Sleeping Beauty and Prince Cowboy

Once upon a time, there was a sophomore girl named Jennifer. She had this class called Tech Lit. It was your basic computer class. The girl lived her life as an emotional hopeless romantic. She wished everyday to fall in love. That very day she sat down next to a boy. She heard about this boy before. Her friends all tried to set her up with this boy. Her friends dated his friend. She only heard him in stories. All good things.


As each day went on, they shared class assignments and got lost in their own world filled of laughter. They started hanging out more and more at lunch. It was one day, when they were hanging out with his friends that one of them asked if they were dating. The girl replied a quick no as Leo nodded his head behind Jennifer. After lunch, Jennifer and Leo walked in the hallway. He turned to face Jennifer. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He proclaimed. "Sure..." Jennifer replied. "Sure? What does that even mean?!" He asked. "Yes, then." She answered.

Jennifer's next class was Math. It was where Hell took place. The devil himself as a classmate. Ryan Hubbs is what he called himself. His high sex appeal drew her in. His words melted her. She could've died if he wanted that, but he didn't want her for that. He wanted to trick and deceive her. He pulled her in to let her watch her world crumble around her. Two days later, she broke up with Leo, and fell for the devil's quest.

A week is all he needed to crush poor Jennifer's heart. He ran off with her affection and her untouched lips. She never heard from Leo again.

Three years later, Jennifer is sitting up in here room looking through her old journals. She comes across Leo's phone number and gets the the nerve to text it. It was about one in the morning, so she didn't expect a text back from the number that night. She went to bed full of wonder and memories as she drifted off to sleep. When morning sunshine peeked through her blinds, her eyes opened. Her ritual routine was to automatically check her phone for missed texts. To her surprise, the number texted her back confirming it was Leo and asked who it was. They immediately hit it off, getting to know each other all over again.

He invited her over to hang out at his place on the upcoming Saturday. As she drove over to his house, she got nervous with each block. When she turned onto his road, she called him up to make sure she didn't pass it. While she was talking to him, she passed his house and he told her to reverse up the whole block to his house. Which made her more nervous to drive backwards up the street, but she managed. Once she got to his house, he greeted her at her door with a giant hug. He looked the same as of three years ago. The first thing she noticed was his cowboy attire. He was everything she ever imagined. He was something different. He wore tight wranglers, worker's boots, a red flannel, and topped off with a cameo hat. He brought her around the bonfire and introduced his friends to me. There was four others. His friend, Tyler, remembered me from the past and told me how different I looked in a good way. He was way past drunk as he danced around the flames to the country music from the radio. Leo and Jennifer sat and stared at the fire, too shy to speak. He looked up at her smiling face and asked if she was bored yet. She shook her head and said it was better than being stuck at home. He smiled back.
About a half hour passed by. Leo stood up and said "Let me give you a tour of the house." She followed him into the dark garage into the house. He took her straight up the stairs to his room. That's when he looked back at her, and she caught the glisten in his green eyes. She always thought that his eyes were brown, but at that moment she grew more attraction to him. She almost buckled her knees to the discovery. He pulled her from the hallway into his arms to his room. He slid his arms around her and went in for a kiss. They backed up and he gently lowered to the bed. The grace blew her away. Everything about Leo was mind-boggling. His style, his voice, his eyes, and his hospitality. Laying there with him, made her feel so safe. It was probably his bulging biceps and his wash-board abs that made her feel that way. She already felt so comfortable while they laid and shared past memories. She never wanted the night to end. She attacked him with kisses, and he held her so tight.

The clock was about to strike midnight, and we all know what happens when it strikes midnight. Leo took her by the hand and led her out to her car. They held each other for the last time and ended it with a passionate kiss. "Take care, now." The soothing country voice was music to her ears. She hardly could get into her car, her knees melted so much. She drove off smiling.
