Ben And Meg In The Wild West
Chapter 13
A knock on the door got Ben´s attention.
" Come in!" he yelled from behind his desk in his office.
Meg opened the door. " Is this a bad time? I can return later?" she asked.
Ben´s face lit up and he rose from his seat. " Of course not! Do come in"
She steeped in and Ben closed the door behind her.

Maria saw Meg disappear into Ben´s office. She knew why she was there. Maria had gotten the one of the boys in the kitchen in the Deschanel resident too talk. It had cost her a free night but it was worth it. He had told her that A.J had found Mr Evans in Miss-high-and-mighty´s bedroom- almost naked. A.J had then woke up the whole house by shouting. After a few minutes Bette had gotten to the bedroom and she could at least stop A.J to threatening to kill Ben. Maria smiled. It was disgusting to think of Ben together with that rich I-own-the-world-slut, but it was perfect. That meant that she trusted Ben. And that card was the one Maria would play. The longer the fall- the harder the impacted!

Ben pulled away from their passionate kiss. He had been all over her the second the door closed behind her. She smiled and run her hands over his chest.
" Well, you are here. It most means that A.J is not coming to hunt me down?" he asked with a grin.
" He might…when he is able to locate the key to the cabinet where he keeps his guns!" she ginned back.
He took her hand and guided her to a sofa and they sat down.
" Why does something tell me that Bette is behind that one?" he said.
" Maybe, because she is. She told me!" Meg laught.
" She knew about us, didn’t she?" he said and draw her closer to him.
She moved and sat down on his lap. She put her arm around him and played with the soft hair on the back of his neck.
" Yes, she knew…she told Mary to hind the key" she said.
" Why am I not supriced?" he laught . " I am realy glad she came when she did last night. I thought A.J would kill me on the spot and chop me into little pieces"
" …and served you as stew? He would probably make me the encore!" she said.
" You? Never!" he said and tightening his hold around her. " You are his little princess"
Meg´s head popped up from it´s place on his shoulder. " Exactly!!"
" What?" he looked at her while she climbed out of his lap.
" He always do that!" she said and started to pace around the room.
" What am I missing here?" he looked confused.
" He calls me "young lady", "child" or "little princess"! I’m twenty-one for haven sake!!" she sounded angry. "Not even my father calls me that"
" Well, you are still very young, Meg" he said and looked at her.
She stopped pacing and looked at him. " Do you think so too?" she almost whispered.
He looked down on his shoes. A part of his was screaming YES, but his heart did not side with that. He looked up again and meet her big questioning eyes.
" I’m not going to say that I don´t think that you are too young, because I do…" he started.
Meg´s eyes began to tear up.
" …but you don´t choose who you are going to fall in love with!" he finished.
She smiled and he walked up to her and took her into his arms.
" After I meet you…sorry…smashed into you… on the station, I thought you where a young officer wife here to meet her husband" he said in a low voice. She smiled against his chest.
" I pumped Aunt Bette on information about you" she said. " I totally forgot my manners"
"Well, shame on you, Miss Cummings" he laught as he claimed her lips …

" Oh, please darling! Have a seat, you are making tracks in my Asian carpet!!" Bette growled at her husband.
A.J shot her a look and plopped down in a nearby chair. Bette continued with her knitting.
" Why did´t you tell me??" he shouted at her.
Bette looked up briefly at A.J. " And what should I have told you, dear?"
" How about the truth?!" A.J said.
" What has she done that is so terribly wrong?" Bette said and put the knitting aside.
" Wrong? Wrong!!! Do I have to remind you how we found them???!!" he shouted.
" Yes, in their birth suit, I know!" Bette said. " And the whole house knows that too, dear!"
" Wouldn’t you be choked to find the young lady you are chaperon for and your best friend….together…naked!!!" he shouted.
" Technically, Ben was not naked, he still had his pants on…" Bette started.
" Elizabeth!!!" A.J warned.
Bette sighed. " A.J, dear don´t make a chicken out of a feather!"
" Oh, don´t chicken me, Elizabeth! I´ll never forget this!!" he yelled.
" And nether will they.." Bette mumbled under her breath. She continued:
"Look, dear. I don´t know how serious this love thing is, it could just be a test drive!"
A.J starred at Bette. " She is not buying a bloody horse or carriage!!!"
" You know what I mean!" she walked up to him and put her hands on his chest.
" Do I have to remind you about the time by the lake. You my dear, was twenty-one and I was just eighteen!" she whispered into his ear and nibbled carefully on his earlobe.
" Are you saying you considered that a test drive?" his hands went around her waist.
" Of cores! I had to see what kind of gods I was getting!" she cooed into his ear.
" Oh, you crazy woman…" he kissed her hard.
She broke the kiss and planted her hands on his chest to create space.
" Seriously now, dear! Do you realy see any harm in them together?" she asked.
A.J thought for a moment before shaking his head.
"No, I guess I just got the biggest suprice of my life when I opened that door" he grinned.
" I bet!" she laught.
" We only have one problem…" he said.
They both said together: "Hank"
" I think we should get Joanna down here first, before she let the beast lose" Bette said.
" Yes, other wise Springfield will be one big war zone" he laught.
" I´ll wire her tomorrow" she said and kissed her husband.
" Tomorrow? Why not now?" he tried to speak around her mouth.
" Tell me, dear. Did you realy dislike the test drive?" she grinned wickedly.
A.J froze " Yes, why?"
Her hands traveled down his back to his buttstocks and pressed him closed to her.
He joined her wickedly grin. " Au Contraire…"
He swept her of her feet and made his way up the stares to their bedroom. Mary came out of one of the staff doors in time to see Mr and Mrs Deschanel. She smiled and shook her head…
