“Hay sólo algunos hombres que no deben ser permitidos pisar la tierra…” Carla ranted as she stomped into the tack room. Each time she had a discussion with Oak, it turned into some sort of mess that she didn’t understand. Oak never just wanted to listen to her that was all that she wanted.
“Es el asno más grande que yo jamás he encontrado. ¿Cómo no he abofeteado lo yo abajo como el mosquito que es?” Carla ranted as she slapped her hand against the wood wall.
“I can’t follow Spanish when it is being said so quickly… but I did catch the word in there for jackass… I think,” Nikita cautiously spoke as she stood in the doorway and looked at Carla.
“That stupid man… that man with a stupid name… Oak… Oak… Oak…” Carla started as she turned and looked at Nikita. She wanted to stop, but she continued. The words were just coming out too easily. “There are just some men that should not be allowed to walk on the earth. He is the biggest jackass I have ever met. How have I not smacked him down like the mosquito that he is? I mean, he is just an annoying fly to me…. Flying around and telling me what I should and shouldn’t do and how I should do things and which horses do what best and how I should give up using the ring because all the girls want to do is go out in trail rides and he hates that I don’t want to use the East trail this summer.”
Nikita blinked her eyes. “You didn’t say all of that in Spanish,” Nikita nervously laughed. Carla took a moment to take a deep breath and to calm down. “He brings out the worse in me.”
“He spent a good bit of the summer here last year. He acts like he doesn’t care, but he does,” Nikita explained as she didn’t like the tension that was growing between Oak and Carla. Girls were going to start arriving tomorrow and this had to be solved. These two couldn’t be going at it like this in front of the girls.
“He decided he didn’t want to be in charge,” Carla pointed out and Nikita nodded her head. “Yeah, I know that. But he does have some knowledge that you might want to take into consideration.”
“And sometimes he has been wrong,” Carla declared as she looked at Nikita. Nikita knew that she was commenting directly to Michael and Nikita telling Oak that it was ok for Carla to use Nixon and Ladybird if things were tight this summer.
Nikita turned and motioned for Carla to follow her. Carla rolled her eyes and Nikita walked to the fence to look out over the pasture where the horses were roaming. “You were right about Nixon and Ladybird… but I did not like how it was handled. I would have preferred that you would have waited for Michael and myself to return once Oak had objected to it.”
“But you said that it was ok,” Carla rasped as she stepped away from Nikita. Nikita groaned. “Because Oak needed to know that you were in charge.”
“So you are upset at me…”
“If I was upset, I wouldn’t be talking to you right now,” Nikita countered clearly as she shook her head. “You are the new person up here and there has been a lot of change going on.”
Carla tipped her head and sighed. “I want the girls to have a safe, good, and educational time.”
Nikita shook her head from side to side. “Educational? That doesn’t happen here.”
“It should,” Carla asserted. “That is why the girls should groom the horses… and why they should be involved with feeding them…”
“If we had advertised that as part of the sessions… but that wasn’t advertised that way. Trail rides were advertised. Trail rides that cross the creek multiple times like the East trail,” Nikita corrected as she shook her head back and forth. “It is about making the girls smile… and summer means trying to downplay the education as much as possible.”
“But that is what I always did…” Carla announced and Nikita shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe you are going to deal with some change yourself.”
Carla rolled her shoulders back and sighed. “I fear that I’m not going to fit in here.”
“I felt that way when I arrived,” Nikita pointed out with a smile on her face as Ladybird was heading right for her. Nikita hadn’t even called out for her and the horse knew that she was there. “I found myself here, Carla. I think you are here for a reason.”
Carla slowly stepped away as she wrapped her hands around her waist. “I’ll take that under advisement.”
“Please take it easy on Oak. It isn’t easy for him right now,” Nikita whispered as she knew that Oak wouldn’t admit it, but he did admit Hunter a lot. “You never know what people are going thru.”
Nikita took a moment and then slipped underneath the railing to pat down Ladybird. Carla watched Nikita and dropped her hands slowly. Maybe she was being too tough on Oak and maybe she would find more success in working with him.
As long as he would listen to her apologize.
