Chapter 13

It was late afternoon by the time Mackenna awoke, sated from sex and sleep. Jobe allowed her the privacy of a shower, knowing that if he saw her naked again they would move straight to shower sex.

Running his hand through his hair, he could feel the pounding fear of the loss of control. That’s what love is—giving control to someone else knowing that with love comes a helpless feeling. A few deep breaths later, he looked up as she emerged from the bedroom, wet hair hanging down her back, fresh face and all smiles.

He stood, nervously waiting to see what she would do. He did not have to wait long. As soon as her gaze hit his, she strolled right over…straight into his arms. Wrapping her once again in his embrace, he kissed the top of her head.

“Baby doll?” She gazed expectantly, as he continued, “I thought you’d like to go over to my parents and you can see your mom.”

If he thought the smile she graced him with earlier was incredible, it was nothing compared to the blinding smile that she now bestowed on him.

“Thank you,” she effused, jumping up to kiss his cheek.

He turned his head and captured her lips with his in a deft maneuver. When the kiss reluctantly ended, she saw his smirk.

“You’re good at that,” she accused. “And you’d better not say that practice made perfect.”

“Only with you, doll. Only with you,” he assured.

An hour later, they arrived at his parents’ house. She glanced nervously over at him. “Do you think they’ll know?”

He lifted his eyebrow waiting for her to explain.

“You know,” she said in exasperation. “That we were…um…just had sex.” This last statement came out in a whisper.

“Babe, they don’t have a listening device in my truck so I don’t think you need to whisper.”

“You know what I mean,” she said, giving him a playful slap on the arm.

He saw her nervousness, and his heart melted again. “Mackenna,” he said, gaining her attention. “We can tell them as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.”

Smiling her appreciation, she nodded. “I think I’d like to talk to my mom first before we make a big deal about anything.”

He sobered, realizing that her mom must surely harbor resentment towards him, although she did not show it the other day. But she’d have to. I mean, I broke her daughter’s heart just when her husband was dying of cancer and then wasn’t around when she had her stroke. If she doesn’t hate me, she must be a saint!

Now nervous himself, he alighted from the truck and walked around to assist Mackenna out. Letting his hand span around her waist, he leaned down to give her a quick kiss.

A scream erupted from the front porch as Rachel turned and called for Penny. “Hurry, they’re here. And praise God, they’re kissing. Our prayers have been answered Joseph—our Jobe has returned to us with Mackenna. Penny, Penny come on,” she continued to scream as she ran down the front steps toward the couple.
