Teaching Miss Maisie Jane (20 page)

“Only
if you don’t know where to go,” Levi said

Levi
led Jake to a back room behind the feed store and pulled a bottle out of a sack. He opened a wooden cabinet and took two small glasses out and filled each of them with about two inches of liquor.

“Put
that down you gullet,” Levi said. “Maybe that’ll scald some sense back into you.”

Jake
downed the drink in two gulps and felt the hot burn in his belly and just left it to burn for few minutes until he felt calmer.

“Okay,
I can handle this - I think.”  Jake took Levi’s drink and swallowed half of it. “Let’s go back outside. I don’t want this to be the business of anybody else.”

Levi
followed until they were back to the feed yard.

“Okay,”
Jake said. “First, Maisie Jane lied to me, she’s not twenty-one, she’s eighteen years old. That makes me twice her age, twice. Second, she’s rich. Filthy rich, money handed through four generations, it stops with her.”

Jake
named a number that had Levi eyebrows going up.

“I
don’t know what to do!” Jake exploded. “I never bargained for an heiress. Hell, what few rich people I’ve met were assholes. Every single one of them. More interested in the bottom line and cheating than helping anyone.”

Levi
scratched his head. “Jake, do you love Maisie Jane?”

“Of
course I do,” Jake snapped.

Levi
smiled. “Then, you’ve solved you problem, son. Me and Cora have known that little gal now for about six months now, and we think the world of her. It was obvious from the beginning that she’d been spoiled pure rotten and never done a day’s work in her life. But, that didn’t stop you from loving her. And, look where she is now. She’s over at my place, washing, cooking and taking care of my Cora and no one had to ask her to do it. She wants to do it. Maisie Jane has goodness in her, sweetness in her and sturdiness about her. I know she’s spoiled, and she’s sassy, and she’s probably been handful, but boy, that’s the fun when you first get hitched. I know you’ve warmed her backside some, but that’s your business as her husband. I think I paddled my Cora at least once a month when we first got hitched. And, Lord-a-mercy, don’t tell her I told you that!

You
may not have known Maisie Jane had that money, but she knew it. Has she been going around looking down her nose at anybody?  Has she been demanding anything from you, or throwing that money up in your face?  Hell, boy she didn’t even tell you about it!  She ain’t got a decent pair shoes… and yes, I know why. Cora and I had good laugh about it. But, I’ll tell you something, Jake I’ve never heard that little gal demanding anything from you. She’s teasing you about those garden gum boots, and would just as soon go barefooted. Whatever Maisie Jane’s life was before, it’s different now and I think she’s happy. When that little gal looks at you, she lights up from the inside and if a man’s got that, he got everything.

In
my opinion, which you did ask for this time, that money in the bank don’t mean nothing, except to the bankers.”

Jake
was quiet for a bit and then he turned to his friend. “Thanks Levi. I’ll tell Maisie Jane you think highly of her. And, you’re right; nothing really changes. I’m a man that needs to live by my own hand. I will not be taking or using her money. I love her. She’s a handful, but I wouldn’t have her any other way. You’re a good man Levi, you give good advice.”

“Good,
if that’s taken care of, let’s get home.” Levi said.

“I
have to settle up over at the Emporium,” Jake said.

“I’ll
meet you over there. I’m going back and get me a drink, since you drank mine. Then, we’re both going have to get some peppermints because my Cora will pin my ears back if she smells liquor on me.”

Jake
stopped off at his place to unload his packhorse, put his supplies way in the barn and carry the household goods inside. He put three packages and a letter on the kitchen table.

Then
he went to get Maisie Jane.

“What
is in that basket?” Jake demanded from behind Maisie Jane.

“A
surprise.”

“You
say that every day,” Jake complained.

“Only
because if I tell you ahead of time, you’ve got it half eaten before we get home,” Maisie Jane said laughing.

“I
know what I’m going to eat when I get home,” Jake whispered in her ear.

She
smiled and leaned back and kissed him. “Good, because I’ve got the squiggles.”

Jake
laughed. “Oh, I can take care of that in short order. Nothing like a horseback ride in the saddle to make a man horny.”

“What’s
that?”

Jake
grinned. “Male squiggles. And, that’s word that better come out of your sweet little mouth.”

Jake
carried Maisie Jane up on the porch, because she only had his wool socks on and she went into the house ahead of him. He unsaddled his horse and swung the saddle up on the porch. Then, he took his horse down to the barn, rubbed it down and, put it in its stall for the night. On his way back to the house he grabbed his saddle and carried it in and straight through the bedroom. When he came back Maisie was looking at the packages.

“Curious?”

She nodded.

“Okay
, I have news.” Jake said sitting down and pulling Maisie Jane into his lap. He picked up the letter. This is from Brett.”

Maisie
Jane’s eyes instantly turned to worry.

“We’re
staying,” Jake said.

Maisie
Jane screamed and threw her arms around him and kissed him.

“I
guess that means you want to stay.”

“Very
much,” Maisie Jane laughed with tears in her eyes. “What does the letter say?”

“Pretty
much the same as he said before. He’s not coming back, and it’s ours to do what we want with it. And, he says if I want to pay him for it send him a damn dollar. Something’s changed though because he said he wasn’t going to live in San Francisco, and he’s moving to somewhere in California called Yreka and taking his son with him. He apologized to you that the books had been left behind and said he wasn’t aware of his wife’s choice of reading materials. He said he’d forward an address when he got settled.”

“Didn’t
he say anything about his wife?”

Jake
shook his head. “Want to see what in the packages?”

Maisie
Jane eyes lit up. “Yes!”

“Well,
go ahead and open them.”  Jake watched as Maisie Jane squealed with delight at a pair of green rubber garden boots and immediately pulled them on and clumped around the kitchen laughing and smiling.

“Now
I can go out and feed the chickens, and get my eggs, and milk the cow. And, in a few months I’ll be able to plant a garden!  And, Cora says she has some flower seeds, so I can have flowers too.”

“Open
the next one,” Jake instructed.

Maisie
jumped back in his lap and ripped into the package. “Oh, Jake!  You got me blue boy boots!”  She launched herself at him, kissing him all over his face. “I love you so much!”  She jumped up, kicked off the garden boots and pulled on the blue boy boots. “Oh, Jake!  They’re so pretty and they don’t squeeze my toes!  Thank you, thank you, thank you!”  She landed in his lap again and each
thank you
was accented with a kiss.

“I
have given into the boy coat, and I’ve given into boy boots,” Jake said sternly. “But, I will not allow you to wear trousers, so don’t ask and don’t do it. I’m serious about this.”

“I’ll
wear you down, yet!” Maisie Jane said with a laugh, sticking her legs out and admiring her boots.

“Not
likely,” Jake said. “I do have my limits.”

Maisie
Jane leaned over and gave him a serious kiss.

“There’s
one more,” Jake nudged her.

She
picked up the small package and tore off the paper. “You bought me hair brush. Jake, I have a hair brush.”

“That
hair brush isn’t yours,” Jake said. “I bought that hairbrush for me.”

Maisie
Jane laughed. “But Jake, it’s a girls hairbrush.”

“I
know,” Jake said seriously. “I stood at that counter and very carefully picked out one that was just the right size.”

Maisie
Jane looked confused. “Hair brushes are picked by what kind of bristles you want, not by the size.”

“I
disagree,” Jake said taking Maisie hand and pulling her along to the bedroom. “You see… Millicent Janelle Jackson Maddox, who happens to be eighteen years old, not twenty-one, from the long line of banking Jacksons of the Second National Bank of Baltimore… you have some explaining to do.”

Maisie
Jane did not agree that the hairbrush was the perfect size. Then again, she wasn’t in the position to appreciate the perfect five-inch by three-inch oval back of that brush because it was being used against her bare bottom. The lesson she learned that day was what happens when a wife lies to her husband and about how a lie of omission is still a lie.

Jake
thought the hairbrush was perfect. And, after the spanking, as they had a long four hour session of lovemaking, he thought his Maisie Jane, his own little handful of sass and aggravation… well, she was perfect for him too!

The End.
