8 Seconds - The Cowgirl and the Doctor Chapter 13
GaelFires pop around the entire field indicating that the event is about to begin, I see the owner of the bull entering the arena and going to the stage.“With you, Richard Rivera, from the rodeo company Revenge.” A voice speaks over the stadium's sound system.“Very appropriate.” Rayka grumbles.“Good evening everyone and welcome to this magnificent event.” Richard begins to speak. “In our life, 8 seconds may mean nothing, but for a cowboy, 8 seconds on the back of a bull is like an eternity, it takes only 8 seconds for a cowboy to be considered a hero, in 8 seconds one will be defined the best. To face those 8 seconds takes an insane courage, a fearless bravery that few men have in this world. With you Sovereign.”The bull is released into the arena, although I saw him yesterday and do not understand much of this business, I still marvel at the beauty of the animal, all black and only the white horns that stand out in his figure. I feel Rayka raise her body and turn to look at her,

GaelWatching Rayka walk away, I stare at her without understanding what she intends to do.“Go on Pitbull, show them who's boss.” Bryan shouts.He's known her for many years, and despite the teasing, he understands her better.“What do you think she's going to do?” I ask.“Isn't it obvious? She's going to do what her cousin couldn't.' Bryan says.” Bryan says.I don't understand how she can do that, because the only way is to ride the bull.“This is crazy, she will break her promise.” Liz says.“If you look closely, she won't, because she promised not to ride on the farm anymore, she didn't say anything about a challenge outside.” Ness speaks up.I can only have misunderstood, Rayka can't be thinking about riding that bull. I look for her and see that she is almost next to the stage, but the entrance is on the other side.“Do you think Rayka is going to ride this bull?” I ask.“She sure is.” Ness says.“She can't do that; we have to stop her.” I say, getting up.I feel someone grab my

GaelI watch Rayka bend down and caress the bull's neck and seems to be saying something, I just don't know if it's with the bull or with the pawn who is helping her.Rayka raises her head and I see that her face is serious, she must be focused on what she will do soon, she adjusts her hat, pulling the tie to keep it on her head during the ride. The pedestrian hands her a glove which she puts on her left hand and helps tie, then offers a rope which she uses to rub the palm of the glove. Rayka then jumps over the bar and climbs on the bull to start fixing the rope.“This girl is not only crazy, but stupid.” Allan exclaims.My cousin took the night off today to be an asshole, that's the only explanation.“Don't call her that.” I say between breaths.“And what should I call her? In addition to wanting to be a cowgirl, you will ride without the protective vest.” Allan says.I look at the screen and in fact Rayka is just wearing the clothes she was already wearing; she is not wearing a ves

RaykaI leave the arena still not believing what I just did, it seems to be a dream, however, the noise of the stands makes me sure that I am awake.I walk slowly to the staircase that gives access to the stage, it was a huge insanity to offer myself for the challenge, but I do not regret having done it, because now I will be able to shut Richard's mouth and show that he is no better than my father, and as a gift, I will give Sovereign a better life, because in Dalhart this bull will have a good life, no more evil with him.As soon as I get on stage, my smile widens as I see the look on Richard's face, not even the prize money will be better than that. The stage assistant hands me the microphone, he remains silent as I approach, apparently he is not excited to congratulate me on my win, well if he is not going to speak, I will.“Mr. Rivera, you made such a fuss about your bull that I thought it would be harder to ride him.”“Sovereign is the best; no cowboy has ever been able to stay

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
