Rope or Ride

I Want You

Jade was sitting by Viper's stall. She sat there thinking. 'What the hell? Did I just seen my ex in my trailer' She thought. Many questions kept floating around in her head. Viper stuck his head out from the stall. She looked up at him and smiled. She kissed his nose and he stuck his head back in. She was in deep thought when she heard someone walking. She turned around and saw LJ walking towards her. She tried to avoid contact but with him its impossible. She kept her focus on Viper.

When Ive been gone
When Im right here
And then my eyes open in the morning
Out on some highway
Or pulling into some drive way

"Jade" LJ questioned

"(clears throat) LJ"

"How you been"

"Better.. you"

"Some ol thing.. riding every weekend"

"And partying" Jade mumbled

"What"

"Nothing"

Blue clear sky or when the  thunderstorming
My mind just cant escape you
The first time I touched you
Thats when I knew

"Jade.."

"I didnt say anything"

"Thats quite a ring you got there"

"Yeah.."

"Engage" he questioned

"Not really.. it was a birthday gift" She lied

"Look Jade.. I just wanna know how you been doing"

I want you to trust me
I want you to love me
I want you to need me like Im something you cant lose
I want you to save me
I want you to crave me
Even when I cant find my way to you
If you ever once thought
anything im about
All it ever comes down to
Girl, I just want you

"which part? About our break up or how Ive been without you"

"does it matter"

"You tell me"

When you get rattled
When your coming all unraveled
When your holding everything together for me
The way you rebuilt me
The way that you feel me
The way you know Im holding something inside
Dont know what time has for us
But as long as Im here
Theres one thing Im sure of

"Were talking honesty here Jade"

"Oh.. you wanna talk honesty now.. lets hear your side"

I want you to trust me
I want you to love me
I want you to need me like Im something you cant lose
I want you to save me
I want you to crave me
Even when I cant find my way to you
If you ever once thought
Anything Im about
All it ever comes down to
Is girl, I just want you

Yeah I just want you

"Ive been miserable..."

"How so.. I'd figured you'd be happy living the single the life..."

"Living with guilt.. waking up in a empty bed.. Miss holding the one you loved.. miss waking up to a special someone... and I just cant get her out of my head"

I want you to trust me
I want you to love me
I want you to need me like Im something you cant lose
I want you to save me
I want you to crave me
Even when I cant find my way to you
If your ever once thought
Anthing Im about
All it ever comes down to
Is girl I just want you

"huh.. well Ive been great.."

"You dont seem like it"

LJ walked closer to her. She was afraid of what hes gonna do. She kept walking back until she fell on the bale of hay. She sat up and LJ was standing over her.

"I am.. now living the rodeo life.. the life I wanted.."

"What bout us"

"There is no us"

"You sure.. cause I know deep down.. your still not over us"

"Ha! Your funny..."

"You know how I can tell"

"Hmm.. do tell"

"You cant keep eye contact with me.. you try to hold back when you shouldnt.. and your always outspoken when you try to cover the hurt"

"Well done.. but no those are not my flaws"

"Really? cause the two years we've been together.. i picked up your flaws.. Like how you blush.. It starts from your cheeks then works its up... when your afraid to show how your feeling.. you tend to avoid eye contact.. and you start to be a little sassy.. Look Jade I could go on all night.. and not a day goes by that your not on my mind. I still love you"

"LJ.. Just please dont do this right now"

"Jade dont run from me.. dont run from whatever your feeling"

"Im not running away from nothing"

"Uh Huh.. so why did you rush into a relationship with Kollin"

"Because I love him"

"I dont believe you"

"You never believe me"

"No why?"

"why?"

"Cause I can see it.. I can see that Kollin is not the one you want to be with"

"Why you say that"

"Because I know you still have feelings for me.. your just to stubborn to admit it"

Jade sat there, trying to take in what LJ said. He was right. Maybe she only wanted to be with Kollin, just to get LJ off her mind. But what bout Kollin. Kollin the handsome team roper that loves her. The ring he gave her. Jade knew she still loves LJ. But is it the same type of love that she felt for him four years ago?

"I am not stubborn"

"Yes.. you are.."

"Sassy will work.."

"Knew it.. but how are you really feelin Jade"

"No words cant explain"

"about"

"My life"

"You and me?"

She nodded her head. She looked away. 'Did I just agreed with him' she thought. She looked up at him and all these feelings kept flooding. Tears started running.

"Lets try the theory.. go to dinner with me.. tomorrow night.. and if you dont feel anything.. than Ill let you be"

"LJ.. What are trying to accomplish here"

"To prove that I am still in love with you.. and to show you that your not over us"

"Im with Kollin... I cant be doing this"

"Please"

"Im sorry.. I just cant right now"

Jade was about to walk away but LJ grabbed her hand. He spun her around and landed his lips on hers. Jade tried with all her might to refuse to kiss back. She couldnt refuse his soft and warm kisses.

"is that a yes" LJ asked

"Can I think it over"

He shook his head.

"Please" she begged

"Need an answer Jade"

"Fine"

Jade turned in her heels but once again LJ grabbed her. He gave her one last kiss.

Yes I do
I just want you
