Appaloosa, a short love story by Sky Taylor - Page 7

She had already entered the jeep and was preparing to drive away when he yelled at her in the near distance, holding up a hand and hoping that she could see him.

She did - just barely.

Something wasn't right, she decided as she saw Jordan.  Something had happened.  At least he appeared to be unharmed.

Quickly, she got out of the jeep, Jordan arriving and standing a bit breathless in front of her.  

He leaned over to collect his breath, as she asked, "Is everything okay, Jordan?  Has-has something happened?"

He straightened and while he still had the nerve he blurted out, "Kayla, this man you're in love with.  It wouldn't happen to be me per chance?"

Jerking her head away so that he couldn't see the tears that threatened, she managed, "Of course it's you - it has always been you.  But I see that it-"

Jordan cut her off, drawing her to him as he graced her lips with a passionate kiss, both of them anchored in the stream of sheer bliss while a voice sounding much like Rowdy's tossed out in the distance, "Damn!"
