Chapter 6

Harper's P.O.V

We pulled up to the dinner about 15 minutes after we left my house. We walked in and Brantley immediately pulled me over to a back corner booth.
"So we can have more privacy." He answered my unasked question.
"This feels so normal." I told him.
"I know. It feels amazing being back and being with you, even though we aren't together."
"I'm so glad Audrey dragged me to your concert. I have seriously missed you so much." After I said that the waitress came over. It was the same sweet lady from all those years ago that helped me and Brant realize we loved each other. Is this another sign that we should get back together?
"What can I get y'all to drink?" She asked.
"Sweet tea." We both said at the same time.
"I love that y'all are still together and just as in love as all those years ago. It's all in your eyes." We just looked at each other and I could feel my checks blushing.
"Thank you." Brantley managed to say.
"I'll be right back with your drinks and to take y'all's order." She said.
I looked at the menu as she walked away. I continued to look even though I could feel Brantley's eyes on me and I knew what I wanted.
When our waitress came back, we told her what we wanted. When she walked away I didn't have anything to occupy me, so I had to look at him.
"You know, she is right, I'm still crazy about you." He said taking my hand in his.
"I'm still crazy about you too."
I said.
"But you don't want to rush into anything."
"Let's not talk about this. Lets just continue to catch up."
"Okay. Ask away."
"Okay. I'm just gonna go for what's being weighing on my mind since you told me. What happened to your Fiancé?"
"A lot of things happened between us. She used to be an actress before she came into the music business, anyway she ended up sleeping with a director trying to get some part in a movie. Another thing we were complete opposites, we wanted completely different things out of life. And she wasn't you."
"You didn't deserve to be cheated on BG."
"It was for the better. So any near mishaps with exes?"
"I never got serious with anyone after you. I went on dates, but I couldn't make myself stay with them."
"Why?"
"Why didn't you stay with any of with any of your exes?" That silenced him and thankfully our food arrived at that moment.
After a few minutes of silence besides our forks hitting the plates I broke the silence.
"What are we doing after we get done here?"
"I figured we could go back to my place and get the motorcycle out and go see momma." He said.
"Sounds amazing, but I may need to borrow another jacket or hoodie."
"No problem. I like seeing you in my clothes."
We soon finished our food and I reached for the bill but Brantley snatched it away.
"What do you think you are doing?" He asked.
"Paying for my food." I replied.
"I don't think so. It's my treat."
"Fine."
After he paid, we walked back out to the truck and drive back to his house, the whole time his arm was around me. We pulled up to his house and we went in. He went up to his room to get me a hoodie. He came bak down an handed me a black hoodie. I quickly put it on and pulled my hair back.
"You look beautiful." He stated.
"Thank you." I replied while blushing.
"Just stating the truth."
"Ask me again."
"Ask you what?"
"What you asked me last night at the theatre before we came back here."
His eyes lit up before asking, "Harper, will you please give me another chance? Will you be my girlfriend again?"
"Yes, yes." I replied jumping into his arms to give him a kiss.
"I've missed your lips on mine." He whispered after we pulled apart.
"Me too."
"Let's go. I've missed my momma almost as much as I have missed you."
"Okay." We walked out to his garage and he grabbed an extra helmet for me. He placed it on my head before getting his. He walked over to his blacked our Harley and got on and I got on behind him and placed my arms around his torso, feelin his abs.
He went at a semi slow speed down his driveway but as soon as he hit the county road he sped up tremendously. It took us about five minutes to get to Mrs. Becky's house. As soon as Brantley killed the bike momma B and Kolby were outside on the porch waiting to see who Brantley brought home. I took off my helmet and momma and Kolby threw theirselves off the porch and came running toward me yelling my name.
"Is it really you Harper?" They both asked.
"Yes it is." Brantley told them while I embraced their hugs.
We stood there awhile before Brantley spoke up, "Have you not missed me?"
"Of course I have son, but I haven't seen Harper in almost ten years." Momma answered.
"Yeah, Brant I can't help that your mom has missed me more." I said sticking my tongue out at him.
This is where I'm meant to be, with these people. This is home and I know it.
