Hanging On.

Goodmorning guys! Today is Saturday February 4, 2017! This cold I have is hanging on! My sore throat is back with a vengeance. Drainage and what not. Other than that I feel really good! I have a to-do list today to tackle. Then later we may be going into town. I still haven't played with my camera to see how it would do with vlogs. I need to do that. Other than that I have some decluttering, cleaning, homework and other random things to do today. I think once I start feeling better I will start to tell you guys about the journey that I am on. It has been going very well, for those of your that are interested.  Well I am off to get my breakfast! I will talk to you guys later!

Coming around

Hey guys, how are you tonight? I hope you are all well! Today is the first day that I have not been on the couch. I actually got some work done. I made out my to-do list and started working on it. I still have a bad cough, but last night was the first night I slept all night. So progress! I am thinking about playing around with my digital camera tomorrow to see if it would make my vlogs look okay. I have a DSLR camera but it would be kinda hard to make a vlog with that. I also have to make my January Favorites video! So I have a ton of stuff to do. Just thought I would update you guys just in case any of you were curious to my life. Thanks for reading!

Weather Changes

Hello guys, I am shooting you an update from my couch. I have been sick for the past 3 days, thanks to this crazy weather we are having. I am a terrible allergy sufferer as it is and the weather is acting like an early spring. So the pollen has started to fall and I have began to get sick. So i am trying to home remedy.  So I really don't have much to tell you because I have been sick. I am going to try and get back to school tomorrow. I am so behind and so confused. I was supposed to go to a retreat this weekend but I don't think I will be able to go. I am very upset about this because it was supposed to be a retreat for my self-confidence, self-esteem, and personal growth. So I am super bummed about that. Well I am going to sign off of here for now and update you guys later.

Long Time No Chat!

Hello guys! I hope you guys are doing well! I know  posed in my last blog that I was going to start posting more but life got in the way. So obviously I am not cut out to keep a schedule with this or anything. So I am off of school on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I think I am going to start blogging about life. I am currently on a journey that I have been on since the day before Thanksgiving. I will start telling you guys more about it tomorrow. I may post weekly or daily. I haven't decided yet but I do want to pick my blogging back up. Even if no one is reading these I think it is a nice outlet for me to express myself and chart my progress. I also want to pick up my YouTube channel videos and maybe start a vlog channel. I have been really inspired by Alisha Marie, and IAmJustAVlogger. They are so good at vlogging and they made me want to give it a try. So we may dip our toes in that. So ill keep you guys updated as best I can with my full schedule. I hope you are all doing well and I wish you the best! Until next time!

Productive!

Hey all you cool cats out there! What's shaking bacon? I hope all is well in your world! Today is Friday, and the start day of my weekend! Today I was super productive and I feel amazing! I did laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning, errands, and school work! It feels nice to sit and talk about my day. I hope you guys have a great weekend and I will see you next vlog! Also! Check out my channel for an upcoming video on productivity! :)

Thought on the Day. (Brain Dump)

Hey guys! So lately I have been having some trouble sleeping and figured I would blog to kind of dump the day. So today was a fairly good day! Even though it rained all day! I skipped my first class because of road conditions and then went in at 12 to donate some stuff to Goodwill. I have been going through all of my old stuff and getting rid of things that I don't need or that don't fit me or my style anymore. So its awesome to do good! Then I went ahead and jetted over to my second class and sat through that. It was boring but necessary if I want to get that degree! Its about Research. Which in some aspects is very interesting but in other aspects is not at all. So then I drove home and typed up a paper I had to do, which was interesting. Then I cooked dinner and ate and watched Kung Fu Panda with momma! Which really made me want to work out. And that brings me to my question of the night. Why if we are people that are motivated and strive for success in education or career are we not having that same motivation to work out and better ourselves? Am I the only one? Well now it is time to brush my teeth and sign off! Be sure and check out my youtube channel where I currently am uploading 1 time an week! See you guys next blog! -L

Happy Weekend Guys!

Hello fellow bloggers and vloggers of the world! I hope you guys had a fantastic Friday and a super Saturday! (See what I did there?) I have so far had an EXAUSTING weekend! My room is back to normal though and super beautiful! I'm very pleased with the results! So if you are interested one of my goals for 2016 is to eat healthy! So I went out and bought tons of organic and amazing foods! I will do a video on what I picked up and I will start doing some cooking videos! If you have any recipes that use almond milk or  avocado then please comment below! That's all for now lovelies! I will see you cats on flip flop laterrrrrr! :)

Making Some Changes!

Hello to all new and old followers of my blog! As you can see I have made some changes to my blog. It needed some revamping for the new year! I hope you all enjoy the new look and the posts! I will try to post at least 2 times a week if not daily! Be sure and check out my YouTube channel, southernsweettea. I apologize for not posting in forever and a day. Life has been a little busy. I graduated college, I am redoing my bedroom, preparing for my second semester of my Bachelors' degree, making time for family and my loved ones, and trying to self improve. So as you can see time is a little crunched right now! But I wanted to begin blogging again so here I am! Until next post my dears! -L.

Part 18.

Hey guys! Here is part 18! Enjoy and thanks for reading! I've decided that one day I'm going to make a book out of all these, but it'll be a while, I have a lot left to write!

“Oh my...” Lindsi’s mother said as she grabbed Lindsi’s ringed hand. “ Isn’t it beautiful!?” Lindsi squealed. “Yes... Mom… He told me he loved me..” Lindsi said. Lindsi’s mother looked up. “HE DID?” “YES!” Lindsi said happily. “Oh my goodness!” “I know... I just am in awe. It amazes me.” “I know it does sweetheart.” Lindsi’s mother said happily.

 The next morning Lindsi’s woke to the sound of her phone ringing on her bedside table. She answered it sleepily. “Helllo?” She said stretching under her warm covers. “I love hearing you when you just wake up.” Trevors voice said over the phone. “I wish I could say the same about waking up to answer you.” Lindsi said rolling over. “Awe baby, I’m sorry. Now get up and look out your window.” “Ughhhhh. Trevor. You better not be here I swear I look like crap. At least give me some time to get ready.” Trevor laughed. “I’m not there baby, just look for me. And for the record I’m sure you look great.” “I’m only getting out of this bed because I love you.” Lindsi said. “I love you too now go.” Lindsi walked to her window and pulled back the curtain. The ground had at least 5 inches of snow on it and it was still coming down. “It’s snowing!” Lindsi said excitedly. “Yes baby. Now you can go back to bed if you want.” Trevor said. “ARE YOU CRAZY?! I’m heading outside pronto!” Lindsi said scrambling for clothes. Trevor laughed. “I was hoping you’d say that. I’m on my way.” “Did you-“ Lindis started. “Yes, I talked to your mom this mornig and she said it was cool, and my parents are staying inside because they can’t do anything outside with this much snow on the ground.” “Awesome! BE VERY CAREFUL! I’ll see you when you get here I love you!” Lindsi said. “I love you too baby, and I’m going like 30 miles an hour. No worries. Don’t use up all the snow on the ground so there isn’t any for when I get there!” Trevor said excitedly. “Oh I don’t think we will have to worry about that.” Lindsi said. “Okay baby I’ll see you in a while. Oh, by the way, you sure did change your tune quickly once you realized it was snowing, and I was coming to see you.” Trevor said jokingly. Lindsi laughed. “Shut up, I love you, byeee!” Lindsi then hung up the phone, finished getting dressed, and headed outside. Once outside she went and got her dog Maya so she could experience her first snow. Maya didn’t really know what to think of it. It was cold, wet, and white. She licked at it and the dug in it, then ran and tried to eat the falling snowflakes. She was a hoot. About 45 minutes later, after Maya was all tired out, and put back in her pen, Lindsi heard Trevor pull into the driveway.  Lindsi scooped up some snow and made a snowball. She then snuck around and out the gate, and chunked the snowball and Trevor’s back. As the snowball hit him he turned around smiling. “This. Means. War. Come here you!” Trevor said running after Lindsi. Lindsi ran back to the backyard, and Trevor followed. Lindsi hurriedly picked up more snow and chunked it at him, hitting him in the chest. Trevor then picked up snow and threw it hitting Lindsi in the butt. “Hey!” Lindsi said stopping and turning around. Trevor caught her, and wrapped his arms around her. “I knew that would get you to stop, so I could catch you.” Trevor said out of breath. “Dang you.” Lindsi said hugging him close. “I caught you, so therefore I win. So where’s my prize?” Trevor said as he raised his eyebrows. “Right here.” Lindsi said as she neared to kiss him, but right before she did she dumped a handful of snow down the back Trevor’s shirt. “OHHHH! COLD!” Trevor said dancing around to get the snow out of his shirt. Lindsi doubled over laughing. Trevor took that moment to stop dancing and scoop her up over his shoulder. “Trevor put me down!” Lindsi said as she flailed her legs and arms. “Ha! And risk you dumping snow down my shirt again? In your dreams baby.” Trevor carried Lindsi around the yard and she continued to laugh and protest. Finally he moved her to where he was holding her back with one arm and his other was under her knees.  “Are you ready to play nice and fair?” Trevor said as he looked at Lindsi’s flushed pink cheeks. “I suppose so.” Lindsi huffed. “I can always carry you around some more like a sack of potatoes.” Trevor said. “NO! I’ll be nice!” Lindsi pleaded. “Okay. Promise?” Trevor asked. “I promise.” Lindsi said and she wrapped her arms around Trevor’s neck. “Good. Now where were we before you dumped frozen water down my back?” Lindsi smiled. “Right. Here.” She then kissed Trevor’s cold mouth. “Perfect” Trevor whispered. “I couldn’t agree more.” Lindsi whispered back.

 

 

Part 17.

Here is my latest edition to my love story. Thanks for reading!!! :)

Lindsi couldn’t fight the tears that began to form in her eyes. Trevor knew she wasn’t sad though. She had the biggest smile on her face he had ever seen. “Trevor…” Lindsi said as she tried to control herself. Trevor took the ring out of the box for her. “Will you wear this ring Lindsi?” Trevor said starting to tear up himself. “Yes. Yes. Yes.” Lindsi repeated over and over as Trevor slipped the ring on her finger. When the ring was on Lindsi wrapped her arms around Trevor and Trevor wrapped his arms around Lindsi. They just looked at each other for a long time. Finally Lindsi spoke up. “Trevor, I love you too.” Trevor then began to cry again. “Baby! Stop! You’re going to ruin my makeup.” Lindsi said tearing up again. “I’m sorry baby. It just means so much to hear you say that. You are the only girl I’ve ever said that to.” That stopped Lindsi dead. He had never told any other girl that he had dated that he loved them? Wow. “Really?” Lindsi asked. “Really. I’ve never really felt the connection with them that I do with you. It took a lot of guts to say that.” “I can only imagine, honey.” Lindsi said as she snuggled into his jacket. “So do you like your ring?” “I absolutely love it, and you.” Lindsi said smiling and wiping a stray tear away from the corner of Trevor’s eye. He then reached up and took Lindsi’s hand and kissed the tips of her fingers and kissed the ring. Lindsi beamed. “I love that smile. I love everything about you.” Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi. This kiss was different, it was like they both had nothing to hold back any longer. Their feelings were free. And they loved it.  “You know I was worried you weren’t going to like the ring, or me telling you I loved you.” Trevor said as the kiss ended. “Why?” Lindsi said shocked. “I’ve wanted to tell you since our dancing date. I was afraid it was too soon.” “No. Don’t think that. It was perfect timing.” “Trevor smiled and held Lindsi’s hand. “Do you want to go for a walk?” “Sure! That would be great. I’ll just tell mom.” Lindsi said as she yelled through the door at her mother that they were going on a walk. After her mother OKed it, the two started out around the block. They were handing in hand and about half way through there walk when Lindsi felt something cold hit her hand. “Did you feel that she said as she looked at Trevor. “Yea...” Trevor said quizzically. Then before their very eyes, it began to snow. What a perfect Christmas this turned out to be. It might have been Christmas time, but Lindsi had spring time feelings in the middle of December.

“Oh! Snow!” Lindsi said as the flakes began to fall liberally. Trevor let go of Lindsi’s hand and caught some flakes in his hand. “You think it’ll stick?” Trevor asked. “I hope so I’ve got an itch for a snowball fight.” Lindsi said eyeing Trevor mischievously. “Do you now?” Trevor said advancing in Lindsi’s direction. “Mhm.” Lindsi said backing away. “I’ll have you know I’m a hunter.. so I’m a master at aim.” Trevor said getting closer to Lindsi. “Whatever. I won’t believe it til I see it.” Lindsi said. “Challenge accepted.” Trevor said smugly. “I bet you can’t even catch me.” Lindsi said playfully. “Again. Challenge accepted.” Trevor said advancing toward Lindsi quicker. Lindsi began to run. “Ah! The thrill of the hunt!” Trevor said as he ran after her.  Lindsi was laughing so hard it was beginning to get hard to run. Trevor caught up with her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. “I caught you babe.” Trevor breathed into her neck. “I know...” Lindsi said exhausted. “Now I get to... EAT YOU!!!” Trevor said as he nibbled on Lindsi’s neck and ear. Lindsi melted into a fit of giggles. “Wait! If you eat me then who will you love?” Lindsi asked. “Oh I just wanted a taste.” Trevor said licking his lips. “I’ll give you something to taste.” Lindsi mumbled as she spun around and kissed him. After the kiss was over Trevor said “That tasted like sugar. Sweet. Just like you.” Lindsi laughed. “Thank you babe, I’m pretty sure my dad could learn from you.” “Oh does he use corny lines like that too?” Trevor asked as he wrapped his arms around Lindsi again. “Every chance he gets.” Lindsi said. Trevor laughed. “So does my dad. It’s hilarious.” “Stick around and I’m sure you’ll hear some of my dad’s.” Lindsi said as they rounded the last turn to her house. “Oh I plan to sweetheart.” Trevor said they returned to her driveway. “You better go before the roads get to bad!” Lindsi said worried. “Okay babe. I will. I’ll drive really careful too.” Trevor said as he unlocked his truck door. “Okay babe, I don’t know what I’d do if something where to happen to you!” Lindsi said snuggling into Trevor. “Ditto baby.” Trevor said lifting Lindsi’s chin and taking her hand. “Merry Christmas sweetheart. I love you.” Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi goodbye. “I love you too baby. I love you too.” Lindsi said as the kiss ended. “I’ll text you when I get home.” Trevor said as he hugged Lindsi before he climbed into his truck. “Please be careful babe.” Lindsi said as he buckled in. “I swear babygirl.” Lindsi pressed her hand to the cold truck door and smiled. Trevor smiled and started his truck. Lindsi backed away and waved as he carefully backed out of her drive. She stood in the street until he was out of sight. It was then that she screamed and jumped up and down and looked at her ring. Then hurriedly went in to show her mother.

From the Heart. (Forgiveness)

Hey guys, I'm taking a short break from my love story to lay out my feelings. My best friend and I have parted ways. I'm having a hard time forgiving her, but I know I have to because forgiveness is for me, not her. So here goes. Stay Strong, we  where friends for 5 years. From the VERY FIRST DAY of high school, to about the 2nd month of college. We went through tears, family issues, boyfriends, laugher,everything. You were like a sister to me. I opened up my heart, family, house, everything I had to you. When you started college I started to get worried for you. I wasn't judging you. I was trying to help you. I can not hold you accountable for your own actions. That's something you have to do for you. I did however tell you I would help you if you needed it. The next thing I know Haley is jumping on me for a comment I made on something you posted that was meant to be positive. That was hurt number one, I know you say Haley is her own person, and I understand that but I KNOW you saw the comments. You didn't stick up for me. That hurt. Then you took me off your Facebook without explanation. Hurt #2. Then you reach out to me and I try and talk it out with you and Haley jumps in AGAIN. Hurt #3. I thought I meant so much more to you than this. I have ALOT of hurt, betrayal, anger, and resentment toward you. What you did to me hurt. It cut deep. You traded your BEST FRIEND (or so I thought) for a girl who you didn't even like at the beginning, and known less than a month. That hurt. It sucked. You replaced me with her. My song to you is Warrior by Demi. I know you are familiar. I didn't do anything you. I didn't say anything negative, I didn't do anything. You just disappear, and change friends and toss 5 years of  friendship away like it was nothing, hurt #4. And then you say I "judged you" and wasn't a real friend... hurt #5. If I did judge you im sorry. I don't see how everything I did for you was "judging you". I don't know if ill ever be able to go back. I'll forgive you eventually, but you made your choice when you let Haley say those EXTREMELY HURTFUL things to me. Hurt#5. I'm sorry if I "wasn't a real friend".  I think I was as real as I could be. I'm sorry to say this but you were wrong. I just don't understand how you can just up and throw away 5 years of friendship. I'm numb, and at a loss for words. I'm just amazed. You talked to me like I wasn't even anything to you. Like we never had 5 years of history. You have changed. You have started listening to rap music, you started talking "nigga" "ghetto" all this. You haven't figured out who you are yet, you just go with whatever influence you are around. It's like you aren't your own person anymore. You let the influence of others overshadow who you really are inside and who I thought you were inside. You changed your outlook on life. All you want ot do anymore is sleep and have fun. I recall you even saying "Who needs college?". Its like you haven't come to terms with the fact that you are in college, and are grown up now. You want to skate by with doing the minimal amount of work. I'm saying all this to say this: You are NOT the friend, the person, the BFF that I knew. You have allowed others to call me ugly names and to say HORRIBLE things to me without so much as an "I'm sorry." I know that I should forgive and I will but it will take time.

Part 16

Finals came and went and Trevor and Lindsi aced all of them. "We make a pretty good team." Trevor had said that day after all finals were over. "I agree." They went out to lunch to celebrate their first semester of college coming to a close.

Christmas was finally here and Lindsi could not be more excited. She had spent Christmas day with her family but both Trevor's and her parents agreed they could spend the 26th together. Trevor came over to Lindsi's house at 2 o clock. "Merry Christmas Trevor!" Lindsi's mother said when Trevor had arrived. "Merry Christmas Mrs. Chadwick." Trevor said as he gave Mrs. Chadwick a hug. "Merry Christmas Mr. Chadwick!" Trevor said as he went and shook Lindsi's dads hand. "Merry Christmas Trevor." Lindsi's dad said in return. "Gift time!" Lindsi said emerging from her room with a package. "Open yours first!" Lindsi said handing Trevor the gift. Trevor sat on the couch and Lindsi sat next to him. Lindsi's mother sat on  the lounge chair across from them and Lindsi's father was in his favorite recliner. Trevor tore into the present and pulled out a silver picture frame with hearts and love related words on the frame. Inside the frame was a picture of them both together that Lindsi had taken off of Trevor's Facebook and had sized and printed. "Oh Baby! I love this! I can put it beside my bed and look at you now every night before I go to sleep." Lindsi smiled. " I know its not much but I thought it would be a sweet gift." "I love it." Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi. "Hey! Hey! Hey!" Lindsi's dad said aggravated. "Daddy! It's Christmas! And Didn't I tell you I'd pay you back one day for all that mushy crap you say and do to mom?" "Well that's different." Lindsi's dad said. "It always is." Lindsi said. "C'mon Trevor.. We'll go outside." Lindsi said. And they did. Once outside, Lindsi spoke up again.. there's actually more than one reason I wanted to come out here. Not just cause of daddy. But there is also something I want to say that goes along with your gift.." "Okay baby.. Shoot." "Trevor McKnight. You are the most thoughtful, considerate, amazing guy I have ever met. You are my dream guy. I thank GOD for you each and everyday. I hope and pray this relationship never ends. You are my other half. You are my best friend." Trevor smiled. "Stop right there please ma'am." Sit down and open your gift now." "But I wasn't done!" Lindsi said. "I don't care baby. Open this. Then I can something's to say as well." Lindsi's heart leaped as she looked at the box in Trevor's  hand. It looked like a ring box..... She took its and unwrapped it. It was a small velvet box. "Trevor..." Lindsi said. "Open the box baby." Trevor said smiling. Lindsi cracked the box open. inside was a silver ring with two hearts laces together with diamonds on both sides. "Trevor.. I..." "Shhh/ It's my turn to talk. I've wanted to tell you this since our dancing date. Lindsi. You have made me the happiest guy alive. Since the day I first met you have captured my heart, I knew the minute I saw you  in the library I want you to be my girlfriend. The ring you see before you is a promise ring. I promise to never ever leave you. I promise to be here whenever you need me. I promise to give you the respect and love you deserve. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. I need you. You have filled  a space in my heart I thought no one could. You make my days brighter and help me get through hard days... Lindsi I love you."

Part 15

Lindsi smiled as Trevor spun her around. The two danced to slow songs only centimeters apart, they two stepped, Trevor even managed to dip her a couple of times without dropping her! At 10 o clock Trevor and Lindsi were dancing to "Fall" by Clay Walker. This was the last song of the night. When the song ended Trevor pulled Lindsi into him and hugged her. "Wow. You are an amazing dancer." "And here I thought I had two left feet this whole time!" Lindsi said listening to his heart. "No way baby. I didn't notice you falter once." Trevor said as he laid his chin on top of Lindsi's head and swayed slightly. Another thing Lindsi loved about Trevor: He was taller than her. Even in 3 inch heels she had to stand on her tiptoes. Trevor and Lindsi were about to make their way back to his truck when Lindsi made the comment: "All that dancing made my feet a little sore." Trevor smiled at her and knelt down. "Hop on." "On your back?" "Isn't that what a piggy back ride is?" "Yes.. But I weigh 145 pounds.. I don't want to throw out your back.." Lindsi said hesitantly. "Oh that's cute. I lift hay bales heavier than you baby, now get on." Lindsi smiled and did as she was told. "You know I was just making the comment. I didn't expect you to carry me all this way." Lindsi said innocenlty as she and Trevor started toward his truck. "Uh huh. Sure, just like you didn't own a mothership and come from Jupiter.." Trevor said jokingly. "Okay.. okay.. so maybe I did!" Lindsi said laughing. "It's okay baby. I'd carry you across the Mexican Desert."  Trevor said as he stopped in front of the passenger side door. Lindsi hopped off his back and went to open the door but Trevor stopped her. "Tre-" Lindsi turned to him to ask why he was holding the door when he kissed her. After the kiss was over Trevor whispered: "Thank you for being my date and dance partner tonight baby." "Your welcome baby. It was so much fun!" Lindsi said as she played with Trevor's shirt collar. "Wow.." Trevor said as he smiled. "What?" Lindsi asked looking up. "The way your eyes light up when you look at me.." Lindsi flushed red again. " That's cute too. The way you blush. It's completely adorable." Lindsi smiled and shook her head. "Never have I had a guy be so sweet, and thoughtful and think so highly of me." "I'm only giving you what you need and deserve Lindsi." "I know.. I hope I am doing the same for you.." Lindsi said slightly worried. Trevor wrapped her in another hug. "Baby. You did that when you agreed to be my girlfriend, you do that everyday.." Lindsi hugged him tighter. "Baby?" Lindsi said as  Trevor took both her hands. "Yes?" "Do me a favor?" "Anything." "Please don't leave. You are my dream come true. You helped me believe in love again. You helped me see that when you find the right person and that love isn't just an empty promise." Trevor smiled. "I will stay as long as you want me to Lindsi. I'm not going anywhere." "Thank you." Lindsi said as Trevor tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear. "Your welcome my Princess. Now, lets get you home before your dad is sitting on the front porch with a shot gun!" Lindsi laughed. And climbed into the truck.

On the way home Trevor and Lindsi decided that since finals were only a week from today, they would meet up all next week to begin preparing. After finals week they were out of school until January 21st 2014. They also talked about Christmas. "I want to get you something." Trevor said. "Trevor! NO! You really don't have to!" "I want to! and I will! Missy!" Trevor said definitely. "Okay, I was getting you something regardless of weather you got me something or not." Lindsi said as Trevor turned into her drive. Stubborn aren't we?" Trevor asked. "Always babe." Lindsi said smiling. "Trevor smiled and hopped out of the truck  with Lindsi. "Thank you again for a great night Trevor.  It was yet another wonderful date." "Thank you for coming Lindsi. Thank you for being you." Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi goodnight. Lindsi went into the house and Trevor went back to his truck. He sat their for a while before he drove away. He never wanted this relationship to end. Lindsi was leaning on the front door inside the house thinking the exact same thing.

Part 14.

The next day, as promised, Trevor showed up. Lindsi was feeling better, she had gone to the doctor that morning and had her first antibiotics down her. She was sitting on the couch in her favorite fuzzy PJs when the knock on the door came. Lindsi got up and answered it. "Hey babe!" Trevor said as he pulled Lindsi into his arms. "Hey darling' "  Lindsi said. "Your looking better today!" "Yes, Its amazing what sleep, two amazing people, and antibiotics can do for a girl." Lindsi said as she sunk into Trevor's embrace. "Trevor! Pleasure to see you again." Lindsi's mom said as she came to the kitchen from the hallway. "Same to you Mrs. Chadwick, I hope you don't mind." "Not in the slightest." Lindsi's mom said.  Trevor and Lindsi went to the couch and Trevor turned the volume down. "Lindsi. I need to ask you something." Yes. Yes. I will marry you. Lindsi thought to herself. "Sure babe." Lindsi said turning her attention to him. "My parents are dying to meet you.. Would you be my date to dinner Friday night?" "Of course!" Lindsi said excited. "Great! Then after I have another surprise, If you feel up to it." "I'm sure I'll be well by then." "Okay baby. But I do have a dress code for Friday night." "Okay. Shoot." Lindsi said curious. "A dress or skirt. and some fancy but comfy shoes." Lindsi wasn't really a dress our skirt girl unless she HAD to be, and those was one of those times. "Okay baby. I'll  do it." Lindsi said already formulating ideas in her head. Trevor left around 3, as he had stuff to do. Lindsi told her mom about Trevor's plans for Friday and she seemed happy, but still concerned about her daughters health.

Friday night finally rolled around and Trevor was set to be at Lindsi's house in an hour. Lindsi had decided on wearing her brown sweater dress and black tights with brown boots and grabbed her trench coat out of the coat closet. (It was December for crying out loud)  Her hair was loose and curly. When Trevor picked her up he was wearing purple. A purple long sleeved button up shirt, wranglers, boots, and a black cowboy hat. He looked really good. "Have.. mercy... You look stunning." Trevor said as Lindsi got into the truck. "Oh, I've only worn this thing twice." "You should wear it more. It looks nice." Trevor said. "Thank you Lindsi" said as she took Trevor outstretched hand. They held hands and talked until the pulled into his house. It was a brown brick house, with rock outlines. It looked very cozy.  "Well this is it." Trevor said as he turned the truck off. Lindsi swallowed hard. "Babe? You aren't nervous are you?" "YES!" Lindsi blurted out. Trevor grabbed Lindsi's face gently. "Baby, Just be yourself. I..m sure they will love you." Lindsi smiled. "Okay baby. Let's go." Trevor hopped out and so did Lindsi. They held hands until Trevor opened the front door. " Mom! Dad! I'm home!" Trevor's mother came out of what Lindsi assumed to be the kitchen. The inside of the house was twice as nice as the outside. " Oh! You must be Trevor's girlfriend! I've heard such great things about you!" Trevors mother said as she hugged Lindsi. Lindsi smiled and relaxed. As the hug ended, Lindsi smiled and said: "Yes ma'am, Mrs. McKnight. I'm Lindsi, pleased to meet you." " Please call me Debra." "Who s this beautiful girl in my house! Could it be Lindsi? The girl Trevor talks about from sun up to sun down?" Lindsi flushed red. "Hello Mr. McKnight, That's me. Lindsi Chadwick. It's a pleasure to meet you." "My goodness son she is even prettier in person. That picture on your phone does her no justice." Lindsi flushed pink again. Mr. McKnight took Lindsi's outstretched hand and shook it. "Pleasure to meet you Ms. Chadwick. Call me George." Lindsi smiled. "That's my grandfathers name." "Oh? Really now?" Mr. McKnight asked. "Yes sir. My mother's father." "Well just tell your grandfather hello from one George to another." "I will do that sir." Lindsi said looking upward and smiling. "Come! Sit! Dinner is almost ready." Mrs. McKnight said as she lead Lindsi and Trevor to the dinning room.  Trevor and Lindsi sat down next to each other at the long mahogany table, while Mr. McKnight sat across from them. Trevor placed his hand on the table and Lindsi gladly took it. Trevor was drawing circles with his thumb when Mr. McKnight said: "So Miss Lindsi what are you studying at Texarkana College?" Well Sir, This semester I'm doing the basics I didn't get in high school from dual credit, and then in the spring I'm going to major in Behavioral Sciences." "Oh my! Dual credit? Smart, and pretty. Just like your mother." Mr. McKnight said pointing at Trevor. "Trevor laughed. Right about then Mrs. McKnight came to the dining room doorway. Dinners ready if you want to come dish up your plates." Trevor and Lindsi walked hand in hand to the kitchen where on the counter sat garlic bread, a salad bowl, and a pot of spaghetti, another pot of ravioli, and what looked to be fettuccini alfreado. "Dig in!" Mrs. McKnight said coming behind Lindsi and squeezing her shoulders. "Trevor told me you  liked Italian food, and that you had been sick, so I figured this would be a get well treat." "Oh my! Thank you Mrs. M...Debra. This look amazing. Did Trevor also tell you I love to eat?" Lindsi smiled and Mrs. Debra let out a lighthearted giggle. "Honey we all do around this house, you fit right in!" After everyone had gotten their plates and was seated in the dining room Mr. McKnight offered to say the blessing. After the blessing was said, and they were all digging into their meal, they talked about college, Mr. McKnight's work, Trevor, Lindsi's parents, and everything in-between. They laughed and cut up. Lindsi felt like she already had a second family. After everyone was stuffed, Lindsi helped Mrs. McKnight clear the table. "Oh no! No ma'am! I got this! You got sit down yo are our guest!" "Mrs. Debra! After that delicious meal its the least I could do!" "No sweetie! Go sit down!" "I'm afraid you won't be sitting for long." Trevor said as he entered the kitchen. "Oh? Why's that?" Lindsi asked. "I can't tell you babe, surprise remember?"  "Awh! Not even a hint?" Lindsi whined. "Nope." Trevor said shaking his head. "Well you two run along then!" "Yes stop keeping this girl waiting boy!" Mr. McKnight said as he walked in behind Trevor. "Alright! Alright!" Trevor said laughing. "Lindsi it was wonderful to meet you, I hope to see you again soon!" Mrs. McKnight said hugging Lindsi. "Yes, I agree, It was a pleasure to meet you Miss Lindsi." Mr. McKnight hugged Lindsi as well. "It was a pleasure to meet and dine with you both as well." Lindsi said. Trevor kissed his mom on the cheek and hugged his dad. "I'll see you guys later!" He said as he and Lindsi walked out the door. When they got back into the truck and buckled in Trevor said: "They loved you. They REALLY loved you. Just like I said." "I loved them too! They are so easy going and your moms an awesome cook. Almost as good as mine." Lindsi said smiling. "Well I wouldn't know." Trevor said looking at Lindsi. "You may find out sooner than you think boy." Lindsi said. Trevor smiled as he started down the road. They drove for what seemed like forever. "Where are we going?" Lindsi finally asked, "Right here Miss. Impatient." Lindsi looked out the window at what looked to be an old metal building. "Come on." Trevor said as he hopped out of the truck. Lindsi followed him to the building and then he covered her eyes. "Trevor!" Don't open yet." They walked a few more steps and then Trevor moved his hands from her field of view. The building was lit dimly with candles and a spot light in the center. Trevor then walked over to an old stereo and pushed a button. The building was flooded with the sound of Cowboys and Angels by Dustin Lynch. Trevor then walked over to Lindsi and gathered her in his arms. "I don't suppose you dance?" Trevor whispered. " One thing I was blessed with was rhythm baby. I could dance all night long." "Good." Trevor said "That's exactly what I plan to do."

Part 13.

Lindsi woke up 2 hours later. Trevor was sitting on the other side of where he was when she when to sleep. "Hey pretty girl." "Hi" Lindsi said hoarsely. Trevor came and wrapped Lindsi up in his arms. "Your mom told me about your story in your blog. About a guy named Trevor." Lindsi smiled. "Yea, That was my fairytale." Trevor lifted Lindsi's chin and stroked her cheek softly. " I read it. Now you asked me if GOD put us together. If that is not a sign that he did then I don't know what is." Trevor kissed Lindsi then. Lindsi tried to pull away but Trevor wasn't having it. That kiss said so much without saying anything. after the kiss was over, Lindsi said "You are going to get sick now! GERMS YOU KNOW!" "Baby, I could care less about the germs, your my baby girl, we share germs." Lindsi smiled and settled back down on the couch with Trevor. They watched Golden Girls and he played with her hair, they talked about her blog story, and Trevor made her soup. This was one of the times Lindsi didn't mind being sick. She loved Trevors company. Around 4 o clock Lindsi's dad came home. "Who's truck is blocking the driveway?! He said gruffly.  "Mine sir." Trevor said from the couch. "Trevor. Go move your truck. What are you doing on the couch with my daughter?" About that time Lindsi's mom cut in. "Lindsi woke up sick this morning and came home from college, and Trevor noticed how bad she looked and followed her here to look after her." "Does he not think you are capable of taking care of her or something?" "Dad..." Lindsi said from the couch. Lindsi's fathers' face softened at the sound of her hoarse voice. "My poor baby girl!" "Trevor bought me all this." She gestured to the tissues, medicine, and all that was in the Wal-Mart bags. "He is a good man dad..." "Oh sweetheart I know he probably  is." Lindsi's dad said as he bent to kiss her forehead. About that time Trevor came in from moving his truck. "Sorry about that Mr. Chadwick. I've been watching over Lindsi all day." "So I've heard." Lindsi father said. "Just park your truck over to the side of the driveway next time son." Lindsi's dad continued as he clapped a hand on  Trevor's shoulder. "Will do sir." "Trevor are you staying for dinner?" Lindsi's mom asked. " No ma'am. But I would like to stay a while longer. If that's alright with you and Mr. Chadwick." "Fine with me." Said Lindsi's mom. "I guess that'd be alright." said Lindsi's dad as he walked to the bathroom. Once he was out of earshot Lindsi looked at Trevor who had sat back down with her on the couch. "I'm sorry.. He can be kind of gruff when he gets off work. Unless its Thursday, then his week is over." Lindsi said. "Trevor would you help me move Lindz back to her bedroom please?" "Yes ma'am." Trevor picked Lindsi up before she knew what was going on. "That's not exactly what I meant!" said Lindsi mom laughing as she picked up the tissues and Lindsi half empty bottle of Gatorade. "Her room is the last room on the left." She said as Trevor started down the hall. Once their He set Lindsi down on her bed and pulled her covers back. "There you are baby." Trevor said as Lindsi crawled under the covers. Trevor then pulled up the desk chair Lindsi had in the corner of her room and sat down next to the bed. Lindsi mom came in and set her Gatorade down on her T.V. tray, along with tissues. "Trevor I thank you for watching over her today. It was sweet of you to do that." "Anytime Mrs. Chadwick I doubt I did as good as you though." Trevor said smiling and taking Lindsi's hand. Lindsi's mom smiled. "Well I'm going out here to fix supper, holler if you need something." "Will do." Trevor said. After Lindsi's mom had gone, Lindsi spoke up. "Thank you for today Trevor. It was wonderful. I actually didn't mind being sick so much." "Your welcome Lindz." Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi's forehead and stroked her hair. Trevor stayed and watched over Lindsi for about 15 more minutes. "I'm going to go babe." Trevor said as Lindsi started to drift off again. "I don't want you too!" Lindsi said sulking. Trevor smiled and laughed. "I don't want to go either babe, but I can't spend the night." "I know..." Lindsi said sadly. "Chin up babe. I'll be back tomorrow at 1." "YOU WILL!?" Lindsi said perking up again. "Yes! I cleared it with your mom already and she said it was fine. My classes end at 11:30." "OH BOY!" Lindsi said like a kid that just got a new toy on Christmas day. "Now, You rest. Drink this. ALL OF IT. And eat dinner. and rest. I'll text you as soon as I get home until I pass out." Lindsi smiled and her eyes started to water. "Baby! are you crying? I'll be back!" Trevor said as he hugged Lindsi close. "Not that baby. You are just so amazing. I am so lucky to have you." Lindsi said through tears and congestion. "I'm lucky to have you too baby. I'm glad your mine." Trevor kissed Lindsi again. "Goodbye sweetheart." Lindsi said as she leaned her head again Trevors. "Bye baby."  Trevor then stood, put the computer chair back and walked out of the room. Lindsi heard Trevor say his goodbyes to her mom and dad and then the door shut behind him. Lindsi laid her head on her pillow and sighed. She was sick alright. Lovesick. Head over Heels for sure.

Part 12.

The next morning Lindsi woke up, and her throat was scratchy. "OH no!" Lindsi said as he mother poured her some coffee. "I'm...sick!" Lindsi said horrified. "Here dear." Lindsi mom laid two Advil on the counter. Lindsi swallowed them and went and got ready for school. She was starting to fell like serious dodo. "If you get to feeling too bad come home." Lindsi's mom said as Lindsi backed out of the driveway. "I will momma." Lindsi got to Mcdonalds at 7:30. That gave Trevor and her 30 minutes to eat before class started.  Trevor met Lindsi at her car as she drove into the parking lot. "Good morning baby!" Trevor said as he neared Lindsi for her good morning kiss. "Lindsi turned her head. "Baby.. I'm sick.. I can't risk you getting this." "Awh! Babe! Look at you... Your nose is running,  your eyes are glassy, and watering. and your freezing." Trevor opened his jacket so Lindsi could get wrapped in it. "Oh.. It's warm in here..." Lindsi said as Trevor encompassed her in his big camo jacket. "Let's get inside love." Trevor said as Lindsi let go of him and slipped out of his jacket. Once inside Lindsi ordered a hot chocolate and a sausage biscuit, and Trevor ordered a sausage burrito and a coffee. They sat and waited for their meal. Trevor sat beside Lindsi instead of across from her, and had her all wrapped up in his arms. "Orda numba 16!" Said the lady at the front. "I'll get it baby." Trevor said as he got up from the table.  He came back and placed Lindsi's food in front of her. "Thanks baby." Lindsi said as she snuggled into him again. "I think after this you should go back home baby.. you look like you feel horrible. "Mmkay." Lindsi said as she took a bite of her biscuit. After the two finished eating Lindsi and Trevor walked outside and Lindsi told Trevor goodbye. "Have a good day, I'm sorry I got sick and can't spend it with you..." Lindsi said. "It's not your fault love. I'll have a good day. I promise."  Lindsi kissed Trevor on the cheek lightly and got into her car.
Once home, Lindsi's mom made her a spot on the couch and got her something to drink. She was watching T.V. about an hour later, when the doorbell rang. "Come on in!" Lindsi's mom said. "Who is it.." Lindsi asked. "Hello gorgeous." "TREVOR! YOU SHOULD BE AT SCHOOL! WHY ARE YOU HERE?" I called your mom and asked if I could come keep you company while you were sick. She okayed it and here I am." "MOM! YOU ARE AMAZING!" "Honey, Being sick is no fun, and I know you would enjoy having Trevor around." Trevor came over to the coouch with about 7 walmart bags. "I brought some supplys." Trevor began pulling things out of the bags. Orange juice, advil, Dayquil, Nyquil, vitamins, chocolate, popcorn, Gatorade, the ENTIRE box set of The Golden Girls on DVD, tissues with lotion and vicks, mucinex, and a huge fuzzy blanket. "This should cover everything for today." "TREVOR! YOU BOUGHT ALL THIS FOR ME!?" "yes, I have to keep my babygirl well, and good company, I hope you like The Golden Girls... I do." Trevor said turning semi red. "I love them." Lindsi said smiling and scooting over. Trevor took his coat off and laid it over the chaise lounge, and sat down on the couch with Lindsi. "Trevor! You bought all this!?" Lindsi's mom said coming back in the kitchen from outside. "Yes Ma'am. I knew as soon as I saw Lindsi this morning I was going to come over and spend the day, with your permission of course." "That's mighty sweet of you Trevor." Lindsi's mom said as she opened the box of Dayquil and popped two tablets out. "Lindsi baby, take these." Lindsi's mom handed Lindsi the tablets and Trevor the glass of water. Lindsi took the tablets and popped them in her mouth and took the glass from Trevor and swallowed. Trevor had went to put the first DVD in and was back on the couch by the time Lindsi was done swallowing. Trevor was sitting on the couch and had a pillow propped up against him so Lindsi could lay down and watch. "Lay down sweet girl." Lindsi did. "Trevor started playing with Lindsi's hair and laughing right along with her. This was perfect. Lindsi always wanted a relationship JUST LIKE this one. Lindsi had fallen asleep in the middle of the second episode. Trevor noticed and gently kissed her forehead. She had fever. "Mrs. Kathy... Lindsi's got a little bit of fever." "I'm going to call and see if I can't get her to the doctor today dear." "Okay.. Mind if I join you?" "Not at all. Lindsi is a big baby when it comes to the doctor though." Lindsi's mom said laughing. "I bet that's cute!" Trevor said. " She's always cutting up about something, something's always funny to her. And if theirs nothing to laugh at she makes something up. I swear that child is nuts somedays. Just laugh and giggle and poke fun. We will stay laughing most of the day. But when she gets like this she just droops. So I like to get her as well as I can as fast as I can." Lindsi's mom said from the kitchen. "Yes ma'am. I noticed this morning she wasn't her normal bubbly, happy self. Then I looked at her and knew she was sick." "You sure are special to her Trevor. She's waited a LONG LONG time for a boy like you to come along. Prayed and prayed. Even wrote a story about her perfect love." "I've waited for a girl just like her too, she is so unique, so different, I've NEVER seen nor met a girl like her. I'm so very proud to have her. A story you said? What was the guys name that was her perfect guy?" Lindsi mom smiled really big then. "Trevor."

Part 11.

Lindsi couldn't control herself. She ran to him. Chewy (her Maltese) barked his fool head off until Trevor bent down and scooped him up. "This must be the infamous Chewy. Hey Squirt!" Trevor said rubbing the top of his fuzzy head. Chewy was going crazy licking him. He usually didn't do that to people he'd only saw once. He'd barked at him when Trevor came into the house for their first date, but Lindsi's mom put him away shortly after that. He put Chewy back on the ground and then bent down to get a look at Maya (her new German Shepard/ Japanese Wolf puppy) "My my Maya. You are a beautiful puppy and loving too!" Trevor said as he let Maya jump on his legs and lick him to death. After she was done he rubbed her head and then stood to face Lindsi. "Now, you guys are both good looking dogs, but you can't compare to your momma. She is the best looking of them all." Trevor said as he pulled Lindsi in and held her and covered her in kisses. Lindsi burst out laughing. After Trevor stopped his kiss attack she said: "What in the world are you doing here on a Sunday? This is supposed to be family and Jesus's  day!" "I know and I'm sorry for showing up unannounced but I had to come see you. Dad wanted me to go to Wal-Mart any how so it was just a few more miles. I told him where I was going and he just laughed." "Trevor!" Lindsi and Trevor turned to see Lindsi's mom coming out to see them both. "What a surprise!" "I'm sorry Mrs. Chadwick, I did give Lindsi or you any notice I was dropping in but I had to come see Lindsi. I was in New Boston and it was just a couple more miles."  "It's fine. I don't mind. I'm sure Lindsi was surprised though." She said taking the leash's from Lindsi. "Thoroughly." Lindsi said hugging Trevor. Trevor wrapped his arms around her. "I'll take the dogs." Lindsi mom said as she started toward the house. I have something for you!" Trevor said as he opened the truck door. "You bought me something? TREVOR!" "I wanted to surprise you. Now close your eyes." Trevor said sheepishly. Lindsi did just that. "Open." When Lindsi opened her eyes Trevor stood behind the biggest bouquet of flowers Lindsi had ever seen. They weren't ordinary flowers either. They were the kind that are the really vibrant colors.  "TREVOR! OH MY GOODNESS! THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!" Lindsi said as she took the huge bouquet. "Just like you, I thought roses were too cliché so I got these because they are different and special like you." "Oh you! You are the best!" Lindsi said as she kissed Trevor. "I love it when you do that." Trevor said as the kiss ended. "Kiss you?" "Yes." Trevor said wrapping Lindsi in his arms again. About that time his phone rang. "Dammit.." Trevor said as he reached into his pocket. "Hello? Hey dad. Yea.. but.. yea.. I know. But.. yes. Sir." Trevor hung up. "Looks like dad needs this paint in a hurry so I got to go.." "Go get your dad his paint sweetheart." I'll see you tomorrow. You can walk me to class if you want." "What about if we got breakfast together too?" Trevor said. "Sure! When and where?" "How about McDonalds on Richmond?" "Yum.. it's a date." Lindsi said. "Thank you again for the flowers my amazing boyfriend." Trevor shivered. "I love it when you say that." He was such a ham. But a cute sweet ham at that. Lindsi stood on her tiptoes and kissed him goodbye. "See you at McDonald's in the morning love."  "Can't wait. I'll text you when I get home babe." "No rush sweetie. I'll be waiting." Trevor hugged Lindsi one last time and drove away. "Lindsi smelled the flowers and then walked in the house with them. "Oh MY! THOSE ARE GORGEOUS!" Lindsi's mom exclaimed when she saw them. "Aren't they though?" Lindsi responded. She found a vase for them and put them in her room. When she turned her mother was standing in the doorway. "He sure does like you. I've never seen a boy so crazy about a girl as Trevor is about you." "Oh mom! I'm just as crazy about him. But a part of me still has that guard up. But he's breaking most of it down everyday we spend together." "He is quite the charmer. And respectful, and sweet, and.." Lindsi was staring  at her mother with a huge smile on her face. "You like him too! That's rare!" "Well.. I just think your fairytale might have come true with this one.

Part 10

Lindsi went to sleep that night dreaming of the date she just had. Trevor had texted her and told her he was home before she decided to go to bed, so she didn't worry about him. She woke the next morning and go ready for church. Trevor texted her good morning and they talked for a while before they both had to go get ready for church. Lindsi loved going to church on Sunday. She always felt whole, and at peace with herself and so close to GOD. She loved hearing His word and listening attentively as the preacher brought the message. It was close to Thanksgiving, so the message was related to that. Lindsi had TONS and TONS of things to be thankful for. Her family, her health, her college, her two adorable puppies, and Trevor. GOD had blessed her so much. She was also thankful for the decision she made to finally let go of the reigns and let GOD rule over her life. It was by far the best decision she'd ever made.
She thought back to August when she was going through her last really bad breakup. She was wreck. Her face was broken out from stress, she was depressed all the time, her life was a roller coaster. Until the day she and her boyfriend decided to split. Jacob (her boyfriend at the time) was so controlling, and though the two usually got along, they had been fighting over the smallest things lately. The two were even talking marriage and kids. Lindsi at one point believed it was going to work out and that everything would be fine. But it all came crashing in around her. On top of being very controlling Jacob and Lindsi's mother butted heads constantly, and Jacob didn't believe in GOD. That was the biggest issue in the two's relationship. Lindsi had tried to witness to Jacob over and over again but he wasn't going to ever listen or change his views. So Lindsi because of this and along with other reasons told him point blank that they weren't working out and they split up. Lindsi took the breakup hard. Even though they didn't see eye to eye, Lindsi did love Jacob. But she knew in her heart and soul that it wasn't going to ever work out between the two of them. GOD was a HUGE part of Lindsi's life, and she needed someone who would respect, honor and embrace that fact. So it took a while but Lindsi eventually moved on. She didn't do it alone, for she knew she couldn't. Lindsi had to enlist the help of her Savior. So with God by her side Lindsi started college and focused more on bettering herself. Then God smiled  down upon her and blessed her with Trevor.
"So tell me more about your date!" Lindsi's mom said as the two stood in the kitchen after church. Lindsi had told her mom first thing that she had finally agreed to be Trevor's girlfriend. " Really!? That's great! You know I am so proud of you for waiting and not just jumping head first." Lindsi's mom had told her after Lindsi spilled the beans. "Well, that comes from experience mom and this time I was determined to get it right." Lindsi had retorted back. "Right you are. You did a good job." Lindsi's mother had said.
Lindsi described the date to her mother as she helped put away the dishes out of the dishwasher. "Look like you found your Romeo." Lindsi mother had said smiling. "Yes! I hope so at least." "I like him. He was very polite, had a firm handshake and rough hands." Lindsi's  mom said.  "I thought you would like that! His fingernails are clean too!" Lindsi said cracking up. Lindsi's mom would always tell this story of a man that Lindsi's grandma would not date because his fingernail were dirty. Lindsi's mom busted out laughing too. "Your grandmother will love to here that!" Right around that time Lindsi's phone dinged. "Trevor?" Lindsi mother asked as she dried a dish. "Yep." Lindsi said looking at her phone. "Hey baby! :) How was church?" Read the text. " Hey handsome! :) It was good. It was about Thanksgiving." Lindsi responded. "Does this mean you are going to be holed up in your room again?" Lindsi mom asked slightly peeved. "No. Just connected to my phone." "Since when are you NOT connected to that thing?" Lindsi's mom asked smiling. "Okay.. More so than usual." Lindsi said giving her mother a slight nudge with her shoulder. Lindsi had to admit that since she was boy free she was much closer to her family. She doubted that would change. Trevor was important but it was always God first, family second (including the dogs), college third, then boyfriend. Trevor was the same way. After Lindsi finished helping her mother in the kitchen, she decided she would got for a walk with the dogs. She hooked Chewy, her little Maltese to his camo leash and collar, and then went outside to wrangle her German Shepard into her red collar and pink leopard retractable leash. The three started on their walk. Lindsi loved days like today, the sun was shining, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, it was cool but rather warm for November. Lindsi's phone dinged with an incoming text. " What is my beautiful girl doing?" Trevor said. " Walking the dogs. What about you handsome?" Lindsi texted back. " Looking at this amazing, sweet girl round this corner." Lindsi was rounding a corner to go back home. She looked up and there in her driveway was Trevor's truck.

Part 9

After the kiss ended Trevor scooped Lindsi up and held her close. "I'm SO glad you said yes." Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi's forehead. "Me too! I'm glad you gave me the time to decide." Lindsi said as she hugged Trevor. "Now. Part 3." Trevor said as he set Lindsi down. "Part 3!?" Lindsi asked. "Yes. Watching the stars and cuddling under this here blanket." Trevor said. "You know something?" Lindsi said as she snuggled next to Trevor under the blanket. "What beautiful?" Trevor said as he wrapped his arms around Lindsi. "I've ALWAYS WANTED a date just like this one. It's like you read my mind." "Awh! Really? Well I told you this was my dream date too." Trevor said as he held Lindsi. "Mhm.. That's what's.." Lindsi yawned. "So cool about it, about us." "Are you sleepy?" Trevor asked. "Well, Yes. See with my homework and Maya, my new puppy I got a month ago, I am slightly sleep deprived." "My poor girl." Trevor said as he pulled Lindsi closer. She laid her head on his shoulder. " You know.. If you want to take a short  nap we have an hour before we have to be back at your house." "There's no way I could sleep right now! Not during the date of my life!" Lindsi said laughing. "Alright then!" Trevor said.  Lindsi gave him a dignified nod and smiled. "Trevor..." "Yes AngelGirl?" "Do.. you think God put us together...?" Trevor shifted Lindsi in his arms so he could hold her and look at her at the same time. "Yes... I think He did. I think He made us both wait but.. I think we are meant to be in His eyes, at least I hope so." "Well I waited on Him and then here you come out of the blue! I have to say.. I was guarded.. I'm used to guys just after one thing.." Lindsi said looking away. Trevor lifted Lindsi's chin and looked at her. "I'm not. I PROMISE you. I promise." Lindsi touched Trevors hand. "I know. I know." " Let me love you Lindsi. Let me in. I want to heal you, help you, be there at 3 A.M. when you are having a problem. Believe me. All you gottta do is text me or call and I will drive all the way from TK with my flashers on to get to you." Lindsi smiled. "Awh!" "It's true." "I'm guilty of falling for a guy too easy Trevor.. I did.. and every time I did they left  me to suffer.. that's why it's so hard for me now.." Then Trevor did something Lindsi never would have suspected. "Fall when your ready baby, let our kiss count the moments, and heart set the pace, and I'll be your love song, and I'll sweep you right off your feet, til you fall into me." Trevor sang. "That's... Brantley Gilberts song "Fall Into Me"! Lindsi exclaimed. "Yes sweetheart and the word of that song are true." "TREVOR!!!" Lindsi gushed as she snuggled into him. "I'm not going to push you Lindsi. I know you have been hurt ALOT, but I need you to know I'm not one of those guys. I'll always be here for you babe." Trevor said as he kissed Lindsi's forehead. "I know Trevor. I know. I believe you. But I still feel like this is a dream and I'm going to wake up at home in my bed." "Babe, this isn't a dream. It's our own personal fairytale. You are my Princess." "Thank you Prince Charming." Lindsi said and smiled as she kissed Trevor again. "I hate to say but the clock is about to strike 12. But fear not. I will see you Monday and text you and call you like crazy until then." Lindsi smiled. "I'm fine with that." Lindsi and Trevor then got back into the truck and started toward Lindsi's house again. When they got there Trevor walked Lindsi to the door. "I had a GREAT time tonight." Trevor said to Lindsi. "ME TOO!" It was actually my first REAL date.." Lindsi confessed. "Wow!" Trevor said. "Yea.. I know.. lame." "NO! Not at all. I actually thank your douchebag ex's." "You do?" Lindsi said puzzled. "Yes. I do. Because if they hadn't let you go I wouldn't have ever found you." "I'm so glad you did." Lindsi said shyly. "Me too Lindsi." Trevor said as he neared for a goodnight kiss. Lindsi wrapped her arms around his neck and his slipped around her waist. The two kissed then. And for once in her life Lindsi felt like this was were she was supposed to be. She had no worries, no questions, no fears, no anxiety. Her head and her heart both agreed. This guy was amazing and that was a good feeling to have. The two broke apart. "Goodnight Trevor." "Goodnight Lindsi." Lindsi turned and unlocked the door and Trevor turned to go. "It's so sad to see you go..." Lindsi said lingering at the door. "Fear not Princess." Trevor said and walked to his truck. Lindsi stepped inside the door and didn't even get it shut and her phone buzzed. She knew who it was. "I miss you" The text read. She shut the door and looked out the living room window. There stood Trevor by his truck, driver's door open, phone in hand and a big smile on his face. She blew him a kiss out the window and texted back: "I miss you too! NO TEXTING AND DRIVING." He caught her kiss and put it in his heart and smiled as her text came back. He put a thumb up and waved as he climbed into his truck and drove off. She watched out the window until he was gone, then walked back to her room thinking to herself. "The white horse was traded for a lifted Z 71. But the boy is everything I've ever wanted."
