Chapter 8

Dinner was pretty funny to watch. Jake tried not to look at Sam and Sam tried to look at Jake. And the entire time DJ and I were giggling and now and then Jen would chime in. Funny stuff.

"So Brynna, I'm sending Ross into town tomorrow to pick up chicken feed and some other things. Could you spare Jake?" asked Wyatt.

"Um, how about I send one of the HARP girls? I am sure they would love to go."

I couldn't let DJ go with Ross, even if she was my sort of friend.

"I'll go if you want me too," I offered.

"Jake, do you think she could be able to miss some of the lesson tomorrow?" questioned Brynna.

He was debating. I looked at him with puppy dog eyes begging him to say yes. Besides he owed me.

He nodded, "Yeah, Misty has made great progress and Lea is doing well."

"Alright that settles it then. Lea will go to town with Ross tomorrow," said Wyatt.

I was literally bouncing off the walls on the inside. I would get to spend time with Ross tomorrow! Woohoo!

I mouthed "thank you" over the table to Jake. He gave a slight nod recognizing it.

Then dinner was over and it was time for Jake's big moment. But boy if he was nervous, he didn't show it.

We were outside when Jake said, "Hey Sam, can I talk to you in the barn for a second?"

"Sure be right there," she said.

DJ, Jen, and I were all squealing like little girls. We silently crept over to the edge of the door so we could look in.

Jake was rubbing the back of his neck and Sam was looking up at him.

"What is it Jake?" asked Sam.

"Uh Sam, I uh…"

"Come on Jake spit it out." But she looked at him kindly.

"Sam I really like you," he said in a half whisper.

Sam looked surprised and the truly happy.

"Oh Jake. I like you too," she said with a smile.

He looked relieved and then happy.

Then he took her by the hand and kissed her and I mean boy did he kiss her.

Jen let out an ear-splitting cowboy yell and we all starting cheering. We were dancing, but admittedly not very well. Then Jen started singing, "Sammy and Jakey sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S…"

Me and DJ yelled, "Jen!" then started cracking up laughing.

Sam and Jake came walking out of the barn hand-in-hand. They looked great together and genuinely happy.

"You guys planned this, didn't you?" Sam asked.

"Maybe," I said with a coy smile and a wink.

We ran over and gave Sam a huge hug.

"We will leave you two love birds alone. Goodnight," said Jen with a giggle. And we set off to the bunkhouse.
