Here's chapter 2! Don't forget to read and review!

*Ally's POV*

I was running down the stairs to see Austin. I didn't know what I should do. Hug him? Say hi? But I saw that same little sparkle in his eye that I saw at the party and I decided to go with the hug. But that wasn't up to me to decide. I would've gotten the hug either way because Austin scooped me up just before I got to him and spun me around in a very big hug. I wasn't even touching the ground. He finally put me down and said,
"I missed you so much Ally. I really really did."
"I missed you too. I wish you could've gone with me, New York was amazing. I went right through Times Square. I pictured you singing there on New Year's Eve. I think that's the perfect stage." I said.
"Whoa, cool! Did you get pictures?" he said fascinated.
"Of course I did! Do you really think I would go to New York and not take pictures?" I said obviously.
"Oh, I got something for you too." He said pulling something out of his pocket.
"So I've heard" I said.

He laughed shortly and handed me the small little box.
"Open it. It's all yours." He said.
I opened it up to find the most beautiful piece of jewelry I've ever seen.
"Oh Austin! It's beautiful!" I gasped.
"You really think so? I also got you these." He said handing me flowers.
"Oh Austin. You're the best friend anybody could ever have." I said. "I bet all your girlfriends were so lucky." I joked.
"Well, actually, you're the only person I've ever given gifts to." He admitted.

I suddenly was blushing again. I saw Austin smirking at me. Yet he was actually blushing too. Here was that awkward moment I didn't want to face. Although I really wanted him to kiss me. I had been longing for that feeling again ever since I left. I halfway got what I wanted. He pulled me into a little hug and kissed me on the cheek. Not all the way what I was hoping for but I guess it'll do.
"I've got another surprise for you too" he whispered.
"What is it?" I said.
"Like I said, it's a surprise. Just meet me on the top of Marino Park hill tomorrow after lunchtime." He said.
What was he planning? Was this a date? What was going on?! After that he smiled and left.

I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. I went up to the practice room and screamed with excitement. I danced around like a total idiot but I didn't care because nobody could see me. I spent the rest of the day working the store. After i closed up, I tried really hard to go to sleep because it was really late. I managed to come up with a few hours of sleep before whatever was waiting for me tomorrow.

When I woke up, I immediately got excited all over again. I tried to look as cute as possible when I was picking something to wear. I decided not to overdo it and just go casual. I put on my beachy shorts and a tank top with a loosely fitting colored shirt over top. And my flip flops. I waited forever until it was time to meet Austin. I walked to the park and sure enough, Austin was sitting at the top of the hill where I was supposed to meet him.

*Austin's POV*

Ally was just about to jump on top of me to hug me but I wanted to be one step ahead of her. I stepped in and picked her up off her feet spun her around and hugged her really tight. I put her down and told her how much I missed her. She replied with the same thing. She told me how great New York was. And how she wished I was there with her. I decided now was a good time for her gift. I handed it to her for her to open. She opened it and expressed how much she loved it. She joked about my girlfriends being so lucky to have me as a boyfriend. But I had to admit to her that she was the only one I've ever given any gifts to. I don't know why, but nobody else has been special enough to me to deserve a gift. Nobody except Ally.

I decided I wanted to take her out tomorrow so we can have a day to ourselves to catch up on lost time. We were just looking at each other, she was blushing and I know I was too. I wanted to scoop her up and kiss her again. But I figured that it was too soon for that considering neither one of us knows our current status on our relationship. So I used my willpower again and just barely hugged her and have her a tiny harmless kiss on the cheek. I told her where to meet me for tomorrow and left. I wanted to kinda leave her hanging like that so that way it'll be more special when I see her tomorrow.

I didn't know how she felt until just after I got on the sidewalk outside the store and I heard Ally screaming and laughing and dancing around. She forgot to close the window to the practice room. But I couldn't keep myself from laughing. I laughed and walked on and just decided not to bring it up. I went home made sure everything was planned to perfection. I still wanted it to be spontaneous though, but I figured I should just have my basic events planned and hope for the best with the rest.

The next morning I was getting ready for my 'date' I guess you could call it, with Ally. I knew that it was a date, but I just wanted Ally to think of it as my welcome back party for her. That way she can make what she wants of it. I didn't want to overdress for the occasion since I knew what I was planning. So I just put on a simple white t-shirt with khaki shorts and my red hi-top shoes. I gathered a bunch of Ally's favorite foods and snacks in a picnic basket and a little stereo for music. I also got a blanket and a beach ball. I just wanted to have an endless day of fun. I went and sat on the top of the hill and waited for Ally. I saw her at the bottom of the hill about to come up. I suddenly was more nervous than any other date I've ever been on. My heart skipped a beat. I tried to keep myself calm as she started walking up the hill.

Review please! P.S. it's about to get really sweet and sappy in the next chapter!
