A Cowboy In Love
Chapter 1

A wonderful dinner, Jorge. Frederic Dixson, the owner of one of the most prestigious and important banks in Atlanta,exclaimed loudly.“The dinners you organize on Saturdays are wonderful, Emily.Megan carefully observed the man who flattered her parents with such enthusiasm, he was a gentleman of about sixtyyears old, quite preserved for his age, however he was overweight. His mustache and hair were as white as snow, he alwawore a suit to every dinner party Emily hosted. Or well, most of the times Megan had to be present at the meals herparents prepared for their guests, in which Mr. Dixon was one of the most frequent guests her parents had.Mr. Dixon, like every other Saturday, showed up on time with his only son Gerald, who, to Megan's regret, both families trito match them at all costs, but she was not willing to succumb to her father's willNot that Gerald was a bad match, but he wasn't the kind of man she expected for herself. He was handsome she couldn'tdeny it, blond with blue eyes, elegant bearing and to many other women he was very rich, but to Megan he was justanother spoiled daddy's boy who with the snap of his fingers got everything he wanted.He for his part tried to be sociable with her, but he only talked about boring and unattractive topics to her ears, golf andhis father's bank were not conversations that a woman would feel any emotion from, he was an attractive but boring marShe was tired of standing there acting as if it was all normal to her, everything they said was meaningless, just superficialwords, bragging about who had more goods or money.~You want to show a better face, daughter, please. Her mother whispered in her ear showing a radiant smile to her guestsThis is my best face mother!Behave yourself my dear. The woman's disapproving look was more than clear.-Of course as you say! She answered smiling to those present.-Oh, Jorge! Your daughter is getting prettier every day, just like her mother.The banker blushed. With his big cheekbones, which made his eyes smaller.Frederic, please. Megan's mother answered embarrassed.-By the way Gerald, you should ask Megan out. I don't know, maybe take her to see one of your golf games so you can sheher how good you are. Jorge encouraged the boy.“That's right son, why haven't you invited her yet? Don't be embarrassed boy, Jorge and Emily give you their consent.it seemed like she was painted on the wall, her opinion didn't count. What could they know if she wanted to go out withGerald or not. The last thing she wanted was to have to accompany that boy to his boring games and the worst thing washave to mix with his friends who were not friendly at all, as they were usually the kind of people that if you were not intheir social circle you would not be welcome and Megan hated that.It seemed as if she was painted on the wall, she didn't know their opinion. What could they know if she wanted to go wittGereld or not. The last thing she wanted to do was to have that boy's company in her dull and dull games and the worstthing was to have to mix with her friends who were not very friendly, they are usually the kind of people that if you are nin their social circle you won't be welcome and Megen hated that.“Ill be damned if I'm going to hurt him! 1 turn and look at the blond and his side. -Megen, I apologize for not taking youinto account and not inviting you to watch my games, this Thursday I have an important game and I would love for you tojoin me, what do you say?He would rather say “No” to the superficial man, but for his sake and for not having any more problems with his stones hhad to accept the same proposal and attend the tedious game, of course.-'m sure it will be a lot of fun, Gereld. Giving her one of her common forced smiles, she hated to be a hypocrite but it wabetter to have to argue with her parents for wanting to make her own decisions.-FenFantastic, I'll pick you up at the end of the day, I promise you won't get bored.I was bored just thinking about spending an afternoon at that club watching him play golf.-All right, no hey probleme Gereld! I'll be damned if you're going to get a flat tire, fenteseo.-And that's it, and that way you two will get to know each other much better. Gereld's father was very happy because hisson was going to go with the daughter of a very well educated and well-female merchant.At the end of the dinner, Mr. Dixon and his son were satisfied, the parents of Megen were also satisfied, believing that theonly son was really happy with the decisions they made for him. But what they didn't see was that she was choking withthe way they controlled her video, couldn't have a say in it, and couldn't make her own decisions. Her video was an error.He said, “Son, your mother and I have something to tell you. Sitting in the ester room after the Dixons retired and yourmother would like you to have tea before retiring from your duties.“Yes, my dear, your father and 1 will 0 up to London for your mother’s sake, and as always you will go with us. So go up atell Melise to help you get started, and don't worry we'll be back in time for you to be there but your appointment withGereld, so men can't leave him alone, son, remember him well.She looked like she was painted on the wall, her opinion didn't count. What could they know if she wanted to go out withGerald or not. The last thing she wanted was to have to accompany that boy to his boring games and the worst thing washave to mix with his friends who were not friendly at all, as they were usually the type of people that if you were not intheir social circle you would not be welcome and Megan hated that.-Of course I will, father! He turned to look at the blonde next to him. -Megan I apologize for not taking you into account anot inviting you to watch my games, this Thursday I have an important game and I would love for you to join me, what doyou say?She would love nothing more than to say “No” to that superficial man, but for her sake and in order not to have moreproblems with her parents, she had to accept that proposal and attend the tedious game, of course.Sure, I'm sure it will be a lot of fun, Gerald. Giving him one of her so common forced smiles, she hated being a hypocritebut it was better than having to argue with her parents for wanting to make her own decisions.-FanFantastic, I'll pick you up in the afternoon, I promise you won't be bored.She was already bored just thinking about spending an afternoon at that club watching him play golf.-All right, no problem, Gerald! I'll give you a flat tire, I fantasize.That's it, and that way you two will get to know each other much better. Gerald's father exclaimed, very happy because hson was going out with the daughter of a very wealthy banker from a good family.After dinner, Mr. Dixon and his son left satisfied, Megan's parents were also believing that their only daughter was reallyhappy with the decisions they were making for her. But what they didn't see was that she was drowning in the way theycontrolled her life, she had no say in anything, no say in her own decisions. Her life was in chaos.-Daughter, your mother and 1 have something to inform you. Sitting in the living room after the Dixons retired, her motheliked them to have tea before retiring to their rooms.Yes my dear, your father and I will be travelling for London tomorrow morning, and as usual, you will be going with us.g0 upstairs and ask Melissa to help you pack, and don't worry we'll be back in time for you to be here for your date withGerald, men like that can't be stood up daughter, remember that.She was fed up with her parents’ impositions, they couldn't ask if she wanted to go on this trip.“Why do they want me to go on this trip, mother?“Your father has an important meeting so we must go with him, you know that.-I'm not going on that trip! She answered sharply.“What are you saying? Of course you're going, we've always taken these trips as a family, Megan. exclaimed her father.-I'm not going, father. Excuse me, but I will not accompany you.“Whether you like it or not, you will accompany us.I'm not a child anymore father! I am a woman who wants to make her own decisions. I yell at her.Lower the tone of your voice Megan Elizabeth, remember I am your father and you live in my house.Well, if 1 have to leave here to make my own decisions, I will! I'm sick and tired of you controlling everything in my life.You're not leaving here, we only want what's best for you. Do you want to make another bad decision? Like the one youmade five years ago? Her father challenged her.Those words hurt her deeply, and even more from the person they came from. Her own blood was attacking her.Dear, please don't need to remember the past.“Why, mother, are you ashamed to remember what your daughter did?-Of course I am! Do you think that's what I wanted for you?How can you talk to me like that? You have no feelings whatsoever, you two have no idea what I feel. I want to leave, to tindependent, to make my own life on my own.“Never! Do you understand? -That won't happen. You'll marry Gerald, he'll give you the good life you have and that's it.-1 don’t love him! I won't marry someone I don’t love!She couldn't understand her parents, they wanted to force her to do things she didn’t want to do regardless of her feelingor opinions.You willt And as for the trip, only your mother and I will go. I hope this time away will help you reflect on your rudebehavior.“1 will not marry him. I will marry the man of my choice, so go tell Mr. Dixon that the wedding is off!Daughter please we are doing this for your sake, we love you, we only wish for your well being.“I love you too, and for that reason I tell you that I will not marry a man just because of his last name and social positionShe ran up the stairs to her bedroom, on the verge of tears and furious with her parents. She slammed the door and thatwas the end of the conversation.
