Life With Trent Harmon

Part 31: A Day in Nashville, Part 1

You climb back in Trent's car and he shuts the door. You open your dr. Pepper and take a sip as he gets in and cranks the car.
"How far are we from Nashville?" You ask as you lean your head back on the head rest and look at him as he pulls back onto the freeway.
"Uh. About. A hour and a half.. maybe a little more." He says as he slides his fingers between yours.
"What time does does the dinner start tonight?" You ask and look down at your phone at the new message that just came in.
"Dinner?"
"Yeah the dinner you needed a date to?" You say, and roll your eyes at him.
"I just said I needed a date. I didn't say it was a dinner.."
"Then what are we doing?"
"I thought we might go to the ACCAs..we have to be on the red carpet by 6." he says, keeping his eyes on the road.
"TRENT." You raise your voice and say "we are going to an awards show tonight, you didn't freaking tell me? I didn't bring the right clothes for an awards show, especially a red carpet... I didn't..."
He looks over at you and smiles "honey.. do you really think I would not be prepared? We are meeting with stylists at 4. They will dress us, and the fix us up.. mr. Scott had it all arranged for us."
"Why didn't you tell me?" You look over at him and laugh, helplessly.
"I didn't think you would mind..." he says, looking suddenly panicked. "I'm sorry. You don't have to go. You can stay in the apartment and just chill if you want..."
"No Trent!" You lean over and kiss his cheek. "I want to go.. I just didn't know..."
"There's something else you need to know..."
"Uhhhh? Okay?" You say and look over at him. He places his hand on your leg and says "I'm introducing Keith before he performs."
"TRENT NO WAY!!!" You can't contain your excitement.
"Yeah!" He laughs and smiles over at you.
"That's so freaking cool! By yourself?"
"Naw! I think it's me and Jana Kramer."
"I LOVE HER!" You yell, and he rubs his ear and laughs. He puts his hand back on your leg and says "I know!"
You sit quietly for a minute and say "I can't believe you didn't tell me.."
"And one more thing. We have to stop by the BMR after party for a little while. It's a Scott rule.. but after that it's just me and you.."
"So we will be there with all the other BMR artists?" You ask, trying to hide your excitement.
"Yeah.." he says, trying to read your reaction.
"THATS SO COOL." You laugh and lean over to kiss Trent's cheek again.

About an hour later, you see a sign that says "Nashville 28 miles" and you say:
"I can't believe my parents agreed to let me come..."
"Well they really didn't... but."
"They knew what I was going to pick." You say matter of factly.
He laughs and changes lanes as he says "yeah that's true."
Your phone buzzes and you pull it back out of your purse and smile at your message from Hannah.
"Hannah again?" Trent asks, glancing over at you.
"Yeah. She just got my message about the ACCA's and she's freaking out."
You text her back and then stick your phone under your leg.
You look out the window and see a lake with a farm house behind it, and you look over at Trent.
"I'd like to live somewhere like that.." you say nonchalantly. "Not exactly like that. But I like it."
"Hmmm.." Trent says as he looks at the house, while driving. "This is a good spot.. not too far out of Nashville."
Trent says and you look out the windshield to see the skyline of Nashville.
"Woah." You whisper and Trent takes your hand. "I've never been to Nashville." You say and he smiles over at you.
"Welcome home..." he says as he keeps driving.

You follow Trent in to his apartment and he lays your bags down next to the table and then takes your hand.
"This is the kitchen..." he says, leading you on a tour.
The last room on the tour is the living room. You fall into the couch and sigh with your eyes closed. Trent sits down beside you and says "tired?"
You open your eyes and look over at him and smile. "Yeah, I am."
He puts up his foot rest and leans back and takes the tv remote and starts flipping through channels.
You lay down on the couch with your head is his lap. Once he decides on what to watch, he starts running his fingers through your hair, and before long you doze off.

You wake up to the first FRIENDS episode on tv, and Trent snoring behind you, with his fingers still in your hair. You roll onto your back carefully to look up at him and smile to yourself.
Even a sleep, he still is perfect. His hair is a tangled mess, and his facial hair could be trimmed. His jaw line is as sharp as ever and you just want to kiss him. You remember how tired he has been, partially because of you, so you just keep looking at him. His long eye lashes are resting on his cheeks and his mouth is slightly open.
You stare at him for another minute and then sit up gently and lean over and kiss his lips gently. His eyes start to flitter and you hop up to go take a shower.

When you walk out of the bathroom, you tiptoe past the living room, but see that Trent isn't there anymore. You walk into the room you're staying in and slip into a pair of shorts and Trent's tshirt and scrunch your hair so that it curls a little. You look in the mirror at your self and shrug. "It'll do.." you think to yourself as you walk out the door.
You look around the apartment and hear Trent in the bathroom so you walk to the kitchen and open the cabinet to look for a snack. You rummage through a few cabinets and find a few cookies. You take four out of the pack and start to put the pack back in the cabinet. As you close the cabinet door, you feel Trent's arms wrap around your waist, and he whispers "I caught you, Cookie Monster" and kisses your neck. Chills run down your spine and you smile to yourself. He puts his hands back on your waist and turns you to face him. As soon as you get turned around, his lips are on yours. You wrap your arms around his neck and put your fingers in his hair. He pulls you closer to him, but pulls out of the kiss for a slight moment. When you look into his eyes, you see a look that you've only seen a couple of times before. Before you can even think, he kisses you again and starts walking slowly. The kiss sets off a million fireworks through your body.
As you walk into his room, a million thoughts swirl into your mind at once.. he looks at you, seeing your uncertainty and takes a deep breath and a step back. As he walks to the bathroom, you sit on his bed and pull your legs up to you and turn on the tv. When he returns, he climbs onto the bed next to you and you turn the tv down and slide closer to him and kiss him.
"What time do we need to leave here?" You ask, trying to hide any feelings that might be showing on your face as you lean back on a pillow.
"In about two hours, to make sure we are at the stylist in time.." he says, glancing at you and then back at the tv.
"Okay!" You say.
"You look beautiful" he whispers as he leans close to you and touches his lips to yours. "You could go just like that and still be the most beautiful woman on the red carpet."
You feel yourself blush and say "the most beautiful woman, huh?"
He looks over at you and says "yeah. Brett Eldredge is a pretty man." And then smirks.
You bust out laughing and say "yeah I couldn't expect to be the most beautiful on the carpet when those hot country guys are gonna be there..."
He raises his eye brows at you and tries to hide the smile trying to take over his face.
"Of course," you continue "the hottest guy there will be holding my hand.."
You smile at him and lean over to touch your lips to his. The kiss sets off more fireworks all over your body and he wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you closer.
"I love you." He whispers as he kisses your lips and then trails kisses down your chin and back to your lips. You put your hand on his cheek and push his back a little bit and look into his eyes for a second.
"I love you too" you whisper in a shaky voice..
When his lips touch yours again, you can feel the moment deepen slightly, and you try to ignore the warning signs going off in your brain. As you scoot closer to him, your shirt comes up, exposing half of your stomach. Trent rolls closer to you and puts his hand on the visible skin on your back and slides it to your side and you feel icy fire where his fingers land. Your hand lands on his neck and you put your fingertips in his hair. The kisses grow more intense with each one, and suddenly the alarms in your brain get louder. You try to tune them out again, and Trent pulls you even closer, to where you are almost completely under him and looks into your eyes, searching for an answer to an unasked question. You blink up at him, for the third time to willing the alarms in your brain to silence. He kisses you again as the tips of his fingers are at the bottom of your shirt. He looks into your eyes again, and your breath catches in your throat as he slides his fingers under the hem and kisses your throat. You feel like his lips are leaving fire everywhere they touch, as they trace from your lips down your neck. The alarms scream even louder as your shirt comes up more as you scoot under Trent even more and suddenly, you take a deep breath.
"Trent.." you whisper, and suddenly he stills and pulls back. His eyes search yours for a second and then he slides his hand back down to your side and scoots away, slightly. "Trent.. I'm sorry." You say, your voice shaking even more.
"No.. I'm sorry.." he says as he sits up and looks over at you. "I... I need to go take a shower.." he says quietly as he kisses your cheek and stands up and walks back to the bathroom and shuts the door.
You stare at the spot where Trent had been laying just a minute before and instantly scold yourself.
"Why are you such a chicken.." you ask yourself as you get up and walk back into the living room to finish getting ready.
