A Cowboy's Kiss

Chapter Ten

Chapter Ten

HE WOULD come down soon .... Was an understatement.
I sighed as I stared out into the night, the trees a dark contrast to the porch light, rain pelted the ground, leaving a soothing sound behind. I frowned, I didn't get that man at all. He found me attractive and ran away. Whats the deal?! Pacing back and foreth I decided that I was going to skip school and march my way up there and demand some answers.

Nodding as if it was truely final I crawled into bed. Checking my phone one last time before bed, I noticed a text from Cheryl. 

Cheryl: Has he contacted you yet?

Bryan: No x_x

Cheryl: The coward!!! -.-''

Bryan: I'm skipping school tomorrow and heading up there. Think that's a wise decision?

Cheryl: How romantic! If he won't come to you, you have to go to him. He is obviously less manly than he looks. Lol

Bryan: He's probably just shy!

Cheryl: oooo getting defensive over yo man are ye you buck?

Buck? I rose my eyebrow at the message and laughed a little. Cheryl loved her uncle, the fact she insulted him for running away was hilarious; I couldn't help but feel he was shy like he wasn't used to being attracted to someone. I wonder if he was a virigin? I felt the burst of laughter before I fully understood it. Yeah right virigin?! He is dead sexy. 

Bryan: Goodnight Baby Girl. Lol

Cheryl: Oh you flatter me so lover boy ;) ... night! night!

Even close to midnight she always has a way of being bubbly it was my best explanation I could come up with to describe Cheryl she was loyal and beautiful. The nagging feeling at the back of my head about why others hated her, looked at her with disgust still bothers me but I know one day when she can truely delve deep into her secrets with me I'll know. If she doesn't thats okay too, because I trust Cheryl. I've never been one for the it crowd.

Smiling at my phone one last time, I set on the night table next to my bed and snuggled under the blankets of my fluffy quilt. Warmth encased me and I sighed in delight.

THE TRUCKS ENGINE eventually died, as I gripped onto the steering wheel. I was so nervous I felt like I wanted to burst. Looking up from my hands that were white knuckled from gripping too hard, mouve blue eyes met grey. 

I felt like my entire body froze over except for the pounding of my heart in my chest. He was standing there looking at me a few yards away, no shirt on, sweaty holding a small pale of hay.  He was gorgeous, his muscles seemed to shine in the sunlight. I felt the color in my cheeks before I looked at myself in he rear view mirror. 

Gathering what courage I could, I opened the door and hopped out. The dirt crunches under my feet, as I slammed the truck foor and walked towards him.

"Hey" I said with a small smile. He just looked at me, silent as ever. He shifted his eyes from me to the forest, to the truck to his house and then back to me.

"Hey" he grunted out.

"Why are you avoiding me?" I questioned it was now or never.

"I ..." he stopped and put the hay down. I watched his adams apple bob, as he swallowed, I can only imagine he was nervous. He looked away from me when he spoke, "Look Bryan, What I said was wrong of me to say ....so let's just pretend it didn't happen. I'm too old for you as it is. It's not right, so just ignore it"

I felt the crushing weight of his words in my chest and for a moment I forgot how to breath. This was not the out come I was expecting getting up early just to come see him to get some answers. Wheres the romantic aspect, this just hurt. I should of known it was just too good to be true, that anything could happen. Cause it always happened to me.

"Yeah ...sure" I smiled, like a crack in my face, it never reached my eyes and even if I tried I don't think it ever could. The frown on his face just hurt me even more, it didn't offer any type of comfort nor did the pity in his eyes. It enraged me. Clenching my mouth shut, I turned and walked back to my truck, hoping in I didn't even glance at him as I drove away.

Halfway downt he road, I slammed my hand into the steering wheel over and over again, cursing to the silence around me. Cursin Jay Carter for ever giving me any sense of hope. I was a hopeless case, I felt the burn in my eyes before I felt the trail of tears of my cheeks. Sniffling I whiped my cheek and blinked through the tears. Reaching for the radio and turned it on, Luke Bryan was playing, I could feel my shoulders sagged as I let the music sooth me.

"She was like Oh My god, this is my song. I've been listening to the radio all night long" I sang loudly turning up the music, "Sittin' 'round waitin' for it to come on and here it is,She was like, come here boy, I wanna dance, 'Fore I said a word, she was takin' my hand,Spinnin' me around 'til it faded out
And she gave me a kiss, And she said, play it again, play it again, play it again, And I said, play it again, play it again, play it again" in that moment, I choked on my own sobs I couldn't even control. Pulling over to the side of the road, I laid my head on the steering wheel and cried.  What was wrong with me?! We weren't anything, we were never going to be anything, so why did it hurt so much when I thought about it? Why was this so different?

((A/N: There you go! another chapter, he is such an ass!! lol ...song he is singing is Play it Again by Luke Bryan.))
