Saving You (Love Wanted In Texas Book 2) Read Online Free PDF Page A

come and talk to you, Lib.”
    I licked my lips on impulse. “Talk to me about what?” A part of me was hoping he would finally just admit the feelings he had for me. If only he remembered telling me that he loved me.
    Luke shrugged his shoulders. “Maybe I should follow you back. Make sure you get there okay.”
    I lifted my chin and stood up taller. “I’m perfectly fine getting there on my own. I’m not a child.”
    Luke’s eyes moved down my body slowly. I was wearing black skinny jeans, my favorite pair of cowboy boots, and a teal blouse that made my eyes bluer than normal. When his eyes finally found mine, he whispered, “I know.”
    Swallowing hard, I looked away as I cleared my throat. “I don’t need you to watch over me like I’m some little girl who can’t take care of herself.” I began to walk past him as he pushed off the hood of my car and followed me. Opening the driver’s side door, I spun back around and looked at him. I was ready to lay into him and tell him how dare he come here and try to pretend like everything is okay. I didn’t need him. I didn’t even want to look at him.
    When I looked into his eyes, he smiled and I was rendered speechless. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. Luke reached up and took a piece of my hair and pushed it behind my ear. “You’re eyes look beautiful with this color shirt on, Lib.”
    I stood there like an idiot before I finally managed to say something. “Thank you.”
    “Let me follow you back. Please, Lib. It will make me feel better and I’m sure your parents would feel better as well.”
    I was Jell-O in his hands. I always had been. I’d never forget the time he talked me into jumping out of the second-story barn window because he was convinced I could land on to the hay pile. I missed it by five feet and ended up breaking my ankle. Then there was the time he talked me into putting the frog under Grace’s pillow. He said she loved the frog and would be so happy to know he was sleeping under her pillow safe and warm. Grace still brings it up to this day how she was in a dead sleep and slipped her hand under her pillow only to be woken up from touching something slimy. She flew up out of bed so fast that she tripped over her backpack and hit the corner of her eye on her desk. She walked around with a black eye for two weeks.
    I pulled in a deep breath through my nostrils. Big mistake. His cologne filled my senses. I shook my head in an attempt to clear my thoughts. Luke Johnson was not going to have that kind of control over me anymore.
    “Libby, honey. Are y’all ready to take off?” my mother called from the front porch. I opened my mouth and forced the words out.
    “Yes. I’m ready to head out.”
    Luke winked and turned to my parents as he flashed them that stupid smile of his.
    “I was just telling Lib I should probably follow her. Just to be safe. I’d hate to think what would happen if she got a flat tire or something.” Oh. My. God. I wanted to punch him in the stomach.
    “I think that’s a great idea,” my father said as he walked to us. I did a double-take as I looked at my father, then my mother.
    “What? No. I don’t need a babysitter, I’ll be perfectly …”
    My father walked up and slapped Luke on the back. “Nonsense, Libby. Luke is right. You’re both going the same way; I either want you to follow him, or he follows you.”
    I quickly came up with a plan. I’d follow Luke and go so slow he would eventually pull away and we’d lose each other. I was about to agree when Luke glanced back at me. “I’ll follow Libby, Josh. I wouldn’t want to lose sight of her if I pulled away.”
    Bastard. I pushed past him causing him to stumble. He let out a chuckle, which pissed me off even more. I walked up to my mother and hugged her. “I love you so much, Mom.”
    Giving me a gentle smile, my mother whispered, “I love you too, Libby.”
    Smiling weakly, I turned to my father. “I really don’t need him to follow
