Life With Trent Harmon

Part 39: Nashville fun

The office door opens and Trent walks in and comes to sit next to you. "Scott should be in here in a minute.." he says quietly and studies you for a second. "You okay, babe?"
"Yeah.. just nervous."
"Why are you nervous? He's not mad we are engaged."
"But I really wanna get married sooner than a year from now."
"Me too." He says and kisses your cheek. "But Scott is gonna do what's best for both of us.."
"I'm tired of hiding our engagement.. and it's only been 4 days." You laugh and you look at your hand where your ring is supposed to be.
"I know. Maybe we will get to announce this week."
"Or maybe next."
"Why next?" He asks confused
"This is clay and Ash's wedding week. I don't want it to be about us. If we announce it this week and announce Clay joining your band next week, it's gonna make it seem like we are trying to make it about us.."
"I don't think they would.."
"Clay and Ashley wouldn't.." you say "but..."
"Oh I got you." He says and thinks for a second. "Why don't we announce the band thing this week and then our engagement next week since we have the Opry next week and everything."
You smile at him, but before you can respond, the office door opens and Scott Borchetta walks in the room.

Two hours later, Trent slips into the driver's seat of his car and starts it and slips his hand into yours.
"Well.." he laughs breathily "that's over and decided, huh?"
"Yeah I think so." You laugh back as he pulls onto the road, heading back to his apartment where Clay and ashley are waiting.
"So if clay accepts the guitar gig, we announce that tomorrow afternoon and then we announce the engagement next Wednesday, right?"
"I think that's what he said." Trent says as his phone buzzes. "He's always good about sending an email and briefing me on what's happening, after a meeting. I should be getting one in a few minutes."
He glances down at his phone and you see a smile cross his face as he releases your hand and whispers "one sec."
"Hey man." He says into the phone.
He listens for a second and then laughs "yeah it is crazy. We finished filming and everything and it came out last week.
"No it's fine man. You have a lot going on too. I will send you a link as soon as we hang up."
"Ummm. Yeah we should be."
"Well this week is crazy. We will be back next week."
"Tuesday night. For sure. Yeah! We will see you then."
"Haha yeah man" Trent laughs "I'll talk to you before then. See you. Bye."
He ends the call and hands you his phone before he slips his hand into yours again.
"Send Thomas Rhett the link to the TAG video please. It should be in my notes" He smiles over at you.
"He just called you to ask about your music video?"
"Yeah." Trent laughs and glances over at you. You continue to stare at him and he laughs again "he was in the planning meetings for it. And he just wanted to see when it was coming out."
"How is this your life?" You laugh as he glances back at you.
"I really don't know." He shrugs as he makes a turn.
"We are having dinner with them next Tuesday night at their house." He says nonchalantly
"We are?" You ask, trying to hide your excitement, but come across as irritated.
He glances over at you and says "uh i mean if you want to.."
"Of course I want to." You squeeze his hand.
"Okay good. I didn't mean to make a decision without asking you first..." he says and you laugh.
"Babe. It's fine. I wanna go. It'll be fun."
"Good."he says as he turns into his apartment complex.
As he parks, you unbuckle your seat belt and fish your purse out from under your feet. When you lean back up to wait for Trent to open your door, you notice he is still in the car. You look over and see him staring at you and smiling.
"I love you." He says as he leans closer and touches his lips to yours. You lean back slightly and whisper "I love you more."
He puts his hand on your neck and scoots closer so his lips graze yours again. When your lips meet again, the kiss grows and you slide your fingers into his hair. When the kiss stops for a second, you open your eyes at the same time as Trent and you see a smile sneak onto his face and you can't stop a smile from coming onto your face as his lips touch yours again and chills run down your back.
Too soon, he pulls back, winks at you and opens his car door. Before you catch your breath, he opens up your door and takes your hand to help you out. As you walk up to the door of his apartment, he wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you close to him, as you step on his toes.
"Trent I can barely walk on flat ground without falling." You laugh as he tightens his arm around you.
"I won't let you fall." He whispers into your ear and opens the door. You are still giggling when you walk in with Trent's arm around you and Ashley and Clay look up from the couch and raise their eye brows at yall.
"Good meeting?" Clay says looking from Trent to you.
"Mhm.." you laugh as Trent tries to pull you closer but you loose your footing and trip on Trent's feet and slip into the floor at Trent's feet.
You bust out laughing and say "you let me fall."
Trent helps you up while laughing and Out of nowhere starts singing "I just keep faaalllling for you baby."
You roll your eyes and laugh and sit on the couch.
An hour later, after Trent and clay leave for the audition, ashley looks over at you and says "am I really getting married this weekend?"
"Yeah.." you smile at her "you are.."
"Am I ready for this?" She asks
"I think you are. I've never seen two people love and support each other as much as you and Clay." You put your arm around her and hug her.
"Except you and Trent." She says and you laugh.
"Do you think me and Clay will make it?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I lost him I would lose my best friend."
"Ash.. yall will be fine. Y'all have been together for a really long time. Y'all have God as the center of your relationship. Y'all are gonna be okay. Clay loves you with everything in him."
She takes a deep breath and smiles at you. "Thank you. I love him so much. Even when I hate him, I love him."
You laugh and say "I know the feeling. That's how I know y'all are gonna make it."
She smiles over at you and says "so it looks like we may be moving to Nashville too.."
"So I hear!" You laugh "I'm gonna be the only one left in Amory!"
"Nah! I'll come home a lot while Clay is on the road. Especially before you move up here. Have y'all looked at anymore places or land?"
"Kinda online." You say "I haven't been up here much with him. And he hasn't had time to go look while he's been here. I think we are gonna come up next week and look some."
"Oh okay. Me and Clay may have to too, but not next week. We gonna be honeymooning it up in Hawaii."
"Ugh I need a trip to the beach." You sigh.
"We literally just got back 3 days ago." She laughs.
"I know but after this week and next I'm gonna need a good vacation."
"What's happening next week?" She asks while checking her phone.
"We are announcing our engagement so we are coming up Tuesday morning for a meeting with Scott. And then we are announcing it Wednesday. And then we have a BMR thing Wednesday night apparently. It's a big deal. And then we go home Thursday and have to be back early Friday morning for practice for the Opry."
"daggum " she laughs and you shrug
"I know. Welcome to my life. But it's gonna be great because I get to be with Trent the whole time. Any second I can be with him, I wanna be. Cuz him being away is tough."
"Yeah i dont know how well imma do with that."
"At least we will have each other." You say.
Suddenly, ashley says "I wonder if Clay will have to be back for the Opry?"
"I hadn't thought about that. Maybe not. I don't want y'all to have to cut your honeymoon short."
"Well I mean we were planning on surprising Trent Friday night by being here. We couldn't miss his Opry Debut. But we are supposed to land at 4 that afternoon in Nashville."
"We need to figure that out soon." You laugh.

Two hours later, Clay and Trent walk through the door and come and sit on the couch between you and ashley.
"So?" Ashley asks, looking from Trent to clay.
"Well.." Trent says slowly, "I have a new guitarist for my band."
"Ahhh!" Ashley says as she leans over to hug clay. He smiles bigger than you have ever seen as he wraps his arms around her. "God is so good."
"He is.." Clay says quietly and then kisses the top of Ashley's head. You feel Trent put his arm around you while you are watching Clay and Ashley.
"This really is my dream life." Clay says "playing guitar in a band with my best friend. Moving to Nashville. Marrying my favorite person on the planet."
Ashley squeezes him tighter and you laugh as he pushes her away a little "I can't breathe." She kisses his cheek and lays her head on his shoulder and you see his smile grow even more.
"Y'all hungry?" Trent asks after a little while and you check his watch. "How is it already 6:40?" You ask as ashley yawns.
"I don't know but now that you mention it, I'm starving."
"Me too." Trent says, moving his arm from around you. "And we've gotta be up early in the morning. Hair and makeup start at 5:40"
"Ugh" you say and lean across him dramatically. He laughs and kisses your cheek before you stand up.
A few minutes later, you all walk out of the door and head to Trent's car.
"Ya know?" Clay says as he climbs into the back seat next to Ashley. "Soon, this will be our norm. All of us grabbing supper in Nashville on a Monday."
"Yeah.." Trent says softly and winks at you as he slides his fingers between yours . "I can't wait."
