Trouble in a Stetson (11 page)
Tears poured down Lola’s face. “Hey, I kind of know how you feel about that, Sam.
It’s been that way for me my whole life, ya know? Nothing happened with Nick. He just kissed me. I tried to push him—”
“Shh. I know.” Sam wrapped her up in his arms. She was trembling and he hated himself all over again. “I got the wrong idea about things. I know better now. Here’s the deal, I saw that man with his hands and his mouth all over you and I just went a little crazy. I’ve felt like you were mine for quite a while now.”
Her nose had been buried in his chest but now she looked up at him. “You have?”
“Yeah, I have. I’m in love with you, Lola. I love everything about you. I respect you.
And I want you forever. Stay. Stay here with me. Okay?”
“Okay, Sam. Okay. I love you too. I’ll do anything for you, honey. Heck, you can even shoot my car if you wanna.”
Sam kissed her as the cracks in his heart filled with the kind of love that would last him the rest of his life. He had his sweet little showgirl and that was enough.
