and keys and stormed out of the bar.
Daniel wanted to run after her. But no way was he going to bend. “Well, I have to get some shuteye, Emily. Thanks for the dance.”
“Anytime, sexy thang. I will always have a dance for you, and if you ever want to ...” Emily smiled, blushed, and winked at Daniel.
He was getting more turned off by the second. Emily’s bleached-out hair, heavy makeup, and raunchy perfume was getting to him. He couldn’t wait to get away from this woman. All he wanted to do was confront Katherine. He had accomplished making her feel upset, probably jealous. But he wasn’t feeling good about it at all now. He drove around for a while, trying to calm down and get the visual of Katherine in someone else’s embrace out of his head. It didn't work.
Pulling into the driveway, he spotted Rosie walking over to him.
“John, could you come in and change a bulb for me? It’s too dark to go haul the ladder in here, and I can’t reach it even on a chair.”
“Sure, Rosie.” Daniel climbed out of the truck and headed toward the house.
Rosie spotted his mood quickly. “John, what’s gotten under your hat this evening?”
“Nothing, Rosie, I’m okay.”
Rosie shook her head in disbelief and walked with Daniel to the house. He quickly changed the bulb and silently walked out of the house to the barn.
The horses gave him their ‘soft talk’, as Rosie called it, when he entered the barn. He stopped to give them both some attention. At the moment, they were his two favorite females. They didn’t talk. They didn’t use him. They didn’t play any games. “ Since when am I, Daniel Giordano, not good enough ?” He went inside of his room and lay down on the bed. He wished he could just shut off his thoughts. He could still picture Katherine in the arms of another guy. She was in my arms last night! A Corvette . Really ?? Daniel began to question himself further. Without money and a flashy lifestyle, do I not have anything to offer?
The longer Daniel lay there thinking, the more pissed he became. He walked out to his truck, climbed in the sputtering machine, and headed over to the bar. He wasn’t finished telling Katherine exactly what he was thinking. Hopefully a good fight with her would make him want to throw her far out of his mind, or bring her to her senses. His insides were hoping for the latter.
Blond Guy’s Corvette was sitting in the parking lot. Damn! Daniel walked right in the front door of the bar with his fists clenched at his sides. There she was, standing at the bar, with a beer in her hand. Blond Guy’s arm was around her. She was laughing and smiling.
Katherine felt someone’s presence behind her. She turned her head and saw John about six feet away.
“I’m going to go upstairs. Are you coming?” She said to Blond Guy.
“Yep, I’m just going to finish this beer, then I’ll be up.”
Katherine smiled, kissed his cheek, and left the bar.
Daniel went right behind her.
“Why are you following me, John?”
“Katherine, what are you doing? You were in my arms last night and now you’re in his ? Are you really like this? Was I completely wrong about you?”
“John, you have the wrong idea…”
“The HELL I do!” Daniel yelled just as Blond Guy grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around.
“I thought we straightened out your ignorant behavior,” said Blond Guy as he drew back his fist.
Daniel had enough. He blocked the punch and hit the poor bastard right in the face. “There you go, Katherine. He’s already lying down for you and everything. Sorry if he can’t kiss you for a couple of days.”
“ Oh my God ! Jacob!”
“Jacob…yeah, you have fun with Jacob. Just remember one thing, Katherine, I could have made you a very happy woman.”
With that, Daniel stepped over Jacob’s sprawled out body and climbed in the
