Life With Trent Harmon

Part 24: Home

You look out the window and then back down at your phone.
"3:34. He should be here any second" you think to yourself and sigh as Katie comes running into the room.
"Is he here yet, sissy?!"
"Not yet, Katie." You say and smile at her and look back out the window "but he should be soon.."
She runs back out of the room and you glance back down at your phone to see if you have any new messages.
As you look back up, you see a vehicle turn into your driveway and excitement rushes through your body as you jump up and run to the door.
When you get to the bottom of the stairs, Trent is already out of his car and steps toward you, smiling from ear to ear.
When you get to him, he holds his arms out and then wraps you in a hug. You throw your arms around his neck as he wraps his arms around your waist.
"You're home!!!" You say quietly.
"I am!!" He says as he leans back and smiles at you as he locks his eyes on yours. A soft smile works it's way onto his face and he leans in.
As his lips touch yours, Katie comes running out the door and he jerks away from you and picks her up and spins.
"KATIE BUG!!!"
"TRENT YOURE HOME!!!"
He kisses her cheek and puts her on the ground and bends down to her level. "I AM!!"
Your parents rush out the door and Kyle comes out behind them and rushes up to Trent. Trent hugs him quickly and then shakes your dad's hand.
"Mr. American idol. How long have you been home?" Your dad asks and Trent chuckles and looks at his watch.
"My plane landed two hours ago. I got to the house thirty minutes ago. So not long."
Your dad shakes his head and smiles and Trent hugs your mom.
"I'm making cookies. Make sure you grab some tonight when you drop her off." She says as she glances at you.
"Will do!" He says and looks back at you.
"Trent can you stay and play?" Katie says, looking up at him.
"Not tonight, i have something planned. But I promise one day while I'm home, me and you will do something so fun!!" He says with excitement as he winks at Katie.
She smiles widely at him and hugs him. Your family walks back inside and Trent turns to you.
"Up for an adventure?"
"Sure, as long as I'm with you." You smile up at him and he bends down and kisses your cheek, and then turns and opens your door. You climb in and then wait.

When he turns out of your driveway, he slides his fingers between yours.
"Where are we going, Trent?" You ask as a smile crosses your face.
"Where do you want to go?" He glances over at you and then back at the road.
His features strike you again as you stare at him and you can't help but smile. You study his tan face and the was he gets a dimple when he gets embarrassed when he sees your looking at him.
"Ummm and answer would be nice.."
"Oh." You say and laugh as you look at the clock. "Food would be good.."
"Of course!" He smiles over at you and you say
"You can pick."
He stares at the road and nods as you turn up the radio.
"And now our own hometown American idol's first single. Falling." You look over at him and he takes off his sunglasses and looks at you, with a shocked look on his face as the music fills up the truck.
"Just when I, think that I'm, bout as high..." Trents voice fills the vehicle and chills run over your body. He slows down his car and pulls to the side of the road and turns up the radio. He looks over at you and you see tears in his eyes as the second verse ends.
"I just keep falling for ya baby. You just keep killing me one kiss at a time..."
the radio continues and Trent whispers "that's me..."
You lean over and kiss him and say "it is you." He kisses you again and puts his hand on your cheek. As you lean back, you say "and I'm so proud of you."
You see his cheeks turn red and you smile to yourself.
As the song ends and Trent pulls back onto the road, his phone starts ringing and he looks at it and hits the accept call and speaker buttons.
"Dude. I just heard you on the radio."
"Yeah man. I heard it too. Me and (y/n) are headed to Tupelo and it came on."
"That's so cool, man."
"I know!!" Trent says and smiles over at you.
"Clay I wanna talk to him" you hear in the background and then a familiar voice comes on the line.
"TRENT!"
"Ash!!!"
"Your song was on the radio.." Ashley sniffles and says quietly.
"Ash are you crying?" Trent asks, laughing.
She sniffles again and says "no. Okay maybe."
They talk for a few more minutes and then hang up.
He reaches over and takes your hand again and you say "wow. There's a first for everything."
He nods and pulls into the restaurant.
"That was so weird." He says, laughing.
