Everything Changes

Chapter Three

*Brantley's P.O.V.*
It was getting late and Payton had to work tomorrow so I suggested that we go to bed she agreed with me and got up. I could tell she was tired her eyes showed it the most. When we got in her bedroom she just started changing like it was nothing I mean it didn't bother me she was just so confident in herself. I changed right there too and she crawled into bed. I got in be and she snuggled right up to me and put her head on my chest. I had both my arms wrapped around her and it didn't take either one of us very long to fall asleep. It felt like she was supposed to be in my arms like they were made for her to be in. I still can't believe that this Payton is the same Payton I used to play with when I was little. She had freckles all over her face, which still does, it was cutest thing ever to my little ten year old brain. It still is to my twenty nine year old brain. She always wore dresses and boots on Sundays, but Monday through Saturday she was jeans or shorts with a t-shirt and her boots. I found myself dreaming about that little freckles face girl who was stealing my heart then she was gone now here we are eleven years later cuddling in her bed. I guess what they say is true "if you love something let it go, and if it comes back it was meant to be, and if it doesn't it never was at all." Well Payton came back to me so that would make this love, but there is no way I'm already in love with this girl two days isn't enough time to get to know each other after eleven years of being apart. I woke up when I felt Payton trying to get out of my grip guess it was pretty tight like I said I'm not letting go anytime soon.

"Where ya tryin to go?" I asked sleep evident in my voice.

"I have to pee." She said half awake. I let her go and waited for her to come back which thankfully she did and cuddled up back where she was.

"Goodnight Brantley." Payton said.

"Goodnight darlin." I said. I felt her smile against my bare chest and it made me smile.

This girl is my kryptonite I won't be able to be away from her for an entire summer. I won't be able to be away from Dax either that is one grown little kid. I think I'm gonna find out which other singers he really likes and surprise him with a little party with all of them here or at my place which ever Payton would want. I fell back to sleep and dreamt of Payton holding a little pink blanket with our baby girl wrapped up in it, Dax and his little brother sitting on the couch playing video games, and a dog barking at someone's car pulling in the driveway. It was the perfect life I had always dreamt of but was never able to put a face on the woman I was with till now. It was Payton it had always been her, I just never knew it.

~The Next Morning~

*Payton's P.O.V*

Six twenty AM alarms are something I can never get used to. I turned my alarm off and got out of bed then I remembered Brantley was here so I turned around to see him still sleeping. I smiled to myself and decided to let him sleep he didn't have to be up yet. As for Dax and I we had to be up this morning. I went to Dax's room and of course he was sleeping.

"Dax, pst, time to get up baby." I said lightly shaking him.

"Mmmmm, no." Dax said.

"I know baby, but you have to." I said.

"Ugh. I'm up." He said rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"I'm gonna go get dressed. Make sure you're done when I get back. The bus is gonna be at seven." I said walking out of his room. I just got a grumble in response.

The only time my child is a morning person is at ten o'clock. Doesn't matter what time he went to bed the night before ten o'clock is when he gets up. I walked back in my room and Brantley was still sleeping so I went ahead and picked out what I was going to wear today. Being a lawyers secretary meant I had to look very classy. I chose a black dress that fit my body and showed my curved. I work hard to get this body back after having Dax so I'm gonna show it. The dress was strapless and I thought that was a little to riskay for my first day so I put on a denim half jacket to go with it. I don't go anywhere without cowgirl boots unless it's the gym. I sat on the bed and slipped on my dressy boots before I got up I was pulled back into a now awake Brantley.
