Second Chances and Open Skies Redo

The next morning, the girls woke to Ben singing very loudly downstairs in the kitchen. The only reason they didn't murder him was because he'd made pancakes, eggs and bacon.

"You. No singing." Chris grumbled as she walked in, "I need coffee."

Ben smirked, "Just shut up. It's over there."

She quickly made a cup. "I met a boy last night..."

"Oooo. WHO?" Jade grinned.

"His name was Luke. He runs some farm north of here. You know him?" Chris asked.

Jade nodded as she sipped coffee, "He's very sweet. Not much of a relationship guy but he doesn't just fuck around."

"hmm maybe I'll let him take me out." She thought aloud.

Jade smiled, "He is a very selfless man. He only cares about others."

"Sounds like the opposite of all your boyfriends, sis." Ben laughed.

Chris nodded, "Very true."

Jade smiled over at Ben, "So...do you wanna catch lunch with me?"

"Sure." He smiled.

"What am I supposed to do all day?" Chris whined.

"Call Luke!"

Chris rolled her eyes, "Don't wanna seem desperate."

Jade smirked, "Well, luckily for you, he's at the door."

"What?!" Chris exclaimed. "I look like SHIT!"

"I will stall. I need to meet him." Ben volunteered.

"NO." But Chris failed to stop him.

Ben pulled the door open and grinned, "I'm Ben. You're Luke. Let's take a walk." Ben led Luke outside towards the barn.

"Oh no..I wonder what he's saying." Chris mumbled to Jade, watching from the window.

"So here's the deal, Luke. I know I'm a city boy and probably don't seem that tough to you but I'm going to be honest. If you hurt my sister in any way, I mean you so much as give her a look she doesn't like, I swear to god you're a dead man." Ben said seriously, "I mean let's be real I'm a little too pretty to do the roughing up but I only have to make one phone call."

Jade laughed, "They typical 'If you hurt my sister' speech."

&^&

Luke nodded, "I wouldn't dream of hurting her."

"I wonder what Ben's version of that is." Chris laughed.

"Probably a hilarious one." Jade smiled.

*&*

"Right well you better not." Ben said sternly.

"Cross my heart." Luke smiled.

"Maybe you should be getting ready." Jade hinted.

&%^

Ben smiled, "Now, let's go play some pool while we wait."

"Oh right." Chris ran upstairs, "How am I supposed to get ready when I don't even know why he's here?" She yelled down.

"Just put jeans on!" Jade laughed.

"Right...Country ass people." Chris replied. Jade laughed heartily.

After a few minutes Chris came downstairs to find the other three in the kitchen.

"Morning Luke." She smiled.

He grinned at her, "Sorry to surprise you. But I wanted to come over."
