The Runaway Gypsy

To be or to not…there is no middle

Eight weeks latter,

Bo’s POV…

We have been back in Texas for two months. Lailas mother went back to New York with two of her brothers but Rhett and his wife stayed on here, with us. It’s been down right delightful, having Laila in my life, my home, my bed. With every passing day I find we are spending more and more time together, but today she asked me to take her out riding. She refuses to get on a horse by herself, she asked if she could just ride with me, so how could I tell her no. I’m a early riser compared to my wife, who think 9 am is the crack of dawn. I leave her rolled in the sheet and get out to the riding stables a half hour later then the working crew and find my sister Elizabeth waiting outside baby dolls stall. I don’t feel like Elizabeth’s sh*t today. She’s been on a real kick since I got back, she’s been down right cruel to Nova and she has rode my last nerve to a fault “what ever your here to b*tch at me over now I’m not really in the mood for it this morning Liz”. She glares at me with such contempt “ you aren’t the same since you took on that wife, you could of had anyone and you picked her. She doesn’t fit in this life style, you need to send her back”. I’ll give my sister one this she has nerve, but she has over stepped “Liz if I wanted advice on how to f*ck my life up, trust me I’d come to you for it. However I’m perfectly happy with my life and you need to get a better attitude about it, Laila is here to stay and that’s that” . I know it’s not going to do a bit of good but I said my peace. Knowing my sister tho she won’t stop, she has done nothing but be rude and mean to Laila and Laila has been nothing but nice and still Liz dogs her. When she looks at me “she doesn’t belong here, she has to go one way or another Bo the sooner you accept that the better” I don’t like what she is trying to imply and it must show “you can get mad all you want Bo she’s a moron, so far all she has proved is that she’s a good s*x kitten and she can’t do much of anything else around here” my temper starts to boil “your just bitter and want everyone to be unhappy like yourself. Your still not over your divorce, and it only makes you hateful that you know father won’t condone you and the ranch hand you been messing with” that last little bit stuns her. She doesn’t think anyone knew about her and Gary but some of us do know, and we know a lot more then she thinks we do. It takes her a moment to recover from it but boy when she does “oh you think your cute huh, you’ll see before it’s all done, you’ll see she don’t belong here and you’ll see how useless she is at anything other then being a w***e cause that’s what she is” Liz back is to the door and she doesn’t know Laila is standing in the entry of the door, but I know she’s there. As Laila starts to cross the barn I look my sister right in her eye and tell her “my wife is the furthest thing from a w***e there ever has been but the next time you make a threat against her I will go to our father and tell him everything, and if you ever make a threat against my wife again I won’t bother even telling father why you was given your walking papers but you won’t be here no more. Which leads me to think you know that if you harm one hair on her head that it will be your ruining with our people” right as I finish Laila walks around her and into my arm “Elizabeth I don’t know why you hold such contempt against me but you should know I hold no ill will against you, I want us to get along”. My sister just crosses her arms and marches away. I don’t know what her problem is with me having a life that I wanted but she needs to get over herself. I’m so wrapped up on my own thoughts that I miss what Laila said to me so I give her a hmmm “I asked if you might know why she hates me and wants you to get ride of me so badly” when I turn to her I see the saddens in her eyes and it brakes me, if my sister would have been a man I swear I would chase her down and kill her, but as it is I’ll have to have Page do it for me “ don’t pay her no mind darlin, she ain’t been happy since that divorce and she don’t want anyone else happy either”. It’s Laila’s response catch’s me off guard “do I Bo? Do I make you happy?” I’m shocked by the question. Laila has never came across as anything but one hundred percent confident that she is the best thing since show leather “are you serious right now Laila” she nods at me and looks at the ground “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to make you angry” she says as she try’s to draft off “ hold up there, where are you going” I say as I grab her by the arm before she gets to far from me. She doesn’t lift her head, and it’s not till I feel her body tremble that I place my finger under chin and lift her face the smallest bit that I see the tears. I’m so caught off guard I don’t know what to do so I just roll with the first thing that comes to me “ Laila darlin don’t care please I’m sorry, Don’t pay her any mind she’s a b*tch and don’t know what she’s talking about” she shakes her head “it’s not that, well not all just that’s, just let me go I’m sorry Bo I’ll try harder I’m sorry” why is she sorry, I don’t even know what the he*l has happened “ Laila what are you sorry for? You haven’t done anything to be sorry for?” She freezes in my hold and then she panics “please let me go back to the house” I’m totally lost and I don’t like it at all “ Laila right now tell me what’s wrong, why are you so upset? If you tell me that I’ll let you do whatever you want but right now I’m missing something and I don’t know what but this is not how we walk away from each other “ she collects her self a little then looks me in the eye while fresh tears start to pool and puddle in her eyes “when I asked if you was happy you got made, you called me by my name and you never call me Laila ever” I release my breath and pull her over to the bench close to us “ oh darlin I’m sorry I didn’t mean it like that. You make me happy, very very happy I promise ya I love you Laila I have since day one, for me your it and I am happy with you. You make me whole” she leans up on her toes and presses her lips mine and after a moment she whispers “I love you too” for a moment I wonder if I heard that or if I hallucinated it. I pull back from her just the smallest bit, I have her caged in my arms pulled close to me. I dry the tears streaking her beautiful face “I’m gonna need you to repeat that so I know you said it and I didn’t dream it up, darlin” she does a little hiccup laugh “you heard me ya big goon I said I love you too” before she can say another word or even breath a knot her breath I pull her close and kiss her deeper then I have before, I put everything I have in this kiss. When I feel her body relax against mine, her finger snake into my hair, her left legs slide up mine as if her is trying to climb up me, all I know is I need her. I bend down and grab her and she wraps around me, it’s one of the things she does that insane, it’s also one of many things she does I can’t get enough of. I back her to the wall and start to trail kisses down her jaw, to her throat and collar bone “Bo take me back to the house please” I let out a growl at her request “where’s the fun in that darlin, how about a roll in the hay?” She lets out a giggle and I take the steps to the hay loft two at a time as fast as I can with out tripping myself and hurting us both. As soon as I hit the top step I release my hold on her “jeans off now” is all I get out between kissing her and trying to shed layers in our lust fueled haze. She lets out a laugh as she grabs my shirt and pulls me to her and kisses me, it drives me crazy, she drives me crazy but in the best possible way and I can’t get enough of her. Some how I manage to get her one leg free of her jeans and that’s good enough, I rip her panties off and undo my own jeans, as soon as I get the zipper down I plunge into her and it’s pure ecstasy. I pump into her fast and hard holding nothing back and when she arch’s her back and moans how good I feel in her, when she begs for more I go into a manic state. I’m on the edge of blowing but I want her to c*m I was to feel her body squeeze me and milk me dry, I love it when she does. I lift her and roll us so she can ride me, and ride me she does. Her hair is so long down her back it tickles my balls, her shirt is unbutton and her lace bra makes for easy work for my hands to work her breast out of the cups. I finally get us in a half sitting half laying position and take her beautiful bouncing n****e into my mouth and suck on it. When she moans and grabs my shoulder the way she does I smile and do it again again, while rolling her other n****e with my fingers “c*m for baby, I want to feel your p*ssy milk me dry” the minute I say it she slides down me and detonates around me and I lose all will power and pump into her shaking body one more time as deep as I can I grunt my worshipping of her, and then she collapse on my shoulder and panting she whispers “Oh wow Bo” I laugh and try to pull her even closer to me, and kiss her. I don’t know how long we stay attached to each other, I don’t know how many times I tell her I love her but I do know she tells me she loves me 15 times before she pulls out of my arms and off my d*ck. I try to pull her back but she isn’t going for it “I told you to take me home, if we was at home we could lock the door and lay in bed all day with each other, but wanted to do it here now we need to get dressed before some one finds us” I start to laugh and she smacks my shoulder. I stand and do up my fly and tuck my shirt back in “I take back everything I said Bo, I hate you” she smiles and I know she is only playing but I laugh even harder. She is bouncing all over the loft while trying to get her jeans on when she pops up over a hay stake with her one boot and says “one down one to go” I’m puzzled cause I only managed one boot and one leg before I couldn’t stop myself “darlin what are you looking for? I only took one boot off” she give me a dirty look “my underwear, ya know the ones you ripped off me?” I reach in my pocket and pull them out from where I shoved them “you mean these ones?” I ask as I dangle them in front of me “I don’t know whAt good they will be at this point but did you think I’d leave them in the hay loft for some one else to find?” She shoots me that dirty look again “your a perv ya know that Bo, a dirty minded old man that’s what you are perv” I act like I’m wounded by her calling me a old man when in fact I’m only three years older then her. It’s not till I bunch her panties up and sniff them that she is appalled “you hurt my feelings, I’m only twenty two years old, if that’s old to you then your no spring chicken at nineteen darlin” when she pushes the leg of her jeans down over her boots she looks up at me “your only twenty three?” How old did she think I was “ ya how old did you think I was darlin?” She shrugs “ I don’t know, I knew you was in your twenty’s, but I thought you was closer to thirty” I smile and pull her back onto me lap now that she’s dressed “nope I’m not that old darlin, you think I could have got you pawned off on to me if I was that old?” She shrugs again it this time her face falls and becomes sad again “Laila I didn’t mean it bad, I’m playing, there is age rules when it comes to the oaths. Five years in age and you had to be eight teen before the oath is signed that’s why I had to wait the year from when I first seen you to get the oath made. I spent that whole year on my knees begging the Lord to keep you safe and to not let you fall for someone else. I knew things wouldn’t be easy but I never dreamed it would take me another year to find you and get you back. Then when you came back so willingly and things went as easy as they did, I questioned ever move that was made. I waited with held breath to wake up one day and you’d be gone, even after you got in the car I was still scared you’d leave me. I don’t know why or what has upset you so much but you can’t pay any attention to Liz, Ill get Page to straighten her out I promise but I adore you, everything you do is perfection to me and the longer we are together the more I need you darlin, so please don’t be sad and don’t ever doubt that I love you and who ever don’t like us being together can go right to hell.” She wraps her arms around me so fast and clings to me I don’t know what’s going on. It’s when she starts sobbing I panic “Laila what’s wrong darlin, this is more then what Liz said, tell me what’s a matter?” I spin us around so she is sitting on the stack of hay and I’m kneeling in front of her and as she tries to pull herself together in broken sobs she tells me “a few days ago that man Gary that works here on the ranch came back to the house. I was cleaning and I heard some one come in and I thought it was you and I came to see why you was back so early, but it wasn’t you it was him. He told me that I needed to leave that he wasn’t going to get pushed around and watch you and I play happy little love birds in front of him. He said that if I didn’t leave he would make me pay for your sins. I told him I was going to call the cops that he broke in and he said go ahead I was sent in here to make sure everything was ok, he said he had people on the ranch who would tell the cops that to. Then I told him I was going to tell you and he said to do it, that he was going to tell

You I invited him in and then tried to seduce him and when he rejected me I made up lies on him. He even said he would be more then happy to make sure I was ruined for you. I ran out of the house bare foot and over to the big house the only person I could find was Elizabeth and she told me to forget about it and just to calm down that I misunderstood him, that Gary was a wonderful guy who wouldn’t hurt anyone. Then she told me how I was just home sick and I really didn’t belong here that this was far out of my element. I have been waiting for one of them to say something to you, for them to ruin me in your eyes. And a month ago I wouldn’t have cared but then things changed, my feelings changed from like to love and I have been so worried for days that if they lied how would I be able to prove my innocents against your sisters word. Then when I came in and heard you telling her off this morning I knew you wouldn’t believe the lies even if they did tell them to you and I was so relieved, that’s why I was crying earlier” right when she finishes and before I can process everything we hear a loud bang of the doors down stairs some one was in here, we haven’t been alone. I go to the loft window and wouldn’t ya know it Gary is tucking tail and jogging towards Liz’s car. I watch as they drive away together “darlin I don’t want you to worry about anything alright. I know what they are up to, and I’m gonna get them straightened out ok”. She nods but doesn’t say anything else when I finally turn back towards her she looks dead dog tired “Laila you alright, you look like your about ready to pass out” she stands and puts her hands in her pockets “just everything that happen and all the excitement got the best of me, would it be ok if we went for a ride another day? When your not busy of course?” I nod “that’s fine with me” she looks to the stairs and then back to me “Bo I’m going to go home and lay down if that’s ok with you” why would she even ask if it’s ok with me? “Fine by me, but darlin you don’t have to ask me to go home and lay down like that I’m your husband not your owner” she nods and comes over to me, rises on her top toes and kisses me. When I pulls back her eyes are still closed “ you want me to carry you home darlin, cause I will?” She smiles “no I can walk myself across our back yard but wow can you kiss a girl” I smile at myself “I can do a whole lot to a girl if she wants me to” she smiles and starts to walk away from me when she makes the bottom of the steps she looks up and finds me watching her on the ledge of the loft “hey Bo” I look down at her “ya darlin” she smiles up at me “you got one thing right” I’m puzzled so I ask “ya what’s that” she smiles and yells “you show can make a girl feel all sorts of a way when you take her for a roll in the hay” and as my jaw hits the ground and then turns into a laugh, she sachets away the best I ever seen.

Laila POV

My mind is working double time trying to work out all my different feelings. Today was meant to go differently, I wanted to go riding with Bo. He told me we would ride out and see the prettiest part of the property. Then I over heard what Elizabeth was telling him, I had put the pieces together on my own that Elizabeth was having a secret fling with Gary, but it was Bo’s words that put me at ease and gave me comfort. Hearing Elizabeth also made Gary’s threat and why he did it seem a little less random. It’s clear to see they are working together but why. When I told Bo I loved him he seemed beyond pleased, when he had me repeat it is when I knew he had been waiting for me to say it,for me to feel it to and I do mean it. The more time I spend with Bo the more I fall for him, the more I want us to work, the longer I’m within him the codependent I become, I need Bo, I love Bo. After the wild s*x in the hay loft and my good cry, I’m exhausted and I just want sleep. I make it back to the house and I change into a yoga set and climb into bed, and fall fast asleep. I wake up to a sound but after a minute of silence I lay back down thinking it must have been a dream it’s not till I see something move out of the corner of my eye that I realize I was wrong, but it’s to late.

Bo’s POV

I come into the house quiet as a church mouse, it’s almost midnight and I don’t want to wake Laila. I meant to be home hours ago but the talk I had with my father and Page took way longer then I thought it would. My father called Elizabeth and told her to come Homs that he needed her help but she took her damn sweet time, she knew he was bluffing but whatever. I’m wore out and just want my bed, my wife wrapped in my arms and sleep at this point. I sneak into the bedroom, I can make out the outline of Lailas body on the bed from the moon light coming in from the glass door on the far side of our bedroom. I tip toe to the closet and turn on the light the angle of the closet shines light everywhere else but on her face. I gather some clean stuff and start to make my way to the bathroom when I notice the glass door is now open but Laila is still in bed, it was closed when I walked in here wasn’t it? I reach for my shot gun that sits by the closet door and also for the bedroom light switch at the same time,I’d rather wake Laila and scare her then have some one brake in. I’m not ready for what I find when the lights come on tho. The door is wide open the curtain is blowing in the night breeze and Laila is laying in our bed half naked in a pool of blood, I rush to her to see if she’s breathing, to see if I can get her to speak, to get anything to prove she’s alive. I pull out my phone and call 911 the second the dispatcher answers I tell her who I am and that my wife has been assaulted by a Home intruder that I need a ambulance and police ten minutes ago. I know they won’t take long because of who we are and how much money we give both departments every year. I give the dispatcher the code for the gate and hang up, I press Pages name and drop the phone “Laila darlin I need you to wake up, I need you to talk to me baby please you gotta give me something baby girl help is on its way come now wake up” I can hear the sirens coming and the bedroom door flys open and Page comes running with the medical box “Bo move back” is all she says and pushes me back onto my a*s and starts working on Laila. The next thing I know there is ems workers and police all over the house. Rhett comes threw the door “Laila, where’s Laila? What happen to Laila?” As he comes into the bedroom they are putting her on a stretcher to take her to the hospital. All the color in his face drains and he passes out. A lone police office says he’s got him and for the ems to they me to the hospital as I’m following them I hear Page tell them cop when he wakes up get him to methodist hospital downtown. My sister jumps in the back of the ambulance with me and the doors slam shut and we are moving. I hold Lailas limp hand in mine and pray harder then I have ever prayed before.
