Being a cowboy ain’t nothing you imagine. You think you get to shoot people and get laid a lot with pretty women but you don’t. I learned that the hard way. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a cowboy. The cattle drives give me a chance to see the world around me, it’s why i volunteer for night shift the most. I just love seeing the stars. It’s just the long hours and dumb shit I have to deal with is the bad part of being a cowboy. Especially the horse care, you don’t EVER want to put yourself in horse care. —————————————————— Lucky, the boss let us stay at some nice town. We will be staying there for two months. We didn’t get to relax though, we did have to help with some buildings but still. The people here were nice, especially the inn lady. She brought me and the gang cookies when we first got there! The only rude people there was the mayor’s family. Apparently, they didn’t exactly like cowboys. —————————————————— The gang and I were at the bar, just finishing building the new school. Suddenly the lights dim down and the stage lights went on. A drink and a show? This reminds me of when my ma sang at the family inn. God, this got me homesick. As the song started, it was slow and a bit boring. That was until I heard her voice. I turned and was stunned by the sight of her. I didn’t know who she was but boy…she was pretty. No. Not pretty. Gorgeous. No. No word could describe her. Now with her beautiful eyes, her smile, her beautiful hair that reach her shoulders, and her amazing voice. It was like she came out of my dreams just to sing to me. Well not to me but you know what I mean. By the end of the song, I clapped the loudest but quickly stopped when that girl fell off the stage. I quickly ran over to her, catching her in my arms. “you alright, darling?” My country accent slipped out. But then she turned to look at me and nearly broke me with that smile again “My hero” she said, in a sweet tone like I just told her she was pretty (which wouldn’t be a lie). My name was Boone but I would definitely let her call me hero
