Knock! Knock!

Woof!

“Shhh, Rose, I’ve got it.”

Taking a deep breath, Apple started for the door. Just before taking the knob in her hand, she glanced down at what she wore. “I should’ve bought something new. I look like one of those Hostess pink snowballs.” Her dress was A-line with a fitted lace bodice and a full filmy skirt. The same pink as her nails. Distraught, she flung open the door and exclaimed, “I should change, shouldn’t I?”

Benjen stood there, a bouquet of red roses in his hand, with his mouth agape and his eyes wide. “Don’t you dare change a thing. You’re so beautiful. I can’t believe you’re mine.”

His beautiful words almost made Apple melt into a puddle of happiness at his feet. “I am?” The answer she needed shone in her eyes.

“You are.” He held the flowers out to her. “These are for you.”

She took them gently. “They’re gorgeous.”

“They don’t do you justice.” He followed her in as she put the flowers in water. “Do you want me to put Rose in her yard?”

“Yes, please.” She found a glass pitcher for the roses. After filling it with water, she arranged the flowers to her satisfaction. Listening for Benjen’s footsteps, she bent to inhale the magnificent scent. “I can’t believe he gave me these.”

“Why? You deserve all the beautiful flowers in the world.”

Apple gasped when he picked up her hair and kissed her on the smooth exposed skin of her shoulder. “You walk so quietly. I didn’t hear you come in.”

“Well, you know what they say about us Indians and our stealthy way of walking in our moccasins, creeping up on unsuspecting game.” He nuzzled her neck. “Toe to heel, measured steps.” Kiss. Kiss.

“You aren’t wearing moccasins.” She smelled her roses again.

“Very observant, McIntosh.”

Apple turned in his arms to find his lips for a quick kiss. “Good one. What’s next? Rome? Winesap? Jonathan?”

“Granny Smith, if you don’t hurry. I have some serious courting to do and you’re holding up progress.”

“I’m ready.” She laid her head on his chest. “We don’t even have to go anywhere if you don’t want…except bed.”

Benjen groaned. “Temptation thy name is Apple.”

Giggling, Apple ran her finger down the smooth line of his nose. “Yea, I know all about the Garden of Eden and original sin.”

“Oh, you do?” he asked as he pulled her to the door. “Come on, you can tell me all about it on our way to Austin. We have reservations at the best restaurant in town.”

With their laughter ringing out like two children at play, they ran hand in hand to the truck he’d driven. “This isn’t your regular pickup,” she observed as he led her to the driver’s side.

“Right. This is Sam’s.” He opened the door and lifted her up to sit her inside. “If you notice, there are bench seats. You can sit beside me instead of all the way on the other side of the cab.”

“Oh, good idea.” She scooted over to the middle of the seat, while he climbed in next to her.
