Lonely Cowboy Looking For....

26

They decided they would have time to run to town before picking up the rental truck. They stopped and picked up some more packing supplies before heading to a restaurant for lunch. He said "So where are we going for lunch?" She said " There's a diner here that has great food. We can walk since it's right down the block." He finished loading their supplies in the truck and then took her hand in his. He said "Alright Baby lead the way to this diner."

As they entered the owner Judy spotted them and waved to Rebecca. She made her way over and said "Becca Doll, where ya been lately? How's your mom? And who I this handsome?" Rebecca smiled and said "Judy this is Kyle, Kyle this is Judy. She owns the diner and has known me since I was just a baby. She's friends with mom." Kyle smiled and tipped his hat before saying "Nice to meet you Ma'am." Rebecca laughed as Judy fanned herself and said "Mom took a spill and broke her leg and hip. She had surgery a couple days ago. I've been in Texas, just came back to pack up my apartment." Judy said "You're moving away?"

Rebecca looked up at Kyle , who smiled down at her and Judy said "I'll take that as a yes. So you lost your heart to this cowboy, now you are leaving me." Kyle laughed and said "You're welcome to come and visit us on the ranch any time you like Ma'am." Judy laughed and said "I might just take you up on that Kyle. Now you kids go find a booth and i'll be with you all in a minute." Kyle placed his hand on the small of her back as they walked to a booth in the back, which made her smile up at him.

Judy watched as he escorted Rebecca to a booth and helped her sit before taking a seat himself, she smiled at how respectful this man was to Rebecca. She brought over a cup of coffee for Rebecca and said "What would you like Kyle?" He smiled and said "Coffee's fine Ma'am, Thank You." As she walked away Rebecca started laughing and Kyle raised his eyebrow at her saying "What's so funny Darlin'?" She said "I'm waiting for her to wack you for the ma'am stuff. She thinks it means shes old."

Kyle shook his head and mumbled something about yankee men and Rebecca laughed. Judy returned with his coffee, creamer and real sugar like she knew Rebecca preferred. She said "Here you go. Decided what you want to order yet?" Rebecca and Kyle placed their order and started making a plan of attack for packing while they waited. After their food was delivered and they started eating they heard a bit of a commotion at the entrance. Kyle turned to see Judy with her hands on her hips as she blocked the door, he heard her saying "You aren't welcome here. Leave now, I have the right to refuse service to anyone and the two of you will never be served here again."

Kyle turned back to Rebecca saying "Think she needs help?" When he looked at her face she seemed a little pale, he said "Baby, you okay?" She snapped out of it and smiled at him saying "I'm fine Cowboy. She doesn't need help, she might be older but can still beat someone if needed." He raised an eyebrow and said "So you know the two people she chased off?" She said "I do but I don't want you to go help chase them off." He watched her for a minute and said "It's your ex isn't it?" She shook her head because he could read her so well and laughed before saying "Yes it was Martin and he was with Lila my ex-best friend."

Kyle said "I would gladly go teach him some manners for you Baby, but if you didn't want me to I wouldn't. Now let's finish up with lunch and go to the grocery store to get things for the trip. We have about an hour until we pick up the truck." She said "Actually I wanted to call and see if we can push back picking up the truck until one that way we don't have to rush at the store. I wanted to stop and say bye to some of my friends here in town that own stores." Kyle picked up his cell and placed a call to the rental truck place who was happy to postpone pickup until 1 pm.

Rebecca thought about just how lucky she was to have came across his ad that night, and how happy she was sitting across from him now. She knew the start of love was there every time she looked at him. They finished up their meal and saying goodbye to Judy before heading down the street to her friend's toy store. Kyle pulled her close and kissed her sweetly before going into the store, where he knew she wasn't going just to say goodbye to her friend. He couldn't help but laugh when she said "We should look around for something for the kids before we go."

Rebecca said "Just what are you laughing about?" He pulled her tighter against him and said "I knew you weren't coming in just to say goodbye." She grinned and said "Babe we can't take a trip without coming back with something for the kids!" He pulled her close and whispered "Do you know how quickly I'm falling for you?" He kissed him sweetly and said "You aren't alone Cowboy."
