A Cowboy In Love
Chapter 6

-Rodrigo will be fine, he can handle the situation. I will tell him to prepare a notice with your granddaughter's name so they can identify themselves.

-Hmm... What's the matter with you? You don't like my granddaughter's visit. You don't like her spending a few days here with us. I accuse him, looking him straight in the face.

-Of course not, your question is absurd! I have a lot of work to do, I'm leaving, I'll be back later.

-Fine, as you wish! And don't let Rodrigo run too much when he brings her back.

-Yes, okay. He said leaving the house, then Grisell watched through the window as Jack gave instructions to Rodrigo and then Rodrigo got into Jack's car and drove off down the dirt road that connected to the road to San Antonio.

At least his granddaughter wouldn't be waiting so long at the airport Rodrigo would arrive in plenty of time.

At the airport the girls' plane descended, as they went through the respective checks, then went in search of who was going to pick them up. Their grandmother had said they would send someone to pick them up, so they had no choice but to look around for a sign that someone was waiting for them.

-Look Megan, that man over there has your last name written on that sign. exclaimed her friend.

-It's true, we'll have to ask him, maybe it's someone else.

-Oh wow, you've already noticed he's a handsome cowboy! Apparently they're not ungainly at all. Her friend laughed.

-Melisa for God's sake! Megan laughed, repressing a smile. In spite of everything her friend was right, that cowboy was not bad at all, tall, dark, very muscular, his hair and eyes were not visible because of the hat but he had a firm chin. They walked up to the cowboy....

-Hello, is that sign for Megan Blake?

The man blinked for a moment as if he was amazed to see them.

-Yes, I'm waiting for Grisell's granddaughter.

-Oh how nice, I'm herself, how do you do? He held out his hand. - This is my friend Melisa.

She had to nudge her friend to make her react to that beautiful man.

-A pleasure, ladies. He touched the brim of his hat in greeting, smiling at them. Then I'll carry your luggage, just these two suitcases?

-Yes, only these two suitcases.

-Okay then, let's go, we are half an hour away from the ranch.

-Did you notice his accent? I love the way people talk here! She whispered to her friend.

-Behave yourself. That man's got you all wrapped up in knots.

-And who wouldn't be! She fanned herself with her hand as she watched him carry the two suitcases as if they were weightless.

-Oh, please, Mel!

-You don't see this kind of man in Atlanta Megan, or do you think I like to see the mailman or the milkman?

-No, but... Hey what's wrong with the milk delivery guy?

-Nothing, just that his wife and three kids don't make him attractive at all.

-Oh, I didn't know that! Repressing a smile.

-Well ladies, this is our car. Rodrigo announced to them, putting their suitcases in the back of the car.

-Are we going in this big car? exclaimed Melisa.

-Yes, the boss gave it to me so I could come and pick you up and make you comfortable.

-I understand, your boss is very considerate. Remind me to thank him, Melisa.

-Of course!

On the way to the ranch Rodrigo told them about the ranch and the acres it had, the cattle and the breeding of the best horses. Both women were fascinated by what was so new. -Rodrigo, do you think we can go horseback riding one of these days? Melisa asked.

-Of course, Miss. I can take care of that, if you don't have any problems. He said looking at her through the rearview mirror.

Megan immediately caught that battle of glances and understood that this Rodrigo liked Melisa and she was drooling over that muscular cowboy.

-You should know that we don't know how to ride. Megan said looking out the window at that wonderful landscape covered with grass and dirt as far as the eye could see, she was beginning to understand why her grandmother was still there. -That won't be a problem, we have the best and most docile horses. Teaching them to ride won't be a problem for me, and I doubt my boss will have a problem either.

-That's great. I can't wait to learn.

Said Melisa enjoying every minute of the ride.

-Then you will be our trainer Rodrigo, as long as it doesn't interfere with your work. We don't want to bother you and give you time problems.

-Relax lady, I'm the foreman, I usually have a lot of free time!

-Call me Megan please, and you can call her Melisa.

-Well if that's what you want then so be it!

She was sick of Miss this, Miss that. Why couldn't they just call her by her name like everyone else.

-If it's okay with us if you call us by our first names.

-Very well, I hope the boss doesn't object to that.

-Don't worry, there won't be any problems!

-Well, we're getting to the ranch, you'll see your grandmother soon.

-Thank God!

-The temperature here is a bit cruel, and it must be even more so for you who come from the city and your skin is more delicate than all of us who are used to the climate here. I recommend that you stay more indoors, it is much cooler. I understood that he wanted to advise them to be careful about the weather, but why did everyone insist on telling him what to do?

-Thank you for your concern Rodrigo, I assure you we will be fine.

-All right, we're here!

Jack was in the kitchen with Grisell drinking a lemonade when they heard the noise of their SUV. That meant that this Megan had already arrived, he got up from the table to accompany Grisell to the door, who was jumping with excitement. When they opened the door and he looked in the direction of the car, he froze, was that a joke? Rodrigo looked at him and just smiled and touched the brim of his hat. Grisell rushed out to meet the woman who was his granddaughter and who was really beautiful.

He could not believe it, she was not a child. She was a full grown woman as beautiful as a rose, short in stature, her skin was as white as snow and her hair was pulled back in a dreadful braid. She wore no jewelry or brand name clothing, she was simply dressed in jeans that if illegal would land her in jail, paired with a three-quarter pink plaid shirt and sneakers.

This woman was nothing like he expected, she would be in her mid-twenties. He watched as Grisell gave her a very affectionate hug, showering her with kisses, as did his granddaughter. It was very noticeable that both loved each other very much, and if Grisell wanted to leave with her he would not have the courage to stop her, but what was he doing standing there like an idiot, he looked at Rodrigo and he only looked at him and laughed at him, "idiot for sure he was making fun of him" surely because of what he had told him, to be careful because the visitor could be a snob.

He walked down the steps and approached the family gathering, he didn't feel guilty for thinking so, he had yet to deal with this woman it all depended on the deal.

-Welcome ladies. He looked at Rodrigo out of the corner of his eye and saw that he was repressing a smile, he would already give him a punishment for his mockery. -Oh Jack until you finally come over! Meet my granddaughter Megan and her friend Melisa.

Damn! What beautiful eyes that woman had, brown as pure honey.

-How do you do, Mr. Jack?

-Oh no, daughter! Just call him Jack. He's the owner of the ranch!

Megan's eyes widened like saucers, so wasn't the owner an older man? Then that had to be her son Jack Manson. She couldn't deny that the cowboys in that place were very handsome, because the owner was no slouch, he was dangerously sexy in fact his eyes left a lot to be said and those lips were made to be kissed for a lifetime.

He took off his hat, placed it on his chest and held out his hand to shake it, that hand was firm and felt rough, the hands of a man who worked hard every day. The sun had tanned his face giving him an air of masculinity that would make any woman lose her temper, she looked him up and down as he was extremely tall and muscular.
