It's a Love Story

Mike blushed slightly. "Y'all have fun, now," he smiled at them and let them go do their girly things while he took a shower and got dressed.

Lilli smiled and sat down on the bed ready to do cassie's make up.

Cassie sat still for her, though she still talked. "What's it like livin' in the city," she asked her.

"Loud sometimes, but fun. There's always something to do." she said.

"I bet - this place is so big," she said.

"I would like to show you around before you leave." she offered.

"Ohh, that'd be fun," she smiled.

She smiled, finishing up the makeup. "Alright, you're done. Go look and tell me if you want something different."

Cassie bounced up and went to go look in the mirror. "Ohh, I look pretty!"

"You looked pretty before." Lilli smiled. "Go show Mike."

"Mikey, Mikey," she bounced to go find her brother.

Mike chuckled. "You look a little more grown up now," he kissed the top of her head so he didn't mess up her makeup. "Still as pretty as before, though."

"I like a little bit of make up. Just to accent things." Lilli smiled

"You did a wonderful job," Mike smiled at her.

She smiled, blushing slightly as his compliment. "Thank you."

"Not at all," Mike chuckled softly. "Get ready, yourself. I'll finish packing up and go down to help set things up."

She nodded, adding a few curls to her hair in the bathroom and fixing her make up. She came out later and smiled. "I'm ready." She was wearing jeans and a purple flannel shirt.

Mike had his instruments packed and loaded up on his back and shoulders. He picked up his guitar case with his hand and held his free hand to take hers. "I like it," he smiled.

She smiled and slipped her hand into his. "Think I can pull off a country girl?"

"You pull off one very well," he smiled, holding her hand as they walked.

"Good!" she smiled, walking with him happily.

He smiled and got to the conference room and helped his cousins and friends from home set the whole thing up, lights and all. They got the testing done and were all ready to party within an hour.

Lilli helped also, setting up the tables that needed to be covered. When Mike got up there and sang a song for the sound check, she leaned against a table, watching him with a smile on her face.

Cassie smiled up at Lilli. "You like him," she guessed.

Lilli looked down at the little girl and blushed slightly, nodding. "Hope that's okay with you." she smiled.
