Chapter Seven: Another Side to Lily

Jesse visited nearly Lily every day, usually in the morning when she was doing her chores, before the saloon opened. On Tuesdays, which was the slowest day at the saloon, Jesse would take her out to supper. He felt like a new man. Lily brought bursts of fun into the monotony of his daily life. Life would never be dull or lonely again as long as she was in it.

He realized after not too long of courting her that there was more than one side to his girl, and he loved each new personality trait she revealed to him. One side of her was very mischievous and a great lover of practical jokes. She seemed as surprised about this aspect of her personality as he was. Never before had she blossomed into her true self, since never before had someone accepted her as Jesse did.

On one of his morning visits, he walked to the barn as usual. He knew she would either be in the barn tending to the horses, in the chicken coop gathering eggs, or around the hog pen feeding the pigs.

“Lily, you in here?” he called at the entrance of the barn.

Her faint voice answered him. “Yes, I’m over by the ladder.”

Jesse ambled to where the ladder leaned against the loft of the barn. He didn’t see her there, so he thought she might have moved farther back. He should have known something was amiss by then, but she always managed to catch him by surprise. On that day, Lily was hidden in the loft above him holding an armful of hay. When he walked past the ladder, she dropped it on him. She squealed with delighted laughter as the heap landed squarely over his head and shoulders. He came to a dead stop. Slowly, he brushed the hay off the sleeves of his starched white shirt. He said nothing as he removed his hat and slapped it against his knee to shake off the hay and dust from it.

She was still giggling when he glared up at her and said, “You’re getting spanked for that one.”

She stopped laughing and her eyes rounded. “But it was only a joke.”

“Mm hmm. A naughty joke, by a naughty little girl who needs her bottom smacked. Get down here.”

“No! I won’t come down unless you promise not to spank me.”

“You will get down here, and you’ll be right quick about it. You have five seconds. One…”

She huffed. “What happens if you count all the way to five?”

Jesse didn’t really know, but he managed to sound ominous in his threat. “You’d best avoid finding out, little miss. Two…”

Lily scrambled to the ladder. Jesse held it steady while she climbed down. When he could reach her, he wrapped an arm around her waist and plucked her off the step. He easily carried her squirming little body against his and strode to a bench, where he sat and toppled her over his lap.

“I thought you liked my jokes!” she protested as he tossed up her skirts.
