After the fight with that little hussy, Chiles, Justin was tired and ready to go to bed, but unfortunately for her, she had made plans for a little late night rendezvous with the man who sets her heart aflutter. After pulling into the trailer park, she went into the airstream and turned a movie on the tv, waiting for Oakley and Beau to go to sleep. About an hour into the movie, she knew that her sister was asleep. She wasn't sure about Beau, but at this point she was late and couldn't really wait any longer. Turning the tv off, she grabbed her house keys and headed out the door.
They made plans to meet at a small tree just a little ways away from the trailer park, so it didn't take her long to make the walk. As he pulled into the parking lot, she walked to his truck and slid in, looking around his truck before they pulled out of the parking lot. As he heard her get in, his head turned towards her, a big smile on his face. "Hey, baby. You look beautiful, as always." Hearing his new pet name for her always put a smile on her face, which he soon interrupted by placing his lips over it.
Their kiss was a long one, a short moan slipping into his mouth from deep within her throat as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. "Mmm, I'm sorry it took me so long to get here. Oakley and Beau took forever to go to sleep…" Brantley shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. "You shouldn't have to be sneakin' around, Justin. I shouldn't even be askin' you to do this. You're an awesome girl, Justin Gunn… And you deserve a man who ain't engaged to someone else." Biting her bottom lip, she sighed and nodded her head, a single tear falling from her eyes. "Then how about we make the most of our last night together?"
There was a small hotel a little ways from the trailer park, and that was where they headed. He had her check into the hotel, knowing that if he was to do it, he would be recognized and this little meeting would get around to everyone. As they walked into the room, they held hands, looking on the outside like the normal couple that they longed to be. As they entered the room, he turned to her and gave her a shy smile, making her heart pound harder in her chest. "I wanna do right by you, Jus… And I wanna do right by Jana. I don't want this to be our last night together, but I want it to be our last night together like this… The way you make me feel… I ain't never felt like this with her, Jus. The first time I ever laid eyes on you, I knew that you were gonna be my downfall. The way you hold yourself, and your confidence is just a sight to behold, one that I wanna be lookin' at for a long time."
Her eyes filled with water, and she looked up at him, not knowing what to say, but speaking anyway. "Are you tryin' to tell me that you wanna make an honest woman outta me, Brantley Gilbert? I don't want to be the reason that you and Jana break up… I don't wanna be known as a home wrecker, even though I guess that's what I really am…" He took her face between his hands, shaking his head as he kissed her hard on the lips. "You ain't no home wrecker, Justin Gunn… You're the girl who stole my heart, and I wanna be with you. If Jana loves me the way she says she does, she'll be happy that I'm happy."
His words meant so much to her, bringing her to a happy place that she had never quite been to before. As tears poured from her eyes, he wiped them away with his thumbs before she felt her lips being pulled up to meet his once more. This kiss was without a doubt the most passionate kiss she had ever shared with anyone in her life, and what followed gave the kiss a run for it's money.
She knew she didn't have a long time, but as they lay there in the rented bed, covered in a thin sheen of sweat, panting hard, and spent, she couldn't help but snuggle into him. As they lay there, conversation drifted off to what was going to happen between them, and she felt better about what he said. "I'm just gonna have to break it to Jana that she ain't the girl for me. I'm gonna try to leave you out of it, Jus… But she's gonna know. She ain't stupid. Ever since I met you, I've been happier than I've been in a long time… If somethin' happens and she comes at you, just walk away, baby. I know it'll be hard, but you're gonna have to do it. I just hope that she knows better than to come at a girl like you." She smiled, nuzzling his bare chest as she snuggled tighter into him. "I'll be the bigger woman and walk away. I don't want to hurt the girl any more than I already have." He nodded his head, kissing the top of her's gently before shifting to get out of the bed. "I gotta get you home before that sister of yours wakes up and kicks my ass… I'll talk to Jana when the time's right. I promise, Justin… I'm gonna do right by you."
It didn't take her long to get dressed, and after they were both ready and shared a few more stolen kisses, they were climbing into his truck and on their way back to the trailer park. Upon pulling up, she leaned over to his side of the truck, kissing his lips passionately before turning and climbing out. On the way up to the airstream, she felt like she was being watched, and when she looked up, she realized why. Standing right outside her front door, smoking a cigarette, was none other than Beau Hutton. With wide eyes, she nearly halted her step, realizing that she was caught. Seeing the look on his face, she let out a heavy sigh and walked onward, readying herself for the ass chewing of a lifetime from someone who thought of himself as her big brother.
