I grin at B "how long do you think before someone figures us out? And who will figure it out first?" He chuckles but answers me nonetheless "I don't know Kels and as for the who I would put money on it being Caroline"

I grin nodding "Probably or maybe Lauren those two are crazy observant" B shakes his head with a chuckle "you got the crazy part right"

My phone interrupts my reply as I smirk over at B "told you I'd be getting a phone call"

"Hey Kase" 

"Kelsey Nicole, why the hell did I have to find out from Mama that you and B are back together?" I bite my lip with a laugh looking at B "well Kase, I knew Mama would tell you so I just let her"

I can hear the pout in my sister's voice "but I'm your sister I'm supposed to know these things first... I left Amber a message you will be getting an excited call from her when she gets a chance"

"Oh God I feel like there is going to be a scream involved in her call about it" Kase laughs "probably that woman, even though she dated him has been the one that's wanted the two of you to work it out more than anyone else"

I laugh "oh my god Kase I know you'd think she'd hate me but she doesn't"

"Right? well, I gotta get back to work but we are not finished with this conversation by a long shot Kels!!"

"Fine okay Kase, we will finish this later" 

She hangs up and I shake my head with a laugh "god maybe we should have told her before your mama, saved me from the hell she is going to give me for letting her find out from our mama" Before B gets a chance to answer there is a knock at the door and Lina's voice comes from the other side "Are both of you still alive in there? it's been over an hour since we left you in there" 

I roll my eyes "Yes Lina we are both still alive in here and the door isn't even locked you didn't have to knock"

She opens the door and winks "wanted to make sure everything was decent in here before coming in" I roll my eyes "Lina sweetie, the door would have been locked if something was going to happen but it wasn't so what does that tell you?" 

She shrugs "Well you never know" 

My phone rings again as we start to leave the room, I look at B and Lina "you guys go ahead... I have a best friend to talk to"

I answer the phone as they both walk out of the backroom "Hey" I can hear the excitement in her voice "so I just got Kasey's message is it for real? Are you guys seriously back together?" 

I chuckle at her "yes Amber it's for real,  it just happened about a half an hour ago maybe?"

"YAY!!! I am so happy for you Kelsey!!!! God, it's about time, that man has been crazy about you for years even after you broke up... hell he was still crazy about you when we were together"

I roll my eyes but this one was a playful eye roll "so you've mentioned before honestly, I'm surprised you don't hate me for that" 

"Well, what can I say I knew from the get-go that I would never be able to compete with you Kels and I was proven right when we didn't work out but I'm over it because as you know I am very happily married now... You sound happier"

"I am happy... it's like I can finally breathe, like a weight lifted off my shoulders"

"you both deserve to be happy Kels and it's obvious that the way that was gonna happen is if it was with each other but you two just needed to realize what everyone else already knew"

"Well, we all on know it was stubbornness that was the main issue" "well you certainly are pretty damn stubborn... At this point, I don't know who's worse you or him"

B walks back into the room "Caroline sent me back after you" I roll my eyes "I gotta go, but I'll talk to you later" 


"alright byeeee," I hang up the phone with a  smile.

B chuckles as we walk back through the bus "you know I never thought you and Amber would be friends, I knew Kasey was friends with her but you and her never really clicked" "god I know I never imagined it either but she walked up to me at the store one day when I was home a few years ago and we just struck up a conversation and boom a friendship was born and we've been best friends ever since... Since we have another show here tomorrow night are we doing a bonfire?"

"We are that's why Caroline was sending me after you because they are getting ready to light it" "okay then I'll be out in just a second... I'm stealing one of your hoodies"

B chuckles walking off the bus "of course you are" I go over to his wardrobe area and I pull one of his blue Dragons hoodies out and slip it on hmmm smells just like him. I hope he knows this is my hoodie now.

I step off the bus only to be grabbed by the arm by Lina and pulled over to Laur. Lina grins at me "so spill how did it go? Judging by the fact you are wearing one of his hoodies I'd say very well?"

I give her a playful shove "how do you know it's his... It could be mine" Laur laughs "Kels sweetie that hoodie just about swallows you whole no way you wear a hoodie that big and it not belong to a man" 

I roll my eyes at the two of them "okay fine so I stole one of his hoodies, it's going to be cold and I didn't bring anything but regular jackets"

Things are going to start picking up here soon and at some point, it will be announced that Kelsey is who his songs are about.
