Life With Trent Harmon

Part 31: A Night in Nashville (Part 2)

You step out of the limo, and Trent takes ahold of your hand. He turns to look at you and smiles, trying to ease your nerves.
"You look absolutely stunning" he says in a quiet tone.
You feel the heat rush to your face and you look down at your dress and smooth down a wrinkle. Before you can say anything, Trent puts his finger under your chin and lifts it up until you make eye contact and then touches his lips to yours quickly.
"Trent" you smile at him "you look absolutely amazing."
He smirks at you and says "better then all them other country boys?"
"Hmmm." You look him up and down and take his hand. "Well we will have to wait and see how Brett Eldredge is looking tonight..."
Trent busts out laughing and you giggle too. Then, he kisses you again and lets his lips linger for a few moments. Before pulling his face away he whispers "you ready?"
"As I'll ever be.." you whisper as he takes a step back. He turns to lead you around the corner to the carpet, and you say "hey t?"
He turns and looks at you. You use your hand to wipe over his lips where your lipstick has left a light stain. "That's better" you say and he holds in a laugh "what? Not my shade?" You wink at him and reply "not quite" as he slides his fingers between yours. As you walk out onto the red carpet, you are shocked at the amount of people yelling for Trent's attention. He takes his time, stopping to sign a few autographs and take a few selfies. You stand back, and watch him with his fans and you can't help but smile.
"Next year.." you think to yourself "everybody will know who he is..".
After talking for a minute, Trent comes back and slides his hand into yours and leads you further down the red carpet to what you assume is where the press is.
This time, Trent doesn't leave your side. Instead, as the cameras start flashing, Trent slides his fingers between yours and smiles down at you. Your heart slows down a bit as Trent wraps his arm around your waist and smiles for the camera.
Next, he leads you into the building and y'all are ushered into small room with a camera, where Scotty McCreery and Gabby are being interviewed.
Trent looks over at you and puts his finger to his lips to remind you to stay quiet. You study Gabby and Scotty as they are being interviewed. You remember her telling you last time you talked that she had only been in a few interviews, but tonight she looks so calm and collected. As their interview ends, you see the background says "iHeartCountry"
Scotty walks over and sticks his hand out to Trent says "hey man! Welcome to the big leagues."
"This is crazy" Trent laughs, looking around. And then motions to you. "You remember my girl (y/n)."
"For sure! Good to see you again!" Scotty says as he shakes your hand "I see Trent still hasn't put a ring on that finger."
You feel heat rush to your face and Gabbie says "Scottie!! You haven't either" as she rushes over. She pulls you into a quick hug and says "sorry!"
"It's fine" you laugh. "I'm just waiting on him.."
Trent rolls his eyes at Scotty but before anything can be said, the camera men motion for you and Trent.
You say good bye to Scotty and Gabbie and Scotty says "we will see y'all in there!"
When y'all walk up, you are each handed a microphone and the interviewer walks over and gives you a run down of the questions.
"And what's your name again?" She looks at you and whispers seconds before the camera starts rolling.
You tell her and then she begins.
"And now we are back with the last American idol, Trent Harmon!"
"Hey y'all!" Trent says, looking from her to the camera.
She asks Trent a few questions and then turns to look at you.
"So, (y/n) you and Trent are?"
A shocked feeling works it's way through your body and before you can answer, Trent says "boyfriend girlfriend" and smiles over at you as a huge grin works it's way across your face and a warm feeling spreads through your body. Below the camera, you reach over and take Trent's hand and he slides his fingers between yours.
"Where are you from?" The interviewer asks you.
"Amory!" You smile and then say "my family just moved there back in October of last year!"
After y'all talk for a few minutes, she wraps up the interview and then ushers y'all out of the room. "Wait here. Security will be here in a minute to take you to your seats." She says and then rushes back in the room.
"You were amazing, baby girl." Trent says as he turns to you and puts his hand on your cheek, smiling from ear to ear.
"I was so nervous."
"It wasn't noticeable." He smiles down at you. "You looked like a pro on the red carpet and during the interview."
You smile up at him and feel your cheeks turn red under his gaze. He kisses your cheek and opens his mouth to say something else but is interrupted by a large guy walking up.
"Mr. Harmon, Miss (y/l/n). Follow me."
