to make so many memories with.”
Cassandra smiled and thought of Jessie. Would her life be with him? Living next to her childhood home would be perfect. They would all be together again. Christian and Tori could bring their children out west to enjoy the ranch life.
CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Jessie pulled on the rope that was tied around Ole Boss. “You stupid cow, why do you keep getting stuck in this same mud hole. When are you going to learn?” This was the third time this year she had wondered into the same mud hole. Now he would have to fence it so she would stay out of it. Just about to start saying a few choice words, he heard a female’s voice.
“Jessie, oh dear what are you doing?” Cassandra rode up on the sight to see Jessie slip and fall on his butt. She knew it wasn’t nice or lady like, but she couldn’t help from bursting out in laughter.
“Don’t just sit there laughing, get down here and help me pull her out.” Jessie yelled over his shoulder. “Ole Boss seems to think I enjoy pulling her out of the same mud hole.”
“And what do you suppose I am going to do?” Cassandra asked.
“You act like you have never had to help pull a cow out of the mud. Will you just help me pull her out, then you can go back to being a princess again.” Jessie hollered over his shoulder once again.
“I beg your pardon, Mr. Harper. I did not come over here to be insulted. I heard you hollering and just came to investigate what was going on.” Cassandra told him flatly.
“Fine, just come hold the rope and pull on it while I go behind and push on her”. Jessie handed her the rope and then walked back to his saddlebags and got a second pair of gloves for her.
“Pull harder Kenzie, pull, she is moving a little.” Jessie yelled to the front of the cow.
“Mr. Harper, please stop calling me Kenzie, my name is Cassandra. Why do you insist on calling me by my sister’s name?” Cassandra switched positions trying to get a better grip when Ole Boss turned her head as Cassandra was talking. “I have told you before that I am her………
Jessie looked up from behind the cow. There laid a form of a young lady covered in mud. “Oh dear.”
Cassandra scrambled to her knees, spitting and sputtering mud. “Oh, look what you have done, you brute.”
“Me, what did I do? I told you to keep the rope tight.” Jessie broke out into laugh. “Look Princess, we can get you cleaned up at the river when we get Ole Boss out of this mud pit.” Jessie reached a hand down to help her up. “It’s just a little mud.”
Cassandra let Jessie pull her up to a standing position. Then with all her strength, she jumped at him and knocked him down into the mud. Ole Boss let out a big loud “MOO”, she wanted out of the mud.
Jessie was now covered with as much mud as Cassandra, they both looked at each other and started laughing. Cassandra didn’t want to laugh. She wanted to be mad at him for the way she looked, but she was having fun. Cassandra picked up a handful of mud and threw it at Jessie.
The mud fight lasted for twenty minutes. Somehow in the mix of throwing mud and wrestling around. Cassandra and Jessie got Ole Boss out of the mud. Crawling up to the edge of the mud hole, laughing hysterically, they both fell back on the ground. Ole Boss took off running.
“Run you old cow, I am going to put a fence up around here, then you won’t get stuck anymore.” Jessie yelled after the running cow, who didn’t even turn around and look. Soon she disappeared over the rise.
Jessie looked at his muddy companion and started laughing again. “Sweetheart, even covered in mud, you are still as beautiful as a princess.” Jessie then got up and walked over to the saddle bags, grabbed a rag and then his canteen.
“Thank you, I must look a sight.” Cassandra said as she took rag and canteen. She tried to get the mud off, but there just wasn’t enough water.
