                I tried to put the thoughts of me and Hunter out of my head. But a few weeks later I still had the same feelings. Every time I saw Hunter smile at me. Or he got out of the shower oh boy. And we kept almost kissing and stopping ourselves. I needed advice and now. "Hey Gabs." I said after I had eaten breakfast. I was checking in. "Hey oh I miss you so much. How are things?" She asked. "I've been better." I said. "Uh-oh I was waiting on this phone call." She said. "What phone call?" I asked. "The one where you fell for Hunter." "I have not..."

             "yea you have, It's sleeping in the same bed with him. It's living this life. This fake life. You and him spend time together I saw you guys almost kiss when you guys were here last month. I know you want it. "What...I..." "You do like him!!" "Okay so what if I do? But it doesn't matter, he doesn't like me." I said. "You know he does. Maybe he's not telling you how he feels because he's worried he'll scare you off." "Maybe but this will change everything. I mean what if we agree to keep dating. And then it doesn't work out. Then I have to get a divorce. And annulment is off the table." I said.

                    "But what if it works out and you spend the rest of your lives together?" "I guess I hadn't thought of that." I agreed. "Besides, I have seen the two of you together. You are literally perfect for each other. And I'm not saying that to make you feel better either." "Thanks Gabs." "You HAVE to tell him, if you don't you'll always be wondering what if." She said. "Maybe you're right but I don't even know how to tell him." I said. "Just say 'hey you know how were married? Well let's keep it that way." I laughed. "Maybe not. I'll think of something." I said. "Okay but you have to call me as soon as you tell him. I want to know! Oh and when you consummate the marriage." "Like that will happen!" I shrieked. "I give you guys two days."

"Please we will not." "Honey I've seen the way you two look at each other. It's like fire on fire or something...i don't know." She said. "Okay i admit it i like him a lot and the things i would do to that boy...I'm scaring myself." I said. "No you should go with this. So that girl writing the magazine called right? And she wanted a picture of what you'd be wearing on your honey moon and you just so happen to be in something sexy and he jumps you." She said. I blushed. "As much as I'd like that, i think we should just talk about it but what if he doesn't like me back?" I asked. "Please, you're being ridiculous. But in the SLIM chance he doesn't like you back then you pour yourself into work and move on." "Okay i can do that." I nodded.

"Seriously call me after you tell him, and if you don't call right away. Have a good time." I could hear the laughter in her voice. "You have lost it, you know that right?" I asked. "Whatever you like it. Bye Chica!" She said hanging up.

Hunter was at the studio. He texted he was going to be late so i wasn't worried, just nervous. And the pizza was getting cold. He finally came in and it was almost dark. "Sorry I'm late i had some stuff to do, can i talk to you?" He asked. "Oh i was going to say the same thing." I said. "Then you go first." He said. No way what if he said he didn't like me back I'd be crushed and embarrassed. "Uh no you can go." I said. "Please I'd rather you go." He said taking my hands in his. "Ugh fine, look okay so you know you and i have...been married a while...and we've been spending all this time together...and we are going to break up and you know..."

"Uh-huh.." He urged me to continue. "Well i like being here with you okay? I like you and i don't want to break up. I want to date you. I mean we can still get the annulment if you want and keep dating or stay married and see where this goes..." The grin on his face was so big. "Are you kidding me!? That's what i was going to say or something along those lines. I have something to show you. I did something crazy on the hopes that you felt the same way i did. Now if this is too crazy you just tell me and I'll take it back." He said taking my hand and leading me outside to his tour bus.

"Oh no please tell me you didn't put a crib in here..." I said. "As much fun as that would be trying, no i didn't." He led me up the steps and to the back of the bus. He had removed all of the bunks. On the right side he had moved his recording studio. On the left side he had put a sewing machine. He had screwed it down. On the back was a bulletin board with pins. The right had threads and bobbins of every color. The left had other sewing things I'd need. The back had a big bed.

"But wait, where will your band mates stay?" I asked. "In there own bus, i want you all to myself." He said and i shivered. "Come on, let's go see if this bed is as comfortable as they promised." He said. I pulled his hand. "Wait, look i really appreciate this. So you want us to stay together?" I asked. "Yea, and i want you to work on your second line while i tour. I know leaving you behind will be too hard. And i finally figured out what it is you've been talking about. I finally found something i want more than the music." I beamed so happy he felt the same way i did. Every time i thought about what i wanted in a husband it was Hunter and i couldn't imagine leaving him. "So what does this mean?" I asked. "Well I like being married to you. I like calling you my wife. So if you'll have me can we stay married and do our big wedding in the fall?" He asked. "Yes of course I was hoping you'd say that! You're my home." I said wiping my eyes.

"So is it just me or have we been almost about to kiss several times recently?" He asked to beak the tension. "Oh it's not just you and honestly if you knew some of the things I thought.." I slapped my hand over my mouth. "Don't do that, it's cute knowing you have dirty thoughts about me." But my face was red. "And if it makes you feel any better, the things I've thought about you and those boy shorts..." He bit his knuckles his eyes on fire. "And the thought of getting you out of that shirt again..." "hold up there Romeo...lets not rush this okay?" I asked. "Deal." I led him to bed and sat down.

                    "Hey you're right this is comfortable!" I said. "And per your request were gonna take it slow with some kissing." He pulled me to him and my lips crashed into his finally. It wasn't a challenge to see if we could, it wasn't a posed shot it was real. "I love you!" I said. "I love you too."

                                                                ***********************************
"Thanks for making dinner." Said Hunter biting into his slice his of pizza. "No problem, how's the album coming?" I asked. "Great I think everything is going right on track how's the line?" He asked. "Well I finished the flower girls dress and I started on my top I had to give my fingers a break. So I went and got fabrics for my line. I've sewn two outfits already I'm going to do twelve pieces in this collection I think." I said. "Great, my mom wants to know when she can come up." He said.

               "I'd love that, now that we're not lying. Tell her to come!" I said. "Okay I'll do that." He smiled. "Speaking of mother's calling mine wants to know when we'll be back for the bridal shower." I said. "Oh...well let's see two weeks from now? That'll give em time to get invites out but let me check." Hunter had a calendar on his phone. His manager put dates in and Hunter could put dates in so each person knew what he was supposed to be doing. "Looks free. But only two days maybe if we fly it'll give us more time." He said. "Perfect." I smiled.

           "Are you nervous?" He asked. "Not anymore now that we're not lying." I said. We finished up pizza and got ready for bed.

          "So...." He said. "Look Gabby said she'd give us two days." I whined. "Well I was gonna give us two hours!" He said. "What two hours really?!" I squeaked. "What? You're hot!" He said matter of factly.

         I wrapped my arms around him with every intent to go to sleep. "Crap!" He was shirtless. I heard him chuckling. He ran his hands up my legs sending chills up my body. He pulled my nightgown over my head. Well so much for my resolve.
