Wow, apologies again for taking so long to update. I just started my first semester at  a college I just transfered too and it's took a lot of getting used to.  But I have a little free time now and I'm updating. Hope you guys like it. This is continued from before.... 

"So no basics huh? You know every little basic fact about me." He said with a slight grin while leaning back and staring up at the stars. 

"Well, don't make it sound creepy. No, I might not know every little basic fact about you but I do know the important stuff." 

"Care to enlighten me so I don't waste my breath on anything you already know?" 

I chuckled, "Okay, but I swear I'm not some crazy stalker. So don't judge me." He laughed as I went on, "Your birthday is October ninth of 1993, your moms name is Judy dads name is Mike and your sisters name is Ashley, You have two dogs, Becky and Junior. Country music is your life, that's obvious though. You're obsessed with Bojangles which I've never been to by the way, You're from Garner Nor-" 

"Woah! Hold on just go back for one second. You've never been to Bojangles? Ever?" He said while cutting off my sentences. 

"Um, no. We don't have one here where I live." 

"You haven't lived." He said scruffily while laying down. 

I laid back down next to him and glanced up at the stars then glanced at him by my side, "I've lived thank you very much. I guess you're just gonna have to take me sometime, huh?" 

He laughed as I turned my eyes back up to the stars, "Yeah, I'll take you sometime. You'll love it. At least I hope so." 

"No worries, I think I'll love it, I love all kinds of food. Anyway, with that being said, I'm still waiting for you to tell me about yourself." 

"Okay, okay. I'm not really sure what to tell you. I'm just a regular twenty year old guy who loves to sing/listen to country music. I'm a family guy, my family is important to me and they will always be number one along with Jesus Christ of course. He's the reason why I'm where I am today so I gotta thank him. I love hanging out with my friends whether it's a chill night at a buddies house watching sports or going hunting it's good to be around them. They keep me grounded. Once I let fame get to my head it's all over from there but that'll never happen. I plan on staying grounded and not traveling too far from my roots. Garner is my home and always will be I think. It's the perfect little town. Have you ever been there?" 

"No, I haven't but I would love to visit sometime. It sounds like one of those cute little towns where everyone knows everyone, like a water tower town." I laughed as I thought I was funny using one of his song titles. 

"Oh, you're so clever. You'll have to visit though. You'll like it since you live in a small town yourself. Since you're my tour guide for your town I'll be your own personal tour guide if you ever come visit Garner, deal?" 

Correction, When I come visit Garner. Yes, deal. That sounds great." I smiled at him while laying on my back. The silence crept over us both as we lay there staring up at the sky wondering what was going to happen next. I still couldn't believe this was happening to me. Star gazing with Scotty only happened in my dreams. 

"So what are you going to show me tomorrow? Anything interesting in your home town?" He cut off my thoughts with his sweet deep voice that gave me chills. 

"Honestly, my hometown is kinda boring but I do live near a college campus, where I go to college, so I would love to show you around there. Um maybe walk downtown a little bit. We don't have a huge downtown area but it's cool with all the lights hanging up. It won't be too cold tomorrow either. staying in the 50s upper 40s. We can  go out to eat too. We will just go with the flow. No set schedule."
