Kick the Dust Up

Chapter 3

( Alene's POV )
I woke up to the sound of the bathroom door sliding shut.
" Shhhh! She's still sleeping! " I heard Luke say. ' Aww he's so cute! ' I thought. I rolled out of bed and snuck out of Luke's bedroom and tip-toed into the bathroom to fix myself before Luke saw me. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed, I can't believe yesterday's events. I didn't have to use the bathroom so I fixed my hair and splashed water in my face so I didn't look all sleepy. I went to grab my phone out of my pocket but then realized it was in Luke's bedroom. Shit. I snuck back in there and grabbed it. I turned it on and saw that it was 10:00 already! I never sleep this late! I walked out of Luke's bedroom and everyone was staring at me. Everyone, Luke's whole band and crew. Oh hell what's wrong. Luke was wearing a light green V-neck and black sweatpants.
" Hey beautiful! " Luke said breaking the silence. He was cooking breakfast so he laid the pan down and came over wrapping his arms around me. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his back and laid my head on his chest.
" Good morning. " He whispered in my ear. God this man is turing me on right now!
" Good morning. " I said back. By now everyone was back to what they were doing. Kent was on his phone, Carter was playing guitar for Sophia, and everyone else was watching TV. I sat on the counter and watched as Luke attempted to make breakfast.
" Here. " I said taking the pan of bacon away from Luke " Let me do that " I laughed.
" Thanks " Luke chuckled. " Is there anything I can do? " He asked.
" Uhh... can you pour the drinks? " I asked.
" Sure! " Luke said inthustiasticlly running to the fridge. I laughed and continued until I went through a whole package of bacon. By then Luke was done pouring orange juice and came over sitting on the counter next to the stove. It took him so long because he spilled it a couple times and had to clean it up. I put all the bacon on a plate to cool. Then cracked half a dozen eggs in one pan and the other half in the second pan. Luke and I talked while I finished up and put the eggs on like 20 plates. I then placed the bacon on each one and Luke had some fruit in the fridge so I put that on them too. I put the last piece of bacon down and Luke grabbed me.
" Your very pretty. " Luke said.
" Thanks? " I laughed.
" Your very pretty, would be an understatement... " He said. " Along with beautiful... " By now I am probably blushing my ass off and I knew he could tell.
" Your beyond gorgeous. " He finished.
" Luke... No I'm not " I said. He gave me a puzzled look.
" Baby. Don't even joke like that " he said.
" But Luke I'm... " He cut me of by pressing his lips against mine. I could really feel the sparks now and I know he did. We pulled away for air and Luke rested his forehead against mine.
" Ok love birds. " Kent laughed. Everyone got up and took their plates outside but Luke still held me close to him. He let me go and grabbed the two plates left and I grabbed our drinks. We headed outside and sat down at the picnic tables. I sat next to Sophia and she gave me a smirk.
" So, how is Luke in bed? " She whispered.
" What? I just met him! " I laughed. " How is Carter? " I whispered smirking.
" Oh, he's good. He's really good. " She giggled.
" Eww " I giggled.
" You know, Carter sings in his sleep. " She said. I almost choked on my orange juice. Luke looked at me. I smiled at him before turning back to Sophia
" What!?! " I laughed.
" I know! " She laughed. " He is pretty good though. " She laughed.
" What's so funny? " Luke asked.
" Carter singing in his sleep. " I laughed. Luke started laughing too. Everybody looked at us.
" What's so funny? " Carter asked.
" Umm... Alene said something funny. " Sophia blurted out. Of course she would say that I did. Carter looked at me, and so did everyone else.
" Umm... Luke is the one that told me. " I said. Everyone turned to Luke.
" Umm... well... " He said. " Uhhh... what do eskimos get from sitting on a block of ice? Polaroids. " Luke said. Sophia and I laughed so hard we couldn't breathe. Everyone looked at Luke.
" Wow Luke. That's sad. " Carter said.
" You don't even know. " Luke said. I looked up at him " Thanks " I laughed.
" You owe me " He said kissing my forehead.
We finished eating and Luke pulled me back to inside his bus. I changed back into my clothes from last night.
" Let's go on a ride " Luke said.
" Sure " I answered grabbing my bag then taking his hand that was stuck out for me. He helped me into his truck and ran over to his side jumping in. He started it up and went out of the back entrance.
" Do you know any backroads around here? " He asked.
" Mhm sure do. Ya know I do happen to live here. " I laughed.
" Oh really, that's interesting! " Luke laughed. I gave him the directions to some backroads that lead to a felid. As we drove Luke looked at me through the corner of his eye.
" What? " I asked.
"Are you going to sit over there the whole time? " He asked.
" I guess not. " I slid across the bench and sat in the middle. Luke grabbed me and pulled me to the warmth of his body. I got to thinking. He is leaving in like 1 to 2 hours. This is only a one night stand. How could I be so stupid. He probably is taking me to tell me he is leaving. But he is so sweet. He wouldn't do that. He is to... to... to Luke. Well, I met Luke before so this is different. Right? But this is Luke Bryan, and I'm just me. All of this thinking was overwhelming me and when I get overwhelmed I cry. Keep it together Alene! Luke looked down at me and I didn't want him to see me so I looked away.
( Luke's POV )
I was planning on asking Alene to be my girlfriend, which would mean she would go on tour with me. We stopped at a red light that was about 1min from the field she told me about. I looked down at her and could tell she was on the verge of tears. She looked away.
" What's wrong? " I asked her.
" Nothing... " She mumbled. The light turned green so I pulled on to the back roads and raced to the field. I opened my door and pulled her out of my side. I let the tail gate down and we got on & I pulled her into my arms.
" Babe.. " I said.
" Luke. Is this just a one night stand? " She asked.
" What? No! " I told her. " I wanted to bring you here to talk about that... About us. " I said wiping tears from her face. She stopped crying.
" Oh... I just thought... " she started.
" That I was going to leave? " I asked.
" Yea. " She said nodding her head.
" Alene Johnson will you be my girlfriend? If so will you go on tour with me? " I asked smiling at her.
" Yes! and Yes! " she laughed. I pulled her into a kiss. She jumped up wrapping her legs around my waste as I spun her around.
" So " I laughed. " Shall we go get your stuff? "
" Yea I guess we should huh. " she laughed wrinkling her cute little nose.
" Mhm. " I chuckled. I helped her into the passenger side of my truck then went around to my side and got in.
" Ok so if you just get on the highway and take that to Highway56 then it's not to far from there. Just a couple right turns. "
" Ok. "
I wrapped my arm around her as we drove to her house.

I pulled into the driveway of a small house that looks just about perfect for Alene. She jumped out before I could even reach my door. She rummaged through her purse looking for her keys and I just looked around. Her house was out farther from the city. Kind of secluded. I followed her up to the porch and watched her punch a key into the door knob. She opened the door and walked in then looking back to me. I swear this is the cleanest house I have ever been in. I wonder what she thinks about my bus? Her house had a country theme to it, like burlap and white paint with crown molding.
" So what are ya thinking? " She asked.
" Your house is very clean, and nice. But what are you going to do with it on tour? " I asked.
" Well, I think I can have one of my friends take it and sell it, then transfer the money to my bank account. " She said.
" That's a great idea. " I laughed plopping down on the couch. " Do you need any help packing? " I asked.
" Nope, but what kind of weather are we going to be in? "
" Honestly I don't really know, but I just packed for all sorts. " I told her.
" Ok thanks. "
" No problem babe. "
