  Adam's POV:


I knew Eve probably wouldn't be watching this tv show, or our performance, but I knew she would see it on tv soon. Word would get around that I did this and she would find it on youtube or something. But when I got up there with the band and I saw her in the front row, I was like a kid on Christmas to say the least. That was until I saw her next to Blake with his hand on her thigh. On my woman's thigh? I was going to get to the bottom of that, and fast. There was definitely something going on between them, and it only made me more mad. I got up to the mike and looked Eve right in the eye as I spoke. 

"I'd like to dedicate this song to the girl who has my heart in her little fist, I don't even know how it happened but I'm sure glad it did." I backed up and I started to sing a song I recently wrote for her called 'How'. 

I started out. "I have been searching for your touch, unlike any touch I've ever known. And I never thought about you much till I'm broken down and all alone." That was so true sadly, I thought to myself. 

"Though I don't understand the meaning of love, I do not mind if I die trying. Took you for granted when you lifted me up. I'm asking for your help, I am going through hell. Afraid nothing can save me but the sound of your voice. You cut out all the noise. And now that I can see my mistakes so clearly now, I'd kill if I could take you back, but how?" I sang out the how. 

I never looked away from Eve during the whole song. "I can feel it in my gut, what's going on with him now? Don't patronize me with lies, I'm a man be a woman now." This fit her and Blake perfectly, and I didn't even know that when I wrote it. But it fit now. "I have been bound by the shackles of love, and I don't mind if I die tied up." I watched her reaction as I repeated the chorus, her eyes never left mine. 

"Why must we be so ugly? Please do not think ill of me. Why does the one you love, become the one who makes you want to cry?" I sang out the cry part, and I felt as if I was about to cry. 

"Why?" I looked at her and let all the pain I had been holding back, show. "Though I don't understand the meaning of love, I do not mind if I die trying." I repeated the chorus once more and I felt a tear fall as I closed the song. 

I thanked everyone and as I was getting off stage the host asked Blake if he could sing to his girl better. 

It was a joke but everyone wasn't surprised when he stood up and said "Hell yes I can!" 

He walked up the stage. I rolled my eyes and sat down, this should be good, Miranda wasn't even speaking to him. He was on stage and he was handed a guitar. 

"This one goes out to a special little someone who has been adding a bit of, well spice to my life this past week. If you catch my drift." He winked. 

The audience laughed but I didn't. He wasn't talking about my Eve was he? They weren't... Together right? 

"This song describes our relationship perfectly. I wrote this little number just for my little number." He smiled. 

"Hey girl hey where you going? Come back and sit back down, you look to good to be heading home so early now. Say you gotta work tomorrow, got a lot on your mind. Let me buy another round, girl I think you and I should just drink on it. Put our heads together and think on it. Maybe later on we can sleep on it. But for right now, girl we just need to drink on it. We can talk rocket science, Jesus, or politics." Blake turned and looked over at me, giving me a dirty look. What was that about? 

"Hey your boyfriend cheated on you? Man he sounds like such a prick." 

Oh, that's why. 

"I could use another whiskey, and your cosmos getting low." 

He repeated the chorus again, and I couldn't wait for it to end, he was staring at Eve the whole time and it was pissing me off. They didn't do anything together! Did they? I turned to Jesse as Blake kept singing. 

"I swear, you better tell me what you know about her, Jesse. If you want me to win her back you'll help me." I growled at him. 

He shook his head. "She's going to kill me for this." He mumbled. 

"Just tell me!" I half yelled. 

"She slept with him okay? She's been at his place since she left." He growled back, annoyed at the tension between us. 

I ignored him and I stared at Blake, very pissed off. He just kept singing to my girl. 

"This place is closing down, but I don't wanna quit. We gotta good thing going girl, lets find out what it is and drink on it. Your place or mine girl we can drink on it. Dust off a bottle and drink on it. Feels like were doing something right, lets find a corner of a night where you and I can just drink on it. Put our heads together and just think on it, maybe later on we can sleep on it." He was still smiling at Eve. 

No. That was not okay. 

"But for right we just need to drink on it, might make a memory that we wont forget." He winked at her. 

Okay, it was official. Six two or not, I was kicking his country ass.
