What did we do?

A wild weekend

     I finally had all of my clothes completely sewn. They were tailored to each girl and everything was ready to go. I had them in my garment bags lined up in the closet. I had gone over every single detail. There was nothing else i could do but worry i guess. And trust me i would. But not tonight. Tonight we party.

     "What exactly happens at a CD release party?" I asked Hunter while getting ready in our room. I was looking in the mirror. My black dress fit me like a glove. It had sparkles all over. The v neck dipped just a hint. The spaghetti straps weren't falling down and the dress went to the floor with a slit up to the middle of my thigh. I was fiddling with this necklace. "Here let me help you." He said pulling my hands down. He handed me a box. "Whats this?" I asked my eyes lighting up. "Something for you. I'm so amazed at you and all the work you've put in on your line. And i just love you." He said. I took the box and opened it. "Oh Hunter it's beautiful!" I gasped.

        The pendant was shaped like a tear drop. And it was huge and real. I guess i would have to get used to that. I never really worried about the money part of it. It just was there but didn't really affect me.  I guess it really should. We shared a bank account now. He helped me put it around my neck. I turned around. "What do you think?" I asked. "You look beautiful!" He said in awe. "Thank you, and you look pretty handsome if i do say so myself." I said. "Well thank you. And to answer your earlier question. So Riley will play two songs. Then i'll play like five from the new album. Everybody will be there. Anybody who had a hand in this album and all the big wigs." He said.

          "Should i be nervous?" He asked. "Not at all my beautiful wife. This is going to be a fun night. And they'll feed us a dinner of course. Pretty good food if i do say." He said. I slipped my phone and some lip gloss into my clutch. "Ready to go?" I asked. "Yes mam'." He said extending this hand for me to take.

          "You know i just want to point out...that it's okay for us to be late. It's my party." Hunter said wrapping his hand around my waist. "Really?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "What? I'm not wrong. They make songs about this." He said. "Name one." I said. "Chris Young, seeing your black dress hit the floor...Or how about." I put my hand up. "I said name one. Okay point taken. But we can't be late to your party it's your party." I said. He chuckled. "Fine next time we have to go out, don't look so dang sexy." He said pulling me to him. I giggled. "Oh is that so?" I asked. "It's so." He said leaning his head down. "And you smell so good..." I leaned my head back on instinct.

             "We really can't do this right now." I said. "But that's no fun!" He argued. "I know, but we do need to go." I said. "Fine, i suppose you're right. But nothing you say is going to make me stop pouting." He said. "Well you know when we get back we'll need to shower..." I said. "So? Don't we always need to shower?" He asked. "Yes, but you know i might need help getting clean." I said. "I'd rather help you get dirty....oh...OH!" He said catching on. "Done, so done. Let's go. We gotta go to the party don't wanna be late. The sooner we get there the sooner we can leave." He said pulling my arm and me out of the condo.

       "Slow down you big goof ball." I said giggling. He led me down to his car and we got in and left. We pulled into the venue thirty minutes later. It looked beautiful all lit up though. The guest list was exclusive and i suppose it should be who knows who might show up otherwise. We were invited into a huge ball room with a stage at the font and all of Riley's equipment ready to go. People were mingling about. Then at the back of the room were dozen's upon dozen's of tables with fancy table cloths ready to go.

       We had to people mingle for like thirty minutes. Polite smiling. How are you. The album is great. I'm so glad i got to work with you. Thank you. By the time Riley was set to go on. I was glad because we could sit down and start the first course. My feet were a smidge sore in the heals but they went great with the dress.

          They started setting up Hunters equipment while we finished dessert.  Riley came and took a seat at our table finally able to eat. "You did so a great job." I said smiling. "Thank you! I'm so stoked to get to go on tour with you Hunter!" Said Riley. Once i found out Riley was single i couldn't wait to tell Taylor. She was exited and once i told him he was too. They are going to both be coming to my fashion show so they'll finally get to meet.

           Once Hunter's equipment was set up he grabbed his guitar and his band joined him on stage. We all clapped politely as he stood in front of the microphone.  "I just wanted to take a moment to tell a few people how much a appreciate them. To my band here for always backing me up. For my label who's supporting me with a three CD deal. I'm so excited to play you guys some stuff from wild blue part one. To everyone who had a hand in this record from the mixers to the genius behind the cover art thank you! Also wanted to say thank you to my beautiful wife for supporting me through my madness i couldn't have done this without you!"

        Hunter started singing and i enjoyed every minute of it. I still could not believe how talented he was. 

 "Standing at the edge of the unknown where the wild blue sky begins                                                           This is where I take all my Sundays I've saved and I cash them in                                                                   I close my eyes, cut the cord, drop the chain, and I shed my skin                                                                     It's funny how you don't know you can fly                                                                                                           Till you finally catch the wind"

          After he had sang five songs from the new album he came back to the table. We had more talking and greeting to do. But it was becoming second nature to me. I didn't mind the eyes on me because sometimes they just were. I knew i was second fiddle to Hunter and should be but i knew sometimes little ol me got some attention and honestly i was grateful for it. It was a good dry run for my line coming out. People might want to interview me at some point and now i knew i'd be ready. Finally the party started winding down and people left. We to be polite were one of the last few to leave.

        Once we got home i was more than ready to get out of the dress. I'm all for dressing up but truth me told i prefer my sweats. I hung it back in the closet and walked back out. I jumped. Hunter was standing there in his underwear. "Well you got undressed fast." I said. "Yup, don't think i forgot about what you said." I rolled my eyes putting my hands on my hips. "Maybe i'm tired." I said shrugging. "To tired for all this? Please." "You're being awful cocky  i'm just not feeling it." I said turning around to go back into the closet.

            "I'm just kidding with you." He said putting his arms around my waist. "I love you." He said. "Thanks for being with me tonight. You're my rock and my better half." He said. "Awe thanks babe." I said. "I tell you all of this so that you know. It's not just sex for me. I'm making love to you. I know that sounds cheesy trust me i heard it when i said it. But you should know. I'm gonna go jump in the shower." He said turning. "Wait, i'll join you." I said trailing after him. "Thanks, i like you." He said. "You too." I said smiling.
