I called up MacKenzie to help me set it up She called and scheduled the whole next week for Jaylinn and ym with Layla for at least an hour I sent MacKenzie to Jaylinn’s house so she could pack a bag for her MacKenzie ht before Jaylinn is due hosyou to take this tiuys You both love each other Cooper, we all see it"

I hug her for a second longer before releasing her "I’ve got this, trustbrother"

We say our goodbyes and MacKenzie is pulling out of the driveway as Layla is pulling in Jaylinn jogs over to me, "Why did MacKenzie leave already?"

I tip Jaylinn’s chin up to me and kiss her lips "She helpedaway"

Her eyebrows furrow, "I can’t leave, I’ve got soccer practices and a scri Jaylinn’s bag I called Jay’s assistant coach and explained that I was taking her away for the week and to see if she could cover I added a little Cahill charreed

"It’s been handled" I reach inside the door and grab one of the bags and hand it to Jaylinn "We’ve got to get going"

"But"

I place a finger over her lips, "It’s all been handled Let et you out of here for a little while Trust me"

"Trust you" Jaylinn repeats

"Yes, do you trust me?"

Jaylinn bites on her botto that Get your et her out of here

"Good, then help o"

I practically force her out the door I don’t want her asking questions; I just want to get her there We get my truck packed and are on the road within thirtyMy hand is in hers the entire way, our fingers tangled together We’ve waited so long for this night that I begin to think that odda sunny so I could take her to the lake for a little while but the closer we get, the darker the clouds are

I’ the damn weather e pull into the driveway hours later and Jaylinn is laughing As soon as the truck stops she opens the door and giggles I s her as she dances around in the rain with her hands over her head This girl, right here, is the girl that I fell in love with My brave, fearless girl

The house is a beautiful log cabin tucked into the Pocono Mountains It’s a secluded area, all you see are trees There’s a s the side of the house and past the driveway I take it all in before I get out and walk over to her side of the truck and lean against the bed, watching her

My plans are shot to hell but right in thisat her, all wet and sexy Yup, right now the rain is looking daainst the truck, and seductively makes her way over to me
