Song: When you think Tim McGraw I hope you think of me By Taylor Swift
When you think Tim McGraw (The first half)
"What's with the red beater?" Marissa tried to stifle a laugh when she seen Alex get out of the beaten up red pick up truck.
Her girlfriend shrugged. "Me and my dad are going to fix it up but it has a great engine, thought it was a good deal. Got a problem driving around in it? Cause I mean you can walk and all." She smiled and kissed the brunettes cheek.
The two lovebirds drove for about an hour before the truck stopped, it got stuck a few times but the girls had fun with it. "I figured with summer coming to an end and since we spend a lot of time with our friends it'd be nice for us to get away."
"That I could have figured out to myself." Marissa smiled at the blonde and got out and looked around. All that she could see was a big field and a barn, although she had to admit the scenery had a beautiful serenity about it. "How did you ever find a place like this?"
Alex smiled and took her hand and started to walk down a path. "This is where I grew up."
"I thought you grew up in Georgia?" The brunette stopped and pointed out in front of her, "aww look its a rabit."
Not a moment later Alex brought Marissa to a clearing of a small pond and they both sat down. "Yes that was a rabit, ain't you ever seen one before." She laughed and little and held Marissa close before pulling out a small radio. Alex in her torn up jeans and blue long sleeve shirt that was rolled up at to her elbows held kissed her girlfriends temple and looked out of the pond. "We are in Georgia, we crossed the state line about a half hour ago."
The sun began to go down a little and cast a pinkish red glow on the sky. A few early stars could be seen over head as the two girls laid back. "You're eyes put these Georgia stars to absolute shame." Marissa smiled and recieved a peck on the lips from her girlfriends.
"I know you call me smooth but babe you got lines like no one I have ever met before." For Alex it was true, no one seemed to get to her the way Marissa did, the butterflies, the long night talks on the phone, something about the girl just brought the light out in her and she was thankful for that. Reaching over she turned on the small radio and grinned when she heard the song.
"Tim McGraw?" Marissa asked with a sheepish smile.
The blonde laughed, "right on, you're learning baby but when you hear Tim McGraw I hope you think of me."
Marissa titled her head up to look at her girlfriend. "Actually I always do and I think I always will."
The two sat and relaxed without much talking for awhile, they simple listened to the small radio Alex had brought and there was something Marissa was dying to tell Alex.
"You alright lil lady." Alex laughed causing her girlfriend to do that same.
"How do you that?" She questioned. "You always know when something is on my mind."
Kissing the top of her girlfriends head the blonde tried to be soothing. "What's on your mind?"
"My parents said I could go back to Newport for school if I wanted and Summer doesn't want to go senior year without me but I don't think I'm going to go because I'd be without you." She blurted out without take so much as a breathe. "Its just the summer was here and now its gone but I don't want to be gone from you."
"Hey," Alex raised Marissa's chin softly with her finger, "you don't have to be without me. For right now we're here and we're with each other and you're going into the lake." She laughed and stood up with Marissa in her arms.
"Oh no, no, no, no!" Marissa screamed through her laughter before finally wiggling loose. She looked at Alex for a second before the girl started to chase her. When she was finally caught she wiggled loose once again. They ran through the fields and finally ran into each others arms. Alex picked her up and spun them around and they shared a soft kiss before falling back and laughing at themselves.
Before long they found themslves running around the field again and Marissa jumped onto Alex' back. "Giddy up partner." She kissed the back of her neck and then flicked her softly, just to be a nuisance. Finally she hoped down and Alex looked at her. "What? No don't give me that look, I'm weak. Fine, okay." She huffed. Turning around Alex hopped up on to her back and Marissa almost fell over but the two laughed as the brunette tried to keep her balance.
"It's gettin' late you want to head back?" Marissa shook her head. "I was hoping you'd say that, see the point of the truck is that we have a place to lay without getting dirty, but I mean we can get dirty if you want." She winked and led them back to where the red pick up was parked. She opened the tail gate to reveal a bed of blankets.
For awhile they laid together cuddled up telling a few stories here and there and pointing out constellations. "Its bitter sweet."
Marissa looked up. "What is?"
"Summer ending, school starting." Marissa nodded in understand as Alex entwined their fingers together and kissed her forehead.
"Looking back on all of that though its nice that when you hear Tim McGraw you'll think of me and I'll think of you because that way we'll always remember this summera and the moments we've had." Just as the words had left her lips Alex smiled as she heard the beginning few chords of the song that was playing through the trucks speakers.
"Come on." She took Marissas hand and they stood beside the truck. "Dance with me?"
"Like the first night we met?"
Alex shook her head. "No, now I can hold you a lot closer." She wrapped her arms around the slightly taller girls waist and felt soft arms wrap around her neck. They looked into each others eyes as they danced and it was the perfect moment.
