Love Me Like a Love Song

Blame it on Your Truck

Steele

After church, Ace and I slowly made our way outside, both of us watching David as he glared across the street at us

"Well...thank you for helping me with David again this morning." Ace mumbled, looking down at her boots as we walked

"No problem." I grinned, opening the door of her truck for her and leaning against it while she jumped in and looked at me

"If I can ever help you with something let me know, okay." She demanded, pointing at me

"I think there is something you can do for me, you can agree to go out with me tonight." I told her, still leaning against the door, which was still open. A look crossed her face as I assumed she remembered my reputation, but never the less she nodded

"Okay. But if you fuck up I'll kick the shit out of you." She threatened, poking me in the chest, leading me to grin

"Duly notted. I'll pick you up at 5:00, and I wouldn't dress too nicely, just whatever you usually wear." I told her, gently closing the door and walking towards my truck, sending another grin and a wink over my shoulder at her before hopping into my truck, turning it on a pulling out onto the road.

Ace

I pulled into my parking spot at about noon and turned off my truck before sliding out before making my way into the house

"Hey baby girl, how was Church?" My mother asked from where she stood making tea

"Good. And I'm going out tonight, is that okay?" I asked, leaning on the counter beside her

"To a party or with a guy?" She asked, coughing

"A guy." I admitted, playing with a tea package

"Do I know him?" she questioned, swishing the brown liquid around in her cup

"Yeah...I'm going out with Steele Grahms." I mumbled, not looking at her, hearing her choke and start coughing

"Who?!" She asked again, still coughing

"Steele Grahms." I repeated slowly, finally looking at her

"Why Steele? Why not Kale Jacobson, or Xavier Barns?" She asked, staring at me questionably

"He's helped me out a couple times, and he asked me to go out with him tonight, so I said yes." I told her

"Okay, just be careful." She mumbled before taking another drink of her tea

"Promise." I smiled, kissing her cheek before bouncing upstairs to change into some work clothes. After changing into some ripped jeans, a tank top and a baseball cap I went to feed the horses before saddling up and riding out on my horse Molly to check the cows.

I got home at about 4:00 and decided I should probably get ready to go out with Steele. Once I was in the shower, my mind drifted to Steele, he was good looking, that was for sure. His dark hair usually had a sexy messy look to it, and it stuck out slightly from under his hat. He was tall and strong, and he knew how to work. There was always a mischievous look in his eye, but you could tell he was kind and caring. Shaking the thoughts from my mind, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around my torso before walking back into my room, slipping on a matching black lace bra and panty set and walking to my closet and looking through its contents. I finally settled on short cut off shorts and a white tank top, adding my boots before straitening my hair and wandering downstairs to wait. Moments after I sat down, there was a knock at the door

"I'll get it." I smiled, grabbing my phone and walking to the door, kissing both my parents on the cheek as I left

"Hey Steele." I smiled as I opened the door. He was in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt, a baseball cap on his head

"Hey, you ready to go?" He asked, looking down at me with a smile

"Sure am." I grinned, stepping out and closing the door and noticing a quad in the back of his truck "so what are we doing?" I asked, bouncing down the stairs as he chuckled at my child like behavior

"Well, I was thinking grabbing some McDonalds before going mudding." He grinned, opening the door for me

"Sounds great!" I grinned before he closed the door and walked around to the drivers side of the truck. We got two Big Mac meals with Apple Pies, put it in the backpack we were taking with us and parked down by the river, unloading the quad and starting off, him driving and my arms wrapped around his waist. We drove for an hour and a half before stopping in a clearing along then river, both of us hungry. We talked and got to know each other while we ate. I learned that he loved the color grey, he loved animals, and wanted to take over his families farm when he was older

"So are you working the farm with your father until he retires?" I asked, taking a bite of  my burger

"I'm not sure, my father and I seem to be on opposing sides when it comes to the farm. He wants to sell it, I want to keep it." He explained, tossing a fry in his mouth and shrugging, though you could tell it bothered him

"Is that why you weren't sitting with him and your mother today in Church today?" I asked, hoping I wasn't overstepping my boundaries by asking him that

"Yeah, it is." He mumbled, looking at me "how about you, what do you want to do when you turn 18?" He asked, finishing his burger

"I'm helping my father with the ranch until  he retires, then I'm taking it over." I explained, biting into my pie as I looked at him. Once we were done eating, we were off again, heading back towards where he had parked his truck.

Nearly two hours later, we'd parked the quad next to his truck and were sitting in the truck box staring up at the stars

"I don't think I've ever gone on a date quite like this one." I mumbled, not taking my eyes off the stars

"Then I'm the only awesome guy you've ever gone out with." He teased, poking me in the ribs, causing me to giggle and squirm

"Cut that out." I giggled, trying to get away, which was difficult in the confines of the truck box

"Oh is someone ticklish?" He asked, grinning as he sat up and looked at me

"No." I lied, refusing to look at him. Suddenly he was tickling me again, grinning while I laughed and squealed, trying to get his fingers off of me. Suddenly he was straddling my hips, both my hands captured in one of his hands as he continued to tickle me

"S-stop I c-cant br-breathe!!" I screamed "P-Please Steele! S-Stop!" I giggled, squirming some more before he slowly stopped and looked down at me with a slight smile on his face as he held my hands above my head

"You know your gorgeous." He mumbled quietly, almost like he hasn't meant to say it out loud

"Uh...thanks." I mumbled, looking up at him

"No problem...I should probably get you home." He explained, standing up and helping me to my feet. After loading the quad, we jumped in the cab and he started it before making the drive back to my families ranch. It was a quiet drive. Neither of us seeming to know what to say

"Stop the truck." I demanded about a kilometer away from the entrance to the ranches long driveway

"What? Why?" He asked, looking over at me

"Just do it." I demanded again, more fiercly than before. He pulled over to the side of the road and put it in park

"What's wrong?" He asked, looking over at me. Without giving myself time to back out, I pulled his face to mine, pressing my lips against his. One of his hands tangled itself into my hair while the other gripped my hip. Roughly he pulled me across the console between us and pulled me tightly against his body. With a gasp, I pulled back to catch my breath, breathing heavily as he started trailing kisses down my neck to my collar bone

"Your dad's gonna kill me ya know, for having you home so late." He mumbled against my throat as his teeth nipped at the skin at my collar bone

"I guess we'll have to blame it on your truck then won't we?" I grinned, pressing my lips back to his.
