Chapter Seven

The sun was beating down; it was so hot Shane had to estimate that the temperature had to be at least in the one hundreds. Sweat poured down the back of his neck, wetting his white t-shirt and collecting on his forehead. Lifting his shirt up, he used it to wipe the sweat that formed on his forehead before it could get into his eyes.

“This is not like you, working on the ranch.”

Shane grunted and lifted another bale of hay and heaved it into the truck bed. He turned to see his cousin standing there with a smirk on his face. “Why you say that, cousin?”

“Well, Hank called you the Casanova and pretty boy.” Austin bit back a laugh when Shane glared over at him. “I’m not the one who said you were afraid to get your hands dirty.”

“I have too much shit on my mind to care what Hank or anyone else says,” he mumbled.

Austin took a seat on a bale of hay. “Let me guess, you still sour about yesterday’s events.”

Shane curse as yesterday flashed before his eyes. “Fuck!” he yelled over and over again.

“What did Jasmine have to say?”

“Not now, Austin,” he growled, working on the ranch helped get his mind off work and family related issues. “You know what Jazzy had to say? She had the audacity to ask me if I was racist.”

“Well, her brother did announce in front of a room full of guests that you wouldn’t marry her because the color her skin,” Austin whistled. “Cousin, I didn’t know you were that selective.”

“Jazzy won’t let me live this down and now you.” Shane ran his fingers through his hair. “I’m going to tell you what I told Jasmine, I don’t care if she was white, yellow or pink it wouldn’t change my feelings for her.”

“Feelings?” Austin looked surprised to hear that admission from his cousin. “Well damn! It’s about time I thought it was true what my mama used to say about you….She’d be like ‘Austin, Shane ain’t got the good sense God gave a goose.’”

“Austin,” Shane warned, this wasn’t the time nor place to hear his cousin’s endless teasing.

“What?” Austin held his hands up in surrender. “I’m just trying to help. Right now you appear like you are one fry short of a Happy Meal.”

“What am I’m supposed to say!” Shane hollered. “My partner feels like I betrayed him and Jazzy is madder than a wet hen.”

Austin scratched his head and looked at Shane weird. “Were we at the same baby shower or shall I say at the surprise ‘Here is my baby,’ shindig?” He chortled when Shane looked at him with a scowled the laughter stop. “Sorry man…I’m just saying.”

Sighing, he took a seat next to Austin on the bale. “Question.”

“Shoot.”

Shane took a deep breath and exhaled, “Is Farrah the first African American woman you dated?”

“Well, I’ll be damn you scared to say black.” Taking off his cowboy hat, he flipped it in his hands a few times before putting it back on his head.
