A Cowboy In Love

Chapter 33



They spent the day remodeling Jack's room to Megan's liking. In the afternoon Rodrigo and Jack took the ladies to San Antonio to buy what they needed for the celebration, while they ran errands for the ranch. - 50 you want me to be your best man, after you punched me! he said, rubbing the place where Jack had punched him. ~ You know you deserved it, and I apologized to you. ~ Yeah, but that didn’t make up for the puncht ~ What the hell do you want? The two of them were having a few beers in a bar they frequented when they used to go int town. - I'd like you to sell me a piece of land, near the creek. - What do you want it for? ~ I want to build a small house, I don't want to be in the barracks anymore. ~ I've told you many times to move to the house. - I want privacy, Jack. - Hmm... I see. Is it because of Melissa? - Isn't the best man supposed to be the one who gives the wedding gifts? ~ Well, I already gave you a good gift, great advice. - All right, I'll sell you the land! - Well, how long will it take the girls? He had no idea what the girls would be buying, but they had been shopping for hours and he was getting impatient. Wha married man's life would be like when his wife was out shopping. - 1 don’t know! - Well, I don't think a wedding is that easy to organise, you really surprised me when you told me that Megan's baby is yours. - Imagine my surprise! - No one was imagining it, you're so stubborn, we all thought you'd stay single for the rest of your life. ~ I think we should go to that mall where we left them. He said to change the subject. ~ Hmm... Well you're the boss! Melissa and Megan were having some sandwiches in a nice café, surrounded by bags of shopping for both baby clothes a Megan herself, as she hadn't brought enough, as she didn't plan on staying, let alone getting married. - We bought a lot of things Megan, I think we went a bit overboard.For more free novels, visit FindNovel.net I don't think so, it will be very difficult to leave the ranch again when the baby is older. - Aren't you exhausted? ~ I'am, but it was worth it. These dry pastries are so good, I'm going to get some more. - Megan, you've eaten more than half a dozen! Hey, look, here come the boys. jack made her nervous, it didn't matter that they were about to get married, he upset her senses and made her blood bo ~ Finding them has been quite an odyssey, it didn't occur to me that they could be eating. Jack said looking at his fiancée - Megan was hungry, I'm sorry if it took us so long. ~ They bought the whole mall. - We needed a lot of things, plus I hadn't bought anything for the baby. The cot was taken to the ranch two hours ago. ~ You should have waited for me to pick one out. Jack complained to her, not very pleased with her decision. - Oh, I'm sorry! I thought you were too busy running errands at the ranch, I didn't think, well I'm sorry. - Don't worry, I'm sure it's a nice cot. He said in a gentle tone, he had felt he had made her feel bad with his claim. ~ Well its time to go. Rodrigo said, picking up some bags. ~ Yes, but first I'm going to order some more of these pastries and some chocolate almond desserts I saw. ~ I'l buy them for you. Jack said, hoping that would soften how rude he had been a moment ago. Megan was sorting the baby’s clothes into the new wardrobe she had ordered for him, while she watched Jack try to put t cot together. ~ This cot is pretty strange Megan. - But it was the nicest one there was. Can't you put it together? he said, suppressing a smile. - Of course I can put it together. What kind of question is that? - Well, you're telling me it's strange. - I'll put it together in a minute! And don’t laugh. ~ All right... I've bought a lot of clothes for the baby. - You've bought a lot of everything. ~ For a baby it's never too much, they wear a lot of things. ~ I think you women overdo it. - You must learn these things Jack. - 1 guess. I can’t concentrate on this, I need to relax. Come here, come here. - What are you gonna do? - I've been wanting to kiss you all day. - What's with all this mess? she said, straddling him. ~ All that can wait, making love to you can't! The day of the wedding came as fast as dawn, everything was ready for a small simple ceremony that was going to be hel at the ranch itself, Melisa, Rodrigo and Grisell had decorated the back of the house with wild flowers. Only a few guests h been invited, mostly Jack's neighbours and other ranch employees. The priest had driven from town to the house to start the celebration, and after some stress, Megan and Jack were official married. Everyone began to enjoy the party, many couples danced to Alan Jackson's tune while others chatted happily at the tables. Megan was happy for the wedding, but she knew that she had a lot of work to do in her marriage, as Jack had not marriec for love, but rather, he had done it for his baby. But she had faith that all that would change. The celebration had come tc an end, and everything had gone wonderfully, all the guests wished him happiness and left happy. jack felt a little overwhelmed by all the congratulations and hugs, he just wanted to go up to his room to be alone with hi wife, since he couldn't have a moment alone at the party, except when they both danced. In the last few weeks her belly had grown bigger, and very little lovemaking had taken place. Although the doctor had told him that there was no probes but he was afraid of hurting them both, since when he had her naked he lost total control. Once in his room he didn't ave asking. - Are you tired? - Yes a little, thank God I decided to wear slippers. - It was a good party! - Yes, very beautiful. - I'm glad, do you want to take a bath? - Is that an invitation? - Don't you think we've gone too far? He said very softly, so as not to hurt her. - The doctor said there's a problem. But if you don’t want to, it's okay. The disappointment was latent in his tone of voice ~ Megan, I want you. - But you don’t want to be with me now. - It's because of the baby! ~The baby is fine Jack, but forget it, I'll take that bath alone and go to bed. She locked herself in the bathroom repressing the urge to cry, she had just chosen the wedding night to start thinking about the baby, when the weeks before he wouldn't let her breathe. But she wouldn't cry about it, there would be other times. By the time she came out of the bathroom the room was alone, Megan thought he wouldn't sleep with her that nig their marriage wasn't off to a good start. Maybe Jack was overwhelmed by so many emotions together as it was all new to him, she didn’t want to think about it anymore and decided to go to bed and fell asleep immediately. J Gn =
