A Girl In An Auto Shop

Jason's pov

It's buck hunting season in a few weeks. I'm messaging Willie begging him to call it off but he just won't budge. Miranda walks back inside from whatever she was doing. She's covered in sweat and smoking a cigarette. "Hey girl, ya know it's almost hunting season?" She nods and wipes the sweat off her forehead. "What have you been doing?" She smiles. "Practicing." "Hunting?" She nods and goes to the kitchen, coming back with two beers. I can't though. I'm about to go to the studio. I tell her and she says, "More for me." I laugh at that. I'm not too big on smoking inside. Luke hates that I smoke and when he comes over and smells it, he rags me and it gets annoying. But I don't say anything. She finishes off the first beer and we were watching sports. She puts the finished cigarette in the empty beer bottle. "Ya know I never did ask where are you from?" "Oh a little town a little ways passed the Mississippi." She says, looking away. "You like dodging questions." "No I hate talking about my past." Oh her parents. "I'm sorry darlin' we don't have to." I gotta get to the studio. I stand up and get my boots on. "I'll be back later tonight. I'm gonna get a few songs under my belt." "Funny word choice." She says, laughing. I roll my eyes. "Do you always have such a dirty mind?" I say, leaning over the back of the couch. She laughs again, looking up at me. "Only when I'm around you, cowboy." I kiss her goodbye and get to the studio. Mike was on his laptop at his desk. "Hey Mike, what's up?" He smiles while still staring at the screen. I'm confused. "Triple number one party comin' up!" He gasps, standing up. "Wait.... Triple number one! All three singles went number one!" He nods. "Dude this is great!" I gasp. "You know it, man!" We highfive and he goes back to his laptop. I guess we should pick a fourth single. "Hey about gonna know we were here be our fourth single?" He asks. My eyes go wide. "Dude, you just read my mind. I was thinkin' the same thing." He smiles and taps on the computer. I guess I'm going back home.

*a few days later*

We invited all the buckmen and a few other friends of mine to the triple number one party. "Tyler, Brian, thanks for writing burnin' it down for me. Another number one." "Good job Jason. I knew you'd rock it." We shake hands. Luke runs over with a beer in his hand. "Dude, get this, Tim McGraw just pulled the most epic prank on me ever!" "Huh? What prank?" He laughs hysterically. "Dude are you drunk?" "No you'll die when you see this!" We go outside where a bunch of people are laughing and Tim has his arms crossed over his chest, looking satisfied. My eyes go wide in shock. How can Luke be laughing?! He probably is drunk. "Luke, he spraypainted your bronco!!" He walks over. "It's okay." Okay?! Is he crazy?! He wipes a finger on it and it comes right off. I breathe a relieved sigh. "Fake." He nods. "I'm gonna get ya back Tim!" I roll my eyes and walk back inside. "There ya are." I smile hearing my amazing girl's voice. She grabs my shoulders, pulling me back. I lose my balance a little. "Babe what's-" She stops me with a kiss. "Congrats on your win." She says, smiling and putting her lit cigarette back in her mouth. I pull the cigarette out of her mouth and take a drag off it. "Number ones ain't the only thing I won, baby girl." She smirks. "I sure am lucky to have a guy like you." She says. "I'm the lucky one princess." I say, kissing her again. I toss the cigarette in a cup of water. "I'm so ready for kicking Willie's ass in buck commander." I can't help but laugh. "I'm not. I don't wanna see that crazy hillbilly naked!" She laughs. We go outside where the sun is setting. "My dear, you are gonna have a great time on tour." "I can't wait Jay." She glances back. "What's say we ditch this party and have our own little party at home?" She whispers in my ear. I love this girl! She knows just how to get me. I kiss her hard. "Yes lets."

*later*

I take a long drag off my cigarette. "Damn darlin', that was..... Great." She taps the ashes off hers. "Right back at ya. Party at the Aldean house." I laugh a little and watch the smoke rise from my cigarette. "My life..... Just got so much better...... When you slid out from under my truck." She smiles and taps her cigarette out. "Man, how lucky I was to be the mechanic." She kisses me. My hand falls to the side in surprise, the cigarette falling to the ground as my arms wrap around her. "Before you, I never saw a girl mechanic." I pour the glass of whiskey on the cigarette I dropped. A perfect end to a perfect night after a perfect day with the perfect girl.
