IT'S ALWAYS BEEN YOU

Chapter 7

Lou unlocked the door to the room and entered. The first thing she noticed was the steaming bubble bath, she almost turned to go thinking she had the wrong room when the dress laying on the bed and the flowers on the night stand caught her eye. She gasped as she approached the bed and noticed a note under the flower vase.

Lou felt tears spring to her eyes as she picked up the dress. It was so beautiful, emerald green, my favorite color, how'd he know that she wondered. She noticed the accessories, the delicate choker, the earrings, gloves, boots, the chemise. She was overwhelmed with emotions. "What have I done in my lifetime to deserve him", she wondered out loud. After letting the surprise sink in she began to get out of her riding clothes and slipped slowly into the hot bath. She noticed a bar of rosewood soap sitting on the table next to the tub. Yes Kid, she thought, tonight is gonna be special - more special than you can imagine. Lou knew this was right, she knew they were made for each other. As she soaked she let her thoughts wander to thoughts that used to embarrass her - now she looked forward to actually experiencing some of what she'd only imagined. Yes Kid it's only right that you are my first, probably my first and only, she sighed with hope.

Kid finished tending the horses and headed to his room to clean up. He would loved to have seen her reaction to the surprise, well he'd just have to imagine. All of the sudden he was hit with a fear, one he hadn't thought about. What if she thinks I've interfered to much, what if she thinks I'm pushing her to do more than she's ready for - God I hope she doesn't think that's my intention.
