You promised the World

Chapter 6&7

   After the show was over and I was completely shell-shocked I went to find Henry.

   "Cute little stunt you pulled up there," I said leaning against the door frame to the backstage, folding my arms over my chest. I was on cloud nine, what girl wouldn't be with this guy? 

   Not only did he seem genuine but he took risks and didnt care what anyone thought.  If I didnt find him so attractive, I'd most definitely want to be his friend. I cherish my friendships, bonds and memories that you'll make with people that make you feel at home. My father always said a home isnt a place its who you hold in your heart. No one can take that away from you.

   "I heard the song on the radio last night," he said setting down his guitar and walking up to me, stuffing his hands in his pocket. "Made me think of you."

   "You think of me?" I bit my tongue nervously.

   His eyes searched mine, "Do you not think of me?" You have no idea...

   I reached for his hand and tugged him forward, "Vera wants to meet ya."

   I pulled him through the crowd noticing some snarky looks from some girls we passed. Vera and Dixie left the table and were at the cafe bar talking to Raegan.

   "So this is the famous Vera," Henry smiled bringing in Vera for a hug.

   "You've heard of me?" Vera took in every inch of him giving me a nod of approval.

   "Of course," he said. "How'd you guys like the show?"

   "Loved it."

   "Especially the last song, I wish Finn would sing to me," Dixie sighed.

   "Aye? I'll give him some lessons for ya."

   "I might take you up on that offer."

   "You ladies don't mind if I steal Marisol for the rest of the night?"

   "Oh no," Vera shook her head. "She is all yours!"

   "Ya sure V?" I asked.

   "You act like we don't live with each other," Vera smacked her lips. "Just take care of her or you'll be meeting my five little friends."

   "And mine," Dixie added giving me a wink. "Text me okay?

   It's like I left Hawaii and suddenly everything has changed. I wasn't complaining, it's just all so odd. "Sure," I said.

   Vera gave Dixie a proud smile, maybe Vera had something to do with this. I'll find out tonight. "It was nice meeting you again," Henry said to Vera.

   "The pleasure is mine."

   Finally escaping from the loud noise I said, "you didn't tell me you could sing like that."

   "I told you I sing," he shrugged casually as we walked down the sidewalk side by side. "I still have yet to hear you sing."

   "And you won't," I laughed. Just one more block and I'll be home, night over. "I can borrow Veras car and pick you up in the morning."

   "How does 12 sound?" He asked as we stopped in front of home.

   "Good," I said looking up at him feeling those butterflies return as he scooped me into a bare hug.

   I looked up our faces inches apart and I knew he was about to kiss me...

   "Mar," Lucas.

   I pulled away from Henry to find Lucas stumbling out of his truck, great looks like he had an interesting night. "Hey Luc," I smiled.
