Life With Trent Harmon

Part 37: Bachelorette Beach fun

You close your eyes, sit back into your chair and take a deep breath. You listen to the waves crash for a minute and smile to yourself. You open your eyes and look over at Ashley and say "I can't believe you're getting married next weekend, ash."
She opens her eyes and looks over at you and a smile creeps onto her face.
"Me either.. I can't believe me and Clay are getting married on our three year anniversary..."
"That's so crazy..." you laugh and lay your head back again and close your eyes. "What all still has to be done before next Saturday?"
"We have to decorate, and I've gotta finish the groomsmen gifts and the flower girl gift.." Ashely says and then pauses "I'm actually getting married. A week from tomorrow..."
"I can't believe it's actually here..." you laugh and breathe in the salty air.
"What time are the guys getting here tomorrow?" Ashley asks, quietly.. "I miss clay."
"I miss Trent too.. I'm praying it works out for him to come..."
"Last I heard he was!"
"Me too..." you say and then "Trent is flying into Birmingham tonight, because he has a performance at a radio station tomorrow. And then Clay and the other guys are supposed to pick him up on the way through tomorrow afternoon. I'm not sure what time they'll be here..."
"Prolly about 7 or so..." Ashley says as RK walks up with Emily and Sarah.
"Y'all don't need to get fried.." RK laughs. "Besides, we are hungry.. lets go get ready to eat..."
"Five more minutes.." you and Ashley say in unison and then laugh.
"We are going on up.." Sarah laughs and follows behind RK.
"Okay Randi is right. You can't be peeling on your wedding day..." you say and Ashley sits up "oooo you're right..." she says and then stands up and starts gathering her stuff and you do the same .
"You're always saving my life and stuff..."
"Hey.. what are maid of honor's for?" You laugh back and pull her into a hug and then lead the way back to the beach house.
Two hours later, you are all sitting at the Shrimp Shack, feasting on fried shrimp and laughing over a few margaritas..
After everyone is done eating, you clear your throat and every one looks at you.
"Ashley." You say and smile over at her. "We all talked for a while and tried to decide what to get you"
"Y'all didn't have to get me anything"
"Hush." You say and laugh "and we finally decided on this.. " you say as you pull a bag from under the table and hand it to her.
She tears the paper from the top of the bag and pulls out a large scrapbook with cute stickers across the front.
"From your girls..." she reads a loud and then looks up. You see tears in her eyes and you feel them gather in yours too, and you blink them back.
She opens the first page and sees "your flower girl..." written across the top with a picture of her and Katie and then a hand written letter. Tears slide down her cheeks as she turns the pages and reads the pages of notes, and letters from her brides maids and people involved in her wedding.
When she is halfway through, your phone rings. You pull it out and see that it's Trent. She glances over at you and sees your phone and smiles and says "take it. It's fine."
You smile back and stand up and say "thanks ash. I'll be right back."
You walk out of the restaurant and Call Trent back. He answers on the third ring, and sounds out of breath.
"Hey!" He says loudly. You can hear a lot of noise around him and you ask "hey babe. Where are you?"
"I'm at the airport headed to Birmingham and I just wanted to call and tell you that I love you."
Warmth makes its way through your body and a smile crosses your face "I love you too Trent." You hear him take a deep breath and all the noise around him seems to lessen. "I'm so glad to hear that..." he sighs.
"Are you still getting to come to spend the rest of the weekend ?"
"I think so.." he says and then "Scott never really said yes or no. But there's a gap in the schedule, so I assumed it was okay.."
"Let me know if anything changes.." you say.
"I will!!" He says and starts " I can't wait..."
"Trent" you hear someone say and then muffled tones.
"Hey babe, I gotta go. I'll call you later okay?"
"Okay." You smile and then he says "I love you."
"I love you too." You say back and you can hear his smile through the phone, as he hangs up.
You walk back inside and as you reach the table, you see Ashley wiping away tears and turning to the last page "that's the page where you can put a pic of us this weekend.." Emily says.
As you walk over, ash looks up at you. "Everything good?"
"Yeah everything's great" you smile and sit down.
After y'all talk for a little while, you all go get back in the car and drive back to the beach house.
"Look how pretty the sunset is..." Ashley says as she looks out the window.
When you are close to your hotel, Ashley instructs you to pull over to the side of the road and she jumps out and every one follows.
"It's so pretty..." RK whispers as everyone looks at the sunset over the horizon..
"I wish I had my camera..." Ashley says quietly...
After a second, Ashley looks over at you and says "can you go get it? You can just park the car and then run up and get it, and then come back out here. That way the car isn't on the side of the road.."
You sigh and say "yeah I can do that... anyone wanna ride with me?"
No one answers so you climb back into the car and crank it.
"Meet us by the sailboat." Ashley says into the window and then follows the others as they walk closer to the water.
You drive over to the beach house and run up the stairs to the room. You look around for a minute or two and then call Ashley. "I can't find it..." you say, irritated...
"Oh sorry RK was supposed to call you.. we forgot we put it in her purse.."
"Oh, okay." You snap and then end the call.
You take a deep breath and walk toward the boat.
When your feet hit the sand, you look up at the sky and see that the sun has almost set.
"Great. I pretty much missed it." You think, sadly.. as you keep walking, your brain drifts to Trent and suddenly, you feel excited knowing he will be here with you tomorrow.
You look up at the sky again and notice the dark closing in around you and you look for the sail boat. You see it, and then notice small lights on the other side, and smile to yourself. You narrow your eyes, closer to the boat, and can't seem to find Ashley or any of the others. The closer that you get, you see a figure sitting on the edge of the boat.
When you get within fifty yards of the boat, you realize that the figure isn't anyone that you know, and you start to panic.
"they would leave me..." you say quietly, and keep walking. When you are a few feet away from the boat, the figure stands up. A sick feeling starts working it's way into your stomach. You focus your eyes on the lights ahead of you, and notice that they are Christmas twinkly lights. You smile and try to avoid the person standing near the boat that you are about to pass. When you are almost passed , the figure steps out in front of you and before you can scream, your eyes meet theirs and your breath catches in your throat.
"Surprise.."
"Trent.." you whisper and he steps closer.
"What the hell?" You ask and he laughs.
"I told you I like surprises.." he says.
"What are you doin here? I thought you weren't supposed to come til tomorrow.."
"The Birmingham show got moved for a few weeks, so I decided to come early. Is that okay?" He asks and closes the distance between y'all a little more.
You wrap your arms around his waist and lay your head on his chest. "More than okay." You whisper.
"I love you." He says as you look up at him and he touches his lips to yours.
"I love you more." You say and smile.
"This has been the longest three weeks..." he says as he wraps you in another hug.
"I agree.." you say and pull him tighter to you. You stand wrapped in his hug for another minute and then he pulls back and smiles down at you.
"Wanna take a walk and look at the lights?"
You feel your eyes twinkle and you stand on your tip toes and kiss him again. He slides his fingers down your arm and then in between your fingers and takes a small step back and you study him. He is wearing his looser ripped jeans and a white shirt with his leather jacket zipped part of the way.. his hair is being messily blown in the wind.. the last of the sun is shining on his face, and accents his scruffy facial hair. His bright blue eyes sparkle as he smiles at you and you can't help but let your breath catch in your throat as a smile grows onto your face. You stand, staring at him for another few seconds and then he turns and starts walking.

You walk beside him and he talks as he leads you toward the candles and the lighted path.
"We just decided to do it today.." he says and then laughs "Clay was all for it. He couldn't wait to see Ashley... they are so in love. He loves her so much.. "
"She loves him too.." you say and lay your head on his arm as you keep walking.
after a second, you say "these lights are so pretty... I wonder who put them up like this?"
"Hmm.." Trent says and you continue "they may not want us to use them..."
"Nah they won't care, I'm sure... it's an open beach..." he says and shrugs.
After a few more feet, you see the lights taped off to candles and suddenly a feeling comes across you as you step into the half circle of candles.
Before you can say anything, Trent steps around in front of you and smiles at you.
"(Y/n) I love you."
"I love you too, Trent.." you say and pull him into a hug. You feel him shaking and suddenly you start shaking, too as he steps away.
"Look around.." Trent says quietly "does anything look familiar about it?" You look around quickly, but then back at Trent, and you see his eyes shining.
"A few months ago, just about a month or two after we started dating,  I stood right here. In this spot" Trent says and motions to the area "and told how in love with you I was and I told you that I'm going to marry you one day. And no matter where this ride takes us, I want you to be beside me..."
suddenly, tears are in your eyes and sliding down your cheeks before you can stop them. He reaches and wipes a tear off of your cheek and smiles as tears form in his eyes.
"And I was as serious as I could be. At that point, we had only been dating for a month or two, but I knew. I knew from the day that I asked you to be my girlfriend that you were the one I was supposed to marry." He pauses and looks down and you open your mouth to speak, but the words won't come.
When he looks back up, a tear is making it's way down his cheek. "And this ride hasn't been easy. At all. But through it all, you have been my constant. I don't know where I'd be today if It wasn't for you..."I love you so much..." You smile up at him and he takes a deep breath as he looks into your eyes.
"So, " Trent says and he takes another quick breath and takes a step back and goes down onto his right knee and pulls a small box out of his jacket pocket
"(Y/full/n) will you marry me?"
Your breath catches again, and tears rush down your face..
For what seems like forever, you stare down at him, with his worried eyes, full of tears, looking up at you.
"I..." you say quietly and panic rushes over his face.
Before he can respond, you take a step closer to him and smile, through the tears rushing down your face.
"Yes, Trenton William Harmon.." you whisper, looking into his eyes "I would love to marry you."
He stands up quickly, and you wrap your arms around his neck as he touches his lips to yours quickly, but softly. He wraps his hands around your waist and pulls you closer to him. 
"You said yes, right?" He whispers, close to your ear..
You bust out laughing and lean back and look at him "yes Trent. Yes I will marry you."
He touches his lips to yours, softly again and you tighten your arms around his neck as the kiss grows. You let one of your hands run through his hair and he tightens his grip on your hips and slides his hand into your back pocket.
Suddenly, you hear someone clear their throat. You pull back and see clay standing  near the edge of the water, next to RK and Ashley and the rest of the group. You look back at Trent, trying to get back to the moment before. He kisses you again quickly and winks at you. The group comes walking over and you take a step back and Trent takes the ring out of the box and slips it on your left hand.
You look up at him, and he laughs "yeah I want you to wear it on that hand." You laugh too and kiss him. When you pull back, you look at the ring on your hand and it takes your breath away. It has one large stone in the middle, surrounded by little stones, and then a twisted band- just like the one you told Trent about.
"Do you like it?" Trent asks quietly just before the group reaches you.
"It is absolutely perfect, Trent.." you whisper back and he kisses you on the nose.
"Just like you"
Warmth spreads through you again and suddenly you are surrounded by people and hugs and congratulations.
You take it all in, and never let your fingers unintertwine with his and you never let him get too far away from your side.
The rest of the night, you try to find your way back to the moment where it was just you and
Trent, and all that was ahead was your future, where you'd never have to say goodbye again..
