CHAPTER SIX

OLIVIA

I dozed for a few minutes but mostly lay there listening to him breathe, in a state of disbelief that I was here in his bed, in his arms.

Teddy had fallen asleep quickly, the exhaustion of performing and traveling taking its toll...his long limbs were tangled all around me. I glanced around the room. A pair of boots next to the closet door, a guitar in the corner, sheets of music and notes and notebooks on a table near the guitar and a loveseat, a shirt tossed across the back of it. Some framed poster art of early shows, fun black and white photos of them performing lined the walls. What was a missing in this room? A TV. God, I could love this man.

I gently untangled myself, put my sundress back on and went out into the living room. Biscuit raced from her spot on the couch to greet me and followed me to the kitchen where I grabbed some water. I found her leash and we set off to explore the neighborhood, which I would quickly regret as we were hit with a blast furnace of heat and humidity as soon as I opened the door.

"Biscuit, I'm afraid this will be a short walk."

Teddy was up and on the phone with his brother when Biscuit and I walked back in the door.

“You could have slept a lot longer than that,” I said.

“I don't know, I wake up and you've run off with my dog!”

“Well, you know...she is a sweetie.” I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned into him.

He leaned down to kiss the top of my head. "So are you."

“Oh my, very good answer,” I laughed.

“So, I'm noticing a problem I should have probably taken care of instead of flying to get you - which was more than worth it - but there is absolutely no food in this house...and I mean literally, nada.”

“Yes, I noticed that.”

We hopped in his truck and headed to Biscuit Love, to quell the immediate hunger, and because I’d never been. I asked him if he was able to be out and about without getting noticed or at least bothered.

“There are so many celebrities in this town now, most everyone just gives us a wave or hello. Certain weeks, like CMA fest, it's a lot harder then, but locals let us be. John gets noticed more than me because of the beard and Jennifer, because she’s just Jennifer. I could probably be totally incognito if I weren't so tall."

“Or until you open your mouth - I'd say that voice would give you away too.”

He laughed and nodded. "Maybe. People mostly think I'm "somebody" but without John or Jennifer they aren't always sure who.”

The smell of grits and butter and cheese filled my nose as we walked in. "Oh my God, I'm starving," I laughed. I put my glasses on and perused the menu on the wall with Teddy pressed against me from behind reading over my head. The public display of affection filled me with joy.
