“Do I have something on my face?”
“What? No.”
“Oh. Cause you were kinda just staring at me.”
“Sorry, Guess I was just daydreaming for a second.”
It didn’t really look like daydreaming to me but I decide to let it go.
“So, any ideas about what you want to do tomorrow for your birthday? I know you have your graduation at noon but we could go to dinner afterward if you want?” He asks.
“Oh, we can just make something here if that’s ok? I don’t really care for birthday’s so something low key would be awesome.”
“Sure, Sweets. Whatever you want.” He tells me with a smile.
I can feel myself start to blush and I frantically search my brain for something else to say but he beats me to it.
“Can I come to your graduation?” He blurts out.
“What?” I’m shocked that he would want to go to that.
Sitting in a hot gym with three hundred other kid’s families for a couple of hours doesn’t sound like that much fun to me.
“It will be hot and boring. It’s not like it’s that big of a deal. You don’t have to come.” I try to tell him but he’s not having it.
“Of course, it’s a big deal! I would love to come. Get to see you in your cap and gown walking across the stage.” He leans over and nudges me with his shoulder and he gives me a big smile.
“Um, ok. If you want to, I guess you can come. I have the tickets in my backpack.”
“I’ll be there.” He says right before one of the guys in the kitchen pokes his head around the corner and asks if he’s ready to get back to work.
“Yep, I’ll be back out there in just a minute, Tim.”
Tim nods his head before he disappears and I hear the other men file out the back door before it closes leaving us alone.
“I need to get back to it, but I’ll see you at dinner?”
“Yeah. Should I make something?”
“If you want to, that would be great. It will just be you and me.” He says before he grabs his empty plate and stands to leave.
He pauses before he takes a step though and turns back to me. Bending down, he places a quick kiss on my cheek.
“See you around 6.” He says before straightening and leaving me frozen on the couch staring after him.
Chapter7
Aaron
Iwalk out the back door with a smile on my face and my lips still tingling from where they pressed against her cheek. Tim, my foreman, gives me a knowing look when he sees me walking back towards the corral where we’ve been branding calves all morning. We’ve got another couple of hours left and then I can call it a day and get back to my Annalise.
She said that she was going to make dinner for us and I can’t wait to be alone with her for the rest of night. She seemed surprised when I first asked if I could go to her graduation but I saw the way her eyes lit up when I said that I really did want to go. I can’t wait to see her walk across the stage and then get to spend the day with her celebrating.
I also like that she’ll be eighteen and finally be legal for me to take her and make her mine. I’ve had fantasies about flying her to Vegas and marrying her tomorrow night and then spending the rest of the night putting a baby in her and tying her to me for the rest of our lives.
I don’t want to trap her though. I want her to choose me and to choose a life with me. I want her to be happy. I’ll just have to show her how our lives could be if she were to be mine.
