Hey there readers! I've finally got to write the first chapter of the sequel to New Year's Eve. I'd like to again, thank you all for reviewing, following, and such. I love the support that you all give me, and that keeps me motivated to write more. :D Now, the drama won't come right away; that will be a while, so enjoy some of the happy stuff while you got it. Enough of me now, let's get to the story. I present to you the first chapter of: Just Like That Night. Enjoy!
Ally's POV
I can't believe Austin and I have been together for a year now! Today is our anniversary, and I couldn't wait for what he has planned. Even though I haven't talked to him yet today, I figured he was busy getting ready for it and planning some last-minute stuff. I mean, that was always the case. Austin would always surprise me on our anniversaries; but of course, I always kept track of how long we've been together, so I knew when they were. They've always been so special. I think my favorite out of all them though, would have to be, our six month anniversary.
Six Months Ago
"Austin? Where are you taking me?" I say. I'm a bit worried; he's never had to blindfold me before. Then again, it must be so special, that he couldn't let me see where we are going.
"You'll find out soon Ally. Just a little while longer." he answers.
We're in Austin's car, and of course, he's driving. Well, that was stupid of me to think. Of course he would be driving; I'm the one that's blindfolded. I giggle at my thought.
"What's so funny?" he asks me.
I reply, "Oh nothing."
"Aww, come on," Austin insists. "Tell me."
"Nope." I throw back.
"Don't make me use my puppy dog eyes on you Dawson."
"Hmm," I say, pretending to think. "That's kind of hard to do when I'm blindfolded Moon." I start to laugh a bit, and he does to, when we stop. I guess he forgets about it; because I assume we're here.
"Okay, Ally. You only have to keep the blindfold on a little while longer." I hear him get out of the red sports car and open the door for me. He grabs my hand and starts to guide me slowly.
I ask impatiently, "When do I get to have this blindfold taken off me?"
"In a minute Alls," Austin says calmly. "We're almost there."
I sigh. I think of where we could be. It can't be the beach, I don't feel any sand. We're not in the city; I don't really hear anything. I had lost all sense of direction when Austin started driving. I tried to picture in my head, where our destination could be. I come up with, nothing. I'm distracted from my thoughts when he starts talking.
"Alright Ally," he begins. "Now you can take it off."
I hastily take off the blindfold, and couldn't believe what I'm seeing. "Oh my gosh, Austin." I say. Starting to feel the tears come, I hold them back and cover my mouth with both of my hands. Austin just looks at me dreamily; clearly satisfied that I loved this so much. "It's beautiful, I love it." Everything was so perfect that I felt like I was dreaming.
Austin and I were up on a hill that looked over the city lights of Miami. We are surrounded by trees to give off that nature kind of feeling and the grass is just perfect. I know, how can grass be perfect? I mean, it wasn't too short or too tall, it was the perfect kind of green, and it was just a bit crisp; just how I liked it. There's also a blanket set up on the ground with a picnic basket. The moon was out, a full moon, which gave it that romantic feel to everything. I observe all of this; taking it in to savor forever. I couldn't ask for something better.
Watching my expression, Austin says, "Well, I'm glad you like it, Alls. Let's sit down and eat. I'm starving."
"Gee, Austin," I tease. "You're always hungry." We both laugh, knowing that I was right. The boy usually had some kind of food with him most of the time.
"Hey, I need food," he states. "Do you know how long it took to build up these guns?" He flexes his muscles and I feel them. It was quite impressive, he really does work out.
Austin takes out pancakes for us to eat. Mm…pancakes. I love pancakes; not as much as Austin though. He then takes out a HUGE jar of pickles. "For you, Ally," he says politely.
"Pickles!" I quickly take the pickles out of his hands and embrace it.
"What?" he questions. "I don't get a hug?"
I start to tease him, "Aww. Is Austy a wittle jealwous?" I begin laughing as did he.
He scoffs. "Well, it's not like the jar of pickles planned the anniversary." We laugh even more. Austin had such a cute and sweet laugh; I could just die.
Giving him a hug, which he tightly embraces, I say, "Thank you, Austin."
"No problem Alls," he says. We let go and he adds, "You know I'd do anything for you." He notices me blush, and I look down at the jar. I notice him smile at me. And with that, we start to eat.
I kept complimenting and thanking him for everything, and he doesn't seem to mind it. That's one of the great things I loved about my boyfriend. He never seemed to mind how many times I repeated things. By the time we were both done eating, we stand up, ready to head on home. But before we go, Austin gives me something.
"Ally," he begins. "I want to give you something before we go." He takes out a silver locket that's shaped like a heart and gives it to me. I rarely see these anymore; it's amazing that he has one. "Go ahead. Open it." he says.
I carefully unlock it to find a picture of Austin and me. In the picture, Austin has his arm around me, and I have my arm around him. That picture wasn't taken too long ago; we were on the beach and school had ended the day before. I was in my red swim suit. It was a two piece bikini Trish had convinced me to wear to make Austin drool over me. It seemed to work actually; I saw him look at me in awe when I took off my cover clothing. Austin on the other hand, was in his yellow swim trunks. I couldn't help but look at the abs he had. That boy definitely knows how to impress a girl, me in particular. We both had an awesome time at the beach even though he picked me up and threw me into the cool ocean.
I decided to speak up, "Wow, Austin. Thank you so much. How were you able to get a silver locket anyway? I never see these anymore."
"Don't worry about it," he assured. "But I'm happy you love your present." He puts it on around me and I earn a mini shiver when his hand brushes against the skin of my neck.
I suddenly remember that I got Austin a present as well. "Oh, Austin. I have a present for you too, but it's at home. I'm sorry, I totally forgot about it."
"It's cool Alls," he says. "We should probably get going anyway. I can come back to clean this up later."
On our way home, we listen and sing along to the radio. We were singing along to one of Austin's old songs, Can You Feel It. He always loved being on the radio; it made him feel special. When we get to my house, I tell Austin I will be right back and to wait. I quickly go inside, and grab his present off the table in less than thirty seconds. When I go back outside, I find Austin sitting on the porch waiting for me.
"What took so long?" he jokes.
I roll my eyes at him and give him the wrapped box. He rips through the paper excitedly, wanting to see what I got him. He then takes out my gift, a tie with pancakes as its design.
"Whoa," he says. Even in the dark, I can see his face light up. "A pancake tie! I love it Ally! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He hugs me, and we seem to stay in that position for a while.
"I love you Austin," I say.
A big smile grows on his face as I say, "I love you too Ally." He kisses me, and it feels just like that night. That night we got together, New Year's Eve.
Present
I smile like a big goof, imagining it as if I'm reliving it. I hope that tonight will be unforgettable, and may be even better than our six month anniversary. I then hear Double Take, the song that got Austin famous, thanks to me of course. I recognize it as Austin's ring tone, and I realize it's him calling me, so I pick up the phone.
Ta-da! A little bit of a cliffy at the end, but doesn't this make you more excited for the next chapter? I know it does for me; I love cliff hangers and then, hate them at the same time. It's like OMG! What's going to happen next?! I also thought it was funny that Ally teased Austin about the whole jar of pickles thing. And a pancake tie! I know Austin would really love it, hopefully. DisneyLover16 is out! Peace!
