Prairies of Heart

Chapter 7

This is my wife, Carol; Bob said

Hi, Im Summer. These two are Madison and Mason and thats Henry; Summer said

Oh my goodness. They are so cute; Carol said kneeling down to Mason who hid behind Summer

I wish to only stay for the night. We have a long ways out west; Henry said

Yes, of course. We have an extra room. Our son moved out with his wife and supper is almost ready. I hope yall are okay with Mashed Potatoes and Beef Stew; Carol said pointing to the room

That actually sounds pretty nice; Summer said trying to remember last when she had a healthy meal

Well come on sit; Bob said

Madison and Mason sat next to one another as did Henry and Summer while Bob sat on the end with his wife. It was like a wooden picnic table. The cabin was lit brightly and reminded Summer of a elves home like she read in stories. Carol passed around the soup and potatoes. The kids didnt even bother to say thanks they dove in

Thank you, Im sorry for our manners; Summer said eyeing the kids

No worries, I remember our long journed. We actually came from Canada and its been a long time; Carol said

How long have you two been together; Bob asked Henry

Summer almost choked on the beef stew as she heard what he said so she grabbed a napkin and wiped the spilled broth off her mouth

We wedded last year and have know each other for only a few weeks before that. I kind of knew she was the one; Henry said winking at her

Summer immediately grew as red as tomato. He did not just say that did he? In front of complete strangers?. Summer suddenly had thoughts of her and him being together and she had to excuse herself from supper.

I apologize, I have to use the ladies room real quick; She said and dashed outside to urinate behind a tree. Summer started to panic as she heard the crunching of leaves and sticks. Oh crap! Please don't be an animal, she thought. Nope, it was worse. It was Henry. Summer dropped her dress immediately and tried to run back into the cottage but before she could, Henry grabbed her hand and spun her around then kissed her

You pervert!; She hollered making him smirk

Am I? Im only 21, Darling; He asked sarcastically

What was that for; She asked

New beginnings; He said and walked past her going back inside

Summer stomped her foot as this strange man had made her all hot and flushed. They only had just met 3 maybe 4 days ago, she had lost track. Snapping out of her thoughts she shivered and went back inside the cottage. Bob and Carol had already been asleep and so were the kids when she went in. It was her and Henry. She started to wonder, what it would be like if he kissed her again?
