Chapter Six
Sam and Jake made it to the Buick right as Gram got there. "Jake would you like to stay for lunch", Gram asked. "Sure mam, if you don't mind". "Well I wouldn't have asked if I minded", Gram said chuckling. "Besides you'll be family in the future, well at least I hope you will", Gram said. Jake and Sam both turned to look at each other and blushed. I want nothing more to be married to you in the future Jake thought, whoa since when did I feel like that. "Do you really want to?" Sam asked reading it in his eyes. "Yes", Jake whispered blushing.
"What was that dear?" Gram asked. "Oh nothing Jake", replied with a red face. "Gram... can I go to a Halloween party with Jake?" Sam asked timidly. " Of course, are you'll going as a couple?" "Yes, if it's ok with you", Jake said. "Yes, of course you'll can go", Gram answered. "They make such a cute couple", Gram mumbled to herself. Sam and Jake blushed.
"What are you going to be for Halloween?" Gram asked about five minutes later. "I'm going to be a princess and Jake is going to be my handsome cowboy", Sam replied slyly looking at Jake. His dark face began to blush. "Will yall need a ride to the party?, Gram asked. "No, that's ok we can ride with my brothers", Jake replied. (Jake is almost 16 and doesn't have his license) "Ok, but if you need a ride don't hesitate to ask".
After a few minutes they saw Riverbend up ahead and they were soon pulling into the driveway. They all walked in and while Gram busied herself with making lunch Sam and Jake went outside to sit on the porch. Pepper , one of the ranch hands, watched them talking, awww... young love how cute he thought. After eating lunch Sam and Jake walked out to go see Ace. "I've got to go now, mom is probably wondering what happened to me", Jake said. "Ok", Sam sighed. He opened his arms and gave her a hug which surprised her since he wasn't a hugger. Then he really surprised her by giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Wha-, oh bye Jake", Sam whispered as Jake galloped out of the ranch yard. By the time all the dust from Witch's hooves settled back on the hard red desert ground, Sam couldn't even see Jake anymore. :Yes", Sam shouted pumping her fist in the air and then started dancing around the ranch yard. "Someone looks happy", Pepper remarked. Sam stopped so suddenly she fell on the seat of her jeans, she turned and saw Pepper grinning at her from the bunkhouse porch. "Yah, I am because my dream came true", Sam replied getting up from the ground. Then she continued dancing around the yard while Pepper just shook his head and mumbled something about love making young folks do some weird things. Which cracked Sam up since Pepper was pretty young still, he was only about three years older than her.
