Cowboy Kind of Love

Bear

There was a band playing and I ordered a bucket of beer and a glass of straight bourbon. I couldn't believe dad had cancer and had not told anyone. I couldn't lose him, that man was my world and always had been.

"How you doing sweetheart, can I get you a drink?"

"I got my own." I said motioning to the liquor around me. I already had two beers and was nursing my second glass of bourbon. I didn't even look at the guy but knew he was watching me.

"You're in my seat, get out of here." I smiled hearing Rip's voice as the guy apologized and quickly scattered away. He sat next to me and I finally turned my head looking at him as he sat down.

"Kinda shit you getting into tonight?" He asked. He had on jeans, his hat, a jacket and a shirt.

"Want a beer?" I asked taking the lid off one and handing it to him. I held my glass out as a small smirk crossed his face as he clinked his bottle to mine as we drank.

"You look good in neon." He said turning to me.

"Who doesn't." I replied as he smiled softly laughing. A slow song was playing and he stood pulling me up with him and to the dance floor. He twirled me around before pulling me to his arms as we slow danced and I looked into his brown eyes before I laid my head on his shoulder and my arms were around his neck. We danced a while and then he led me outside stopping in front of my car.

"Nah I'll send one of the boys to get this, already on the way."

"What-"

"Not letting you drive when you been drinking, you're with me." Rip closed the door after I got in before he got in and started the truck. He drove to his cabin, bypassing taking me to the main house. I got out of his truck and walked in. I grabbed him kissing him while I took his jacket pushing it off his shoulders. "You been drinking Lex."

"Not drunk Rip, I know how to hold my liquor. Fuck me." He looked at me and seeing how serious I was pulled me into his arms as his lips pressed against mine. He lifted me in his arms carrying me to his room before lying me on the bed.

"God Rip." I moaned out.

"Fucking beautiful Lexi." I looked at him meeting his intense gaze. He bent his head kissing me again. I moaned in his mouth nails digging into his back as I came, minutes later Rip doing the same. He lightly kissed my shoulder and neck before making his way to my lips pressing a kiss to them before rolling off me. I woke up the next morning with the sun high in the air and my phone ringing non-stop. I had slept all goddamned day. I could hear dad talking and made my way downstairs seeing him outside with Jaime and Beth.

"Nice to see you two actually look like you care and showing emotion. Only person who ever cares is Alexis.

"That's not funny." Beth responded. I knew he had told them about the cancer scare. I looked at my phone and saw it was Kayce calling and answered.

"What Ka-"

"Lex."

"What's wrong?"

"It's Monica, get dad we are at the hospital."

"What happened."

"She got hurt breaking up a fight caused a brain injury." I walked up to dad grabbing him.

"We were talking."

"Fuck off Jamie." I looked at dad as we walked off.

"What's wrong baby girl?"

"Kayce, Monica had surgery for a brain injury breaking up a fight, she's awake but Tate don't need to be there, we need to check on them and take Tate."
