✴️Everything Changed At 21 (Luke Bryan fic)

Closer to Knockin Boots

The bathroom door opened on the tour bus with my best friend groaning and flopping down on the couch beside me. Carter was overjoyed at the news of her being pregnant with his child. Closing my laptop I was pretty proud of myself at finishing the book before the concert tonight. I had already called a publisher that would put it out in the next few weeks so I was almost bouncing off the walls. "So when are you going to tell your parents about the baby?"

She wrapped her arms around herself throwing her head back on the couch. "I was thinking in a few weeks. When the boys can get a week. Since I would hate to make Carter leave his paying job earlier."

Nodding my head the back door opened for Luke to enter the room sitting down across the room from us. "Chloe I just talked with my manager and she agreed that if something unexpected happened while we're on tour. Carter and you could go and he would still get payed." She gasped with happy tears towards him.

"Luke thank you. But are you sure about that - I have to repay you somehow." Resting my hand I intertwined her hands in mine. Luke intertwined his hands in front of him. The door opened with Carter sitting down the box carrying the tickets on the table in the middle of the room.

"Chloe the doctor called and said we have an appointment in an hour. So we should be back in time for the concert."

She nodded before I jump up to my feet pulling her with me. "I'll go with you."

Luke gets to his feet too resting a hand on Carter's back. "Me too."

Chloe and Carter both shared the look of disapproval that we didn't have to go with them. "Really you guys don't have to go. Luke you have the show tonight. I wouldn't want to make you late-"

He raised his hand motioning for us to follow him outside to a big black truck waiting outside the bus. "Nonsense. We'll have plenty of time."

The drive to the doctor didn't take long since he was preforming in San Diego. Carter helped my best friend inside and the doctor seemed nice. Luke and I sit in the waiting room until the nurse came out of the room waving us inside. Closing the door Chloe grabbed my hand holding it over her stomach. "Y/n, you're my best friend and somebody I consider to be a sister so I want you and Luke to be the godparents to our child."

Leaning down I wrapped her in a hug while Luke and Carter hugged each other smiling. "I will do my best to look out for your child Chlo." She nodded listening to the doctor after saying that she was only 3 weeks pregnant and that everything seems normal so far so we were out of the office two hours before the concert tonight. Chloe wears a light blue dress with some boots. I changed into a white dress, my boots with my hair curled a little on the ends. Chloe and I decided to stay backstage tonight instead of being in the front row of the pit in case she got sick and needed the bathroom.

Luke wrapped his arms around me quickly giving me a kiss on the cheek then stealing his ball cap I was wearing. He puts it on backwards heading on stage not before sending me a wink. He opened the night with Rollar Coster that got the crowd roaring. Then did Country Girl since it was one of his biggest hits that everyone knew. He dances around the stage where I saw Carter grabbing one of the guitars from the wall. He hands it to Luke from beside the stage. "So for the closing tonight I thought I'd share it with ya'll. Enjoy." Luke slowly started playing the light orange guitar sitting on a barstool in the middle of the stage. "This truck needs a half tank. These wheels need a two-lane. This radio needs three songs to play. To get me across town to you. That dress needs to slip off. That hair needs to come down. Friday nights need to do. What Friday nights need to do. That's the truth. Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey. Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me. Fishing in the dark needs Nitty Gritty. Under that pale moon."

"Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring. Small town nights need both ends burning. Shades need drawing, hearts need falling. Boots need knockin'. Knockin' boots.
Knockin' boots. Me and you. Long weeks need a weekend. Cheap drinks need a-slinging. That dance floor needs some me on you. And you want me tonight. Sing-a-longs need to be sung. Tip bells need to be rung. Last calls needa call that cab. And backseats need I want you so bad." Luke sang with everyone in the crowd swaying their hips. Chloe and I intertwined hands dancing around to the new song. "Yeah, birds need bees and ice needs whiskey. Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me. Fishing in the dark needs Nitty Gritty. Under that pale moon. Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring. Small town nights need both ends burning. Shades need drawing, hearts need falling. Boots need knockin'. Knockin' boots. Knockin' boots. Girl me and you. Doors need shutting. Lights need cutting. Lips need locking, Boots need knockin'."

Carter twirled my best friend out of my arms and into his. The pair started smiling and laughing through the song. Spinning around in my boots my hair flying around the room I leaned into the wall getting a view of Luke playing. "And birds need bees and ice needs whiskey. Boys like me need the girls like you to kiss me. Fishing in the dark needs Nitty Gritty. Under that pale moon. Sweet tea needs that sugar stirring.
Small town nights need both ends burnin'. Shades need drawing, hearts need falling.
Boots need knockin'. Knockin' boots. Mmm, knockin' boots. Me and you, oh. Knockin' boots." He raised his hands in the air telling the crowd goodnight before rushing backstage to me.

Carter helped him with the guitar before I am lifted off the ground squealing like crazy. "Ah Luke. Woah put me down you silly country boy!" He sits me down suddenly crashing his lips onto mine. I gasped feeling one of his hands twisting my hair. Wrapping my arms around his neck I kissed back feeling him pull me against his chest hoping to deepen it but I broke it blushing deeply. "Slow your role Lukey. We ain't knockin boots just yet."

He kisses my forehead smirking down at me still pressing up to his chest. "It's gonna be me and you soon enough Y/n."
