The next morning Mary woke up and stretched on the bed. She could feel the coolness of the sheets where she had not been laying. She tiredly sat up and looked around. She noticed she was in the master bedroom again. Looking at the bed she noticed she was the only one in it. "Awe how sweet of him. He gave me his bed to sleep in." she stated and then got up. Stretching again she looked at the curtains and opened them. She saw the dew on the window and smiled as she looked out. The back yard was moist with the morning dew as well and shined. Turning back around she smirked. "He wasn't lying when he said the sunrise was beautiful." With that said she headed out the room and down the stairs. Looking she saw him sleeping on the couch with Max on top of him. She covered her mouth to keep from laughing and walked down. Both the boys heard her and looked at her as she came into the living room. They moved away from Jason and over to her. "Good morning guys." She whispered to them and petted both. They licked her hand and wagged their tails. Max then walked over to the back door and she let them out. They took off to the barns and she smirked. "They sure do start their jobs early" she stated and went into the kitchen. Go to the fridge she took some beacon and eggs out. Then grabbed a pan and started to cook a breakfast for the both of them. She looked in the cupboard and found a juicer. Taking it out she smiled and then went back to the fridge and cut three oranges and made some fresh orange juice. Once that was done she cleaned the juicer up and then went back to the beacon and eggs. She took two plates down and placed the beacon and eggs on each one. After that she placed four pieces of bread into the toaster and then on the plates. Setting them on the table she smiled and walked over to the couch where he was sleeping. Leaning over her placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth and then whispered. "Wake up sleepy head." With that said he moved around and then stretched as he opened his eyes. "MM what time is it?" he asked and she smiled. "Its three in the afternoon." She stated and he jumped up "What!?" Placing her hands on his shoulders she laughed, "Calm down I just said that to get you up." He looked at her and sighed. "God I was about to have a heart attack." He stated and she looked at him lost. "Why?" she asked and he looked at her. "Cause the cattle go out to the field at ten." He stated and she nodded. "Oh ok. Well I made breakfast and some fresh orange juice." She stated and he looked at her with a smile on his face. "Well that was sweet of you but, you didn't have too." He stated and she smiled. "Well its just like my way of saying thank you for letting me stay the night here." She added and he nodded. He got up and stretched as she smiled then she remembered something. "Oh and I saw the beautiful morning that you were talking about." She added and he looked at her confused. "Ha sugar you haven't seen anything yet. That little view from the window is nothing." He stated and she was lost. He looked at his watch and then smiled. "Come here." He said and she walked with him to the front porch. She looked out and around then back at him. "What?" she asked and he pointed to the far off mountain ridge. "Just watch that peak right over there and you will see what I mean." He whispered and stood behind her as the sun rose above the peak. As it did the light shined off the dew that was in the fields and the fogs starting to rise. There wind started to blow just so gently as the tree tops danced in the wind. Mary watched and her eyes were glues on the scene unfolding in front of her. The morning glories that were on the porch started to open and she was met with the beautiful blues, purples and pinks that shined with a bright yellow center in them. She had to admit the view that she thought was beautiful was nothing compared to the scene she had just saw. Looking back at Jason she smiled. "You were right. This is a lot better. No wonder you don't ever want to leave it. It's so nice and relax full here." She stated and he nodded. "Mhm that's the whole reason why. I mean why leave for fame and money when I have this to wake up to every morning?" he asked and she nodded in agreement.
After they headed into the house and then sat down to breakfast. As they were eating a knock came on the door and Jason went over to the front door. As he opened it he soon regretted that move. "Oh god no." He state and went to shut the door but was met with a foot in the way and then in stepped a girl. "What's wrong sugar don't want me coming to visit?" she asked and Jason growled. "No I want you to leave and get the fuck off my property." He stated and the girl looked at him like he had lost his mind. "Awe but boo. You know you love to see me." She said and walked up to him he frowned and moved away from her. Mary heard the noise and went to see what was going on. Unfortunately for her this girl saw her. "Who the fuck is that?!" she asked and Jason sighed. "Lulu this is Mary. Mary Lulu, who happens to be leaving." He stated and grabbed her arm. Lulu yanked out of his grip and marched over to Mary. "Who is she? Hmm your new bed warmer?" she asked and he growled. "Shut it lulu and get the fuck out of my house and the hell off my property!" He stated and she looked at him hurt. "But boo?" she asked and grabbed her arm "No I told you the day you walked out on me to get your shit and never come back here. You apparently thought I was playing but, guess what lulu. I aint and I don't want to see you here or in my life ever again." He shouted and dragged her to the front porch and then out to the front yard. He let her go and whistled for the dogs. They came running and he pushed her out of the way. She went to go at him but both the dogs jumped in front of him and growled. Their teeth showing and fur standing on edge. They were ready to attack as soon as he said to. Lulu however was not that stupid and backed away. "Read my lips Boo. I will be back and these mutts won't be there to save you." She stated and he laughed as she stated to walk off. He reached for the pistol he had in the back of his pants and then shouted. "Hey lulu one thing about me you forget. I don't need my dogs." He then fired a shot down near her feet and she screamed and shouted. "DAMN YOU JASON!" She took off and he laughed as he turned to go back in the house. Mary was standing there lost and he looked up at her. "Oh don't worry about Mrs. Bitchy. She is just mad cause after what she did to me I refuse to take the whore back." He stated and she looked at him shocked. "What the hell did she do anyways?" she asked and he looked at her. "She stole a family prized possession for a bag of heroin. It was the belt buckle that my great grandfather had in the war. It was marked where he was shot with a shot gun but the buckle stopped the bullets and he lived. After that his name was shot gun." He told her and she nodded. "Wow nice nickname after surviving that." She stated and he laughed. "Yeah he was a good guy according to those who met him. I never did." He added and she smiled. "Well what a nice way to start the day." She stated and he cracked up laughing.
It was around three in the afternoon By the time that Jason stopped working to take a lunch break. Mary was standing there with a glass of tea for him and a sandwich. Looking at her he laughed. "Keep this up and I wont want that car of yours to be fixed." He stated and she smiled. "Well you do get me for a week. So enjoy it." She stated and he smirked as she turned and went into the house. "Oh trust me I am." He stated as he watched her leave. Rodger came up to him and laid down at his feet. "Tired boy?" he asked and Rodger just sighed. "ha how about we wait until ten to put the cattle up for the night. For now let go take a break in the house where its cooler." He stated and opened the door for both Rodger and Max. Walking in he saw Mary cleaning the dished and putting them away. A smile came to his face at how at home she seemed. "Hey you do know we need to at least get you some clean clothes to wear instead of those things everyday." He stated and she looked at the clothes she had on then back at him. "Well my clothes are still in my car but they need to be washed." She stated and he smiled. "Then let's go get those clothes." He stated and they hopped into his truck and took off to her car. "Well I must say you sure in hell have good taste in cars. How did you get this?" he asked as he was looking at a 1969 ford mustang gt. Mary smiled and then walked over to the trunk of the car. She got her clothes out and headed back to his truck. "It was my grandfathers and I was the only one who wanted it. Then again when I got it, it was a fixer upper. No one thought it would look this good." She stated and he laughed. "You work on it yourself or did you have help?" he asked as he looked under the hood. She walked back over to him and nodded. "I worked on her all by myself." She stated and he smiled. "You did a fine job that's for sure. How did you learn so much about cars?" he asked and she smiled. "Dad used to work on the car lot my grandfather owned. So he made sure to teach me a few things. That way if need be I knew how to take care of them myself." She stated and he nodded. "Well smart dad. Always good to make sure their daughters know a few things about cars." He stated and she smiled at him. "Well doesn't mean that a girl don't want a handyman fixing on it for her." She stated and winked at him. He smirked and shut the hood of the car. "A handy man just might stop and help the lady out." He answered back and she laughed. They loaded into the truck and took off back to the house.
Once home she took the clothes and loaded them into the washer. She looked back and Jason was on the couch watching tv. "So what are you watching she asked." He sighed and flicked through the channels. "Nothing at the moment looking for something good to watch." He stated and she nodded. Looking at him she slid her hands down to his shoulders and started to give him a shoulder massage. He moaned and leaned down in the couch and relaxed a bit more at her working the knots. She would dig her thumb in certain spots and it would send a shiver down his spine. Seeing him relax more she went around the couch and smiled. "Lay on your stomach." She stated and he did as she said. She sat on his upper legs and ran her hands down his back then back up. He was in heaven at how great it felt. Apparently he had needed this but, didn't know it. She massaged her thumbs down his spine and back up to his neck. He had his eyes closed as she ran her hands along his sides and lower back. He didn't know how she learned this but it sure was making him fall more and more into a deep sleep. Cause he was more able to relax after her rubbing the knots out more.
