Sawyer come in. "What do you want?" I asked him. Everyone remembers when Zach busted his nose when he tried to flirt with Ali.
I heard from Zach that Buck wanted to do it himself once he heard what happened. No one likes Sawyer, only his friends, and they're fake.
I put my phone in my back pocket and went into the back. "Dad. Sawyer is here." I told my dad as I got a bottle of water. I went back up front just as the door opened.
"Hey, cuz, why don't you make yourself useful and leave?" I told Sawyer as Zach walked in. "Different brand this time. Buck said it's getting too expensive."
"I know my mom will flip over this, but Triple R has been our best customer, so my dad told me to lower the price of the feed. Basically, he offered a discount for purchases over twelve bags of feed. "
"So it will be cheaper?" I nodded. "Let me call my brother and ask what he thinks." He said, then stepped outside. The truth was that Joseph bought feed from my dad since the feed store opened. Now his sons are buying from us.
Dad came out. "Was that Ray?" He asked. "Yeah." "I need to talk to him about the feed situation." Dillard came through the door with Zach.
"I need to talk to you in my office," Dad told Zach. "Kat, ring up the feed while I am." Dil panted while I rang the food up. "Got any foal halters in?" Zach asked, coming back from dad's office.
"Yup, we always do," I told him, setting a box on the counter. "Just didn't have time to put them out," I said, giggling. "Now I know that's bull crap." He told me. I shrugged and spread the halters out.
"They did send us a new type of halter. It's supposed to be durable and hold up to two tons of weight." I said as I got it out of a box.
He took a look at it. "So they sent it to see if anyone would buy it?" He asked. "More like a trial. Whoever wanted to try it out could take one home. It can be customized." I told him.
"Think I may try it on a colt I'm working with." He said while I rang five halters up. He nodded and left. Five foal halters and a trial halter.
I finally set the halters out and set up the display for the new type of halter. "You finally did that?" Cash, my brother asked me. "Took some persuasion." "Yeah." He drawled out.
He went home, and I cleaned and restocked for the next day.
Zach's POV
I got home and helped my brothers unload the truck. Then I got the horse halter and went out to the pasture to get the colt. He'll be Wyatt's if I can train him.
Several times, he tried to break away from the halter. It held nicely. Colt came out with Wyatt to watch me. My older brothers were always waiting for me to slip up or call out what I was doing wrong.
But they can't call me out or see that I've slipped up when I'm training a horse. There's no right way to train a horse, but there is a wrong way. Every horse is different, too; that's why you've got to get to know the horse.
Once I stopped for the day, I took him to his stall and gave him water. No doubt, I love my nephew and niece. I'm training horses for them that Buck and Ali gave them for Christmas the first year she was with us.
My brothers thought I was irresponsible and a drunk. That was Friday night for me. The work week is over, I stay in my house usually and sleep it off on Saturday.
That started after Buck and Ali started dating. Then, a month later, I decided to just stay in. Best plan ever in my defense.
Kat's POV
I closed up and went home. Dillard entered before I got through the door. I set my keys down and ran to the bathroom. My period is a full month late, and that's worrying me.
I always had pregnancy tests in my house just in case. I used two, both turned up positive. I did one more, and it was positive too.
Ok, I know several people who are going to flip. I called my best friend to ask her what happened that night.
"Kat, do you not remember anything that happened?" She asked.
"No, I don't remember it at all." I told her.
"I'm pregnant." I told her.
"Oh I think I might know who the baby daddy is."
"Let me guess...."
"It's Zach. You went into the bathroom led by him and came out about an hour later." She told me.
I fell back onto my chair. "Can't be."
"Believe it. You can probably go and get tested."
I hung up on her and scheduled an appointment for that. Hopefully I can confirm it.
