RHETT

Leaving Tessa after she agreed to give me a chance was physically challenging and I don’t just mean because of my painful hard-on from our make-out session by the pool. I want her always by my side, especially in bed, but I know I have to take things slow with her. Feeling her reaction toward my kiss lets me know that our physical relationship is going to be off the charts, but I want it to be on her terms, when she’s ready. I’m more than happy to let her navigate that aspect of our relationship because she’s worth waiting for.

I asked her to lunch on Sunday since I had an inkling she wouldn’t want a late night because of work on Monday, but to my surprise, she said she had to go work at the bar, saying someone called in sick so they needed her to fill in. Jealousy raced through me at the thought of other men getting to see her and for a second, I almost drove down to Austin just to sit at the bar and be with her while she worked. But I knew that wouldn’t be a good idea, especially since I’m already treading on turbulent waters with her agreeing to give me a chance. So I kept myself busy by preparing for the Belton rodeo, working out and taking a nap. By the time I woke up, she was already off work so we talked during her car ride home.

Today’s a new day and I’m not going to go another day without seeing her, so I decide to surprise her by driving to see her at the rodeo. Ryan, thinking my idea was genius, asks me to drop him off at Adeline’s car dealership. We stop to pick up more flowers for our women and make our way to Bear Creek. The dealership is not far from the rodeo, so I arrive within five minutes after dropping Ryan off. I’m excited to see how my lass reacts to my surprise visit, especially since I heard the disappointment in her voice when we hung up last night for her to get some sleep.

I walk around the rodeo first, admiring the state-of-the-art facility and how much money is spent on the upkeep. I make my way to the back of the arena and follow the signs to the office. I open the glass door and see an older looking gentleman talking with the receptionist. He’s going over some paperwork with her, his voice deep and firm. He looks up when I walk in, his eyes sizing me up and down before plastering a smile on his face.

“Good morning, can I help you?” he asks and there’s something vaguely familiar about him, which is odd to me since I’ve never been to Bear Creek before.

“Good morning, I’m here to see Tessa Mandel.” I nod in acknowledgement to both of them. He looks at the bouquet of flowers, a sarcastic smirk playing on his lips and tells the receptionist to go get Tessa.
