Part 7
"Hey dad." Nick said as he found him in the barn. " It sure is good to see
you son. Your momma says you are here to clear your head, think some stuff
over." " Yeah, just a few cobwebs to clear away. I'm sure she told you what
was up." Nick asked him. "Sure did. You love her or is it just lust? " "It
is definitely love. I see her and I go weak in the knees. When I am with
her I can't keep my eyes off her. I can actually picture having children
with her and growing old and gray with her. Sitting on the front porch
watching the grandchildren play in the yard. That doesn't sound like lust
to me does it?" " Not with the visions you are having. What are you going
to do now?" His dad asked without stopping what he was doing. " I think I
will talk to gramma. She seems to be wise in the matters of the heart." "
That sounds like a better idea then what I had." " Which was?" " I haven't
a clue." He chuckled. " Do you need any help before I go?" " No. You on the
other hand will need a horse. Your grandmother is in the far north pasture
playing with the calves. Why don't you take Jumper, she could use the
exercise. See you at lunch?'" " If something doesn't come up." Nick said as
his cell phone rang. " I thought I turned this of and left it at home.
Stokes." " Nick, it's Greg, sorry to call you but I thought you should know
something about Sara." " Is she okay? Is she hurt?" Nick panicked. " Whoa,
she's fine. You definitely have the love bug. I was just going to tell you
that you might want to cut your trip short and come home. You need to talk
to Sara before you plan on getting back. She might change her mind." Greg
said. " I just need to finish a few things here. I should be back by
Sunday. I need you to do some stuff for me at that end if you don't mind."
" Sure what do you need?" Nick told him of his plan and what he needed him
to do." Thanks Greg. You have no idea how much I appreciate it." " No
problem. You'll just owe me." Greg joked and then hung up. Nick finished
saddling up Jumper and headed for the North pasture. " I know your momma
taught you to always get off your horse when you are approaching a lady."
His grandmother told him without looking up. " That she did." " Get on down
here and give an old woman some love." " You are not old." Nick told her as
he hugged and kissed her. " So tell me the reason of your visit." Nick
spent the rest of the morning and part of the afternoon talking to her.
Telling her of his plan and that he loved her and he wanted to give her
something special. He knew that his grandmother had just the thing. They
watched the calves eat and sleep and do normal stuff. " Well now that you
have told me what your plans are I have things to do so you get on going."
Nick went over to where he tied up Jumper and headed towards the main
house. He had a lot of stuff on his end to take care of before he headed
home.
