Love Makes Me (Hunter Hayes fanfic) *Currently Editing*

Chapter 2

A couple of long, uneventful days go by, when I finally bump into Hunter after work as I go to my truck.

"Hey Hunter," I smile, happy to finally see him again. If I don't see him this long, then he's busy doing something related with his music for sure. It can keep him from the real world forever if you let it, but then again, it is Hunter's world.

My eyes flicker over his appearance. Low jeans, & a green vee neck that as usual, fits his body perfectly. Boy must know what he's doing to every girl that walks by. "Long time no see."

"Yeah, been in my room working on new songs. I think they're coming out great," he beams, the pride obvious in his blue eyes.

"Good. Oh hey, you got any plans for the coming Saturday?" I ask, praying he says he doesn't.

"Uh no, don't think so."

"The restaurant is having it's annual employee & family cookout if you want to come. It's just going to be in the field behind the restaurant."

"I'm not employee or family?" He questions, chuckling quietly.

"Ha, we're allowed to invite a couple of friends," I explain, smirking a little as I brush some of my hair behind my ear.

"Well then I'd love to." My heart does a flip-flop as his answer sinks in. He agreed to come!

"Cool, see ya then." I say as I head toward my truck smiling. It's only Tuesday though, meaning there will be a long 4 day wait. It won't get here soon enough.

I start driving home & turn the radio on, to hear Hunter's hit Storm Warning on. Smiling, I mindlessly start to sing along to the words.

"...she's a beautiful mess, yeah the kind you love to love, but what happens next? I got a feelin' when the sun comes up, i'm gonna need a storm warning, I'm gonna wish I had a sign, a little heads up, a little leeway, a little more time, some kind of radar system locked in on looovee," I stare at the stoplight, wondering when it's going to turn green. "I got a feelin' by the time night finds the morning, i'm gonna need a storm warning." I tap my finger on the steering wheel as my eyes flicker over to the car beside mine, just to see Hunter grinning from ear to ear. Yep, our windows are down. I can literally feel my face heat in embarrassment as I watch him chuckle to himself.

"Got every word right," he grins. I want to go hide, but luckily, the light finally turns. I quickly drive straight, as Hunter turns.

A few days go by when Saturday finally comes. I decide since we're all going to sit on blankets on the ground, I'll just wear jean shorts & a tee shirt.

After my mother drives us to the field where the picnic is, we all look around in wonder. There are some seats set up all over the place, along with the occasional blanket with families sitting on them. There's an area with smoking grills, & a lot of happy men in their aprons & spatulas in their hands.

I feel a tap on my shoulder, making me spin around on my heel. My lips curl up in giddiness.

"Hey there storm warning," Hunter grins. He's been calling me Storm Warning ever since he caught me singing to it that one day.

"Hey Hayes," I scratch the back of my head. He's wearing a cute green v-neck, & some old faded blue jeans. Perfect as usual.

"This is cool of the restaurant to do all this," he says, looking around.

"Yeah, most places would make us pay or make it open for the public." We walk over to the blue fleece blanket where my mother & sister are sitting.

"Hey Hunter," my sister grins, a devious glint as she looks between us.

"Hello," My mom speaks, smiling in approval. She's always had a soft spot for Hunter, thinking of him like a son.

"Hi," Hunter waves at them with a smile. After we all get some food & sodas, we sit back down on our blanket to munch down.

The times we didn't have food stuffed in our mouths, we would make conversation about anything. Hunter's music, Mom's work, Bella's school. Even my love life got thrown on the table once!

"She'll find someone," Hunter tells my mom seriously as he fiddles with a loose thread on his green shirt. Almost as if he's nervous. "Any guy would be lucky to have her."

*kay so this is bit of a filler chapter til I get over this minor writing block. It'll get better, I promise <3 xoxo*
