Gunner walked up to me and leaned down and wrapped his arms around me as he lifted me up to give me a kiss.
“You look beautiful Ells. Did you pack enough pairs of jeans sweetheart?” He said as he slowly lowered me to the ground. I loved nothing more than when he did that. To be so close to his body was amazing. I wonder what having sex would be like with him?
Wait…. What??? Holy fuck where did that come from?
“Nothing is wrong if you’re going to the beach or I guess the mall or something. For Christ sakes Ari we are going out to a fucking cattle ranch. If you bend over a little I can probably see your ass those shorts are so fucking short. ”
Ari looked at Jeff and gave him that signature smile of hers. “Well it’s a damn good thing this ass does not belong to you now isn’t it. You don’t have to worry about it!” Ari smacked her ass with her hand and gave Jefferson a wink.
“Whatever squirt. If you want guys looking at you like you’re some kind of whore that’s up to you. Let me guess the giant suitcase right here is yours?”
Ari smiled and walked up to Jefferson as he picked up her suitcase. She stood on her tippy toes and purred up at him. “Are you jealous that the other cowboys will be looking at me and fantasizing about how good of a rider I might be?”
Jefferson dropped Ari’s suitcase and it almost landed on her left foot. Ari was stilling leaning in close to Jefferson as she gave him a wink.
“Be careful there Jeff…I have very important items in that suitcase that I need to take care of……. certain…. . . needs……. ”
Jefferson looked over at Gunner and me and shook his head as if he was trying to erase an image. He quickly picked up her suitcase and walked out the front door. Gunner started laughing as soon as the front door shut. I mean really…. . I think Ari just entertains the hell out of Gunner. I hit his shoulder and looked at Ari.
“Arianna! That was just plain MEAN! You and I both know you do NOT own any such items! And you……Gunner stop laughing. It’s not funny. She is going to give poor Jefferson a heart attack by the end of the week. ” I said as I stared at both of them. They were both trying not to laugh but doing a piss poor job of it.
“WHAT!? I have my flat iron and hair dryer in that suitcase! Those are very important items to me. Gesh Ellie…. get your mind out of the gutter you perv!”
Gunner reached down and grabbed my suitcase and started to head out to the truck. “Come on ladies…. let’s blow this popsicle stand!”
I was so excited I could hardly stand it! I grabbed my purse and stuck my iPod and my headphones into it as quick as I could. I followed Ari out of the house and locked the door behind me! Ari leaned over and whispered in my ear.
“DO NOT make me sit in the back seat with Jeff or I will fucking kill you!”
I started to giggle when I saw Jefferson jump in the front seat of Gunner’s truck. “I think you scared the shit out of Jefferson…. he wouldn’t sit next to you even if you paid him to!”
Ari looked over at the truck and then back at me and we busted out laughing. Gunner walked up and picked me up and spun me around. I let out a little yell as he gave me another kiss. He smiled at me and leaned in close to my ear.
“Do you want to sit in the front with me sweetheart? I can kick Jeff into the back seat with the whore!”
I started to laugh and hit his back. “Put me down and no! I’ll sit with Ari in the backseat. I think if Jefferson and Ari had to sit near each other that long they would end up killing each other and that would ruin my first trip out to the country!”
“Agreed! Let’s go baby. ” Gunner walked over to open the truck door for me.
Ohhh…. . I secretly wished he called me baby all the time. I was not sure why I liked it so much. I mean…the way it came out of his mouth it just sounded so…….
“Fuck its hot when he calls you baby. ” Ari said to me with a wink.
“Yeah, it is hot isn’t it?!. ”
Ari jumped into the truck and slid all the way behind Gunner’s seat. Gunner held my arm as I got in. Shit the electric jolt that traveled through my body when he touched me was unreal. Would I ever get use to it? He gave me one last peck on the cheek, smiled and shut the door. He jogged around the front of the truck and got in. He looked over at Jefferson and smiled!
“Alright! Let’s get the hell out of the city and get us some fresh country air!” Gunner said with a smile.
Gunner looked back at me winked and smiled.
“We have to listen to a little music to get us in the mood!”
Gunner hit play and “Banjo” by Rascal Flatts started to play. Jeff and Gunner both gave each other a fist bump and said at the same time…. .
“Hells yeah!”
I looked over at Ari and she looked at me.
