Lonely Cowboy Looking For....

28

         Rebecca knew in that moment that one day she would marry this man and together they would build a life. She couldn't stop smiling as they finished shopping and checked out. They were fixing to leave when an older woman stopped them and said "Rebecca Dear, it's nice to see you. I've missed our chats." Rebecca smiled warmly at the lady and said "I've missed them as well. This is my Boyfriend Kyle. Kyle this is Martin's mom Elizabeth." Elizabeth smiled at him and said "Please take good care of her Kyle, unlike my son did." Kyle said "You don't have to worry about that Ma'am. She's safe with me always. It was good to meet you Ma'am but i'm afraid we have to go, we have an appointment in 20 minutes."

       Elizabeth said "Oh yes go on, I don't want to keep you. Rebecca could we have lunch next week?" Rebecca smiled sadly and said "I'm afraid not Elizabeth, you see i'm moving to be closer to my family. I already have a job in Texas, and were going to pick up the moving truck now. We will be on the road home by night fall." She said "I'm sad to see you go but I hope you will be happy in Texas."

       After they parted ways, Kyle hugged her and said "I take it you two were close." She said "Yes, we were very close. We spent lots of time together when I wasn't working." He said "I'm sorry you lost that Baby." She smiled at him and said "I am too, but we have a beautiful future to look forward to." They loaded up the groceries quickly and drove to pick up the rental truck, before making their way back to the apartment.

      When they pulled into the parking lot they saw Luca and Lu waiting. Kyle said " Looks like our help has arrived. We should get done fairly quick." They got out and headed up the stairs to the apartment. Once they all got inside and introductions between Lu and Kyle had been completed, Kyle said "So since you've already started the packing Baby. Why don't Lu and I start loading the truck, while you and Luca continue packing?"

     Lu said "Sounds good to me." Everyone agreed and the guys made a plan of attack for loading the truck. As they were making their way out the door with the first load the women heard Lu ask 'Do you really live on a ranch, with horses and everything?' The women looked at each other and started cracking up. Luca said "You know Lu has always wanted to go visit a Ranch. Kyle is going to have a million questions asked."

     Rebecca said "He's great with kids. He has two younger sisters, they are staying at the ranch right now while his parents are out of town." Luca said "So how did they take to meeting you?" Rebecca laughed and said "They got mad at Kyle for not telling them about me sooner and then the girls, his kids and I all went and made cookies." Luca said "He has kids?" Rebecca smiled and said "Two kids , Addie has Down Syndrome, she is 3. Tyler is 5 and the spitting image of Kyle. I love them both already and they seem to love me too."

       Luca smiled at her friend and said "That's great Becca. You were always meant to be a mother." Rebecca hugged her friend and said "I'm glad you have faith in me. I still worry about it." Luca laughed and said "Oh Honey all mothers do!" They were both laughing when the guys came back in. Lu said "Mom! Kyle said if you were okay with it, I can go visit the ranch this summer! Isn't that awesome? Can I go?"

        Luca shook her head as Lu bounded over to scoop up another box and head down the stairs. Kyle looked at Luca and smiled sheepishly before saying "I told him he had to ask, but we would be happy to have him visit. There's plenty of work for a boy his age to do. He said he gets bored during the summer." Luca said "It will depend on his grades and things. We've still got 6 weeks until he gets out for summer." Kyle winked and said "I bet a mention of those grades and you will see him studying like crazy."

     Kyle headed down the stairs and Rebecca laughed at the look on Luca's face. She said "Well you are always saying you don't know what to do with him over the summer. You're worried he will find himself in trouble. Now you have an option." Luca shook her head at her friend and grinned before replying "That Kyle is a keeper for sure. Now let's get to packing so we can get this place cleaned out!"
