True Love
(Book 2) – Chapter 60

-I have fun in my own way.

-And what is that way? he asked, staring her in the face.

Her heart skipped a beat when Jack’s penetrating gaze landed on her, all her nerve endings were starting to collapse. Why did she feel this way every time he was near her, she didn’t know what to say, why did she feel this way every time he was near her? Suddenly she noticed that he was bowing his head, he was going to k**s her and she was going to let him.

-Here they are! They were interrupted by Rodrigo and Melisa approaching. Megan snapped out of her trance and prayed that her flushed cheeks would go unnoticed.

-Have you been sitting here all afternoon? Her friend asked Megan, she was too nervous to answer, she felt the warmth of Jack’s body and there was a kind of tension in the air between them.

-Yes, partly.

-We’ve been looking all over for them, separately of course! Rodrigo laughed, leaning back against the porch railing of the house.

Jack got up from the couch and sat down in front of Megan on the porch wall, she could feel his penetrating gaze. Would he feel the same way she did? They were about to k**s until they were interrupted.

-I just got here and ran into Megan.

-Of course! She looked at both of them.

Melisa sat down where Jack was sitting with Megan, who was looking at her with a suppressed smile.

-Since the four of us are together, I wanted to ask you if you want to join us tonight at a party that will take place at Fat Tony’s bar, I’ve invited Melisa and it would be nice if both of you could join us.

-Come on Megan, come with us. Her friend begged her.

-I don’t know, I’m not in the mood.

-You’ll have fun. Rodrigo assured her. She could only feel Jack’s eyes on her.

-Yes Meg, let’s go.

-Besides, Jack will come with us too, won’t you, boss?

Well, he didn’t expect to go to that party, but if Megan was going, he would definitely attend. That gathering would be infested with single men looking to pick up a woman and Megan would be an easy target and he wasn’t about to accept that.

-Maybe!

-Megan, you can’t say no, besides you need to distract yourself. Her friend told her.

Of course she needed it, but away from Jack she was starting to lose her sanity around him.

-It’s okay, just for a little while.

-Great then let’s go upstairs and see what we can get to wear. See you guys later. Taking her by the hand he pulled her to the front door.

-Are you trying to set me up with Jack?

-No need, it’s been a while since Rodrigo and I noticed that they were about to k**s, you don’t fool me, you like that cowboy.

-Of course I don’t.

-Yeah, whatever! We better replace something to wear.

-I don’t think it’s necessary to wear something so fancy, you heard it’s a bar.

-Don’t think I’m going on my first date with Rodrigo in jeans. You packed some nice cool dresses for the night, I think they’ll be perfect for us.

-It’s fine, whatever you want.

-You just relax!

Her friend searched the wardrobe where Megan’s clothes had been unpacked and exclaimed with great enthusiasm.

-These two are perfect! I think I’ll wear the green one and you should wear the red one, it’s so cute.

-Yes it is cute, yes I will wear it tonight. I don’t want to wear it to look nice on Jeck, but on its own, he likes to dress well.

-Very well we will envy him in that ber.

-We shouldn’t, le women of this zone could take it mel don’t you think?

-Megen, please don’t show yourself. -Trenquile, since when did you become so bored!

Another time, that brawler, he’s really become an eburride. That third day, they had a little earlier so that the women could have more time to get back on their feet. He was happy that they wanted to have fun and told them that he would not stay awake to wait for them.

Jeck was sitting in his room finishing dressing, it was silly to get dressed but he didn’t know why he had to do it in the end. He remembered clearly when he was sitting with Megen on the porch of the sofa, if they had not been interrupted he would have kissed Megen again, but contrary to the previous times, he would have kissed him back. But why? He thought that he would not support him with his doubts, he finished dressing and left the reception, surely Rodrigo would have been waiting for everyone.

-I’m not telling lies. He shrugged his shoulders.

-Forget it! Just let it go if you want, I like Melise and I don’t want her to think I’m like that.

-You like me like all the girls you’ve been with.

When his friend was about to answer they heard noises in the schools and they stood up, put on their respective hats waiting to meet the females. When they arrived Jeck was perplexed, Megen was incredibly beautiful, she was wearing a red dress that seemed to be exclusively designed for her, her hair was loose and curly, she was wearing her neturel and she seemed to look much more delicate than she really was. Jeck thought he was going to have a lot of trouble with his wife if she left him alone.

As soon as the emigrants finished their shower, the schoolgirls closed in on the men who were waiting for them with their mouths open, and Megen found it amusing to see Jeck’s expression of surprise at seeing him dressed like that. That means he liked her as Melise had said, if that’s the way it was, what was she going to weigh then? Because she’s not indifferent to the fact that she’s on the verge of kissing him. I don’t know what I would say to him when I finished kissing him and I had him face to face.

-Let’s get ready guys, I’m sorry to wait for him but you know how women are. At the end, his boss finally came to him and broke the ice.

-Don’t worry, with the way they got mad, they’re sorry. Rodrigo said to him.

-Thank you. They said embes emiges.

Jeck was still in the cell, Megen thought he wouldn’t tell him a fight and that they were in cahoots. But he had not expected that he would take him by the heather and close to him and say to him very carefully.

-These two are perfect! I think I’ll use the green one and you should use the red one, it’s very nice.

-Yes it’s nice, yes I’ll wear it tonight. Of course she wasn’t doing it to look pretty for Jack, she was doing it for herself, she liked to dress well.

-We’ll be the envy of that bar.

-We shouldn’t, the women in this area might take it badly, don’t you think?

-Megan please, don’t be a spoilsport. Quiet, since when did you become so boring!

There was that word again, she really had become a bore. That evening they ate dinner a little earlier so that the girls could have more time to get ready. Grandma was glad they were going out to have fun and had warned them that she wouldn’t stay up to wait for them.

Jack was sitting in his room finishing dressing, it was silly to dress up so much but he didn’t know why he had finally done it. He remembered clearly when he was sitting with Megan on the porch of the sofa, if they hadn’t been interrupted he would have kissed Megan again, but unlike the previous times this afternoon she would have responded to that k**s. But why? She thought she couldn’t stand him with her doubts, she finished dressing and left the room, surely Rodrigo would already be downstairs waiting for everyone.

-They are taking too long! Rodrigo exclaimed impatiently.

-That’s the way women are, you should know that, you’re a real Don Juan.

-Take that Don Juan stuff away from me, Melisa is going to end up believing it.

-I’m not telling lies. He shrugged his shoulders.

-Forget it! I like Melisa and I don’t want her to think I’m like that.

-You like her like everyone you’ve ever dated.

When his friend was about to answer he heard noises on the stairs and they both stood up, they put on their respective hats waiting to meet the women. When they came downstairs Jack was perplexed, Megan looked incredibly beautiful, she was wearing a red dress that seemed to be designed exclusively for her, her hair was loose and curly, her make-up was almost natural and made her look much more delicate than she already was. Jack thought he was going to have a lot of trouble in the bar with this woman if he left her alone.

When the friends finished walking down the stairs they approached the men who were waiting for them with their mouths open, Megan thought it was funny, seeing Jack’s surprised expression when he saw her dressed like that. That meant that he liked her as Melisa had told him, if that was the case, what was going to happen now? Because she wasn’t so indifferent to him either, since they were about to k**s in the afternoon. She didn’t know what she would say to him when she finished coming down the stairs and they were facing each other.

-We’re ready guys, sorry for the wait but you know how we women are. In the end her friend saved her and was the one who broke the ice.

-Don’t worry, as pretty as you got, you’re excused. Rodrigo told her.

-Thank you. Said both friends.

Jack was still quiet, Megan thought he wouldn’t say a word to her since they were in each other’s company. But she hadn’t expected him to take her arm and pull her close to him and say very close.

-You’re beautiful,” he said, “I might be in a lot of trouble at that party. He had never paid her a compliment like that before, and it had made her instantly nervous.

-Thank you very much, and I doubt you’ll have any trouble with us.

-I mean only you, I’ll have a lot of trouble with you.

-I don’t see why, I won’t spend the night dancing with half the party.

-That’s good, because I wasn’t going to let you do it!

She looked at him with wide eyes, and what was the reason for these outbursts of possession?

-Well, lovebirds, enough whispering, and let’s get going!

They arrived at a well-lit bar with the name “Bailamos” (We dance), each letter was made up of bright red and green neon lights. The façade was not a sleazy bar, it was very conservative and very well kept, there were lots of cars and motorbikes parked. It was a big party, people were coming in and out, some to stand outside and have a cigarette or just to get some air. Jack parked his SUV in a special spot reserved for his car, he was a very frequent customer in that bar.

The couples got out and immediately Melisa and Rodrigo held hands, while Jack offered her his arm and she had no choice but to accept it. At the door were two very muscular guards dressed as cowboys, when they approached them they held out their hands to the boys and let them pass.

-I see you frequent this bar a lot. Megan said in his ear as the music was too loud.

-It’s the closest one, San Antonio is a bit far to go back too late at night.

Maybe he frequented it a lot because of the waitresses, Melisa had told him that the men on the ranch went out a lot with the waitresses in the bars, Jack couldn’t be the exception. A dark-haired, good-looking waitress approached them, greeted them and pointed to an empty table, then asked them what they were going to order to drink, but the woman kept smiling at Jack. Megan experienced a wave of jealousy from that waitress, it was clear that Jack had had something with that woman and that made her upset.

-What are you girls drinking? Jack asked them.

-The same as you. Melisa answered, swaying to the rhythm of the country music that was playing at that moment.

-Dayana, bring us four beers please.

-Right away, Jack.

Yes, he had definitely had a thing for this woman, because he was on familiar familiar familiar terms with her. He didn’t think the idea of attending that party right now was the best of ideas.

-Let’s dance, Mel. Rodrigo took his partner to the centre of the dance floor where several couples were dancing to the music. Megan had never danced to country music before but it looked like fun.

-Do you want to dance? Jack asked her.

-Hmm… Maybe later, I don’t really know how to dance to that kind of music.

-I’ll teach you! His voice sounded so erotic in her ear, she was getting excited like a teenager.

The drinks arrived, Jack paid for them, and the waitress left immediately for another table. Whatever they had, it seemed to be over long ago.
