Ch.2
Bo and Luke drove off headed back to the farm. Bo was behind the wheel and Luke in the passenger seat, Luke had his mind on something else.
"What's on your mind, cuz" Bo said
"What" Luke said, snapping back to reality.
"You have been quiet all the way back to the farm, what's up" Bo said
"I was just thinking" Luke commented
"About Cassie" Bo said
Luke looked over at him, a look of how-did-you-know.
"Cuz, it is all over you face" Bo said
"oh" Luke said
"Mind letting me in" Bo said
"I was just thinking back to what happened" Luke said
"You meant the part were you broke her heart" Bo said
"Yeah" Luke said
"You had to do it, it was best" Bo said
"Yeah, but I just regret it, you think...oh nevermind" Luke said
Bo filled the blanks in, "If she
will tak you back" Bo said
"Yeah" Luke said
"Try, it won't hurt if you do" Bo said
"You really think so" Luke said
"It is worth a shot" Bo said
By that time they had pulled up at the farm, Bo and Luke slid out, as Uncle Jesse walked towards them,
"Uncle Jesse" Bo said
"Yes" Uncle Jesse replied
"Someone will be joining us for supper" Bo said
"Oh, who" Uncle Jesse said
"Cassandra Andrews" Bo said, smiling
"Actually it is Scarlet Andrews, Cassandra is her middle name" Luke said
"mmmm" Bo said
That night Cassie showed up at the dukes farm. She wore a pair of jeans with a tank top and a button up shirt over it. Her blonde hair hung down, Bo was the first to step out at the sound of a car. Uncle Jesse, Daisy, and Luke followed him. Cassie stepped out and just in time as Daisy pulled her into a hug.
"Boy it is great to see you around these parts again" Daisy said
"Thanks Daisy, alot has changed" Cassie said, "Mr. Duke"
"It is Uncle Jesse and it is great to see you" Uncle Jesse said
"Same here" Cassie replied
"Well, enough of this let's eat before the food gets cold" Uncle Jesse said
At the table Luke and Cassie sat beside each other, Bo across from Cassie and Daisy beside him, Uncle Jesse at the head of the table. Daisy had made her southern special, mashed potatoes, green beans, and roast beef, and then for dessert a southern Apple pie.
"It looks really good Daisy" Cassie commented
"I was just thinking the same
thing" Bo spoke up, smiling towards Cassie.
All Cassie could
do was smile back.
"So what have you been doing lately" Uncle Jesse said
"I'm a producer over in Tennessee" Cassie replied
"So you work with some of the top names in music" Luke had spoken up
"Something like that" Cassie said
"Cool" Bo grinned
When supper was over, Bo, Uncle Jesse, and Daisy were cleaning dishes, Luke offered for him and Cassie to go for a walk, Cassie agreed.
As they walked along under the moon and stars Cassie couldn't help but wonder, what if everything changed, and we never met or we stayed together, what if I decided never to come back even after I heard about my mother's death. Cassie let out a sigh as her mind went around in circles. It was so hard not to wonder about everything getting thrown at you. Luke had heard the sigh and stopped,
"Something wrong" Luke asked, looking into Cassie's eyes, Boy had she changed, she looks alot prettier and her eyes are still that spitefire green, and her blonde hair had gotten lighter.
"Earth to Luke" Cassie said
"Uhhhh...sorry"
"You seem like you have something on your mind too"
"So I'm not the only one"
"No your not" Cassie giving him her trademark smile. He couldn't help but laugh at the way she cocked her head and looked up at him with a smile/smirk on her face.
"Luke, Cassie" Bo had come running up, shattering the feeling in the air.
"Yeah" Luke said
"How about you two come in" Bo said
Bo, Luke and Cassie headed for the porch. Cassie's mind was in another direction,
I'm falling again for him, after what had happened, I'm doing again. I'm falling all back over again for him, but does he feel the same. Cassie thought to herself, Luke had noticed her watching him, he looked at her and she turned her head away, She is so pretty, the way the moon bounces off her blonde hair or the way she smiles and a gleam comes to her eye. The way she knows me and knows everything about what I'm going to do or what I'm thinking. I like...no I love her. They walked up the steps and into the house. Bo in the lead, followed by Luke and Cassie.
