Bluebonnet Days

Twisted

“Sam, it was my dad! It took some investigating, but it was him. Therefore I did not come home until Christmas that year and only because my mom begged me too. I hate that she was stuck in the middle of this. I also was hoping you would be home, but I heard you mom flew out to Scotland to see you for the holidays. I did not think it was the time to call my dad out, so I endured the week and headed back to Yale before the New Year. I sent you a text, but you never replied. Though I didn’t expect you too. I stayed gone until the following summer with Jackson keeping me updated on where you were. I had one more year left to graduate and was set to take the Bar exam that upcoming April. So I was working on a plan to find you, no matter where you would be. At this point, I still have not told dad that I know and he is acting like a proud father should be of his son. And now that I am about to graduate it was time to start looking for a woman in my life to start that will help build our side of the family for generations. Decided to play by his game and would bring random girls home, the girls that were full of themselves, gold diggers, city girls. Acted like I was serious about some of them, just to get a reaction. By the time I took the Bar and graduated in May, I heard you were in Paris. I came home for a Graduation party with all the family and friends. I see you mom sharing some albums of her adventures with you over the couple of years with some family friends. So I walk over and she happily lets me look at them. You are breathtaking, Sam. It seemed over time you had gained some weight back and your body had filled out beautifully.

“I am still hating you right now, so don’t make me blush!” as I try to look away.

“Your mom let me know you were spending the summer in France and had been in Paris for the past month, getting ready to head to Toulouse mid June. I figured this was my chance. I asked her all the details of where you were staying because I wanted to visit you, but not to say anything to you as I wanted it to be a surprise so I can beg for your Mercy without you having the chance to dodge me. Now I did what dad requested of me, I had my freedom back and stated I wanted to take the summer off, since I am a year ahead of the plan anyways. So he let me. I took the red-eye out the following night to Paris. Once I arrived, I went out on the street of your apartment, I thought I should walk around and get myself together. After some time, I stopped in a cafe to get a coffee. When I turned around, I thought it was fate, there you were. I step out and about to call your name, but then I saw a man come up behind you and wrap his arms around you and kiss you. You were smiling and looked so happy. I felt that you had moved on. I stayed in Paris for 24 hours, following you just to see what this was with him. You seemed genuinely happy, so after a while I decided I did not want to cause you anymore pain and flew back home. I let you mom know what happened and she stated he was probably some guy you had met there and would be nothing serious. Just to give you time until you come home. I was heartbroken when I got home, so I let dad have it. He did not even deny it. Said he did it for my own good and to look where I was now. Graduated as a lawyer, top of his class at Yale a year early. Mom was shocked, all she could do was cry and pray for all of us. I needed time away, so I got a job with Jacob's dad in Austin, so moved up there and did that for the year, before being summoned home that my help was needed running the ranch business and becoming Vice President of Lans Enterprises. All during this time, I swore once you came home, I would do everything to have you back in my arms and not let you go again. So now another year later, here we are. I love you Sam! I always have and always will. Those other girls were nothing, other than feeling a void. Please forgive me and let's start our future together?

Weston has now put his hands on my face and leans in to kiss me. I try to dodge as my emotions are everywhere. But his lips meet mine and the passion I can feel coming from him. He is biting and sucking on my bottom lip feverishly and starts to move to kissing my neck and his hands are gripping my waist tighter pulling me into him and I am getting weaker in his arms as my body heats up. My heart is now racing and I cannot think straight. O, please get it together, Sam! I move my hands up to his chest and try to push him off, saying

“Weston!” He pulls back and looks at me. HIs eyes are sparkling with desire and love. But I can tell he only sees the pain still in my eyes.

“Weston, I appreciate you telling me everything and I hate that it has taken this long for us to get here. But I need time. You shattered me just disappearing like that, and no one, not even your mom or Jackson could give any explanation. And I am so disappointed in your dad. Did he really think I would keep you from fulfilling your duties or is it that I am not good enough for his son? We all come from humble backgrounds with our grandparents. And I get your dad has other businesses from the ranch to better secure your family. Hell, I think y'all might be the one of, if not the richest family in this state currently with Lans enterprises owning everything. But what does that give him the right to judge me? What was that s**t at dinner about me leaving? Is he trying to see if I will leave again, so he can find someone more suitable for you?”

“I just don’t know Sam, I really don't, but I also do not care what he thinks. You are it for me, the only one I want to be with. If you need time, I will give it to you. But just don't push me away anymore or leave again” With that he embraces me and I decide to put my arms around him as well. This feels good, it feels right, but I feel my heart aching about the past and what the future might hold.

It is late, so he walks me to my back door and kisses me on the cheek and tells me good night. I say good night and head to my room. I fall asleep dreaming about him, about us, it is perfect.
