This is just a short chapter next one is where it will all kick off. Any feedback is appreciated. Xx
She had drove out the driveway in her sisters car without anyone caring or noticing. Looked like all of the press had gotten bored and left. She flicked the radio on and Faith Hill blared out as she sang along. Then it was the news cast, she could hear herself reciting her statement. Quickly she flicked the channel again, and there was his voice singing You're The Kinda Trouble. She got comfy as she listened to his soothing voice. When the song finished the radio presenter announced Deacon's name. Then he started to tell a story about them from back in the day. How one time he had met them yadda, yadda, yadda. How he knew she wouldn't marry Luke cause he had met her and Deacon once. Blah, blah, blah.
"Oh shut the hell up." She announced into the empty car. How would he know when she didn't even know herself? She felt irritated until she heard the first few chords of the next song. She knew instantly it was Deacon strumming as Postcard from Mexico started playing, God they were all over the radio tonight. She felt relaxed instantly as she listened to their voices blending remembering when they performed that song how it felt when he looked at her. She remembered the day they wrote that song she couldn't get enough of him and they had spent all day in bed. How easy it all was then. No children, no ex's, no rehab. She wondered if he would still look at her like that tonight when she turned up on his doorstep. When she had been barely older than Maddie she believed that he would be her one and only..forever. Which had been true for the first ten years they were together. No body could turn her head. But..her first time with Teddy had been about spiting him after he went back to rehab yet again. She knew as soon as she had agreed to go back to Teddy's that night she would regret it. She must of lay there for all of five minutes after he rolled off of her before jumping up grabbing her stuff and getting out of Teddy's apartment. She sobbed for the rest of the night feeling sorry for herself regretting her actions. To that point she had only ever been with Deacon and it had felt wrong and unnatural being with Teddy. She had split up with Deacon but she hadn't stop loving him, worrying about him. He was experienced when they met but had never slept with anyone else their entire relationship she knew that to be true. Well not until she had gone and married Teddy and announced her pregnancy. Which she couldn't judge him for but she hated seeing him with anyone else on tour. It felt like a punch to her gut. The first year was real bad to the point she was clinically depressed. She would sneak out of Teddy's bed and sleep in the guest room so she could cry herself to sleep most nights yearning for him. But she had to keep going she had Maddie and she came first now. Deacon wasn't her concern..but she couldn't stay away from him. Emotionally she needed him and professionally. They managed to work out a friendship that had satisfied their need for one another. There was boundaries in place that were never crossed but they did a lot of cuddling and talking. She remembered fondly. They loved each other and that fact would never not be true. She had to stop thinking about way back when. She had to concentrate on right here, right now. So this was it. She thought as she pulled up outside his house. Déjà vu. She swallowed hard thinking about what she wanted to say. Wondering if it was going to be ok. She took a breath and opened the door, slamming it closed she hit the lock button on Tandy's Merc key. She slowly climbed the stairs and as she looked up, there he was opening the door looking straight at her. She felt sheepish and shy and then she blurted out.
"Hey." She said feeling silly. He made her feel that way just looking at her like that. She could feel everything she wanted to say melting under his gaze. He knew why she was here and damn why did she need to look so gorgeous as she did right now? Cause that's what his Rayna did she didn't have to try. She just was.
