That Kiss

Lou couldn't believe that kiss

How the hell was she to handle this

No, she needed to let Buck go.


"You're brother is the better kisser

you know," Lou teased.

Buck looked at her none too pleased.


"Well, maybe I ought to try again?"

There was that smirk,

That made her heart go berserk.

Oh how she wanted him too but then...


Lou handed him a box

Giving him a present now

Seemed a bit unorthodox


"What's this?"

He opened it and with surprise

A brand new set of carving knives.

He wonder what it could all mean

But Lou had already left the scene


Buck had followed close behind.

Finally making up his mind.

He told Lou about his past.

She didn't seem at all aghast.


Now having a little hope

He prayed he wasn't called a dope

But just had to ask, even if he took some flack

"What if you just sent Brody back?"


"Uh, NO! I'm not leaving her here.

You and your brother

are just a nuisance I fear.

Shamus won't care

what happens to you.

So, long as I come back with Lou."


"Brody's right you know.

It won't matter if I stay or go.

Shamus will come for me either way.

It's just better for everyone if I don't stay."


"Maybe it's better for you and BG

But it's not better for me.

I don't want you to say no

But if that's your answer, then go."


"You suck at convincing a woman to stay,

Brody said, "I'll teach you what to say.

You got to be all in, not half way."


Brody turned to Lou...


"I regret every day

I ever let you get away

You deserve to be cherished and loved

You deserve to be taken care of.

I'm sorry I let loyalty get in the way.

Of we could have been today."


Then Brody kissed Lou's lips

Buck had enough of this.

He pulled Brody back

And went on the attack


Hitting him in the face.

"You call that a punch,

Maggie McHaggis,

what a disgrace?"


"Men," exasperated.

Lou walked away

She'd seen AJ.

She wanted to see

if the Deputy was in

She needed to tell her somethin'"


Buck hit Brody again.

Brody had enough

And suckered him

And then...


"That's enough!"

Said Three 3Gun.

He broke up the fight

AJ took Brody in

and 3Gun, told Buck

to make it right.
