A Southern Belle Summer

Chapter 6

After waving goodbye to Andrew as he was pulling off, I slowly walked over to Dixie with a smile plastered on my face. I just couldn't help but smile at the thought of Andrew. He was perfect. My age, brown hair, blue eyes, country boy, strong, and he had on nice ostrich skin boots. Which happened to be my deddy's favorite kind of boots. I grabbed Dixie and started walking her over to her stable. I started slowly petting her beautiful brown hair on her neck when a thought hit me that kind of ruined my good mood. Jason. Of course this was to good to be true. I would hurt Jason if I jumped to conclusions with Andrew.

While having a mini panic attack in my head, Mackenzie and Kyle rode up on their horses, both where grinning ear to ear. Once I snapped out of my daze, I walked out of Dixie's stable, to get Duke's saddle off. Realizing the awkward silence, I finally spoke up, "Your brother had to go home to help your mother with something, so I offered to take you home. So when ever you're ready me and Mackenzie can drive you home," I said directing my words to Kyle.

He smiled and replied by saying, "Well I'm ready to go now if yaw are..."

And with that we hopped in my truck Mackenzie and Kyle where sitting in the back, pretty close to each other if I do say so myself. After about 10 minutes of Kyle giving me directions to their house while driving, we finally made it. I stayed in the truck, but had my window rolled down, and told Kyle that I would see him tomorrow. While him and Mackenzie where saying their goodbyes, I was digging through my cd's when I came across an Eric Church cd, and shoved it in. As Kyle gave her a hug he slowly started walking backwards to their doorstep, as Mackenzie stepped into the passenger seat beside me. Eric Church's 'Springsteen' came on and with that my energetic side came out. I started jamming out singing every word...

"When I think about you,

I think about seventeen,

I think about my old jeep,

I think about the stars in the sky,

Funny how a melody, sounds like a memory,

Like a soundtrack to a July Saturday Night,

Springsteen..."

As I said the last word, I heard clapping. I opened my eyes to see Kyle and Andrew standing in front of my car laughing and clapping. While Mackenzie was in the passenger seat, doing the same. I just slowly bent my head down from them, trying to hide my blush from embarrassment. Andrew walked over to my open window and said, "Don't be embarrassed, you sounded great Angel," and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I just smiled slighty, and as he began to back away I just slowly put the car into drive and drove back down there driveway.

Before we had even reached the end of their driveway, Mackenzie started to squeal and kept repeating, "I love him, I love him..." She had the biggest smile I've ever seen plastered on her face.

I then rolled my eyes, and asked, "Why are you in such a great mood, missy..." with a little smirk while meeting her eyes for a few seconds, and then returned them back to the road.

"Ahh! Gray, he's perfect. He's my age, he's gorgeous, he's so sweet, he's very athletic, and did I mention he's gorgeous... ahhhh I just can't help but think I'm falling for this boy way too quickly," she sighed while smiling.

"Well, I was feeling the same way about Andrew, he even told me that we should go out on a date soon, to get to know each other. But, a thought came through my head that ruined my good mood..." Mackenzie looked at me questioningly, "Jason..." I replied.

"Oh yeah," she muttered, "Well I mean it's not like yaw are dating or anything, yaw never even got to talk. So I mean I say lean towards Andrew, but just see how everything goes, you might not even see Jason this summer any." she said trying to cheer me up but not helping. And as off on perfect timing, my iPhone rings, I answer it and put it on speaker. I didn't get a chance to see the number so I just sat it on the console and said, "Hello?"

"Hey Gray, it's me Jason, I just wanted to apologize for the party the other night. I'm sorry those dudes crashed it. But I was just wondering, if you would like to go see a movie with me next Saturday. Before I could even answer, Mackenzie had already replied with, "No can do, it's Grays birthday and I've got her a party planned, but you could come to that, if you'd like to.?" she asked with hesitation.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss my best friends birthday party!" he basically screamed. Mackenzie then said, "Well it's gonna be Saturday night at Grays barn, and it'll be a dancing party with some other stuff, but only like twenty people. Just her main friends and of course the Stringer boys." She said that last point sexily.

My eyes basically bulged out of my head when she said that, he started stuttering, "W-who are the Sringer boys?"

"Well Jason, it has been nice talking to you but we have to go Gray's driving. Bye!" she said quickly and hung up.

"What did you just do!" I screamed. Now freaking out because, I mean I like Andrew and I like Jason. So what the heck am I going to do. "And since when where you throwing me a party??"

"SInce me and Kyle began to plan you one when, you and Andrew left," she said sneakily. By this point we where driving up to my house. We hopped out of my truck and went through the front door considering it was only eight o'clock. We talked to my parents for a few minutes before going upstairs to my room. Once we got upstairs Mackenzie passed out on my bed, while I went to take a quick shower. Thats one reason why I love showers... well really two... I can sing in them, and I can clear my thoughts as the warm water runs over my head, wetting my hair. The only thing that kept entering my mind was 'What am I going to do?'
