a Western love story 2

SIX

Don sat at the kitchen table sitting infront of Sarah.

"Don, I forgive you." She said drawing his attention. He give her an add look.

"What?" He wanted to make sure hoping he didn't hear clearly.

"Yeah you slept with Baby but that's why you came back because you love me." She said touching his hand.

"Sarah, I'm inlove with Baby okay. Plus we did it more than once." He lied hoping that she would get off his back.

"Don, you're back that's all that matters." She said with a smile. "And I'm sure you didn't do it that much."

"We did in the stabbles, on her horse's back. In her bed. In the bathtub. In the mud with the pigs. We did it the whole time." He lied again trying to make it sound worste but she doesn't remove. "In the tree, in the open fields, while she was letting her snake Hurley go free, during dinner when she pretended to accidentally drop her spoon so that Sherley won't see. While I fixed the handle of her bathtub, did I mention on the horse's back because I swear I did..."

"That's enough." Sarah interrupted with a smile. "You had to make sure that you're over her."

"Sarah I don't love you anymore." He said straightforward.

"Oh you will after I'm done doing more than she could..." Sarah said and stood up.

"Sarah I'm getting back together with Baby." He lied making her take her seat again.

"Can I keep the karaoke?" She asked.

"Yes, you can. But you need to go stay with someone else because I'm selling this house to my boss." Don replied. Sarah nod and stood up walking out of the kitchen making Don give a big smile as he dial his boss's number.

Two months later

Baby stood next to Precious that's foot has recovered as she place her head unhappily against the horse.

"It's been two months Precious. He's not coming back. Unlike him Hurley came back." She mentally talked to the horse. "Four months left."

That moment an unknown car stopped there. The man of this place walk up to her looking around.

"Mister Johnson, can I help you?" She asked dearly.

"No I actually have to come and give what belongs to you." He replied giving her papers. "This is a beautiful place. Now it's yours."

"What's that?" She asked caught of gaurd.

"No one can try to take you away from this place again." He replied as she look down seeing it being all payed. Wait. Never mind payed. This place is bought for her.

"Uhmmm okay. Where do I sign?" She asked half speechless.

Sherley walk down the hallway bumbing into Don that was somehow in the house.

"Dad?"

"Shhht." He show her to be quiet.

"Mom thought you weren't coming back. What's going on?" She asked as he went into his room.

"I did what needed to be done. So I'm surprising her." He replied putting his suitcase on the bed.

"Mom is madly inlove with you dad." Sherley said before he could go further. He stop and look out the window at her that stood there caught of gaurd watching the strange man drive away.

"I know. So am I." He replied as she give him an add look. "I mean I am also inlove with her."

She gave a giggle as Baby came running into the house. Don laugh as he put on a hairy beard and moustache and glasses with a pet matching him as a coach or something.

"Sherley." She froze at the door frame looking at Sherley that's trying not to laugh and the stranger.

"Good day mam, I am a close friend of Sherley. I hope you don't mind if I stay here for a while." He said in some weird accent.

"Excuse me for a moment." Sherley said and walk out about to explode. Baby notice her strange behaviour before crossing her arms.

"Don't freak out but my snake Hurley is next to you." She said letting her arms down showing to it but the man just stood still as she walk around opening the window. "I keep letting him free but he knows his way home."

"What your snake? I thought you let that thing free. Or that's what Sherley said." He gave his voice away although it still sounded weird with the props on. She laugh as she took the snake from outside into her hands closing the window. She look at his face and give a glowing smile.

"I have uhmmm have never seen a much better act than Meryl Streep because she knew how to hide behind her character." She said and bring the snake up to her face taking a good look at it. She look back up at him giving a smile. "You look good in a beard. Maybe you should keep your real beard."

She laughed as she use her hand to take it off. He laugh and take the glasses and the hat off too.

"It's been two months. I haven't heard from you or even received a phone call." She said as he knew she was wondering why.

"Sorry, I was sort of busy." He apologised makig her laugh.

"So, do you want to hold Hurley?" She asked bringing the snake to his face.

"No thank you." He replied as she laugh bringing it back to her. "So, about the fake beard."

"Oh that was great. I see you do have a little facial hair. It's good don't cut it." She said hoping he'd take it as a comment.

"Well, Sarah always told me to cut it else she won't kiss me that's why I kept it." He laughed. She laugh and shook her head looking out the window.

"Don I..." she look up at him pulling in her lips before letting it go again. "I really want to say thank you. You did more than help me Don."

"Anything for you babe." He said as she gave him an add look.

"You haven't called me babe in a long time." She said with a bit of tears in her eyes. "Anyway, I want to go show you something now that you're here."

"Uhmmm okay, just give me a moment and I'll be down." He replied. She nod and walk out as he watch her leave.
