Raging Love by Jennifer Foor

face. “You’re just jealous cause you weren’t invited.”
    Here we go again!
    “There ain’t nothin’ about you to make me jealous,” Conner said defensively.
    “Till I take off my pants. Then you will be.” Conner started approaching Ty and Miranda held her hands up blocking her brother from her husband. She was laughing so hard she couldn’t speak.
    Conner turned around and walked out of the door. “Forget this shit! Let’s roll Colt.”
    Once Conner was out of the house, I turned to look at Ty. He and Miranda were already back to their cuddle fest. “Seriously, can you just keep your mouth shut until we get finished workin’?”
    “He was taunting me.”
    “Act your age, instead of five, please,” I begged.
    Ty scooted himself off of the couch. He leaned down and kissed Miranda again. I watched their eyes intently focused on each other. It was like they were having mind sex or something. I shook my head and turned to Savanna. “We have to get to work on your surprise. Love you , Darlin ’.” To prove a point to myself, and everyone in the room, I let my kiss linger over Savanna’s lips. As I walked out the door I laughed at myself for being jealous of Ty and Miranda’s kissing.
    Damn, he is rubbing off on me!
    I was blown away when we got to the barn and the cleanout crew had shown up early. I hadn’t expected it, but when someone in our town needed help, people showed up. It was even better that they brought a roll off dumpster . A group of four guys were pulling out large metal tractor parts as we approached the barn. Ty started to unload the generator, while Conner grabbed the pressure washer. My intent was to pressure wash the entire outside and take the tractor around to cut the high grass that had grown all around the outside of the barn.
    With every prayer I had focused on my two cousins working together proficiently, I started walking back to get the tractor. It took me a good fifteen minutes , but I was more than pleased when I arrived back to find Ty and Conner working together. Instead of cutting the grass and having it uneven, I had bought a whole truckload of sod that was to be delivered the next day. I took the tractor and tore up the existing weed filled grass to give the dirt a nice even bed. When the landscapers arrived all they would have to do was roll them out evenly.
    It took the guys a few hours to pressure wash the whole outside of the barn. For the most part, all of the old paint came right off. The sun was shining down, drying the wood quickly. To give the barn the exact look of the original , we picked out the same red paint and had to rebuild the barn doors from scratch. Conner worked on the doors, while Ty painted all of the white trim.
    As the sun began to set, we started spraying the outside the deep color. I had rented the sprayer for two days and it worked so much faster than rolling it. Since the roof was metal, w e climbed on top and sprayed it the dark gray color that it once had .
    When the moon replaced the sun, we had already painted the whole roof, the front and one side. The cleanout crew finished in less time than they had expected and we were able to get into the empty barn right away. Since there was nothing in it, and the paint on the outside had dried for the most part, we started gently spraying the inside.  I knew the outside would need another coat, especially since we had sprayed some of it with water, but we had a good head start.
    We called it a night around ten in the evening. After dropping off the guys at the other two houses, I headed back to find Savanna asleep on the couch. Without waking her, I carried her up to our bed and tucked her in. I was working so hard to give her the perfect day she always dreamed of. I climbed in bed beside her and pushed the hair out of her face. She was so beautiful to me. I loved her full lips and the tiny freckles on the bridge of her nose. Her dark hair was longer now and it fell past her breasts.
    Savanna was
