Chapter Ten
I sighed as I sunk down into the cool grass beside my chicken coop. Life was good, Trent and I had been married for a week now and we were more in love than ever. I watched as the clouds passed lazily and I grinned to myself. I heard the soft footsteps approach and I look up and saw Trent. He was wearing a pair of slacks, a button down under a vest, and a pair of loafers. His usually perfect hair was disheveled and sexy. He sat down beside me and pulled his knees up to his chest.
I scooted closer to him and he sighed happily, "I love you." he said and I grinned.
"I could listen to you say that forever. I love you too, Trent." I said and he leaned down to kiss me on the nose lovingly.
"I could listen to you say a lot of things." he joked and I lightly smacked him on the arm.
"Your a pervert, Trent." I said jokingly as well then thought of something, "You know, you never demonstrated your awesome massage abilities Doctor." I said and he grinned evilly at me.
"Would you like me to demonstrate?" he asked and I shot him a sly smile.
"You have to catch me first." I challenged and I shot up and started running before he could even blink.
"You're on!" I heard him exclaim behind me and I couldn't stop laughing.

I waved good-bye to Trent as he left the next morning and I got straight to work. I fed my cows and chickens quickly and then I started on my home. I dusted like I had never dusted before, and I swept out every crevasse. I wanted my home to be spotless for tonight. It was Trent's birthday and I planned a romantic dinner for two. I know it was kinda sad sounding, but it was all I could think up on a short basis. I wipe my hands on my overalls and run to the end to ask a favor of Ruby.
I open the door and find her behind the counter, "Hello, Claire. How is married life?" she asked and I grinned.
"Excellent! I have a favor to ask though." I told her and she motioned for me to sit down in front of her.
"What can I do for you?" she asked and I hesitated only briefly.
"You know how bad I am at cooking, and tonight is Trent's birthday. Can you cook up something delicious for tonight? I'll pay you for it!" I pleaded and she shook her head at me.
"You don't have to pay me for it. I would be honored to help you out. How about you go over to the bar and ask Muffy for a bottle of red wine, it's on me." she said while handing me money.
Tears welled up in my eyes and I hugged her, "Thank you so much for this!" I exclaimed and she shooed me with her hands.
"Your welcome. Now, I'd hurry before Muffy runs off to torture some poor boy. Griffen doesn't sell bottles of wine." she said and I ran over to the bar.
Muffy greeted me, "Claire! Hello! What brings you here?" she exclaimed happily while pulling me into a hug.
I coughed after she released me, "I need to buy a bottle of red wine. Tonight is Trent's birthday." I exclaimed and a devilish light entered her green eyes, "You want to have some fun with the doctor tonight. Here ya go. It's on the house." she said, handing the bottle over the counter to me.
I was about to protest when she interrupted me, "Take it. If I can't have some loving, someone's gotta have it." she explained while pushing me out the door.
I laughed and trotted happily back home to finish setting things up. I set the table with my finest china and set out two wine glasses and the bottle of wine beside them. I filled a vase with yellow moon drop flowers and set that between the two plates. Satisfied with how the dinner table looked, I took a quick shower. I bathed quickly and slid into my new strapless black dress. I curled my hair and it fell in gracefully against my back. I did my make up and I was sliding into my black high heels when there was a knock at the door.
I answered it and Rock was standing there, his mouth agape, "Can I help you?" I asked and he snapped out of his trance.
"Mom had me bring this over. Damn, Trent is one lucky man." he said as he handed me the platter of food and walked away.
I laughed at the flirtatious boy and went inside to set the platter of food on the table. Ten minutes later, Trent arrived home and he stopped dead when he saw me.
"What's the occasion? You look beautiful." he complimented as he pulled me towards him.
"Happy birthday, Trent." I told him while kissing him softly.
His response wasn't as soft, "Thank you. You did all of this for my birthday?" he asked, desire and love in his gaze as he looked around at my handiwork.
I nodded and he kissed me again, "I love you. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm damn glad I did." he said and I laughed softly.
"I love you too. Trent. Now, let's eat!" I exclaim as I drag Trent towards the table. We didn't even make it.
