Chapter 23 ~ Levi

Walking with Jess and Roy, they headed back towards the farmhouse. While Roy walked up the hill back to the house, Jess and Levi went down to the creek.

Watching her grandpa go back up the hill, Jess turned to Levi with a smile. “He’s a pretty good guy. I think I was wrong about him.”

“Yeah, he’s an inspiration. And that love he had and still has for Lucille… It’s like the kind of love you hope for in life.” Levi went up to the edge, where the grass dropped off and the creek began.

“I used to play in this creek all the time with my cousins.”

“Oh yeah? I’m sure it was a blast. It’s shallow enough to not be dangerous.” Levi kicked his boots off and removed his socks and shirt. As he sat at the edge of the water, rolling up his jean pant legs, he noticed Jess’s eyes as she kept stealing glances of him. “Haha… You like what you see?”

“I don’t hate it,” Jess smiled.

“Come get in with me,” Levi said, stepping into the creek. “Oh wow! So cold!” he said, short of breath as he went deeper into the creek.

Jess stood at the bank and shook her head. “You see I’m in a nice white dress, right?”

“It’s dirty… you were feeding a calf in it. Just hop in!”

“No way,” Jess replied.

Suddenly Levi dropped under the water and began struggling underneath. Grabbing onto a root under the water, near the bank, he held himself down and kicked up above the surface.

He could hear Jess scream from the bank, but the words were unrecognizable. Then suddenly she jumped into the water and pulled on him. Releasing the branch he came up to the surface.

“Are you okay?” Jess asked, inspecting his face only a few inches away. She was soaking wet, and her makeup was running down her face.

Levi smiled. “It’s only waist deep… I was holding myself down.”

Jess smacked him and started back for the bank, but Levi pulled her back into the water and spun her around. “You’re a jerk!” she shouted, but smiled.

Levi grabbed the back of her head and pulled her in close. Pushing the wet hair back from her eyes, he kissed her.

She pulled away quickly from his kiss and slapped him, before making the decision to kiss him again. Levi picked her up and carried her to the bank as they continued to kiss.
