I woke up to a knock on the camper door so I opened it up an see my dad, mom, an Beth. "It's pouring down outside we need to move the camper an horses to harder ground before we get stuck." Dad says. I go an wake Beau up then through my jacket an boots on an went out the door an loaded the horses with dad while mom an Beth moved everything around in the camper so nothing will break. "Take my truck an get your mom an Beth to the hotel an check in we will be on are way." Dad says tossing me keys. I get mom an Beth in the truck an drive to the hotel an check us in. "I hope they are Ok it's starting to get pretty bad out there." Beth said. "Just calm down they got this mom call whoever that has the kids an tell them we can't leave because it's storming." I say. Mom an nervou run off to do that while I wait at the door for dad an Beau. Once I see them I run an help them with the horses an to get the bags. "Dixie you done good now you an Beau get up to the room an go relax just no funny business." Dad says. We go upstairs an into the room an I put in a movie an lay down with Beau. "Beau what did you an my dad talk about yesterday?" I ask. "I needed to talk to him about you an ask him a question." Beau says. "What was that?" I ask. "Well I was going to wait till later to ask." Beau says. "No please tell me wait ask." I say confused. "Yes ask meaning ask you a question that your dad said was ok for me to ask." Beau says. "Ok an what is that?" I ask. "Well Dixie Rose Jackson will you be my girlfriend." Beau ask. "Yes yes a million times yes." I say. I jump into his arms an he kisses me until we both can't breath. "I am glad you said yes Dixie you don't know how happy you have made me." Beau says. "I might have an idea now because I am also happy now kiss me cowboy." I say smiling. He kisses me again an it leads into us making out till there is a knock o the door an I go open it an mom hands me food. "Here ya go it's lunch time an I figured y'all were hungry so." Mom says smiling. "Thanks mom I was just about to come down has the storm let up yet." I say. "I kinda figured you was hungry an no dear it hasn't it's not sops to let up for another hour." Mom says. "Oh well Ok Thanks for the food." I say. "Your welcome sweetie I am going to go back to my room now see ya in a few." Mom says walking off.

The storm did let up an we loaded the horses back up an me an Beau got into my truck an fallowed dad back to Jackson, Mississippi. "So Dixie what we going to do when we get back?" Beau ask. "I am going to tend to my horse then go to sleep." I say. "You know when we get back home are relationship is going to change no more sleeping in the same bed an kissing when we want to." Beau says. "Yea I know but it does mean dates for real." I say smirking. "Yep an I got are first date all planned out." Beau says. I smile at him an grab my phone an snap a picture of us together an then of are hands an post it to Facebook saying finally found the country boy I been waiting for. I made Sure to show my purity ring in both pictures so nobody would say anything. My aunt Frances came back with saying oo wee he looks like a keeper but uncle says he got to go through his check of frog gigging. "My aunt said that my uncle says you have to go through the frog gigging check before we can really date." I say. "Sweet I love frog gigging then frying them up mam makes the best sweet potato pie to go with it two sounds like a family get together to me." Beau says laughing. "Ask my dad first Beau before you go planning something now." I say laughing at him. "I will but I still want the sweet potato pie." Beau says. "I bet you do an look we are stopping at a gas station." I say. Beau turns in after my dad an Parks at the pump an I get out an go check on Brownie an Duke.

We got to the farm around midnight an Dixie was fast a sleep so I parked an went around an picked her up an her mom opened the doors for me an I laid her into her bed so she can sleep an went back an helped unload the horses an luggage. "Hey Beau Thanks for watching over my little girl these four weeks." Her dad said. "Sir I would watch over her even if you never asked she has become my whole world." I say. "Your a good man Beau keep her happy for me." Her dad said. Before I could say anything else he walked away an I was walking to the guest house an going to bed.
