“Discuss at a later time. Ryder, to be honest; I really need to give that some thought. Okay?” I say back to him and hope that I don’t hurt his feelings again.
      “That’s fine, thank you for answering. Next thing is , will you wait for me? Will you be here when I get back? I hope not to be gone long, but if say something happens. Will you wait for me?” I have never seen or heard him like this. I am kind of nervous.
      “Ryder, are you okay? Is something going to happen? Why are you asking me this? You’re going to be fine, you’re going on a normal drop and hook like you said last night at dinner. It’s nothing just a gravy run. Remember?” My body temp just went up by about 10 degrees because; I am full of worry and concern.
       Ryder grabs a hold of my hand and kisses my palm and then on the inside of my wrist and I instantly get goose bumps, “Just tell me that you’ll wait for me.” He asks as he kisses my palm again.
      “Yes, I will wait for you Ryder. I don’t know why; but something tells me that I will wait for you. You’re an asshole and a douche waffle; but I will be here.” I smile at him and try to get him to laugh.
       He gives a little smile and pulls me up to my feet and gives me the biggest hug I think I have ever gotten from anyone. “Thank you Faith. I am so glad that you ran into my life. You give me reason to be a better person. Thank you.”
    He holds me so tight that I feel like I could pop in half. I just snuggle in more and inhale his scent. Man, cologne and diesel. Sounds strange but on him it smells amazing!
      “You know I don’t know why you think I am so special because I’m not. I know that you’re just saying those things to make me feel better about myself. But you really don’t need to try and make me feel better about myself anymore.” I tell Ryder while I drop my gaze to the floor.
    Ryder lets out a low laugh/growl and stands right in front of me, lifts my chin with his finger then puts hi s hands on either side of my face Wow, I don’t think I have ever heard Ryder talk like this .. He lowers his lips to mine and gently starts to kiss me. He drags his lips over mine as he starts to deepen the kiss a little bit more. I reach up and put my hands on his arms.
    He stops kissing me for a second and rests his forehead against mine, he looks into my eyes; “When are you going to start trusting me and trusting what you feel? Think about it while I’m gone Faith. Please, truly think about it.” He kisses me on the end of my nose and then on my forehead and turns to walk back towards the back lot where his truck is parked and running.
       I watch Ryder walk away and I start to think about the little time we have spent together and how close we have gotten. I know I worry about getting hurt again because of Beau, but I don’t know how Layla thinks that Ryder is going to hurt me. Everything he has ever said to me seems pretty legit.
    But, I am still not letting my defenses down, if anything Ryder will be a test of my resolve.  Maybe I can have some good times with him without getting too involved?

 
    *****
     
       While Ryder is gone the only thing to do was work like normal and live my life as I normally would and act like nothing was different. But why does it feel like everything in my life has changed.
      All I can think about when I have a free second is Ryder, how it would feel to have him walk in the door and for me to run up to him, jump into his arms and wrap my legs around him. He could take me out to his truck and slam me up against the grill and pull my hair softly.
      I shake my head and focus on the truckers in the diner that are waiting for their food. I don’t want to show any emotion around these nasty old men. This is why I don’t understand how Ryder is in this world; he is so gorgeous. He is ripped from head to toe; his thighs could probably crush things. And his face has a perfect chiseled jawbone. He has amazing looking hair
