Country Love Story

Chapter 11 Song Lyrics and Surpise Visits

FAITH POV:

I got my guitar out and started to strum to see if everything is in pitch.
I told Tim to look away because I don't like people that know me so well staring at me when I play.
He did what I said. I began the song,
~Take Me As I Am~
Baby, don't turn out the light
I want to see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
Not just promises an empty fantasies...

"That's the end of the song." I said then looked down
"That was amazing, anyone who says it's less is stupid." He said.
That made me smile, maybe he's right.

I played a couple more songs, every time I finished it felt like another piece of my heart was coming back about starting a career. Everyone tells me that I can't make it, I finally lost hope. I believe I can do it, especially if Tim is on my side!
I finally finished my 3 songs. I then told Tim that he could turn around. He had a smile on his face and said
"I feel like I'm on the Voice, that was amazing, when did you start writing?"
"Well, I started the first song when I was about 13 and a half." I said
"When did you finish the last song you played?" He asked me
"I finished it about 3 weeks ago." I said
"So you were still writing the last one when you moved here?" He asked
"Yeah, I didn't want to just leave it there."
By now it's about 5:00, so we are going to sit in the oak tree until we go to the karaoke bar. I wonder how good Tim can sing, maybe I have to teach him, ha. As we were walking to the tree, we ran into my grandmother.
"Hey darling, where are you guys heading?" He asked
"You know that big oak tree next to the playground?" I asked
"Oh yea, well I have to get home to put away the groceries. Have a nice evening" she said then smiled and walked away.
Right when we turned the corner we looked at each other and we knew what we were thinking. Then we yelled "Race you!" We started to run as fast as we could. Tim was catching up to me, but I still won. We laughed and took a breathe then climbed into the tree.
"I got you something, just to say thanks for making my trip a lot more fun." Tim said then took something out of his pocket.
"Awe thanks, you make everything fun!" I said then opened up a little box.
"Oh My Gosh, thank you so much! I love it." I told him, then gave a him kiss. I then turned around for him to put on the neckless he got. It had a blue little diamond on it and baby crystal beads around it.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" I asked him then grabbed his hand
"No, I don't think so, ha I love you so much!" He said, then we just sat there listening to some music from my phone.
Time went so fast that when I looked at the time, it was already 5:40.
We jumped down and put our shoes back on. We walked hand in hand to my house to get ready to go to the bar.
When I got home safely, Tim went home and got ready.

~20 minutes later~

I called Tim to see if he was ready to leave. I'm really nervous but anxious too, because if I want my career to start, I'll have to get used to singing with a crowd. I heard the door bell ring, then I ran down the stairs and opened the door expecting to see Tim.
When I opened it, I was surprised to see who it was. "Hey, I thought you'd be here" he said
"What do you want?" I asked Joshua rudely
"If you are going to play hard, then fine." He said then hit me in the face and then left.
It hurts pretty bad, I don't think that it will show any bruises though, just a little pink. I didn't know what just happened. I was sort of scared.
Then I saw Tim knock on the door. I answered it calmly. Right when I opened the door, Tim could notice that something was wrong. I sometimes hate that he can read me like a book.
"Hey, you look a little different from 20 minutes ago." He said curiously
"I just put a little more blush on" I said to try to change the subject
"I know that something is wrong, but if you don't want to tell me then fine." He said
"Well, here's the thing, Joshua came here a little earlier. I thought that it was you, so I answered it. I asked him what he wanted, I guess rudely then he hit me. But don't worry he left." I mumbled
"That jerk! He will pay." Tim said really angry.
He then turned around and faced his back to me.
"Calm down, it's over with." I said trying to calm him down.
I rubbed his arm, and kissed his neck.
He turned back around and told me that he was sorry for freaking out. I told him that we should be heading to the place.
We got in his truck and put on the radio. A George Strait song came on, Check Yes Or No. This was always one of my favorite songs by him. I started to sing it. I got so into the song, I then saw Tim looking at me and smiling.
"What? I love singing!" I said then laughed.
"Oh believe me I know." He said
We got in line to the place. It was the Black Jack Brew. There were a lot of people with cowboy boots on and flannel shirts. We got a stamp on our hand by one of the desk people, which shows that we can't have alcohol. We asked the DJ if we could sing next. I didn't know what song I wanted to sing so I asked Tim. He told me that we should sing "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not?" By Thompson Square
I thought that it was perfect. When I got up there I recognized a face immediately. Why is he here? I was thinking in my mind. He better walk away, before he does anything stupid, to get him arrested. I think Tim could notice that I was worrying, so he asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was fine. We then started to sing the song....
