dark haired doll face!
He went for a swim after the call,
feeling somewhat more relaxed. Yet, more upset than he cared to admit that she
has not bothered to phone him.
Rosa called him thirty minutes later
for dinner and he got out of the pool. They had dinner on the porch next to
the pool. He did not talk much and even Rosa gave up trying to keep a one
sided discussion on the go.
“Are ya goin’ bar hoppin’ with Noah
again tonight?”
“No … it has been a lon’ week. I am
goin’ to bed early. We have to start breedin’ those mares tomorrow and I might
have to go into Houston later in the day.”
“Ya can’t be bustin’ nuts between the
ranch and Houston every day. It’s not good for you. You’ve been firin’ on all
cylinders for weeks now.”
He rubbed his hand over his eyes. It
was not work that was getting to him. It was his absent doll face!
“How’s the old man doin’? Have you
seen him this week?”
“Yes, they’ve been here every day, but
missed you every time. Maybe we should invite them to grub up with us
tomorrow.”
“That is a good idea. Let me help you
with the dishes quickly, then I want to go to bed.”
An hour later he sank down on his bed,
fresh from the shower. He pulled his laptop closer to read his emails before
he went to bed.
There was a mail from Harold
confirming that the offers have been made and accepted. As soon as all the
contracts were signed, they would be on their way to Houston.
He frowned when he read the next
mail. He definitely did not need such complications in his life. Not now. He
had no enemies that he knew off. Threats to his personal email, posed serious
concern. His address was not made public and only certain people had access to
it.
He forwarded the mail to Reed at the
FBI and asked him to look into it.
His phone rang and he answered it
absentmindedly. There was silence on the other end and he frowned, waiting.
“Hi Jay.”
His heart stopped beating and he had
to swallow a few times before he could get a word out. He was aware that his
voice sounded deep and raspy.
“Doll face, this is the best surprise
I’ve had this whole year. What took you so lon’ to phone?”
“I was busy.”
“Really? A phone call that takes a
few minutes?”
“I could say the same thing.”
“Yeah, but then I am a modern man. I
wanted to know if you needed to talk to me too.”
“That is why you stopped calling?”
“What did you think, doll face?”
“Well … Noah told me you are quite the
ladies’ man. I assumed you have been … playing the field as he called it. You
never denied indulging in other activities the night you went drinking with
Noah.”
I am goin’ to strangle Noah … slowly!
“Doll face … you could hardly walk for
a few days. I promise you I did not fare much better. I most definitely did
not have the energy or the desire to indulge.”
“Only … then?”
He smiled, his heart beating a mile a
minute.
“Well … at the moment I have a lot of build-up
energy … serious energy for that matter. You’re headin’ this way by chance,
honey?”
Shannon shimmered with anger. He was
not admitting anything, but he sure as the devil did not deny it either. Damn
you Cowboy!
“Now why would I be doing that, Muscle
Man? There is nothing for me in Brady. I am a city slicker. Small towns and
I … we don’t get on well. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. Sleep tight,
Cowboy.”
Before he could utter another word,
she ended the call.
Hmm, interestin’. My doll face did
not like the possibility that I might have indulged with another woman!
