Hunter Hayes Imagines

#41: Dancing Around It

Basing this off of Charles Kelley's new song, because it's perfect. And I came up with this idea right away. Enjoy! :)

Hunter's POV:

Never did I know that saying the three little words, "I love you" could feel so right while so wrong at the same time.

I laid in a bed, tangled up in the sheets with a beautiful girl sleeping on my chest who I'd fallen for accidentally, out of nowhere, nothing could have stopped my heart from the feelings that developed. She makes everything in my life feel right. Everything about her makes me feel good.

But it shouldn't be that way. All of this was wrong. I looked down at the silver band on my left hand and sighed softly.

I was a married man. And Kaylee was a married woman. But we weren't husband and wife.

It was a complicated situation, one that I often times hated myself for setting into motion. Kaylee and I both had our reasons for hanging onto one another. But neither reason was good enough to cheat and break the marriage vows that we made to other people.

It all started six months ago. But never did I expect things between Kaylee and I to go as far as they have.

[Flashback]

I sat by myself on that big tour bus, nothing but the sound of my breathing filled the tiny back room. It often got lonely being on the road without my wife, Libby.

I wasn't me without her. My heart felt incomplete. And I wished to have her with me. But the touring lifestyle wasn't her thing. She'd stay home, working at the salon she loves while I pursed my music with my band around the country.

But tonight, being without her was just to much to bare. I had to go out for a few hours, keep myself occupied from the heartache of missing home.

I walked into the small diner in California and looked at the menu before ordering myself some dinner.

I looked around for a seat before I noticed a girl sitting alone at a table, tears streaming down her face.

I walked over towards her. "Are you okay?" I asked in concern.

"Oh, yeah. I'm fine." She wiped at her mascara stained cheeks with a napkin before smiling just the slightest.

"Do you want some company?" I asked.

"Sure." She smiled a little more now, moving her coffee cup closer to her.

"I'm Hunter." I said, sitting in the chair across from her.

"I'm Kaylee." She replied.

"It's nice to meet you." I smiled, sipping at my iced water.

"It's nice to meet you too." She smiled.

[End of Flashback]

That's the night everything started. Who knew a simple 'hello' would be the start of a secretive relationship that begins spiraling into something more.

It wasn't my intention to be more than friends with Kaylee. I wanted to be there for her while she was sad about a stupid fight she had with her husband. She told me she was grateful for the distraction. She was happy to be friends with me. But overtime, as I spent more time with her, deeper feelings began developing.

I tried to ignore them, avoid them. Making myself believe that it was nothing. Going on as if our friendship hadn't changed.

I got pulled out of my thoughts when I felt Kay began to stir, slowly waking from the sleepy state she was in.
