Kelley pulled up next to some trucks and jeeps, throwing her own car into park. I stepped onto the grass and turned to survey the area. The huge bonfire looked as if it had been going for a couple of hours now. Kelley skipped to my side of the car and looped her arm with mine, "Ready, babe?" I laughed, leaning my head on her shoulder and pulling over to the group of people having a good time. "I'm so glad you decided to come out tonight."

I turned to Kelley, a smile forming on my lips, "Me too. I've spent way too much time moping about that idiot." I turned to the crowd, "I missed everyone!" My statement was met with cheers and I opened my arms to everyone.

Kelley laughed, "That's exactly what we wanted to hear!" I was welcomed into the group with hugs and high fives. It felt good to be out with my friends again. I finally felt like myself again.

"Hey, beautiful." I turned to the voice, my smile widening, if that was even possible.

"Chris!" He moved forward and wrapped me up in his arms. I hugged him back tightly. I'd never say it out loud, but I missed him the most.

He pulled back, smiling, "How are you?"

I threw my arms up, "Fantastic!"

He laughed, "Let's get a drink." I nodded and he tossed an arm over my shoulder. Chris led me over to a cooler and grabbed two beers, handing one to me. He clinked his can against mine before taking a sip. I followed suit and let him guide me over to his tailgate. We sat together, catching up and sipping our drinks. My boot clad feet swung back and forth as I laughed at one of Chris's stories, leaning on him for support. Chris smiled down at me, our faces moving closer together. My laughter stopped as Chris moved his hand up to push some of my hair behind my ear. His eyes flicked to my lips and he moved closer, "I missed seeing you around at these things."

"I missed being here."

Chris stared at me before worry flashed in his eyes and he pulled back slightly, "I'm glad you're back."

I smiled sadly, "Me too." Chris moved away and I sighed. Before I could feel too disappointed, my favorite song came pouring from the speakers.

I jumped up, "It's my song!" Chris laughed as I turned to him and held my hand out, "Come on." He shook his head before he reluctantly stood up, grasping my hand in his. I pulled him closer to the fire and swayed my hips in time with the music while placing my hand on Chris's shoulder. His hand landed on my waist as he moved along with me. I smiled as we swayed together and Chris's lips dipped down, close to mine, but not quite touching.

As the song ended, I pulled away from Chris. He smiled and dragged me back over to his tailgate. He sat, but I stayed standing, searching the crowd of people. Turning back to Chris, I stepped closer to him. The fire light flickered across his face and I felt a sudden wave of confidence rush through me, "You know, I've been waiting all night for you to kiss me." Chris stared up at me, a pink tinge taking residence on his face. I nodded, "Been waiting for you to make your move." Chris's shaking hands found mine and he pulled me to stand between his legs.

"That so?"

I nodded, a smirk on my lips, "There's a window open to steal my heart," I placed my hands on his shoulders, "You should take it before it closes." Chris smirked before his lips landed on mine. I smiled against his lips, my hands moving to the back of his head, deepening the kiss and his hands landing on my waist, pulling me closer.

Chris pulled back, leaning his forehead against mine, "Worth the wait?"

I nodded, "Definitely. Now kiss me again." I leaned into him and he complied, letting his lips connect with mine again.

Requests are still closed. I have a couple more of my own ideas that I want to get done before I start taking requests again. I think I only have like three more, so it won't be long before I start taking requests again. I don't know what it is about Chris Young, but every time I see him, I'm like 'yeah, he's married.' I have no idea why I think that. Anyway, thanks for reading!!
