Austins POV
It was a peaceful afternoon. There was a light breeze in the air. As I was out front in my front yard, raking the leafs that had fallen from the trees.
I was tired. I had been working in the yard all afternoon. As I wiped away the sweat off my brow with the sleeve of my jacket I could feel a light breeze blow into my face. I sighed deeply at how amazing that had felt.
As I was busy putting all the raked leaves into a black bag I heard my mother calling from the front door." Austin! Dinners ready!" She yelled. "I'll be right there!" I yelled back to her as she closed the front door.
After making sure the yard was clean, the bags full of leaves were in the trash and the tools were in the shed. I made my way into the house. "Something smells great." I said as I smelt the freshly baked foods from the kitchen. Mt mom laughed. "I'm glad your hungry."
"What we having?" I asked as I walked into the kitchen. " Chicken ala King." My mom said as he put the food on the dinning room table. "Austin! Go take a shower and get dresses. Remember, dad is bringing a friend over tonight and we must look our best." My mom said as she looked at me and how I looked all sweaty and in old worn out clothes.
"Oh, yeah sorry mom!" I said as I ran upstairs to take a shower.
Ally's POV
I was in my room getting ready to go to the Moons family dinner tonight. My mom said I had to look my best. So I decided to wear my new dress that me and Trish bought when we were at the mall. It was a strapless dress that came up till above my knees. It was a mint lace dress. It had a flower pattern on the top and a plain light mint on the rest of the dress. I put my hair up in a high ponytail and whore my favorite necklace with my name on it. I decided to wear my white wedges and I put on some light make up.
There was a knock on my door. "Come in!" I said as I was busy putting on my shoes. "Sweety where about to-" my mom lost her words as she saw me."You look beautiful!"she said as she gave me a hug. "Thanks mom." I said. "Ummm mom?"
"Yes sweetheart?" My mom asked. "Your kind of blocking the oxygen."I said trying to breathe. My mom let me go. "Oh! Sorry."
"Its okay. So are we leaving ?" I asked as I fixed my now slight wrinkled dress. "Yip let's go." She said a bit to exited if you ask me.
As we got to the Moons house I was house wasn't too big or too small. It was perfect! A double story house with a beautiful front yard and a balcony joined with one of the rooms. I was amazed at how beautiful everything was. And to top it of they had a fountain in the corner of the front yard spraying water in different colours. As I got out of the car I made my way to the front door, along with my mother and father.
opened the door for us. She looked stunning! She wore a knee high red dress with her hair curled down her back. And she whore a light shade of make up. "Oh! Good evening." She greeted us with a smile. "Please,come in." She opened the door and we all joined her in the house. It was even prettier on the inside!I was truly amazed!
Austin's POV
I was fixing my hair in the mirror before I left my room. "Son. The Dawson's are here." My dad said as he knocked on my door. I gave on more look into the mirror before leaving my room. I was wearing a black jean with red vans and a white button up shirt with my hair naturally messy. As I walked down stairs I saw my mother
indicate that I should greet."Hello . Its a pleasure to meet you. And you too ." I greeted as I shook both their hands. "What a kind young
gentleman." Said . "And he's handsome too." Said . "Oh Austin. Don't forget to greet Ally,their daughter." My mother said as I turned around.
My heart started beating at an abnormal pace and my breathing was getting heavy. She was beautiful. Her dress fit her curves perfectly. And she just looked...WOW!
"Hello. I'm Ally Dawson. Its nice to meet you." She said as she put out her hand for
me to shake. I couldn't find my words. "Meet nice to you." I tried to say. She giggled at my sudden los for words. "I mean. Its nice to meet you too Ally. I'm Austin Moon." I said as I shook her hand and gave her a smile.
"Now. Shall we all join at the table to have some dinner?" Asked my dad as he looked at us. "Oh why yes that's sounds lovely!" Answered .
"Austin you will sit next to Ally." Said my mother as we made our way to the dinning room.
Ally's POV
The grownups were all taking about politics and money and important things that I didn't really care for. I looked to my right to see Austin struggling to keep his chicken ala king from falling of his fork."Maybe if you use you knife to steady it, it would stay on." I suggested as I showed him an example. Austin studied my doings and copied me. After swallowing his food he looked over at me. "Thanks." He said and gave me a goofy smile. Man oh man was he hot! I know, I know I am not suppose to think stuff like this. I am suppose to be a lady, but man!Was he good looking! I pushed my thoughts of Austin to the back of my mind as I focused on finishing my dinner.
After everyone was done eating gave Austin an instruction. "Austin. Why don't you show Ally around."
"Sure thing." Austin replied as he stood up from his chair. "Thank you for the meal . it was delicious." I thanked as I stood up from my chair to follow Austin.
We walked out of the dining room and back to the main entrance."Okay so this is were the living room is." Said Austin and he showed me a big room with a flats screen TV. "The bathroom. Study. Music room."
"Wait. You have a music room?" I asked in disbelieve. "Um yeah. Why?" Austin asked a bit confused. "Because I LOVE music." I said as I walked into the room. "You like music?" Austin asked as he crossed his arms. "Um, yeah." I said turning red in my cheeks as I looked to the floor.
"Awesome me too!" Austin said. Giving me a startle at the sudden outburst." Shall we see the rest of the house?" Asked Austin and he gave me a smile. "I'd love too!" I said as we made our way to the door. "Malady."Austin said as he let me walk through the door first. "Why thank you." I said as he showed me the rest of the house and the back yard as well.
"Its such a beautiful night don't you think?" I asked Austin as I looked up at all the stars in the sky. "Yeah, it really is." Austin said as he joined me in looking up at the stars. "Kids! Could you come inside please we have something to tell you." Called as me and Austin looked away from the sky and to were was calling."Shall we?" Asked Austin."We shall." I said and we both laughed.
"So, what did you want to talk about?" Asked Austin as he sat down next to me on the sofa. I joined him as we looked at our parents a bit confused. "Well. We have been talking about this for the last few months now and we have finally come to a decision." Answered my mom as she looked at me and Austin and then to my dad and to Mr. And Mrs. Moon.
"Decision on what?" I asked as confused as ever. I could see Austin wasn't on the same track as out parents and nether was I. "We have decided that it would be best for our businesses, friendship and families that it would be best if you two were to get married." Said as my eyes grew wide.
"What?!" Me and Austin asked as we both stood up onto our feet and no longer in a sitting position. "Yes! Isn't it just wonderful!" Said my mom. I was confused, angry, sad. I didn't know what to feel! I would never be able to fall in love with whom I wanted to! I was forced to marry someone my parents think would fit for their own benefits! I ran outside into the back yard. I needed fresh air
Austin's POV
I was dumbfounded! I was to marry Ally Dawson! I didn't know how to feel! I just met the girl and already we're getting married! Ally ran outside. And I did the first thing that came to mind, follow her. I saw her sitting on the swinging bench
Outside. "Hey." I said as I sat next to her but not to close I sat far enough to give her some space. "Hey." She replayed giving me a sad smile. "Are you okay?" I asked her.
"No..." She answered as she looked to her hands and away from me. "I will never be able to fall in love...I will never be able to experience true love...I have always had to do what my parents say. Yes mom. Okay dad. But never do what I want to do." Ally said as I saw a single tear slide down her face and land on her hands. I moved closer to her and put my arm around her to try and comfort her.
"Shhh! Its okay don't cry. I know this isn't what you want. Its not really what I want ether." I said as he looked up at me. "It isn't?" She asked me as I wiped away her tears. "Well, you are a beautiful girl and from what I've heard your very smart, kind and a loving person and I wouldn't mind marrying you, But I also want to experience true love." I said as I looked into Ally's soft kind brown eyes.
"Thanks." She said as her cheeks turned a light shade of pink. "No problem." I said as I let go of her. "Ally. Are you okay?" Asked Ally's mom as she came outside. "I'll be inside." I told her and she just nodded.
Ally POV
After Austin left my mom took the seat were he had sat. "Sweety,I know this isn't what you expected. But its for the best." My mom said as he put an arm around me to try and make me feel better. "Your right this isn't what I excepted. This isn't even what I want!" I said as I stood up and looked down at her.
"I wanted to experience true love mom! I wanted to find the one! But now I can't because now I'm engaged! I'm only 18 mom! And I'm already getting married! What's next grandkids when I'm 20?!" I asked/yelled at my mother.
She got up and hugged me. I just cried. I cried into my mothers shoulder as she held me close. "I know sweety and I'm sorry! I really am but I know for a fact that you will learn to love Austin just like I learned to love your father." My mom said as she wiped away my tears. "Now lets go inside its getting cold." My mom said as we walked into the house with my moms arm around my shoulders.
Me and my mother joined the rest of the group in the living room. "So? Are you two willing to do this?" Asked my dad.
I looked over at Austin and then to my mom. My mom gave me a reassuring smile and Austin as well. " I'm in if Ally's in." Said Austin. Everyone turned to look at me.
I took a deep breath. "Okay." Was all I said and the parents cheered in happiness. My mom had let me go to join in with the cheering of the other adults.
"Are you sure about this?! Austin asked me as he came and stood next to me. I looked up at him. "Positive!" I said as I looked at my parents.
Maybe this new life I'm about to embark on isn't so bad. Maybe I'll learn to love Austin and maybe he will learn to love me. I just hope everything goes well.
I hope you guys and gals liked it! Please review if you did or if you have any ideas what so ever! Thanks!
