***Andy's POV***
The country fair is today. I guess my mom wrote this on the calendar. I looked down a little and found 2 tickets with a note. I opened it up and read it.
Dear Andy,
Your father and I decided to let you go to the country fair today with your friends. There's an extra ticket here so you can take your new girlfriend. So go and have some fun!
Love, Mom
I facepalmed when she wrote 'girlfriend.' I guess she thinks Beta's my girlfriend too..
I grabbed the tickets and shoved them into my pants pocket. I went up to my room and grabbed some money I earned through chores and gigs. I grabbed my wallet and shoved my money and tickets inside.
I left through the back door and walked up the small bridge Chance and I built to Beta's house. I went around the side and to the front door. I heard someone singing and automatically thought it was someone listening to a CD or something.
I knocked on the door. A few seconds later, Trinity answers the door.
"Oh, hi Andy," she said.
"Hey, is it just you home?" I asked, looking around. I didn't see Beta nor their parents. Although, the singing was definitely clear and whoever Trinity was listening to had the most amazing voice.
"What CD are you listening to?" I asked.
Trinity giggled. "I'm not listening to a CD. My sister is singing." She said.
"Wait.. I thought you wear a hearing aid? How do you hear her?"
"Yeah.. I'm only half deaf." She said.
"Oh.. Okay. So, where is Beta? I need to ask her something."
Trinity pointed to her right. "She's doing the dishes." She turned towards the livingroom area. "Be sure to take your shoes off." She said over her shoulder.
I pulled off my boots and put them to the side. I turned the corner and saw Beta scrubbing dishes and putting them in the dish washer. She had earbuds in and was singing along to the music.
"I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone.." I heard her sing. Then the song changed. "So why do good girls like bad guys? I had this question for a really long time.."
She sounded amazing. More than amazing.
I quietly walked over to her and stood behind her.
***Beta's POV***
I felt a sort of warmth behind me. I ignored it thinking Trinity came in to get a juice box. But then, I felt arms wrap around me. I dropped the knife and sponge I was holding in the sink and turned around. I saw Andy slightly smirking. He still had his arms around me. My face felt hot and my heart was pounding in my chest. I pulled my earbuds out.
"You scared the shit out of me." I said, putting my hand on my face.
"Sorry. Didn't mean to. Figured you would've liked a hug from me," he said, pulling me closer to him.
"It's not liked I didn't want a hug from you. I just wasn't expecting an extremely tall guy with giraffe legs to stand behind me and wrap his arms around me without me knowing. That's all." I said laughing.
Andy put his hand under my chin and lifted my head with his finger. He stared into my eyes and I stared into his. He looked concerned.
"What?" I asked.
