Chapter Eight

Buck

I watched Hanna and Rebecca drive away and a loneliness flowed into me, surprising me. God, it hadn’t been but a minute and I was already missing her. This was ridiculous.

Staring up at the stars, I cursed myself for being an idiot. The girl was so far out of bounds it was frightening. She had an air of innocence that just pulled at me. And then, to show up at the party looking like that. Jeans that highlighted every curve to perfection. A top that showed a hint of cleavage and a face kissed by an angel.

But there was so much more to her. Depth, understanding. A sweetness that was honest, not a fake façade. She cared about things. Important things like the planet. Other people. Animals.

There was even more though. A vitality. An open energy that saw the world as it should be seen. Not idealistically but as it really was. Yet, she was the type of person who also saw the good things in the world. Not only saw them. But appreciated them.

No. Rebecca was different on so many levels.

A picture of her hips in those jeans jumped into my mind and I sighed heavily. Those were the type of hips that could get a guy in trouble very easily. I couldn’t have stopped myself from falling for her if I tried. And I wasn’t idiot enough to stop myself.

Smiling to myself, I turned to start walking home. The party was still going strong. But it held no interest for me. Not with Rebecca no longer there. Taking a deep breath of the cool night air, I turned up the collar of my jacket and shoved my hands into the pockets of my jeans. Wow, this was different. A girl had me in knots and I didn’t have any idea what I was getting myself into.

To top it off. If her dad ever found out, he and her brothers would track me down. And it would be just my luck that he had a dozen shotguns.

But, deep inside, I knew that wouldn’t stop me. It wasn’t smart. And I’d probably screw it all up. But I knew that nothing was going to stop me from pursuing Miss Rebecca Montgomery. The girl meant too much.

When I stepped into the house, Mom looked up from her book, then frowned as she glanced down at her watch.

“This is a surprise. You home before curfew. I don’t think that’s happened since you were fourteen.”

I smiled and shrugged. “Jake and Parker aren’t here to be a bad influence.”

She laughed, “You never needed their help. You are perfectly capable of making me worry all by yourself.”

I laughed and started for my room in the back then stopped and turned back. “Mom,” I asked. “How do you know you’re in love?”

She coughed and tried to get her breath.

I could only wait as she tried to get her composure back. She frowned as she looked at me. “You’re serious?”

I nodded. I hadn’t expected to have this conversation tonight.
