A FOREVER KIND OF LOVE
By Farrah Rochon
Chapter One
The tips of black four-inch heels sank into the soft earth, blades of grass fanning around the base of the slim pedestals. The shoes were the first things he noticed about her, but now his eyes traveled upward, taking in the thin, gold ankle bracelet underneath stockings so sheer they were almost invisible.
Her black skirt was shorter than most in this small town deemed decent for such an occasion. It hugged her hips and cupped her perfect rear end. His eyes continued their slow trek, passed her delicately rounded shoulders, to her unyielding neck, and finally to the wide-brimmed black hat tilted at an angle atop her proud head.
Mya Dubois stood before the charcoal grey casket holding a single-stemmed white rose he’d seen her slip from the generous spray draping the head end of the casket. She’d stood in that same position for the past ten minutes, preventing the cemetery workers from lowering the coffin into the ground. He’d caught several shared looks of agitation between the workers, but they seemed resigned to it. They must be used to guilt-laden family members holding up their day.
Corey Anderson pushed away from the stone mausoleum wall he’d been resting against and walked over to where she stood, stopping a foot behind her.
“Welcome back home, Peaches.”
Her back became even straighter, that proud neck stiffening even more.
“And here I was hoping to get through the day without speaking to you,” Mya said, her bland words laced with sarcasm.
“And here I was hoping you’d left that sass back in New York City,” Corey replied, unable to keep the tinge of amusement from his voice. Not really appropriate given where they were standing. “Come on, Peaches. These guys need to finish their work.”
“Can I finish saying goodbye to my grandfather?” she snapped.
Corey looked over at the two workers. One held up his gloved hands in a “what can you do?” gesture. He heard a delicate sniff and Corey’s heart softened just a bit as he saw Mya’s shaking hand wipe at the trail of tears that had begun cascading down her cheek.
She looked over at the two cemetery workers. “Thank you for waiting.” Then she did an about-face and headed in the direction of the church hall.
Corey was next to her in three strides. “Mind if I attempt to be a gentleman and escort you?”
“I can manage,” she answered.
“Peaches, don’t be this way.”
She stopped and turned. She sauntered up to him, one delicate brow raised over her topaz-colored eyes. “That’s the last time I hear you say the word peaches,” she said with quiet warning. “Even if you’re eating one, you’d better call it a plum. You hear me?”
This time Corey didn’t try to stop the smile from pulling at the corner of his mouth. Very few people in the small town of Gauthier, Louisiana could talk to him in that tone of voice and get away with it.
And only one could look so good while doing it.
Damn, he’d missed her. As far as he knew, this was Mya’s first trip back to Gauthier since she’d left over fifteen years ago, and Corey doubted she would stay one minute longer than necessary. She probably had her boarding pass tucked inside that little black purse she’d been clutching throughout her grandfather’s funeral service.
Mya took off again for the church hall. Corey followed a few steps behind, admiring the view. How she managed to balance on those sexy heels once they reached the gravel parking lot was beyond his comprehension, but that was the case with just about everything Mya Dubois had ever done in her life. Why should this be any different?
