Date
A few days after Luke returned home Bo walked up to Kathy Sue's door.
As he was about to knock the door swung open.
"Well if it isn't Bo Duke, I thought you'd forgotten where I lived"
Kathy Sue greeted him sarcastically, her brown eyes flashing.
"I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to stay gone so long. I just haven't seen Luke in four years and we had a lot of catching up to do."
"Well maybe you should just go out with Luke tonight, obviously you prefer him to me."
"Please Kathy Sue don't be like that, I love you."
"You sure have a funny way of showing it Bo Duke, the way you've ignored me these last few days."
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again, I promise, please give me another chance."
Kathy Sue looked at Bo considering his words. "I suppose I'll forgive you this time honey, but don't let it happen again. So where are you taking me tonight?"
Grateful to be given antother chance Bo suggested they go see a movie and have dinner at the Tastee Freeze. Later at the Tastee Freeze they were joined by several of their friends.
"Say Bo I heard your cousin Luke's back from the Marines. How's he doing?" L.B. Davenport asked.
"Yeah he is. He's fine L.B. thanks for asking. Speaking of cousins do you know if Cooter's got that part in we ordered?"
"Hey that's right I almost forgot, Cooter said y'all is building an engine. How's it coming?"
"Pretty good, course once we get it built we'll have to find a car to put it in. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff Luke's coming up with, he's a real good mechanic. Maybe as good as Cooter." Bo grinned mischievously.
"I don't think so Duke, yer cousin ain't seen the day he'll be a better mechanic than Cooter. Take it back Bo." L.B. said as he grabbed Bo in a headlock and gave him a noogie.
"Okay, okay I give. Cooter's the best mechanic in Hazzard." Bo choked out through his laughter.
Letting Bo up L.B. began to dance around the room in victory, laughing and whooping. Shortly after this Bo and Kathy Sue said good night and headed out to Hazzard pond for a little time alone.
Parking the truck, he reached over for Kathy Sue only to have her jump out of the truck and stalk off. Running after her it didn't take long for Bo to catch up with her.
"Kathy Sue what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Kathy Sue screamed at him. "You've got a lot of nerve asking me that after the way you embarassed me. I can't believe the way you acted with L.B. Davenport. I thought you were more mature than that. I thought I was dating a man not a little boy. I'm thinking maybe I should reconsider this relationship."
Bo swallowed hard, afraid he would lose her, he couldn't lose her.
"Please Kathy Sue I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarass you. I just get around the guys and I get carried away. Please don't break up with me, I promise I'll do better."
Enjoying the way she could make Bo beg for her forgiveness. Kathy Sue remained silent for several minutes.
"Please babe say you'll forgive me, I didn't mean to make you mad.
I love you more than anything Kathy Sue, I can't live without you."
Finally relenting Kathy Sue let him off the hook.
"Alright Bo I'll forgive you, just don't make me regret it. Now suppose you show me just how sorry you are and how much you love me."
Relieved to be given another chance Bo wasted no time in proving
his love for Kathy Sue. Later after taking Kathy Sue home, Bo slowly
drove back home. Glad to see no lights on in the house, he quietly
made his way to his bedroom. Lying in bed Bo found it hard to fall
asleep, he couldn't stop thinking about what had happened earlier. How
could he be so stupid, he couldn't believe he'd almost blown it. He
sure was lucky that Kathy Sue was so forgiving, he knew he didn't
deserve someone as wonderful as Kathy Sue Shelton. He had no idea why
she'd want to be with someone as stupid and worthless as him, but he
sure was grateful. He was determined that she wouldn't regret being
with him, he'd never forget how lucky he was that she was with him.
After several hours of tossing and turning Bo finally fell into a fitful
sleep.
