Lovin a Cowboy

Chapter Two:

Chapter Two:

Seth and Mary's -i found out that is Miley's father and mothers name- house is cute and cozy looking. It's in the country like way in the country. Theirs a barn and chickens running around their yard. The house looks so cozy and it feels like home.

Mary is the sweetest lady you will ever meet. She looks in her late twenty's and has long blond hair like her daughter but her eyes are blue and she looks a lot like someone i have seen before. They have a younger boy of four and shes pregnant with another.

Miley is fifteen years old and she works at the gas station when her mother and father are to busy. Shes sweet and offered to share her room with me until i am able to get my vehicle fixed. Fore some reason she has two twin beds in her room so i get one and she gets the other. I was grateful but i still dont want to stay here because i feel that i am intruding but they insisted.

Hopefully i can find someone to fix my car. I have called around to the little mechanic shop here and to the ones around but they are all closed because of the after effect of the storm. "It's no use dear." Mary says as i call back to the mechanics shop. I have enough money to buy a brand new car and then some but i dont want to i loved my car and thats that. So i want it fixed but everyone is fixing what the storm has caused.

"I know but i need to leave. My father needs me. I was suppose to sing and praise dance at a church not to far away from here. My father flew but i was driving because i had to work the night he left." I explain because i dont want them to feel that i dont want to be here because they are good people.

Mary sits beside me and says "Call em."

I search my pockets and come up empty handed. "My cell is in the car."

She purses her lips and hands me the house phone. Smiling sheepishly i take it and put in daddy's number. The phone rings once before it is answered. "Hello?" daddy says sounding distressed.

"Daddy its me."

He heaves a great sigh of relief. "Oh baby girl you don't know how happy i am to hear your voice. I have been praying all day. When you didn't get here this morning i got worried that you got caught in the storm passin through Texas."

"I did thats why im calling. My car has been totaled and i am having trouble finding someone to fix it." I explain with an exhausted sigh.

"Well baby girl hopefully you can get here before Sunday."

"Hopefully daddy." Today is Tuesday and i dont think anyone will be in so soon but a girl can hope.

"I'll be praying for you baby girl. Make sure you pray and eat get some sleep you sound tired. Call me everyday and tell me how you are. Got it?" He asks with authority i think sometimes he forgets i'm twenty-four.

"Got it daddy love you."

"Love you to baby girl. Don't forget what i told you."

Before i hang up i reassure him that "I wont." and hang the phone up handing it back to Mary. "Thanks so much he was freaking out."

Mary pats me on my shoulder as she gets up to return to phone to its receiver. "Yu'll be fin Snow. Mi brother is bringing ya cases ova later. Hungry?"

My stomach growls showing her that i am starved and she giggles going into the kitchen with me following closely behind. She gets out things to make sandwiches and makes us a few. When she sets it infront of me i thank her says a quick prayer and chow down.

"I'm home." a familiar deep accented voice shouts through the house.

"In ere Elijah." Mary calls back.

Seconds later my cowboy walks through the door holding my bags. He gives me a smile and motions to my bags. "Reckin these clothin needa washin?"

"Thank you so much Leo." i say because i dont know his name and its August. Leo's are born in August so i figure why not. Taking the bag i feel and its soaking wet. "Does this town have a laundry matt?" i ask hopefully because if they dont have a motel i doubt they have a laundry matt.

"No ma'am an the names Elijah. Where'd ya happen cross Leo?"

Shrugging my shoulders i say "Leo's easier to say and i met you in August Leo's are born August." Nodding in understanding he says "What's ya name tadpole?"

"Snow." i say simply pulling my clothes out of the bag frowning.

"We've got ah wash." Mary informs me taking my clothes from me i smile at her greatful as she leave the rooom with them.

"Snow?" he says trying it out and i love the way it rolls off of his toung. "Why Snow?"

"My eyes i guess when i was born they were so white my parents just named me Snow."

Leo gets closer to my face and looks deeply into my now silver eyes. "Reckin yous was blind?"

"Actually thank the Lord my vision has always been excellent. The Doctors thought i was going to be blind but turns out i had twenty twenty vision." They never knew why it was like that but i am lucky it was because i wouldnt have wanted to be blind but if that was God'd plans for me i would have happily accepted it.

He looks deep in though and then he nods his head slowly trying to understand it. I just laugh at him because no one understands but the Lord.

"Yous clothin are in the wash. They should be done shortly." Mary informs me as she comes back into the room.

"Thank you so much. I should only be here a day or so. Hopefully someone calls me back before Sunday." Tiredly i set back at the table and continue eating my lunch. I need to get some sleep.

"Ya'll reckin she should bunk with me?" Leo says and i look at him with a raised eyebrow. Quickly he tries to fix what he said. "I mean i have more room since its just myself."

Mary nods in agreement and says "If nun calls back tomorrow i reckin she should. The children can be rather loud."

"That would be fine as long as im not intruding on you. I would really like to find a motel because i seem like such a bother."

Leo smiles showing a mouth full of perfectly white teeth. "Now yous ain't a bit of a bother tadpole. I've got three extra rooms and i reckin you could get more rest over mines."
