Rodeo Reunion
Page 17
“It’s a good thing I know y’all.” Kendra chuckled. “I’d be thinking the groomsman does drugs and he’s hitting on the bride. That’s a wrap. See y’all after the ceremony.”
“Get lost, Cody. Let me talk to my woman alone.”
“Are you gonna let him talk to me like that?” Cody limped around the door again.
“Get lost, Cody. Let me talk to my man alone.”
“You too?” Cody did a pretend sniff and hobbled away.
“How old is he?” Slade’s voice came through the door.
“Twenty-nine going on eleven.” She laughed. “I really appreciate you asking him to be a groomsman.”
“He’s growing on me, he’s your friend, and he can’t be in the bridal party, so I thought it was only right.”
“You being so sweet is one of the many reasons I’m here. Speaking of which, I’m not sure you realize, but you’re kind of holding up my wedding.”
“So that’s what’s going on. It’s like a rodeo reunion in there.” He chuckled. “But this won’t take long. Turn around.”
“I don’t want to see you before the wedding.”
“Trust me. Turn around. Put your cheek against the door facing outside, like we’re dancing cheek to cheek.”
“Oh.” She turned around and pressed her cheek against the door.
“Now give me your hand.”
She reached around the edge of the door and he clasped her hand as if they were waltzing. “Do you know how to waltz?”
“I can Texas two-step. But I’d learn to waltz for you.”
Her insides warmed. “My very own waltzing rodeo chaplain slash cowboy preacher.”
“Just don’t tell anybody. I have a reputation, you know.”
“I love you.”
“I love you. Ready to get this shindig started?”
“Past ready.” She sighed.
“Good. I’m looking forward to dancing through life with you.”
“See you in a few.”
“And for the rest of our lives.”
