Daddy's still here.

Life Before my little girl

Picture of Jason

"Um....well.....would you like to come to one of my concerts tonight?" I say to the most beautiful girl in school. She looks at me for a moment with a glint of surprise in her eyes, then a gorgeous, playful smile lights up her eyes and I get a small tingling in my body that her smile is made because of me.

"It's about time Jason." She jokes and wraps her arms around my neck, I don't hesitate to wrap mine around her waist.

"What time should I be ready at?" She breaks the comfortable silence and I loosen my arms, but stubbornly don't let go.

"8?" I question unable to hide my smile. She nods and slips out of my arms. I watch her walk down the hall, her long hair swaying side to side and she glances behind her, her eyes connecting with mine.

Oh crap. That's her. That's my wife......

How un-masculine of me to feel giddy and butterflies, but I can't help it. She just does this to me. When she is long gone, I turn and almost feel like skipping to my car; but I hold in my excitement. This is our fifth date. Our first was to a movie and then dinner. We talked about the movie and all the things we did and didn't like about it; after that we got ice cream and I walked her home sense we didn't want the night to come to an end.Our second date we went to the water park with a few other friends on her side and my side. Let me just say.......I had a heck of a time not drooling over her. Thought I did get caught staring at her an embarrassing amount of times. Our third date I took her dancing.....even though I can't dance. Comes to find out, she can't dance either; so we just swayed side to side for three hours, talking about little things. Our fourth I drove her up to the base of the mountain and we went for a hit. She kicked my butt. But once we where up there, we had a little picnic. That was the first time she heard me play my guitar.

For this one.....I was a little nervous. She will be hearing my band and my music.

I nervously stand outside of Abbie's apartment door waiting for her. Suddenly the door opens fast and she has blush on her cheeks; she looks at me and stops in her tracks. For me; all the air in my body is knocked out of me and formed into the word "wow" as I stare at her. Her long brown hair is in loose curls around her shoulders and her make up is light, but it makes her bright blue eyes pop. The short navy dress she wears hugs her body and the black leather jacket she wears copies my own.

"Don't you look sexy." She says breaking me out of her trance.

"Your the sexy one." I burlt out.

She laughs and I feel the blush creep into my cheeks.

"Don't be embarrassed silly, thank you." She smiles at me and grabs my hand, I lace our fingers together and we walk back to my car.

I open the door for her and watch her get in, then quickly walk to my side. We talk about random things and then fall into a warm silence. Not awkward. Not unwanted. Just a simple silence that makes you reminisce on the conversation you just had. As we pull up to the stage house, I park and run a hair through my hair; "I hope you don't hate this." I whisper almost before getting out of the car. I feel her eyes follow me as I go to open her door.

"Why would I hate this?" She asks as I hold out a hand for her; She takes it and I lock the car as we walk inside.

"Because it's a little different from just me on a mountain top with a gorgeous girl." I smile at her and squeeze her hand lightly. She smiles at me with a slight blush on her cheeks. We go over to my band and talk, joke and laugh. But then it's time to start.
