The Amethyst Ring (A Hunter Hayes Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

                                 Jinger's POV

It's been a little over 2 months since the CMA'S when Hunter announced that we were a couple. It's been a little tough but for the most part it's went over a little better then I thought it would. His fans can be so sweet. I'm constantly getting little comments from them on twitter and such. Right after the CMA'S Hunter and me got down to the business of writing and recording my album. It was a pretty small project. Just me and Hunter did the music. He got his producer Dann to produce it, we helped with it though. Along with a couple other people here and there there couldn't have been more then 10 people working on it. Me and Hunter played wrote all the songs together. I played most of the music on it. Acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin, violin, piano and then with a little help from Hunter and Dann on the techniques, resonator guitar. The drums, bass, steel guitar and the little bit of accordion I wanted on one song Hunter played. After 2 and a half months of hard work we got my 9 song debut album. We finished everything up 2 days ago. We sent my first single to the radio like 3 weeks ago. It's got a decent response so far luckily.  And finally, me and Hunter are going on tour together in about 2 weeks, we're kicking off right here in Nashville. I'm so excited for the tour. My parents got me an aqua Fender Stratocaster for Christmas so I can't wait to use that on tour too. I have my own band now too. I love all of them, they're so cool. We just had an audition right here in Nashville. I'll introduce them all now.

My guitar player Annie Austin is 19 and talented beyond her years. She just moved to Nashville last year from Alabama to pursue music.

My bass player, David Grant is 23 and just graduated from music school in North Carolina and moved here looking for a music job.

Cassie Hemston, my drummer is 20 and has lived in Nashville her whole life and is one of the goofiest people you'll ever meet.

Elijah Timmons is my mandolinist is 24 and is from Missouri but heard about the audition and traveled to try out. He's awesome on that mandolin too.

And finally my pianist, Madalynn Paxton is 21 and had been traveling around and was in Nashville whenshe heard about this and tried out. She doesn't just play piano insane either, that girl can freaking pick a banjo like a boss. Anyway back to everything else. Tomorrow is my birthday. I'm walking out of the university to Isabelle's car for her to take me home when I see Hunter's car parked in front. I walk down and he rolls down the window. "Hey! I told Isabelle I was gonna pick you up." "Oh! Well then..." I get in the car. "...What exactly are we doing Mr Hayes?"

"Taking you out to the park for a little." It may be cold but I love going to the park anytime of the year. We get to the park and as we're walking I snuggle into his arm thats wrapped around me. "Soo tomorrow is your birthday and I want to take you out for it. Sound good?"

"Yes of course! I'd love that! Where are we going?"

"The Whiskey Kitchen?"

"Yes. Sounds great."

"Alright." We walk around the park for a bit longer and then he takes me home. He puts a soft kiss on my cheek before he leaves, warming my cold face. Could he be anymore perfect? The next day he picks me up at 5 and we head out for my birthday dinner. We walk in and it smells great. Twards the end of dinner he asks me, "So how's your birthday dinner so far?"

"Absolutely perfectly. Because I'm with you." He blushes and we get on with our dinner. He seems to make everything perfect...

                                 Hunter's POV

We finish up Jinger's birthday dinner and I head to her place to take her home. I walk around and get her fift out of the car then. "Hunter Easton Hayes! What is that!? It's huge!" She says.

"Just your present." I say with a mischievous smirk. We walk up to her apartment and we sit down on the couch and I have her open it. Inside she finds a Taylor Koa acoustic guitar. She gasps and pulls it gently out. "Oh my gosh Hunter. It's gorgeous. I can't even begin to thank you." I remember her saying how she loved koa guitara before and she could use another acoustic so I got her this one. She thanks me over and over again. After a little while it's getting late so I decide I should head home. She grabs my hand as I'm walkibg to the door before I can leave and pulls me in for a kiss. It starts out soft and gentle but it turns into a more passionate kiss. As we're kissing a feeling flutters in mg stomach, an unstoppable hunger I can't settle. I move off her mouth to the corner of lips then to her jaw then to her neck. I need more though. I move down to the base of her neck and slowly inch off her cardigan thats over top of her strapless dress, revealing her bare arms and shoulders. I move back up to her lips and start to take my jacket off when she gently pushes me away. She takes a second to catch her breath then says "Hunter. Please. We're going to go to far. I don't want that yet. I made a promise to myself and to God to stay pure until marriage. I'm not going to break that for anyone." She says it kindly and sweetly but with a firm, absolute seriousness to it. "I understand. I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable at all." I say gently holding her hands. "Thank you,  and it's fine,  you didn't really."

"Good. So... goodnight Jinger. Happy birthday."

"Thank you. Goodnight Hunter." I walk back to my car and drive back home. I don't know what came over me. I should not have acted like that. I feel bad for pushing her out of her zone. I hope she knows I'll wait for her. As long as I have too. I love her that much...

                                 Jinger's POV

I feel bad for pushing Hunter away from me. I mean that comes with the territory of having a boyfriend but I want to wait. I'm not mentally and emotionally ready for..."That" yet. But on the other hand I still can't believe he got me that for my birthday present!  I'd always loved those so much. I go to sleep thinking of him...

The next day around noon Hunter shows up at my apartment. He comes in, hugs me and I tell him to come sit down. We head into the kitchen and sit down at my kitchen table across from each other and he takes my hands in his. "Jinger. About last night...I'm sorry for going that far. That close. I was impulsive. And I want you to know I don't hold anything to you for it. I want whatever you want." I'm taken aback. Everyday he amazes me more. I can't believe he cares that much. That he'd sacrifice what he originally wanted for what I want. "Thank you Hunter. I thank God that he's given me someone who cares so much about me."

"I do too. And I really do Jinger. I love you.  And I'll wait as long as you need...I got you this as a promise."

He pulls out a black ring box and hands it to me. It take it and open it. Inside is a silver ring in the shape of a flower with the words "Love" on one side of the flower on the band and "Waits" on the other. "I got you a purity ring. I got one for me too." He shows me a plain silver band on his left hand middle finger with the same words inscribed on it. I hold out my hand to him and he slips on mine on the same hand and finger as his. "Thank you Hunter. This means so much to me." We chat for a while and then he gives me a gentle kiss and leaves. I've said it so many times before but there's has never been a more perfect man...
