Chapter 13
Ray took Jessie in the living room, and she pulled away from him.
"Jessie sit I need to talk to you"
"You want me to leave it wasn't my fault you kissed me"
"No it wasn't your fault, and that kiss meant something to me. I feel so horrible for you Jessie, and I want you around but Pam may be right. I don't know if I can keep myself from kissing you again can you handle that"
Jessie wiped tears from her eyes, and smiled, "I know you care but I won't survive alone I know that now, if I didn't find you I would probably trust someone that would hurt me worse than I have already been hurt. The kiss kind of freaked me out but it was sweet, and I know you just feel sorry for me"
Ray walked out touching her cheek, and Jessie touched his hand. "Ray please say you won't give up on me too"
"Jessie lets go to McDonald's, and grab a burger, we can get a shake too"
"I like that Ray I don't like it here to much"
"They are good people but I think we will keep to ourselves for a while"
Jessie hugged Ray, and whispered, "You won't regret this, I promise you I will earn my keep"
"You don't worry about it, I just love your company"
"Can we go to McDonald's I'm starving". Ray wrapped his arms around Jessie, and whispered, "Yes we can". They walked outside Ray said they were leaving, and he walked Jessie to the trunk, and she got in. Jock walked over to Ray, and grabbed his arm.
"Ray stay we are having burgers , we will not say anything that will upset you two"
"I need to work this out myself, and I'm grateful for the invite but we are leaving". Ray walked to his trunk door, and got in, and drove off.
Jock walked over to the others, and JR smiled.
"I wonder what that is about, who wants a bet they are going home to have some alone time"
"Shut up JR". Jock said as he walked inside, and JR smiled.
"What did I say now"? Miss Ellie glared at him, and she went in after Jock.
Ray was driving to McDonald's, Jessie smiled.
"Ray are you OK"?
"Yes just a long day"
"I'm sorry"
"Nothing to be sorry for"
Jessie smiled as they drove up to McDonald's , and got out. They went inside, and Ray asked her what she wanted to eat.
"1/4 pounder with cheese, and a chocolate shake"
"Combo"
"That is expensive "
"I think I can splurge how about jumbo fries"
"Jumbo I can handle that" Ray and Jessie smile as he gave the girl their order, and they paid, and walked to a booth. Jessie grabbed her burger, "I only had one of these once when my Foster Mom bought it for me before she passed away. I thought it was Heaven, and this looks like Heaven"
"Dig in"
Jessie took a bite, and smiled as Ray took a bite of his Big Mac. They were eating, Jessie couldn't finish everything, her stomach was bothering her. She was drinking her milkshake, and Ray was finishing her fries.
"Jessie what happened today it is in the past, and lets focus on the future"
"I can't see past today Ray"
"You don't know what your future plans are"?
"No just to survive, and be happy is a good goal"
"Well how about helping me around the Ranch, the fresh air will do you wonders, and it is rewarding work"
"I would like that but can I have a couple of days to feel better. I still feel weak , but I promise I will take care of the house, I will not let you down"
"Take as long as you need,I think we will make a great team"
"Team I like that"
Ray got up, "Lets go home, and get some sleep this day exhausted me "
"Me too"
Ray took her hand, and they both left McDonald's.

Chapter 14
Jessie and Ray got home, and they hung up their coats. Ray said he was going to turn in he had to get up real early, and he was real tired. She gave him a hug, and they locked up, and went to their rooms. Jessie was tired too but she rarely sleeps but after today she had to make it through the night without being a baby, and asking Ray to be with. She got in bed, and curled up she kept the light on, and she shut her eyes, and said a little prayer, and opened her eyes knowing this was going to be a long night. She got up going to her bag, and grabbed a book the only one she had but she found it in her Foster Mother's room after she died. It was one she read so many times she memorized most of it. It was the Notebook, and it was such a sad but romantic story, and she can't remember how many times it got her through the worst days of her life. She opened the book, and started reading. It was 2 hours later she was still reading but she could barely keep her eyes open, but she was afraid he would find her, and she wouldn't hear him coming. She started to cry she hated that he was ruining her life will she ever find peace. She jumped when someone knocked at the bedroom door.
Jessie put the book beside the bed, and pulled the blanket up, and said come in.
"Jessie I saw the light on what is the matter"
"I need it on Ray, I know it cost money, but I can't sleep"
"Would you like me to sleep beside you"?
Jessie moved over, Ray turned the light out, and got in bed.
"Jessie he can't hurt you here I promise"
"I know Ray I'm trying"
"I know you are Jessie but maybe you can rest with me here beside you"
Jessie laid her head on his shoulder, Ray wrapped his arm around her, and they finally fell asleep together.
The next morning Ray woke up not finding Jessie in bed. He got up, and walked out to the living room, but heard noises coming from the kitchen.
"Ray I made you breakfast you said you had to get up at 5"
"Yes but you were up until 2am, I didn't want this"
"I made pancakes they got a little burnt but I think they are still good. I can't do anything right, I'm not really a cook, but I try"
"This looks so good but I really want coffee"
"I made you a cup, I don't like it much, but I read the directions"
Jessie walked over to Ray handing him the mug, and he took a sip but almost spit it out.
"Oh God this is way to strong"
"I read the directions"
"I will make a new batch sit down, and eat your pancakes"
Jessie sat down, and lifted her fork, but stared at her food. Ray changed the coffee, and walked over sitting down pouring the syrup on the pancakes, and took a bite.
"Now this is good"
Jessie smiled but he could see she was upset.
"Jessie you don't like coffee , I like my coffee weak, it was to strong"
"Want some juice I can't spoil that it is in the container"
"Jessie sit right now"
"What you need juice"
"Sit"
Jessie sat down, and Ray leaned over, "Stop being sensitive the coffee sucked, but your pancakes were great, and I'm not upset about it. You should taste my food you will see bad cooking when I cook for you"
"Really"
"Well I do a mean BBQ, but cooking on the stove not my thing"
"Obviously not mine either"
"Well I will get you a cookbook after work, I think I will take you shopping to get some stuff you need"
"I need a few things"
"Can I have some more of these awesome pancakes"
"Your trying to make me feel good"
Ray pushed almost half of his pancake into his mouth making Jessie laugh as she got up making some more pancakes for him.
Ray smiled it was nice having someone around, but he also knew they had some rough times ahead, but he knew having Jessie around was a good thing, and he was going to help her through this , and make her feel safe again.

Chapter 15
Jessie was cleaning up when Ray got ready to leave. Ray walked into the kitchen as Jessie just finished with the dishes. She hated when he left but she knew he was close so she acted like it was OK. Ray knew she was nervous, and he hated leaving her but he had to.
Jessie remember call me on my cell anytime if you need anything, I can be here in a few moments. I will come home for lunch, and about 3 we will go shopping, and maybe pick up a pizza"
"You don't want me to cook"
"We have lots of time for that but take it easy remember the Doctors orders 1 week rest. I will call you but I will see you at 12, and lock the door, and you will be safe"
"OK Ray have a good day"
Ray grabbed his stuff, and walked to the door, and Jessie followed. He turned giving her a kiss on the cheek, and left. She was watching he waved, and she shut the door, and put the double locks on. She walked down the hall, and went into the bathroom, and showered, than she got dressed. She made her bed, and was put her bag in the closet. She grabbed the wet towels, and a few other things, and went , and started a load of laundry. She went to Ray's room, and laughed seeing his boxers on the floor, she grabbed them, and 2 wet towels he left in his room, and ran , and put them in the washer. She went back, and was making Ray's bed, and was straightening up. She saw a bookshelf, and was looking at his books. He loved mysteries like her, but she also loved a great romance. She wanted to pull out a book but she knew they were not hers to touch. She wanted to buy some of her own books or go to the library but she didn't drive. She walked down the hall, and waited for the washer to finish so she could put the load in the dryer. She did that, and went up cleaning up in the living room, and was dusting a little. She finished up she sat on the couch for a minute she felt a little sick, she laid back but didn't want to sleep. She finally got up , and went out on the veranda , and was sweeping it, and the stairs. She sat down it was so beautiful out, she walked over looking around Ray's house, and she thought flowers would make his place real pretty. She got excited, and ran in and called Ray's cell phone.
Ray was busy fixing a fence he grabbed his cell, and said Hello"
"Hi Ray it is me Jessie, I was wondering if today can get some flowers to plant around your house"
'Jessie I'm working I told you to call if it was something important"
'I'm sorry Ray I will let you go". Jessie hung up, and Ray yelled out her name, and he kicked the fence.
"Krebbs you idiot". He dialed his home, and Jessie didn't pick up until the 7th ring.
"Hello"
"Jessie I'm so sorry I was so out of line being so cruel"
"No you are right I will not call you again while your working"
"Jessie I was rushing to get home to you earlier, and I hurt my toe, and you called right after so I took it out on you forgive me"
"You hurt your toe oh Ray"
"I'm fine but do you forgive me Sweetie"
"Yes"
"The flowers sound like a nice touch, I was thinking you would like a more girlie touch for your room"
"My room is fine you should have seen what I had at my Foster home"
"I want you to have whatever you need to forget that place"
"There is something I would like to ask you , I was in your room I did a load of laundry. I made your bed but you have a bookshelf can I look at the books, I love to read, but I don't have any books"
"Go but they are mysteries or Cowboy stories maybe tonight we can get you some books"
"Really I would love that"
"I will be home in 2 hours you can make me a sandwich OK"
"OK I will see you than, thank you Ray"
"Bye , and don't go cleaning to much"
"I won't see you at 12, I can make some ice tea you like"
"Yum"
Jessie smiled as she said goodbye again, and hung up, and ran to get the load out of the dryer so she could make the ice tea after, and the sandwiches.

Chapter 16
Jessie had the table set she heard Ray's trunk drive up. She ran to the door, and opened it, and Ray smiled as he walked up the stairs.
"Lunch is ready Ray"
"Great I'm starving, I hope you made that ice tea you promised"
Ray took his hat off, and hung it on the hook, and Jessie went into the kitchen, and grabbed the ice tea, and poured to glasses. Ray sat down as he looked at the sandwiches, and smiled.
"Egg Salad "
"You like egg salad I hope"
"Love it" Ray took one, and took a bite, and smiled, "They are real good, but I could eat 3 of these sandwiches"
"Good I made you three". Jessie smiled as they were eating, and she asked him how his day was going"?
"I hurt my toe, but it is better now, and I got a lot done this morning. I might be home around 3, be ready we can go shopping, and to the bookstore to get you some books"
"Yes maybe a couple of romantic books, I can read your mysteries"
"Romance you like romance books"
"Yes I love them"
"Wow I wouldn't think you would"
"Why because I was raped, I know it must be strange to you"
"Oh God no, I just think romance is boring"
"Boring not if you find the perfect person like the couple in Notebook they loved each other, but they had so much heartache, but in the end you want a love like that. I probably will never find it but reading it is fun"
"Oh Jessie I'm a stupid man, I truly was joking about the romance thing, and of course you would like romance forgive me"
Jessie giggled, "Of course I would like it why because I'm a girl"
"Yeah pretty much"
"Well I bet someday someone will sweep you off your feet, and you will know what real love means than Ray Krebbs"
"What lady would want a cowboy like me"?
Jessie laughed but whispered, "I would"
Ray put his ice tea down, and Jessie jumped up, "You want some more ice tea, is it sweet enough for you"
"Jessie"
"Ray I just mean I would love to fall in love with someone like you, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable"
"I would love some of that ice tea".
Jessie grabbed it, and brought it over to Ray, and poured a glass. She poured some more for herself, and sat down. They were eating, and Jessie was talking about flowers, and things they needed around the house. All Ray could think about was he could get use to having her around, and he also knew he was falling for her, but she was just someone who needed someone to care, and someone to take care of her. He knew she needed a friend, but he was hoping for more, but he had to focus, and treat her more like a sister, and he had to make her healthy, and help her start her life over, and hope her past would not come back to haunt her.

Thanks for reading my last chapter Sanda, I love writing this story for myself. Chapter 17 Ray left the house, and told her he would be home in 2 hours to pick her up to go shopping. She said she would be ready, she sat on the couch after cleaning up the kitchen, and laid down, and was reading one of Ray's books. She jumped when someone knocked at the front door. She got up, and she was scared she knew it couldn't be her Foster Dad, but she feared he would find her one day, and kill her. She walked over to the door, and asked who was there? "It is Jock, and Ellie Jessie open the door please" She opened the door, and asked them to come in, but told them Ray was at work. "We know that we came over to see how you were doing?" "I'm fine thank you, Ray is going to take me shopping after work to get a few things for me, but not a lot, I don't need a lot" Jock smiled, "That is fine you don't have to explain anything to us, but yesterday things got out of hand, and we are sorry for that. I'm happy Ray is helping you, but we worry that is all" "Worry about Ray you don't think I would steal or anything, I swear I'm not like that" "No we don't think you will steal come sit down, we can talk a bit" "I can make you a coffee but Ray said I make horrible coffee he nearly spit it out, I was so ashamed. I read the directions on the can, I don't know what I did wrong. We have cola, juice, and beer"? "No ice tea"? "Yes I have ice tea would you both like one"? "Yes please". Jessie ran into the kitchen, and they waited, and she brought out a tray with 3 ice teas, and some cookies" "These are store bought but they are good" "Thanks" Jessie sat in the chair, she didn't know what to say next so she just smiled at them. "Jessie I was talking to Ray this morning, and he said you wanted to work around the farm to earn your keep. I don't know if your strong enough to do chores around the grounds" "I'm real strong, I just have to rest for a few days, I can do it" "Well if you think you can do it that would be fine" "Great" "Jessie you don't have any other family you can call, or rely on"? "No Mame I was in Foster care all my life, my real parents died well that was what I was told." "You poor child" "I'm not a child, and I will get back on my feet real soon, and not be a burden to Ray, but he really cares about me. I know you all think Ray is making a mistake taking me in, and I understand that. He saved my life, and I owe him so much, and I will do whatever it takes to pay him back for all his help. He is the kindest man I have ever met, and I trust him" Jock smiled, "Ray is a good man, but a stubborn one too. You will see that side I'm sure young lady" "I think I drive him crazy Sir, I am a big baby recently he has so much patience , and he makes me laugh, and I feel safe with him" "Jessie you know you can call us anything you like, and if you need anything we will be here for you" "Thank you I will call you if I ever need you. " "We should get going, I hope you are not upset we came today" "Not at all it was fun talking to you both, you are like Grandparents, I never had any, I see kids in movies, and I would dream of my Grandma and Grandpa telling me stories, and making me cookies, and going fishing, it helped me get to sleep most nights." "If you feel comfortable calling us Grandma, and Grandpa we would love it" "Really I'm not to old"? "Never to old" Jessie hugged Miss Ellie, and than Jock, and they smiled as she walked them to their car, and waved as they drove away. She walked up the stairs, and sat on the first step of the stairs, and smiled today was a great day, one of the best days of her life, and she only hoped she would have many more.
