'Never' is a dramatic assumption.
I've been walking around for weeks now feeling more and more confused.
A month and a half ago I didn't know this girl......now I was looking for any excuse in the book to spend time with her
I was singing along to a fucking country song on my way to her house then we would flawlessly fall into a twangy duet the minute she dropped into the passenger seat. That's how I found out she had a gorgeous singing voice. Then I put on some random Eminem song one day and she shocked me to silence when she sang it word for word back at me.
So yeah I guess when you use the word 'never' it's a dramatically wild assumption but I can't for the life of me think of any other time in my existence on this earth that I've ever felt this free......this light.....this.....happy
I smiled looking over at her singing along to a Shania Twain song blonde curls escaping through her arm she'd used to hold them down in an attempt to somewhat tame them. The biggest smile graced her face, my eyes momentarily lowered to her glistening lips reflecting the sunlight lightly
"......MAN! I feel like woman!"
The song ended just as I reached my destination, I turned in to the side of the road. I laughed as she threw her arms up with a loud cheer
"You can't tell me that song doesn't bring out something in you"
"Well....I can't say I feel like a woman but.....I like it"
She giggled finally looking at her surroundings then turned her attention back to him with a frowned expression.
"Where are we?"
".....my little oasis......when the world gets too hectic......thought it could be the perfect place to study"
She raised her eyebrows clearly interested at the prospect of being somewhere quiet, away from everything and everyone. I grabbed our bags from the back and sprinted around the car
"You know you're the only reason my brother keeps lending me his precious beauty right?"
She folded her arms across her chest giving me a proud smile
"..... your family just values my safety"
"Hey......MY baby has never hurt a soul....I promise you sweetheart ONE ride on her and you'll never look at another car again......I think my family just likes you more...."
"Funny"
"No seriously.....I have been sneaking that car around when he's not home but you show up and he's almost forcing me to drive it"
".....so you sneak his car around while you supposedly have the perfect steel horse in the garage"
"......wellll......recent developments might have influenced the decision"
"You don't think I can handle a motorcycle?"
"......your words, not mine"
"Excuse me sir.....I just so happen to be the owner of a thousand pound animal back in Tennessee which I might add I can ride at full speed.....and it sometimes happens to have a mind of it's own"
".....well you got me there cause I can't ride a horse to save my life"
"Well maybe if you take me for a ride on your baby I might someday invite you to Nashville to take a ride on mine"
"...... I'm officially terrified for my unknown future"
She laughed then turned silent, the sound of running water enveloped us, I looked over at her a bit startled when I caught a small tear escaping down her cheek as she stared out at the little river we slowly approached
