She nodded and took a sip of her coffee. “Thanks for telling me how you feel.”
She didn’t say anything else and I was worried she didn’t feel the same. I wanted her to tell me she didn’t want to go either and she was going to stay here so we could be together.
I set my mug down on the table next to us. I took hers and did the same. I pulled her onto my lap and positioned us so we were still wrapped in our blankets, but she was straddling me. I touched her face with my fingertips. “I want to make love to you again out here as the sun comes up. This is where it all began.”
She bit her lip and nodded, moving so I slid inside of her easily. We held each other tight and she buried her face in my neck. She was grinding her hips against me and I could tell from her rapid breathing she was getting close to release.
“Come with me, baby,” I whispered, my lips on her ear and my hot breath against her skin.
She nodded again and let out a harsh breath when she released. I soon followed after, thrusting hard up into her and holding onto her when I came deep inside her.
I heard a sniffle come from her and moved so I could look at her face. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “What’s wrong?” I asked, concerned I hurt her.
“I don’t want to leave you,” she hiccupped. “I love you.”
“Baby, I love you too.” I reached up and wiped the tears away. “Don’t worry, we’ll figure it out. I’m not going to let you get away from me.”
She smiled and took a shaky breath. I gave her a confident smile, but on the inside I was worried. What future did this country boy have with a city girl?

Kara
“Fallin’ For You”
Iwas almost late in opening the diner Saturday morning thanks to JT and his antics in the shower. He dropped me off and we made plans for him to come get me later.
He kissed me softly before I got out of his truck. “Thanks for last night.” He kissed me again. “And this morning.” He grinned and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“I feel like I should be thanking you. But I’m going to be so tired today with no sleep.” This time I kissed him. “Totally worth it though.”
A few cars pulled into the parking lot and I reluctantly pulled away from him. “I have to go before I have angry customers.”
“I’ll pick you up at three. Just call or text if you need me sooner.” He had to work at the shop today like he did every Saturday.
“I will.” I reached for the door handle on the truck when he put a hand on my arm to stop me.
“I love you, Kara.”
A shiver went up and down my spine. I don’t think I would ever get tired of hearing him say that. “I love you too, JT. But I have to go now.”
“I know,” he laughed. “See you later.”
I opened the door and jumped out of the truck, rushing to unlock the door of the diner. I turned on the lights and got a few things ready before turning the open sign on. The place was quickly filled with customers and I had no time to even think about JT.
Around mid-morning I took a break so I could send JT a text. I hadn’t looked at my phone since last night and I wasn’t surprised to see a few texts from Brittany and a couple of voicemails from Grandma. I even had one from my parents.
I sent JT a quick text to let him know I missed him and then listened to my voicemails. I almost dropped the phone when I heard the one from my parents. It was my mother and she mentioned they were coming to visit today. Shit! They wanted to talk to me about coming back home.
I had been in denial so far this summer, living in the moment and not thinking about them. I always knew in the back of my mind they wouldn’t want me living here or dating someone like JT, but I didn’t care. At first I was having fun with him, not sure if it would even be more than a summer fling. I knew it was so much more than that now.
My hands shook as I hit the keys to delete the message. I listened to one from Grandma. She warned me about my mother’s call and told me the doctor gave Grandpa the ok to get back to work in a couple of weeks.
I couldn’t go home, not now. My parents would freak if they found out I wanted to stay here. They had very different ideas of how I should live my life.
My mom grew up living a simple life with Grandma and Grandpa here in Mountain. She wasn’t very content, envious of the people that had cottages on the lake who came for the weekend. She managed to snag my dad, a surgeon from Madison, and got the hell out of town.
We came to visit all the time, but my mom had gotten snobby now that she was married to a doctor. She would look down on some of the locals sometimes and I could always hear her arguing with Grandma that she had raised her different than that.
