I loved writing this chapter for some reason. It just put me in a good mood! Hope you like it as much as I did.


I stared at the big yard in front of me. I was sitting on the porch as James mowed his lawn. The sight of him riding a lawn mower was entertaining and highly attractive. His farm was gorgeous. Truly one of the most relaxing and beautiful places I have been.

"Katherine, you two are good for each other." I looked over to see his mom sitting on the chair next to mine. I smiled sweetly at her as she handed me some iced tea. "He looks at you the way his dad looked at me. I can see it in your eyes also. You remember that look your parents give each other."

"I have a hard time remembering. My mom died when I was young. I was raised in a house full of guys." She shook her head.

"I'm sorry, darling. Must have been hard being out numbered. It was only me and James for a long time." She looked over at her son lovingly. I hope one day I could have a child and be as proud as she is.

"It was always entertaining. I have no idea how my dad managed it. We were a hand full and always getting in trouble. I was lucky my oldest brother met a girl, Lita, and we instantly became close. She is like family. She is my older sister. I have been lucky in life." She nodded her hand in agreement. She had this sweetness and softness to her. I wondered how James came from such a wonderful woman.

"Damn it, dog! Move!" Both of us turned to see one of their dogs had decided to lay down right in the path of the lawn mower. James was shouting at the dog to move but the dog refused to. I looked over at his mother and she smirked at me. She gave two short whistles and the dog came running over to her and laid down at her feet. I let out a laugh as James rolled his eyes. "That dog always was your favorite child!"

"She behaves!" His mom retorted. I'm really liking his mom. "For years that boy has been talking about you. I'm glad you finally made your way here. It means a lot to me to see him so happy and to see that such a sweet girl is the cause of it. Sometimes I wondered about him and Harris." I almost choked on the iced tea.

"Thank you." Was all I could say through laughter. She laughed right along with me. "Most people assume I'm evil because of the way I dress. Black and neon colors. Sometimes colored streaks in my blonde hair."

"I like the way you dress. Besides, it's not so much how you dress but how you act. You have a big heart." I wasn't use to compliments like that. "He told me about your brother. I hope he gets better and can work with ya'll in TNA."

"I hope so too. It's been hard for Matt. He was always looking out for Jeff and me. I guess it caught to him and made him a little out of his mind. I worry a lot. I was about to join TNA when he was sent to the hospital for the first time. He was seeing things and it was just a mess." She took one look at me and spoke.

"Sweetie, don't you worry. While you are here I don't want you thinking about any of that. Such a beautiful girl shouldn't be crying." I let out a small laugh.

"That is the same thing your son said to me when he first saw me cry a long time ago." She laughed an addicting laugh.

"I'm glad I taught him well." She smiled at me. James walked up, done mowing the front yard. His mother handed him some iced tea and he took a seat next to me.

"What are you two talking about?" We both could tell he was nervous about us talking.

"I was telling her how glad I am to meet her and to know you aren't with Harris. I never liked him much." He glared at her. "And how you two are good together. You look at each other the way your dad and I use to look at each other." James got a peaceful smile and looked at the ground.

"You mean that?" He looked up at his mother. She simply nodded and walked away. "Come on, Goth Girl, I want to show you something." I gave him a questioning look but he just took my hand and led me around the house. We walked up to the barn and up the stairs to the hay. In a corner was a little room. "It use to be my fort. Where I went away after my dad died." We walked in. Inside of the little room was a blanket, pillow, some beer and skittles. I smiled. "We can forget the rest of the world exists and have some fun." He gave me that goofy smirk. I faced him with my own smirk.

"And what if I don't want to?" He pulled me closer to him.

"I got one thing to say." He kissed my lips. "Sorry 'bout yer damn luck!"
