Honey Bee
Blake Shelton
This is Kate's way of telling Rick that she loves him. Happens a couple months after the morning after.
"Rick, I have been thinking about us, and you know that I am not good at this stuff. But these feelings piling up won't give me no rest. This might come out a little crazy a little sideways, yeah maybe. I don't know how long it will take me but I will do my best." She says as he stands in front of her.
"I want you to be my soft and sweet and I will be your strong and steady. Can you be my glass of wine, and I be your shot of whiskey? Because you are my sunny day, I hope to be your shady tree. If you will be my honeysuckle, I will be your honey bee."
He tried to say something as I could see tears starting to roll down his cheeks, but I shook my head no, wiped the tears away and started again.
"That came out a little country, but every word was right on the money. And I have you crying right back at me. Now hold on, because I am not done. There is more where that came from. You know I am just having fun but seriously…" I said before feeling tears roll down my own face.
"If you will be my Louisiana, I will be your Mississippi. If you'll be my Little Loretta, I will be your Conway Twitty. You are my sugar, baby and I am your sweet iced tea. But most of all you are my honeysuckle, and I will be your honey bee."
I looked up at him and he smiled back down at me. And this time when he tried to talk, I let him.
"Your kiss just said it all. And I am glad we had this talk. Nothing left to do but fall in each other's arms. You could have just said, 'I love you'. You could have written me a line or two. But all you know to do is speak right from heart."
"I love you Rick."
"I know you do. Because even though you didn't say it, everyday that you stayed with me, I just knew that you did. And just know that I love you too."
"I know you do, and I will never forget."
"I know you won't. Now tell me this, since when do you like country?" He asked.
"I don't really. But that is just what it sounded like. So that is what I said."
"And what you said was definitely amazing. Just like you."
"You really think that I am amazing?"
"Yes, if I didn't, then there would not be a book series based on you."
"You know that it isn't just based on me. It is based on you too."
"No, Kate. It is based on us." He said as he smiled and pulled her in for a long hug.
"I am glad there is an us." She admits and looks up at him.
"Me too." He says as they lock lips and walk off into the rest of their lives together.
