Still Falling (A Hunter Hayes FanFic)

Chapter 26

Toni's POV

The alarm clock screams in my ear, waking Hunter and I from our blissful sleep. I start to climb out of bed when I feel him tug on my shirt. "Noooo." He groans. I giggle, kiss his nose, and attempt to get up again. His grip on my shirt doesn't loosen.

"Hunt, let go, babe." I command nicely. "Nooo, don't goooo." "Do you want coffee?" I raise an eyebrow at him. He immediately releases my shirt and I laugh, fumbling into the hotel kitchen.

The hotel room is still messy from Hunter's tantrum last night. "Why am I engaged to an idiot?" I say aloud. "Because he's really good looking." I hear behind me. Hunter leans against the bedroom doorway, his eyes grazing the entire room. I laugh again, changing out the coffee filter for a new one and filling the pot with hot water. "I guess..." I mumble, smiling. As I fill the coffee maker with ground coffee, I look down at my engagement ring that sparkles from the newly risen sun shining through the curtains. Every time I look at it, it takes my breath away. It's more than just a ring: it's a symbol of how much he cares. The ring could've been from a gum ball machine at a sports bar and I would've been happy. He means everything to me, and it hope that one day, I can show him that.

"So, how's the future Mrs. Hayes on this lovely morning?" He asks, taking large strides towards me, but mostly towards the fresh coffee. I sigh happily from the sound of that. Mrs. Hayes. "She's doing okay, how's Mr. Grazen today?" He cringes at the thought of being 'Hunter Grazen' and I can't help but laugh.

Hunter's POV

It's been a crazy few days, but it's time to head back to the States to finish the record and start planning the wedding. I have no idea how to plan a wedding, what specific details go into making a wedding the best day of a girl's life, but I plan on doing whatever it takes to make our wedding the best it can be.

We finish packing up our things and bring everything down to the car to head to the airport. The guys took an earlier flight this morning so we just planned on meeting with them tomorrow to wrap up Storyline.

As we drive to the airport, hands intertwined, I gaze at Nettie's ring and how perfect it looks on her dainty little hand. I can't believe she's mine, or at least she will be soon. I can't wait to wake up every day, knowing that she's not going to leave me, or that she loves someone else. She loves me. I can't wait to buy a quaint little house in the suburbs with white shudders and a huge backyard and a studio for the two of us to create new music. I can't wait to have children with her, to look down at my little girl and see every ounce of Nettie in her. I can't wait to have a son, and teach him how to play the drums, and he'll most likely end up ignoring everything I tell him and just bang on the set until 4am. I can't wait for all the birthdays and the Christmases we'll spend together as a family. I want a life like that, and I'll do anything to make it happen.

"Hunter, look out!"
