**********
The next day was a Sunday and Fred didn't work on Sundays. We spent the entire day together, the three of us. We drove into the next town over for lunch and had a nice Mexican food meal. It wasn't my mom's, but it was pretty tasty just the same. After lunch we went to the WalMart and Fred and Jeff went about getting groceries while I slipped off to the ladies wear department to get a few Farm Appropriate things I didn't have. Not sure if I was going to stay on there, I didn't go overboard. I did need a couple of long sleeve shirts and some better cheap trainers for time around the ranch. What I had just wasn't going to cut it. I also found a cute orange panty and bra set I thought would be nice to share with Fred, just in case. I got my stuff and checked out alone. I wasn't going to let Fred buy my clothes even though he offered.
We met at the front. Jeff was not looking his best after walking all around WalMart on that knee. He definitely wasn't back to 100% yet. I would have to work on that. The drive home took about an hour. I felt very comfortable sitting in the middle of the truck seat between two very handsome men. I was thinking to myself I could really get used to this. Maybe I could leave the city life behind and be happy on the ranch. Definitely food for thought.
We had a nice day at the house. Fred thought a nice ride was in order. Jeff begged off saying his knee was hurting and saddle time would probably make it worse. We agreed and he went back inside and watched TV. I was in a sun dress and that wasn't going to do to go horseback riding so I went in to change as well. Fred said he would saddle up the horses while I changed. I hadn't been on a horse since I was a teenager at a friend's house but Fred said it was like riding a bicycle so I was hoping it would work out ok.
Tight jeans and some new boots with one of my long sleeve denim shirts, unbuttoned over a bright pink tank top. Fred's eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw me. I don't know why because he had seen me naked already. He called me a vision of beauty. I couldn't help but blush and smile. I slapped him on the arm and called him a charmer. I warned him to be careful, a lady could get used to all of this special attention the Jones boys were dishing out. He just laughed and mounted up.
We rode for about 2 hours. We passed the pond and this time I saw it from the ridge above. I also saw the hay field where Fred had been working so hard the past week. He told me he had finished up and needed to move it all to the hay barns now. Since it was a two-man job and Jeff's knee was still bothering him, he asked if I would be willing to help out as the truck was a standard and required both legs. No way Jeff could work the clutch with his knee. I was happy to help out. Maybe I could better earn my room and board. Fred was paying me very well to take care of his son already.
When we got back he told me to go ahead inside and he would be in shortly after he put up the horses to help with supper. When I walked in the door I was very pleasantly surprised to find Jeff with an apron on and sitting at the table cutting up a salad. He informed me that dinner would be ready in 15 minutes and that his dad and I could do clean up since he cooked. I agreed and thought that was a great deal. I asked him what he was cooking and he was very tight lipped and said it was a special surprise. He told me that when he was a young teen his mom would let him help her out in the kitchen and he had learned a few things.
Dinner was very good. He called it Enchilada casserole ala mom. His father complemented him for doing such a fine job of making his mom's recipe. It wasn't really authentic Mexican food but hey, it was pretty tasty so I bragged on him as well. He was wearing a big smile all throughout dinner. After dinner Fred informed Jeff that he got him a new movie to watch so we gathered around the TV for a movie. Seating was a little different though tonight. I sat in the middle of the couch and the boys sat on either side of me. I caught a look between them that I wasn't sure about but nothing was said so I didn't think about it again.
After the movie I told the guys I needed to wash up because I smelled like horse to myself. They laughed and Fred said I smelled more like a bouquet of flowers to him and Jeff chimed in that he thought that was more like a ray of sunshine. I couldn't help but giggle at them going up the stairs. Instead of a shower as usual I felt like a good soak in the tub would feel better. To be honest, my butt and thighs were a little sore after riding today and I hoped the hot bath would sooth tired muscles.
I ran the hot bath and slid in moaning as the warm water engulfed my body inch by inch. I was right, it instantly felt good on my butt and inner thighs. I slid totally under, soaking my hair and washing my face before resurfacing. Time now to relax. I laid back in the very comfortable high-backed tub and my mind began to wonder. Last night's barn experience was very prominent on my mind, but the swimming hole frolic was also mixed in there. I realized that I really did care for Fred. He was very sweet, and kind and I felt I could fall in love with him easily if I let myself, maybe even if I didn't. Maybe I already was falling for him.
On the other hand, there was Jeff. Young and handsome and full of life and oh so much like his father in his character and kindness. I could see myself letting things get out of hand with him as well. I slid back under the water holding my breath. My relaxation was fading away and I was becoming anxious about these two men now in my life. I soon realized I wasn't going to figure it out before I needed to breathe again so I surfaced again sputtering and coughing. Just then the door inched open to the bathroom and Jeff's voice asked softly if I was ok. Was he just trying to sneak a peek or was he genuinely concerned? Laughing, I chunked my wet loofah at him and it splatted against the door right in front of his face. As it flew through the air I shouted I'm Fine at him as I was laughing. He quickly ducked back before it got him and he closed the door. I would get him for that tomorrow.
After I got out of the tub, almost an hour later, I dried and got ready for bed as always. Wearing just my robe I trotted out to my room. The house was dark and so I tried to be quiet as I went in and dressed for bed. I looked and the clock said it was already 10:30. Instead of even laying in bed I went ahead out to the front porch. I wasn't sure what might take place tonight after last night's activities. I was definitely horny but also not sure I wanted to make that a part of our nightly routine.
Sure enough, Fred was sitting on the porch, in his usual chair. I smiled and said hello and took my usual place on the swing, but only after walking over to him and giving him a soft kiss on the cheek. I just wanted him to be sure I wasn't upset or unhappy about last night's activities. We sat in silence for a few moments before he began to talk.
He started out with, "Ana, you are really a wonderful woman and I'm so glad God saw fit to bring you into our lives. You are truly a God send. I would have been up shit creak if you were not here to help out Jeff." I smiled and nodded at that comment but felt a but coming. "However, I never expected to have the feelings for you that I have. I want you to know that last night was the absolute first time I've been with anyone since my Sara died. I thought I'd feel like I had betrayed her but after I slept on it I don't. I have you to thank for that. However, while you were taking your bath, how was it by the way?" I giggled and told him it was very nice, and my butt thanked me. He chuckled at that and continued. "However, while you were up there, Jeff came out here to talk to me. I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but as we sat to watch the movie tonight, all 3 of us on the couch, I got a look from him I didn't fully understand, at least not until he came out and talked to me after we watched the movie. "
"He asked me if I had feelings for you and what my intentions were. I just had to laugh and shake my head. I asked him who he was? Your brother or something? Jeff didn't think that funny at all and said No Dad I really do like her, a Whole whole lot and it seems you do too. So out with it dad, do you have feelings for her or not?" I sat in silence, nodding to show I was listening, and I was taking in every nuance and word he was giving me. "After I looked at him a moment I had to admit, well yes son, I do have feelings for her. I'm not sure what they are as of yet but there is something there. It's been a long times since your mother was in my arms and I wasn't sure if I could even feel like that any more, but it seems I can. Then the little shit asked me if I had kissed you before. 'he laughed' I even admitted that I had and then he swore at me."
"Shit Dad! Why do you have to be falling for the first woman I've ever fallen in love with." My eyes bugged out at that declaration. I knew we had been flirting but love? Oh my gosh what have I gotten myself into.
Fred continued; "I told him that you and I had spent some time together and had kissed, he doesn't need to know more, and that I had feelings for you and hoped you had the same for me. Then I asked him what he wanted to do about it being that we were obviously falling for the same woman. Well of course he led with 'I was too old for you', and that 'I had already met the love of my life and had a family'. Both of those were true but love seems to know no boundaries. I got him to calm down and asked him to think and talk like a man. Say what he wanted to say and not lash out and blame others. Lay his cards on the table."
