Hey guys this is a new story idea I had.. It's based on a dream I had so it may be kinda strange XD


Jacks POV

I stacked up a pile of firewood next to my door. It had been two hours of the slow, monotonous work of splitting it.

I stood back up and wiped the sweat off my forehead, pushing through the screen door on my house. I walked through the living room and into the hallway with bedrooms in it.

My bed was messed up because I had gotten up early to go check my garden. I tossed the comforter back on and straightened it.

I glanced at the clock. It was 4:00. That means I have three hours before the dance. I opened the folding doors of my closet and looked through my shirts. I chose a red and black plaid button down shirt and a clean pair of jeans.

I went to the kitchen and dug through my "junk drawer." I quickly found the boot polish and took it to the deck. My newer pair of boots were by the door and I grabbed them on the way out.

I sat out on the porch polishing my boots for an hour. Once I was finished I dropped them by the door and went to the kitchen to clean up my pickings from the garden today.

I pulled the knife drawer out and got a chefs knife. I had already washed everything. I chopped up the squash and tossed the pieces into a Ziploc bag, sealed it, and placed it into the freezer.

I noticed that Brody's ice packs were still in the freezer. He'd probably want those back.

I'll tell him tonight at the dance.

Brody was my roommate but he got married to Stacy Wiseman so he moved out couple weeks ago.

I ran a hand through my hair. I was getting kinda desperate. I hadn't been in a relationship in two years.

I checked my watch to find that it was six. I hopped in the shower, combed my hair, put on my clothes and went back to the kitchen. I grabbed a can of Mt. Dew ifrom the fridge and slid my boots on under my jeans. I jumped into my silver, mud-splattered Chevy Silverado and pulled out of my driveway.

15 minutes later, I was at the dance.

I tossed the empty pop can into the receptacle (inside joke sorry haha :P listen to Red Solo Cup) and walked inside.

Donna Tobin immediately started flirting with me but I ignored her and went over to where Brody and Stacy were. I'm desperate but not desperate enough to date that.. Ugh.

"Sup man?"

Brody turned around and smiled

"Jack! Not much how bout you?"

"Same. You guys want a watermelon?"

"Sure."

"Remind me after the dance, I have a few in my truck bed."

"M'kay."

"Hey you left your ice packs in the freezer."

"That's where they went!.."

Stacy laughed.

"Yeah. Next time you guys come over you should take em. They're using precious freezer space, haha."

We talked a little while more then the DJ turned on some music. We headed to the dance floor.

I walked over to a group of people. Brody and Stacy were already dancing. I spotted someone new. I had never seen her before. She had straight, honey blonde hair and pretty brown eyes.

She went to get a drink and I followed her.

She asked for a Coke and the concession worker went to get one.

"Hey Bob, Mt. Dew too please!" I called.

The girl looked at me. Bob returned with a Coke and a Mt. Dew. I paid for both.

The girl smiled. "Thanks."

"I'm Jack Anderson." I said, sticking out my hand.

"Kim Crawford." she took my hand and shook it.

"So you're new here?" I asked as we walked back into the main dance room.

"Yeah. I just moved here."

"Cool. I've lived here for like.. Ever."

She laughed.

We sat and talked, drinking the pops for a while.

"You wanna dance?"

"Sure." she said, biting her lip.

We got out onto the dance floor as the DJ turned on "Country Girl" by Luke Bryan.

"You know how to two-step, Kim?"

"Nope!"

"I'll show you."

She smiled.

I grabbed her hands. The sparks flying through my veins felt like electricity.

"Okay, one two," I said stepping forward.

"Okay."

"Now back one."

"Oh, okay, that's easy then. Let's dance!"

We finished that song, and "She's Country" by Jason Aldean.

Finally, a slow song came on. "Crazy Girl" by Eli Young Band. We slow danced to it then took a break from dancing.

"Want another Coke?"

"Yes please. Thanks" she grinned.

I went into the concession place and gave Bob my order.

Brody walked in as I got my drinks. "Two cans of pop? What's up with that, brochacho?"

"Uhh. They're not both for me.. And what the heck is a brochacho?!"

He laughed. "So you found a girl?"

"Yep!"

"Wanna come sit with Stacy and I?"

"Sure lemme ask Kim."

I returned with our drinks.

"Thanks."

"You wanna go sit with my best friend and his wife?"

"Sure!"

We walked over there. Our hands touched and we both blushed.

We sat down and Kim smiled at Stacy.

"Hey I'm Stacy."

"I'm her husband, Brody."

"I'm Kim."

They looked at me.

"What?" I asked putting my hands up. "Y'all already know me."

They all laughed.

We spent the rest of the night laughing, talking, and dancing.

When it was time to go Kim texted her roommate because she needed a ride.

"You know.. I could give you a ride."

"Really? That'd be great."

"Yeah, c'mon."

I had already given Brody the watermelon, so I was set to go.

She sat in the passenger seat and looked at me as I started the truck.

"So.. Wanna exchange numbers?"

She asked, messing with her hair.

"Sure." I smiled and gave her my phone and took hers, entering my name and number. She did the same and we drove off.

Soon we pulled up at her house. I walked her up to the door.

"Thanks for the Cokes and dancing and the ride."

"No problem."

She gazed into my eyes and I was caught in hers. She suddenly leaned in and kissed me on the cheek. She blushed and bit her lip. I got kinda nervous and looked at my watch.

"Well, maybe I'll see you around, Kim."

"Maybe you will." she said with a grin then went inside. I smiled.


That's the end! Just a one-shot I thought of! :)
