Spin You Around

Part 1

Paisleys POV

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm here in my Los Angeles apartment reading a book when I hear banging at my door. I check the peephole and see my Bestfriend Allie. She's sobbing with her makeup done and her cowgirl hat on. Allie has been going on and on about this damn concert since she bought her tickets 10 months ago. She and her boyfriend Kyle are supposed to go to the concert tonight so why is she at my door? I open the door and before I could even ask what was wrong she immediately says "Kyle cheated on me" I'm in shock I never thought he would do such a thing. They had such a good relationship I reply "I'm so sorry Allie are you okay? Do you need anything?" She wipes her tears and says "come with me"
"Where?" I say knowing damn well she wants me to go with her tonight. I love my friend but I don't think I could muster up the courage to do it.
"To the concert tonight, I need to not think about Kyle tonight and I've been looking forward to this concert for months so please come with me" she says as tears roll down her face. Damnit Allie I can't believe your making me do this.
"Fine" I say regretting the words that just came out of my mouth.
My hair was already curled from work earlier so I just threw on a plain white shirt and jeans. I come walking down the stairs when Allie looks up at me with disappointment in her eyes
"I know you don't wanna come but can you at least ask like you care" she says pointing to my outfit
" I do care" I say with as much effort as I can
"Then let's go pick you out something that shows that" I sit on my bed as Allie shuffles through my clothes she reaches into the back on my closet and my heart nearly falls out of ny chest when she pulls out my white flowy dress. "This will be perfect" she says throwing the dress in my direction. This dress is more than just a dress it's the dress I thought I threw out before I moved to LA. It's the dress I wore for mine and Morgan's first date. I can't wait wear this dress. Especially not to his concert. I have never told Allie about Morgan and my past. She is a huge fan of him and if I ever told her the whole story she would wanna know everything and I'm in a place in my life that I'm finally moved on from him and opening up the past would only bring hurt. I grab the dress and throw it back at Allie "no" I say.
"It's a beautiful dress Paisley what is wrong with it!" She says getting mad at me "fine I'll wear it I say dreading the decisions I'm making because she's my best friend. "Oh and wear theses, they are so cute "she says handing me the last cowgirl boots I own.
I put on the outfit and we head out the door. It took us about 45 minutes to get to the stadium where Morgan is performing. Before we get out of the car Allie turns to me and goes "why do you hate Morgan Wallen anyway"
I stare out my window "I don't hate him Allie... I guess his music isn't my thing anymore."
"Anymore?" She says with a confused look on her face
"I used to love... his music but I guess I'm just not a huge fan. But that doesn't matter because I'm here for you tonight and I always have fun with you" I say with a sincere grin.
We get to the stadium and I follow Allie and get confused when she goes the opposite way of the seating areas. "Where are we going Allie? The seating is that way" I say confused
" you think I would get regular seats for my favorite artist?! I had to get out on the floor" she says pulling me directly in front of the stage. This is gonna be a long night. At least there's gonna be lots of people here and hopefully he won't see me.
We stand there for about 2 hours watching opening acts before the lights go dim and he flashes on the screen doing his famous walk in. In that moment I forgot just how hot he really is. I swallow the lump in my throat and Allie looks over at me "I know right! He's so hot". If only she knew, I think looking back on the screen. Pretty soon he enters on stage and I'm instantly drawn into his music. He always had a way with words and his voice was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. He does a couple songs facing the sides of the stage. He's at the end of his third song "thinking bout me" when he makes it to the front of the stage he looks around and sings. Until finally we lock eyes. His eyes seem hopeful and he mouths paisley and continues to sing the last verse of the song
"Makin you crazy baby, tell me,
Are you thinkin bout me
Yeah, are you thinkin bout me?"
He looks me right in the eye and smirks
"Are you thinkin bout me?"
My cheeks go flushed and Allie grabs my arm "did you see that! he was looking right at you, while he sang that last verse!" She says excitedly
"It was nothing he was probably staring at.."
Before I could finish my sentence he runs and shakes his hands at his band to stop the next song. Oh boy what is this man doing. After 3 seconds of nods and stares he throws on his guitar and comes back to the front of the stage. And the song begins to play 7 summers.
"Yeah, you used to talk about
Gettin even farther south
Somewhere where the summer lasted all year round"
I knew exactly where this was going. My mom sent me this song awhile back telling me this song had to be about me I listened to it and knew instantly it was. Morgan looks around but his eyes always meeting mine
Allie leans to my ear and says " I've watched videos of him performing this song and he usually does it in front of the bleachers on the other stage.. it's weird he's doing this one up front"
"Maybe he's switching things up" I say as my cheeks reden
" but I wonder when you're drinkin
If you find yourself thinkin
About that boy from east Tennessee
And I know we both knew better
But we still said forever
And that was seven summers of coke and southern comfort"
He kneels down right down in front of us and looks me in the eye. While EVERYONE stares at us
"Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
Back then, you used to love the river
And sippin on a sixer with me
Does it ever make you sad to know
That's was 7 summers ago" as he sings that last line he reaches for me hand and kisses it. Chills instantly run down my spine and I take a big sip of my drink.
"What the hell was that paisley " Allie says in a stern voice.
"I don't know.." I say trying to not sound to guilty
Allie brushes it off as he continues to sing. Time goes by and we definitely steal some glances between one another. As Morgan walks to switch stages Allie grabs me and races to the gate in hopes to say hi. We are standing at the gate when he catches me standing there with Allie. He turns off his mic and leans into us "Paisley stay where you are after the show, I'm gonna have someone come grab yall after for show" he says placing a kiss on my hand and a wave to Allie.
"Yeah your gonna need to explain what the fuck is going on" Allie says in the most shocked voice
"I will I promise but let's just enjoy the concert "
As the concert comes to an end I start to walk away from where we are standing and Allie grabs me and pulls me back to our spot "Morgan Wallen told you to stay put so help me god you stay here" she says still holding my hand. We stand there for about 5 minutes when two security guards ask us to follow them. We follow them to what seems like the back stage area. That's when I see him. The man that stole my heart all those years ago.
"Paisley" he says with hopeful eyes
"Morgan" I say with a half smile
