Justin tapped his leg, waiting on the porch for his driver to show up. Saturday morning was the day Justin met for menâs fellowship with his brieder, Sammy, and some of the other guys in the two neighboring communities. Although he was looking forward to it, he was nervous.
Today, heâd divulge his plans to marry Lucy. The news was certain to be met with hesitancy and possibly discouragement from some, but heâd already mentally prepared himself. Having Sammy on his side was a great comfort.
Last time heâd spoken with Lucyâs father, heâd said the leaders would stop by Justinâs home tonight. Which meant heâd probably receive a reprimand and be assigned a wedding date. To say he was anxious would be an understatement.
After spending the last few days and a night with Lucy, he was ready to begin the rest of his life with her.
Theyâd shared so many things; their favorite colorsâthey both shared a love of green; their favorite foodsâhis was barbequed ribs and hers was spaghetti; their favorite animalsâhe liked horses and she liked squirrels. Squirrels! Of all things. He hadnât told her that he used to hunt them with his brieder.
They both enjoyed all kinds of games, and the two of them assembled a puzzle the day sheâd spent all night at his place. They discussed favorite Bible verses and songsâjust about anything they could think of. He truly felt they had formed a solid friendship, if not more.
And their first kiss? Ach, their first kiss had been amazing. He could recall it vividly.
Lucy had been in his kitchen, rustling up ingredients to prepare supper for the two of them, when heâd walked in with a wrapped box.
âWhat is that?â Lucyâs smile couldâve hung the moon.
Heâd shrugged. âA little something I picked up for you. Open it.â He urged.
She pulled the ribbon off, then tore the wrapping paper, her smile not leaving her face. When she opened the box and pulled out the gift, she giggled at the âKiss the cookâ message on the apron heâd chosen. It had been absolutely perfect.
âShould I help you put it on?â He offered.
She nodded.
He took his time tying the strings behind her neck and around her waist, lingering on purpose. Then he stepped back. âThere you go.â
âI love it.â
âMe too.â
She stared at him, fighting a smile. âWell?â
He took a step closer. âWell, what?â he murmured, leaning close to her ear. He loved teasing her.
Instead of waiting for him, sheâd hooked her fingers around one of his suspenders, wrapped her other hand around his neck, and brought his lips down on hers. From there, he took over and pulled her into his arms. His mouth blissfully moved over hers, then momentarily left to explore her delicate jawline and neck. His hands ached to explore as well, but he forbade them to do so. His lips returned to hers and he deepened the kiss. Her heart beating against his chest sparked a desire that coursed through his entire being. When he could hardly stand it, he forced himself back.
