This is shorter ;] Haha. Sorry. But I still hope you enjoy! I find it rather amusing myself... *heart*

The next morning Luke woke with a smile on his face. He didn't rush as he dressed and called for car, ordering room service and enjoying a quick breakfast before heading down to the lobby. He decided to wait outside for the car, enjoying the morning air. It was already warm and the breeze reminded him of the night before, walking the streets of Dallas with Reid. He clinged to the memories, recounting some of their conversation but mostly remembering the way Reid's mouth would turn from a scowl to a pleasant smile instantly, or the way his eyes would light up when he laughed. Luke was smiling like a fool when the car pulled up. He collected his thoughts and gripped his briefcase before climbing into the back.

The twenty minute drive out of town was spent daydreaming. As the tall buildings shrank into houses and the crowded neighborhoods faded into open fields, Luke found himself looking forward to five o'clock and praying he had the courage to make the call. He only snapped out of it as the car turned onto a gravel road. He sat up and looked out the window to realize they were at the camp. There were horses in the field and a few workers were carrying buckets of water and food to the fences. Luke smiled to himself, his contentment over thinking of Reid mixing with his joy over the horses.

He was greeted by the owner of the camp, a man named Mark Henricks, who had a kind smile and a firm handshake. He was dressed in jeans, a flannel shirt, and cowboy boots. Luke felt very overdressed in his khakis, button up collared shirt and dress shoes. He was just glad he had opted to leave the tie and jacket at home. They first went into the old house that was used as the main building for this particular location. Luke sat down his things before going on a quick tour of the camp with Mark, who shined with enthusiasm. They were later met by some of the board members who ran the entire program, enjoying a casual meeting while they talked numbers and went over their yearly finances with Luke. Later in the morning Luke got to meet some of the children and their parents and watch first hand as they enjoyed riding. It was a wonderful experience that Luke knew he would never forget. They figured out a few things and Luke laid out the initial investment the foundation could supply before they agreed to meet again in a few weeks. As he was driven back to the city, Luke knew that this organization was perfect for his foundation and couldn't wait to start the rest of the paperwork.

They stopped for lunch just outside of town before continuing into the heart of the city. Once he arrived back at the hotel, just around 3pm, Luke called the main offices back in Oakdale and had some of the paperwork drawn up. Conferencing for about an hour with board members, financial advisors, and attorneys for the foundation, Luke had the final drafts for the initial documentation drawn up and faxed to him. It wasn't hard to get everything completed as a lot of the work had already been done before Luke came down. All they really had to do was finalize some of the decisions and put it in writing. Luke would meet in town with Mark and the board members Sunday morning to sign and notarize the papers, making his commitment to the camps official.

Laying down on his bed with a endless smile and complete satisfaction, Luke glanced over to see that it was going on 5:30. He was suddenly reminded of Reid and smiled even brighter. He pulled out his phone and scrolled down his phone book to Reid's number, hesitating as he deliberated on what to say. Ten minutes later, and after a bit of pacing, Luke sat down on the edge of the bed and finally pressed 'call'.

It rang twice before going to voicemail. While the sound of Reid's voice made Luke smile instantly, the smile didn't linger for long as he hung up before leaving a message. He wondered if Reid had ignored his call, or perhaps he was busy. Multiple possibilities ran through his head before Luke laughed at himself and tried to shake it off. This was silly and he knew it. He waited a few minutes and tried again.

As before he got Reid's voicemail. He couldn't help but grin as he listened to the doctor's simple and formal message. The automated voice came on and gave the same instructions; leave a message after the tone. Luke decided to listen.

"Um, hey, Reid. This is Luke… Luke Snyder, from the bar last night. It's about 5:45. If you want to, give me a call back. My number is 309-242-5659. See you."

Luke hung up and stared at the phone, realizing that he was sweating a bit. He frowned and sat the phone down. He took off his watch, kicked off his shoes, and hastily undressed and turned on the shower, glancing at his phone every few seconds just in case there was a call. He sat the phone on the bathroom counter while he showered, listening careful for a ring that never came.

He had just about given up as 6:30 rolled around and there was still no call. Luke had changed into some lounge clothes by now and was watching some show on the Food Network. Suddenly the phone rang, though not his cell phone. Luke jumped and it took him a moment to realize this fact, frowning at the hotel phone next to the bed. He sighed as he climbed over the bed, picking up the receiver and bringing it to his ear unhappily.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Yes, Mr. Snyder?" came an unimportant voice.

"Yes," replied Luke.

"You have a visitor down in the main lobby," the voice said simply. Luke sat up straight, thinking to himself, "No, it can't be…"

"Oh, um, did they give you a name?" Luke asked.

"One moment, sir," the man on the other end said. Luke could hear the sound of the man's hand covering the receiver. "He says his name is Reid Oliver and he insists that you come down here quickly," the man said nervously. Luke grinned. He had no doubt now that it was definitely Reid standing in front of the poor desk man. Luke already knew Reid to be one of those people who could make a complete stranger that uneasy. He also had a feeling that the desk man had chosen different words in order to make Reid's request sound more polite.

"Thank you. Tell him I'll be right down," said Luke happily.

"Yes, sir," said the man, and Luke hung up.

He raced around the room, pulling on his jeans and a clean baseball jersey styled t-shirt. He grabbed his red, hoodless jacket from the back of the chair and pulled it on quickly before stuffing his wallet and cell phone into his back pockets. Before bolting out the door he managed to calm down long enough to run into the restroom, brushing his teeth and straightening his hair. As he went to leave he was laughing at himself, trying to remember the last time he'd felt so silly over a guy. The answer? He couldn't remember.

Luke rushed to the elevator, calling for a couple that was already inside to hold the closing door for him. He stuck his arm in just in time and managed to slide in. The elevator stopped twice to pick people up, much to Luke's distress. Finally the elevator let out another annoyingly shrill beep to announce that they were stopping, this time on the main floor.

Exiting the elevator and hastily looking around the other people in the lobby, Luke spied Reid sitting in a chair across from the main desk playing on his phone. Luke took a few much needed deep breaths, not wanting to look too eager as he slowly walked up to the doctor, attempting to appear casual.

"You know, calling me back would have worked just fine," he smiled. Reid looked up.

"Yeah, well, that's kind of difficult when you're phone decides that it, too, no longer likes you," Reid said with clear annoyance in his voice, pocketing the device into his jacket pocket. Luke noticed immediately that Reid was wearing regular street clothes. He was in dark straight leg jeans that Luke couldn't deny looked fantastic on him. He had on a semi casual button up shirt and a brown leather jacket overtop. Luke was pretty sure he'd also shaved.

"You could have called the hotel, they would have put you through to my room," Luke offered. Reid stared at him dumbfounded.

"I took the time to actually come over here and call you down, and you're complaining?" he asked, not bothering to hide how stupid he thought Luke to be at that moment.

Luke laughed, scratching the back of his neck and trying not to blush. "Sorry. Just didn't peg you to go out of your way for some guy you just met," he explained.

"What can I say, I'm intrigued. That, and you're obviously loaded, so I figured you'd at least buy me dinner to pay me back." Reid quickly flashed what Luke assumed was a smile, but it was gone so quickly that he couldn't really tell. He grinned and nodded, trying not to show how nervous he really was.

"I think I can do that," he replied.

"Good. Because I already made reservations."
