SPURS & BOOTS, cowboy!dadbf!smoke x cowgirl!reader
IN WHICH a twenty-four year old cowgirl whom still stays at home with her father gets news from him, he tells her he’s going on a business trip. but.. only problem is that he’s having one of his friends come over and watch her while he’s gone, at first she’s upset about this; she hates how her father babies her. but once she meets the man that will be staying with her for a few weeks, she decides it won’t be too bad after all.
THE SOUND OF ROOSTERS crowing filled the atmosphere; the sound working as a alarm clock. You instantly stretched your arms, before tumbling out of bed and going to go shower. The hot water hit your skin and immediately calmed down your muscles and bones. You closed your eyes as you bathed yourself, basking in the soothing feeling. After thirty minutes of being in the shower you finally got out, you grabbed a towel and draped it over your body before swiftly walking back into your room and picking out a cute outfit to wear out on the farm.
In the blink of an eye, you were dressed and your hair was done. You brushed your jet black hair one more time before leaving the room, and making your way to the yard. Once you made it there, you were immediately greeted by the herding dog, Oreo. She sat infront of you and wagged her tail, you leaned down and gave her a few pets and rubs before funtime rot check on the other animals,
You checked on the cows first, but none of them were ready to be milked just yet. After topping off their hay, you made your way toward the horse shed. The morning air was crisp as you unlocked the weathered wooden door and stepped inside. The horses were already awake, each one standing quietly in its own stall, ears flicking at the sound of your footsteps as they waited patiently for your attention.
You filled all of their food troughs with hay, and after about thirty minutes you were done. As you were about to take out your personal horse for a ride, you hear your name being called from outside. The voice being a familiar one you’ve known all your life, your father. Your eyebrows furrowed as you thought to yourself, your father was never up this early. It was your duty to tend to the farm early in the morning, and his duty to put all the animals to sleep at night. You gave all the horses a kiss on the head before walking outside of the shed and closing it before going to see what your father wanted.
“Yes?” You asked once you made it over to your father. “Sugar, I have some news. I’m gon’ be gone for ‘bout six to eight weeks, ‘m going on a business trip to learn how to better the farm. While i’m gone, one of my friends will be here to watch over you, and to help you take care of the farm.” A frown appeared upon your face after hearing your father’s declaration. “Why do I need someone here with me? I’m twenty-four, i’m grown! I’m not a kid who needs to be watched.” Your father sighed before running his calloused hand across his face.
“I know that; but running a farm by yourself for that long of a time is going to be hard. You won’t be able to do it by yourself. You won’t even realize he’s here half of the time.” You sighed before rolling your eyes and nodding. A smile quickly formed on your father’s face. “That’s my girl,” After a while of talking to your father you walked away from him and began to go and take care of the animals, you let the horses out and let them roam. You even rode a few of them and fed them some fruit and vegetables from the garden. You bottled fed the calf, and baby sheep.
After doing all of that, exhaustion weighed heavily on your body. You trudged back into the house, made your way to your room, and collapsed onto your bed, eager to rest your tired muscles. Before you knew it, your heavy eyelids gave in, and you drifted into a deep, dreamless slumber. You were having a great slumber, until a knock at the front door woke you up. You grumbled under your breath before lazily getting out of bed, walking out of your room, and going to answer the front door
As you pulled the door open, a man stood waiting on the other side. He towered at six-foot-one, his broad shoulders and powerful biceps giving him an undeniably imposing presence. His rich, dark-brown skin seemed to glow beneath the evening light, complementing his full lips and slightly slanted almond-shaped eyes that studied you with quiet intensity. A gruff, neatly grown beard connected to a well-kept goatee, while deep dimples softened his rugged features whenever the corners of his mouth hinted at a smile. “You’re [ 𐙚 ] , right?” He asked, his voice deep and rich.
You could feel your stomach fluttering just at the sound of his voice. “Yes, I am. An’ you are..?” He took his hat off and pressed it against his chest. “I’m Smoke, your father’s friend. I’m gon’ be helping you ‘round the farm while he’s gone.” You nodded, before stepping aside and letting him come to the house. “Want me to show you where the guest room is?” He hummed in response, which you took as a yes and walked him down to the hall to the guest room. “Here you go, if you need anything i’ll be down the hall, ‘kay?” The older man gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. You offered him a warm smile before turning on your heel and making your way back to your room, quietly closing the door behind you.
And all you could think about was; maybe it wouldn’t be so bad having someone here..
