#thread:travis&sabrina

tonight was the night he’d been waiting for. he had a date tonight but tonight just wasn’t any date it was the date. the date he wasn’t sure he was going to get. sabrina hadn’t been like any other girl he’d met and he really didn’t think that she was going to give into her charm but obviously, he was wrong. luckily for him, she’d agreed to one date and the smile on his face when she’d agreed was wider than he had ever smiled before. he knew he probably looked like an idiot too, grinning from ear to ear, but that had been the last thing on his mind in that moment. travis couldn’t even remember the last time he’d been on a date and he changed more times than he’d probably admit but that wasn’t what was important. what was important was the fact that he was so excited to go on that date with the curled hair journalist that caught his eyes just days before. he’d eventually decided on a clean plaid shirt, which he didn’t have a lot of, his cowboy hat, jeans that fit just right, and his cowboy boots. he hoped he wasn’t too underdressed, especially since he was set on impressing her. the picnic basket he’d packed for them sat in the bed of his truck along with a couple of blankets and the flowers he’d picked out were set in the passenger seat. he grabbed them once he made it to her place and took in a deep breath, “you can do this.” he breathed out, giving himself a small pep talk as he jumped out of his truck and walked up to her front door. he took one last deep breath as he rang her doorbell and when the door swung open, a grin took over his face. “wow, you’re beautiful.” 

travis wasn’t one for a couples costume or really anything that came to matching with someone else but sabrina had convinced him and honestly, it didn’t take much. the two had only gone out a couple of times and she, well, she already had him completely wrapped around her finger. he wasn’t sure how that happened but she had completely caught his attention and he liked her. he grinned as she leaned his hand against the wall to hold his weight, his body towering over hers as she leaned back against the wall. he was grinning down at her, really taking in how beautiful she looked in her costume. “i’m havin’ a whole lot of fun with you tonight, sabrina.” he informed her, as if she didn’t know by the dumb smile on his face. the two of them had danced a couple of times and flirted a bunch, and he couldn’t remember the last time he enjoyed his time with a girl like this. he used his free hand to cup her cheek and leaned in to press a small kiss against her lips. he wasn’t even one for pda but he couldn’t contain himself. he slowly pulled away, “what do you say we jump back on the dance floor for another dance?”

travis parked in front of the coffee shop, one he frequented more often than not. really, he made this adventure into town and away from the farm to get some feed for his cattle but he didn’t see anything wrong with stopping for something to feed his caffeine addiction. he stopped, unbuckling his seat belt but his eyes had landed on a girl who was walking down the sidewalk. he smiled involuntarily. she was pretty, sure, but out of his league and he knew that. that didn’t stop the smile on his face though and as she walked into the coffee shop, he wondered if that was a sign. he thought he might as well give it a shot. he inhaled a deep breathed and jumped out of the vehicle before going inside, his eyes landing on her as she stood at the counter. he approached, slowly, “excuse me, ma’am.” he started, his tongue poking out to wet his lips. “are ya in any kind of hurry? if you’re not, do ya think i could join you for a cup of coffee?”
