The Cowboy Guarantee

CHAPTER 15: Annie

When we finished, we laid there spooning with one another while facing the fire and him kissing my neck after placing a blanket on us both. It was so romantic.

"That was amazing baby." He tells me.

"Yes it was. The best, I'd have to say." I smiled.

We both laid there quietly for a few moments until I heard him say something.

"Annie?" He says.

"Yes?" I smiled.

"I..." he started but then was cut off from his phone going off.

I groaned in disappointment while he groaned in frustration and let out a frustrated breath.

He scrambles a little bit to look for his phone in his pants pocket then looks down at the screen and answers.

"Hey, hold on." He says and then looks at me and puts on his boxers before saying something to me. "I'll be right back, I need to take this."

I just nod while he walks away into another room while I continue to lay down in front of the fire, covering myself up and then as time went by and what felt like was hours, but really only almost half an hour long, I finally decided to get up and get dressed.

I am sure something was going on and suddenly, an old and unfamiliar feeling started to come over me. Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe he said all he did to me just to sleep with me.

After I got dressed, I quietly started to walk towards the room he was in where the door was halfway opened and his back was facing towards it and he was sitting downeaning forward in a chair and was lowly talking to someone still.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I need to know what the hell is going on before I jump to conclusions, or what may actually then out to be the truth. Yet, I don't want to interrupt him.

"Yeah, I know. But I just, I can't do that right now. No, I have.....a friend over. Alright, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye." He finishes and I swear my heart dropped to the bottom of my stomach as I quickly covered my mouth with my hand the moment he said 'friend', so that he didn't hear me.

I bet it was that slut Jessie and he just....suddenly, I see the door start to swing opened and I just stood there, fighting back tears as he stood there surprised I was here.

"You, ASSHOLE!" I tell him while fighting back tears and then hurry to turn around and start heading towards my purse and keys by the door before I feel his hand grab my arm and turn me around to face him.

"Annie, please!" He starts to beg and try to stop me.

"No! I don't know who the hell you were talking to, but if you are gonna be an asshole and tell someone that I'm just a friend, then expect me to be okay with it too, then you are wrong!" I snapped at him.

"I swear, I don't know how much you heard, but it isn't what you're thinking it is." He states.

"Oh no?! Then what the hell is it huh?! Who the fuck was that?! Jessie?" I fire back at him.

"No." He replies with tight lips and looks as though I have offended him.

"Then what??" I asked once again.

He looks almost like he is about to tell me but doesn't and that's when I just nod my head and turn to open the door but he shuts the door closes behind me as I feel his breath on the back of my neck.

"Let me out of here." I tell him.

"Not until you hear me out. I swear that I will tell you everything. Just, don't leave, please." He asks in a begging type of voice.

I take in a few breaths and sniffle then turn around to face him.

"As long as you tell me the entire truth of whatever is happening." I reply.

"I promise." He assures me.

I just nod in reply and then we sit down on the couch in the living room and he begins telling me something I was not expecting at all.
