(chapter 2)(mutual friend)

(Shasta's p.o.v)

I was home now. Me and the guy had made slight conversation, but we never exchanged numbers or even our names. I had no idea what this guys name was or anything. But BG had texted me and asked if I would like to come to the bonfire tomorrow night. I never responded. I didn't like Amber and she didn't like me. So had to keep my distance from BG.
But now I climbed into bed with the dog. He flopped over beside me and grumbled. "Hey you got to sleep all day don't even try that". I say to Harley.
I pulled the covers up around myself. Harley rolled over on top of me. I sighed.
"You know I think I'll just be single forever whatcha think Harley?" I asked my dog.
He grumbled at me as he started to fall asleep.

'''''""'""''"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I got up and made myself some breakfast. I sighed and sat on the counter. My phone buzzed and I looked at the screen. Brantley...

Bg: hey

Me: whats up

I knew Amber was watching over his shoulder. Because if she wasn't he would've texted me
"Hey sweetheart".

Bg: I was wonderin if you wanted to come to the bonfire tonight?

Me: maybe, I'm not sure yet.

Bg: pleaaaasssee

Me: okay fine.

I smiled at the fact that my good friend was pleading for me to come hang out with him.
But I obliged, hell I had a day off why not?

I got dressed in my nice clothes but had my bikini on under it. Bg had a pool out back and that's where I'd always go.
I ran to Walmart to get a few things for BG, to have at the party.

Drinks

Chips

Dip

Copenhagen(Amber would be pissed about that one)

Marshmallows

Chocolate

Gramcrackers

I got everything and was up at the register to pay when I remembered BG's Copenhagen.

"One can of Copenhagen please". I say. "For the husband huh?" the cashier asked. "You could say that." I say.
I laughed a bit at the fact that she thought I was married.

I was on my way to Brantley's house with all the stuff he sent me after.

I had the radio cranked up loud as always.

"Looks like royal in a thrift store dress
Keeps my heart and her hair a mess
She goes where the wind suggests she goes, who knows
Got a spirit that can't be tamed
She's a calico pony on an open plain
I know I'll never be the same no more, for sure".

"She's a wild child
Got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style
She can't be tied down but for a while
I'll be falling free and so alive
Might break my heart but God she drives me wild child".

"You've never heard of her favorite band unless you
Been to Bonnaroo or Burning Man
She's Penny Lane in a Chevy van, she loves to love".

"She loves me wild child
Got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style
She can't be tied down but for a while
I'll be falling free and so alive
Might break my heart but God she drives me wild child

She'll be here until she runs
Some just have to chase the sun

She's a wild child".

"Got a rebel soul with a whole lot of gypsy wild style
She can't be tied down but for a while
I'll be falling free and so alive
Might break my heart but God she drives me wild child

A kaleidoscope of colors in her mind child
A touch of crazy hides behind her wild smile
So simple yet experimental
Innocent but still a little wild child

Wild child".

That was my favorite song.

I was finally at Bg's.
I got outta my car and Sylo ran to me nearly knocking me down.
I laughed and hugged the bull dog. Bg came outta the house in his dark jeans and athletic shirt. Damn that was one good lookin man.

"Hey Bg". I say hugging my best friend. "Hey""I'm glad you made it". Bg says.
"Come on there's someone I want you to meet". Bg says. "Okay". I say. He wrapped his arm around me until we came to the door where Amber stood. Bg removed his arm quickly.

Bg lead me into the house and smiled when he found the person he was searching for. I became wide eyed. "Shasta I want you to meet a great friend of mine Thomas Rhett." Bg says. "Thomas this is Shasta". Bg says. "Hey, I think we've met". Thomas says grinning. I smiled up at him.
"Hey did you get my Copenhagen?" BG asked.
