Tastes Like Watermelon Moonshine (Once Upon A Country Song #1)

I hum along. I can’t help it. The tune is so catchy. And the words…

“Watermelon Moonshine” is my song. Okay, it isn’t really my song, but it could be. It really could be. From right after senior year, to thinking the high of love would last forever… I’ve lived it all.

Tears begin to form, just like they always do when this song comes on.

I don’t want the memory of my first love to be like it is in the song. I don’t want us to go our separate ways, never to see each other again. All she had left in the song were the memories. I want more than memories. I want him. Forever.

Watermelon moonshine… The sweet memory of his gentle heart, his sweet words, his tender touch, the taste of his kiss. The bitter memory of making a mistake, of not knowing when or if I’ll see him again.

My fingers hover over his contact info. Do I have the guts to do it?

My thumb shakes from my nervousness and the screen reacts. Then the sound of a phone line ringing echoes through the silence of my car.

It rings. But he doesn’t answer.

He was the one. I was so sure. And now… it just tastes like watermelon moonshine.
