Trust the Cowboy

Chapter Ten

     "So, where are we going?" I asked Tatum, while looking out the window. I then looked back at Tatum and noticed his smirk.

     "It's a surprise." And that was all that he would say.

     "Please tell me!" I whined, "You're not going to kill me are you?" Tatum looked at me as if I lost my mind. Which, I probably did.

     "No, I'm not going to kill you." he said. I nodded my head in approval. In the distance I could hear a train honk it's horn and it's bell jingling. "We should play twenty questions." Tatum said.

     "Why?" I asked him.

     "Because it would be a fun way to get to know each other." he said," I'll start. What's you favorite color?"

    "Navy Blue," I answered. "Do you prefer basketball or football?"

     "Football. How long have you rode horses?" 

     I froze at that question. That question brings too many night mares. And I don't want nightmares or flashbacks. "All my life. What about you?"

     "All my life too. Do you prefer George Strait or Willie Nelson?" 

     "George Strait." I said," What is your favorite color?" Tatum pondered on the question for a moment.

     "Forest Green." He didn't ask me another question but before I could question him he interrupted before I could utter a word. "We're here." I looked around me and I was in shock. I was so beautiful here. There was a massive lake with the tallest pine trees that have seen in a long time. It was partly cloudy and on the other side of the lake was a cliff.

     "It's beautiful here." Tatum only nodded in response. And before I knew it he was already at my side of the truck opening up my door. "Thank you." I told him. He smiled at me with his green eyes twinkling. Tatum grabbed a basket out of the back seat and looked at me.

     "I hope you like Olive Garden."
********************************

     We pulled up to my trailer and Tatum and he once again insisted that he opens the door for me. "I had a good time tonight." I told him.

    "Me too." he said. 

We walked to my trailer door and before I opened it he asked me something,"Do I have permission to give you a good night kiss?" I looked at him and smirked.

    "I already gave you one." I said referring to earlier when I wished him good luck. Before he could say anything I wished him another good night and shut my trailer door behind me. It took a minute but then I could hear him get in his truck and drive away. Luckily, Jordan fell asleep and I was left to my own thoughts. I enjoyed the date. But then I paused as I realized something.

     I might be falling for Tatum West.
