Oneshots - Kayce Dutton Book 2

I'm always your call.

Request - Hey, I don't know if you've gotten a request like this before but I'd love to see a oneshot about the female character getting into some trouble (dangerous kind lol). And rather than going to kayce for help (bc they're on some kind of "break" because of monica) she goes to rip. Kayce finds this out and he gets into an altercation with Rip over it due to jealousy.

You were quiet as Rip drove you back to the ranch. The two of you hadn't spoken a word to each other for about twenty minutes now. You saw Rip glance at you again out of the corner of your eye. 

"What?" You asked him. 

"Are you okay?" Rip asked. 

"Fine," You sighed. 

"You don't look fine," Rip grunted. 

"Well...you asked how I was not how I looked," You turned your head to look at him. 

"Why'd you call me?" Rip asked. 

"What do you mean?" You asked. 

"Why not Kayce?" Rip looked at you. 

"I'm not talking to him right now," You said. 

"Y'all fighting again?" Rip smirked. 

"Ain't a fight if only one side is talking," You muttered. 

"Monica?" Rip asked. 

"Isn't it always?" You sighed. 

"You gotta learn that she's always gonna be around," Rip said. "They got a kid...kids make things messy." 

"Tate isn't messy," You defended. 

"But grownups are," Rip chuckled. 

"Fathers are," You said. 

"What'd he do?" Rip asked after a few seconds of silence. 

"It's what he didn't do," You crossed your arms. 

"Alright," Rip nodded. "What didn't he do?" 

"He just..." You paused for a second. "He just doesn't talk to me about her." 

"Monica?" Rip asked. 

"Yeah," You sighed. "He won't tell me things and I don't know why. I don't know if he doesn't trust me, doesn't want me to know, doesn't care." 

"Kayce ain't cared for anyone like he does you, Y/N," Rip told you. 

"He's got a weird way of showing it," You muttered. 

"Maybe the poor fucker is scared to death of you leaving him if he shows you his faults?" Rip offered as he pulled into the ranch.

"I didn't decide to start this relationship with Kayce because I thought he was perfect," You looked at Rip. "I want to know his faults...he knows mine." 

"That kid thinks you hung the fucking moon, Y/N," Rip laughed. 

"He needs to talk to me," You said. "He needs to give me more...he can't just...he can't keep separate lives." 

"Have you told him that?" Rip pulled up to the main house. 

"Yes," You said. 

"Or did you yell at him?" Rip looked at you. 

"He deserved it," You blushed. 

"Trust me," Rip opened his door. "Kayce deserves every ass whopping you give him...but maybe to get your point across you might want to try having a conversation with him." 

You got out too and met Rip at the front of the truck. 

"You can start now," Rip muttered and walked off toward the foreman's cabin.
