HOLY SHITBALLS. EIGHTY EIGHT reviews on chapter one?! I guess you guys weren't kidding when you said you wanted a sequel! I can't tell you how much it means to me that you all reviewed so much, because I am simply speechless. ;)
For those of you who are worried about the age difference, do not fret, there is a reason for it. Not everything can be that easy, but I'll try and make it all worth it later, I promise. Also, for those who were asking, this will be a multi-chap, and it is technically already complete, I just have to go in and add my own special touch, so I should have pretty regular updates.
Always remember, I love you all. *kisses*
CHAPTER TWO
Ally walked home by herself after school.
She was still in shock that her secret lover had showed up in town and that, of all things, he was her father's new intern. He was going to be living in the loft space above the store… literally going to be there – every – single – day. It was majorly freaky. She supposed it was true what those creepy little dolls sang on the ride at Disneyland, it really was a small world after all.
Ally had skipped going to the store after school like normal to avoid the inevitable conversation with Austin as she now knew his real name to be. She knew that he'd corner her sooner or later, after all she had just as much explaining to do as he did, if not more. She both dreaded and ached to talk to him again. She had lied her ass off that night in New York, and now he knew the truth. Would he be angry? Would he yell at her?
Just as Ally was walking up her driveway, a car pulled up, parking directly in front of the house; an old, mint-condition, black Camaro.
Her breath caught in her throat when Austin got out and looked at her over the roof of the car for a moment, then he moved around to stand near the trunk, allowing her to see all of him. He looked gorgeous. The sun shone down on his blond hair, making it look even whiter. In addition to his black t-shirt and jeans, he was wearing an open-front worn out denim jacket. It looked so good on him. He was smoking a cigarette. On him, anything could look good.
"Hi," Austin breathed out, sounding utterly exasperated, thrusting his hands into the pockets of his coat and staring at her.
"H-Hi. Did... you follow me?" Ally asked in a squeaky voice.
"No. I waited for you to come by the store after your classes let out," he said with a hint of defensiveness in his tone. "Your dad said that's what you normally do. When you didn't show I snuck a peek at his mail in the office to get your address."
Ally nodded numbly and looked down at her trembling hands. "Oh."
"I figure we… we needed a chance to talk without an audience." His chocolate eyes bore into hers.
Ally's heart fluttered at the worried expression he wore on his face, at the small wrinkles on his forehead as he raised his eyebrows at her, and at the crooked way his jaw moved when his teeth connected at the end of his sentence. She wasn't sure, however, if her heart was fluttering from butterflies or from utter fear. She panicked. "I-I don't want to talk," she said as she walked quickly to her front door, fumbling with her house keys.
Austin furrowed his brows and moved quickly to stand beside her on the porch. "Damn it, Rox- Sorry, it's not Roxie, it's Ally, isn't it? Forgive me. After thinking of you as Roxie all month, it's a little hard to get used to using your real name," he said with a note of sarcasm.
Ally tried putting the key in the lock, but kept missing. Her hands were shaking too much, and she couldn't help the slight snort as she whirled around to face him again. "Me? How about you, Austin. I'm not even sure which one is your real name. Were you fooling me? Or are you fooling my dad?" Ally finished with a reverence and whirled back around to face the door again, trying to line the key up with the hole above the handle.
Austin saw how terrified she was and instantly regretted his attitude, even if she did deserve to be reprimanded for her thoughtless actions. He reached out and took her hands in his, gently turning her to face him again. She looked up into his eyes, her entire body trembling.
"My real name is Austin. Austin Moon," he said to her with feeing, and her face relaxed slightly. "We need to clear the air. I have things I need to say to you," he said in what he hoped was a soothing tone.
Ally nodded imperceptibly. She'd agree to anything when he was touching her and gazing into her eyes.
"O-Okay. Just... don't yell at me." Her chin quivered, feeling much like the young teenage girl she was.
Austin's heart melted. He wanted to gather her up in his arms and... He took a shaky breath and smiled. 'Be strong... be strong... be strong...' he repeated to himself. "I won't yell. Promise."
Ally smiled weakly then unlocked the front door, leading Austin into the living room, and sat on the couch stiffly. She wasn't looking forward to this discussion.
Austin sat down on the other side of the couch and turned to look at her.
Ally looked down at the floor, afraid to make more eye contact. "What happened to the fancy Challenger that woman gave you?"
Austin took a deep breath to calm his nerves. "Sold it. It'd be hard to convince anyone that I got the money for it by getting a few songs sold. You... won't tell anyone what I did for a living... will you?" Austin asked anxiously. "Your dad... I doubt he'd be... impressed, to say the least..."
"No. Of course not... Your secret's safe with me. I won't tell anyone." Ally scratched at the fabric of the couch.
They were silent for a few moments.
"You're still in high school. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you pretend -"
"I'm almost 18. So don't freak out." Ally fidgeted.
Austin blew out a breath. She wasn't as young as he had feared, but... she was still too young for him.
"Well, that's a relief. But why did you pretend to be Roxie Rocket? What were you thinking? And inviting a man you didn't know into your hotel room..."
"I... wasn't thinking. I mean, there I was, all alone in the city, getting loopy and horn—" she paused and looked up at is arched brow, blushing. "Um, lonely. And suddenly there you were, standing outside my door looking so good... so hot... I lost it. I'm... sorry." Ally hung her head.
Austin sighed. "They fired me, you know. The real Roxie was pissed that I never showed up."
Ally's head shot up. "They... fired you? Oh God, I'm so sorry! I didn't think you'd get in trouble... I know it was stupid to pretend... They didn't say they fired you, they said you left..."
"Who told you I left?" Austin furrowed his brow.
Ally looked away again, her face turning red.
"Ally," he said in a soft voice. "Did you call the service looking for me?" His heart pounded painfully at the thought of her trying to contact him again. She'd been unable to forget him, too?
"Kind of... I just... I don't know... wanted to hear your voice..." She played with the hem of her striped mini-skirt then looked at him, her eyes shiny. "I wanted to know... how you were."
"I felt... the same way," Austin said, unconsciously moving closer to her. "I called the hotel and asked if there was a number where the woman who had stayed in Suite 213 could be reached. Needless to say, they wouldn't give me the information..."
"Really?" Ally's heart thudded. He'd tried to find her too! That night did mean as much to him as it did to her! She did a mental 'Ally' dance. She moved closer to him, and their thighs touched. Their breathing hitched up a notch.
Austin nodded. His eyes going from hers to her slightly parted lips. He wanted to kiss her so bad. He knew that he shouldn't. She was too young... she was a daughter and employee of his new boss'... it was wrong... but... He leaned over, slowly closing the distance between them and brushing his lips over hers. He was powerless against the force of his attraction to her.
They moaned and melted into the kiss, their arms coming up to wrap around the other. Their long month of frustration and longing was at last coming to an end.
"Mmph, Austin…" Ally mumbled against his lips, tilting her head to deepen the kiss.
After a minute, they broke away, panting, their eyes closed. They slowly opened their eyes, now glazed over with lust.
"Forgive me?" Ally breathed. "For lying and getting you fired, I mean."
Austin could feel the blood in his body rushing south. "It's alright. I know you didn't mean any harm." Austin looked back to her kiss-swollen lips, eager to dive back in for more.
"Austin, I missed you so much," Ally sighed dreamily.
They searched each other's eyes for a moment before lunging at each other, fusing their mouths together, kissing desperately and hungrily.
"Oh! Yes! Missed you! Want you!" Ally gasped when Austin tore his mouth from hers and attacked her neck, biting and sucking.
"Ally! God, I've been going crazy thinking about you!" Austin gasped against her neck.
"I... wasn't just another... client, then?" she asked breathlessly.
Austin pulled back to look in her eyes. She could see the same desperation and longing in his eyes that she was feeling. "No. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop thinking about you, dreaming about you. I -"
Ally cut him off by smashing her mouth against his. She pushed him down on the couch and climbed on top of him, her body singing at once again being draped over his. His hardening cock poked up at her.
They kissed as their happy hands flew over the other's body. Ally pulled his shirt out from where it was tucked into his jeans and ran her hand underneath to touch the bare skin of his abdomen and chest. They were both shivering from the lust running rampant through their helpless bodies. Austin moved his hands down her back to cup her ass, kneading it roughly.
Ally gasped and sat up to straddle him, hiking her skirt up around her waist. Then she dropped back down to continue their kiss, grinding her center against his hard-on.
"Uhh! Austin!" Ally groaned, nibbling at his lips while unbuttoning his jeans. "Want you!"
She stuck her hands down the front of his pants to feel that big, beautiful cock of his.
"Fuck! Yes! Ally!" Austin gasped as she gripped his hard dick and slid her hand up and down its length. His eyes rolled back from the mind-numbing pleasure her touch brought him.
"Need you! Oh God, I need you!" Ally panted, bringing his cock out with one hand while the other moved her soaked panties aside.
Just as she was slipping his bulbous head between her dewy folds, the sound of a car door being shut in the driveway was heard.
It took a moment for Ally's brain to process the meaning of the sound.
Her eyes bugged out. "Oh my God! My father!"
She leapt off of him. They both hurriedly fixed their clothing and smoothed their disheveled hair.
It hit home again to Austin that this was wrong. He shouldn't have to be worried about the woman's father coming home to find them coiled around each other. Ally was just too young for him. Maybe when she was off on her own, in college, things... would be different… It hurt like hell; he wanted to be with her so badly, but he had to be strong.
Lester Dawson entered through the front door and walked to the living room. He looked at Austin and Ally sitting innocently on the couch. They stood up as he entered.
"Hi, sweetie. I was just about to ask you who the car parked in front of the house belonged to..." Lester smiled.
"Uh, hi, Dad. You got out of work early," she said with a wave of dread washing down the back of her neck. "You obviously already know Austin..."
"There wasn't much going on at the store so I closed up early. And yes, actually, Austin I was wondering where you'd disappeared to. I was going to ask you to close up for me…"
Austin smiled a sheepish smile. This was already starting to hurt his chances. If Ally's dad even suspected that he was going after his daughter he'd kick him out of the loft space and he'd be forced to go crawling back to his parents, without a single recorded song to show for it. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Dawson. You see, I… I..
"I didn't feel well and decided to just come home after school. Austin saw me walking and offered me a ride," Ally interjected when she could see Austin was without an excuse.
Lester's expression softened then. "Thank you, Austin. That was very generous of you," he said shifting his eyes back and forth between the two. "Would, uh, would you like something to drink?" he asked, just trying to be polite.
"Uh, no thank you. I have to get going, actually." Austin looked at his watch.
"Well, thanks again for bringing my Ally home. I'm heading upstairs to make a few calls. Got some possible conventions coming up that I'll be travelling to. Ally, sweetie, just shout of you need me. Austin, see you tomorrow in the store?"
"Yes sir," Austin nodded with a smile.
"Thanks dad." Ally smiled.
Lester gave them each one last glance as he retreated upstairs.
Once they heard the bedroom door shut, they turned back toward each other. They looked down awkwardly. Ally picked at an imaginary piece of lint on her shirt.
"Ally... what just happened - what almost just happened - we have to control ourselves. I didn't come here intending to... I just wanted to talk."
She looked up. "You didn't want to... I thought you wanted me." Her lip trembled.
"I did. I do."
He walked up to her, and cupped her face in his hands. She leaned into his touch, a contented smile gracing her lips.
"You're just so young," Austin said with a melancholy expression.
Ally straightened back up, worry lines on her forehead. "Why do you say it like that? I'm old enough, it's not like I'm going to tell what we did. You won't get in trouble."
"Maybe not with the law. But I don't think your dad would be pleased that a 23-year-old man was sniffing around his almost 18-year-old daughter."
"You don't want to be with me, do you?" Ally started to panic, tears popping up in her eyes. 'This can't be happening! I can't have found him again only to have him reject me! Oh God… Why do I have to be in love with him?!'
She didn't like the sound of what he was saying. There was no way she wanted to be apart from him any longer, not when fate had brought them back together. There was still an intense heat between them. Couldn't he feel it, too? Ally felt like she was going to hyperventilate.
"Ally, I meant what I said before. I... really have been thinking about you, wanting you... but it just couldn't work out between us. Besides your age there's also the fact that I'm leaving for L.A. to start a new singing career in a month or so... It wouldn't be right to start up something -"
"What? What about what happened before my dad came home? Why were you all over me?" Ally asked, becoming more distressed by the minute. He just couldn't mean what he was saying…
"That was... it was weakness on my part. I should have tried to control myself..." It was ripping his heart out to say these things to her when all he wanted to do was wrap himself around her petite frame and stay there forever.
"What? You like older women, is that it?" Ally's voice was becoming more shrill.
"Just calm down. Lower your voice!" Austin whispered.
"Do you think I'm too immature? Is that what you think? 'Cause I'm not! I think I proved back in New York how mature I can be…"
"Dammit, Ally! Why are you making this so hard? Will you stop it? Stop being such a spoiled brat! Your dad is going to hear you!" Austin looked up the stairs nervously. He really didn't intend to snap at her and call her a brat, but the tension and stress of the moment had gotten to him.
Ally was angry and didn't stop to think before she bit back at him, her emotions got the better of her and took over her mouth. "Spoiled brat?! Well, at least I'm not a who-" Ally's eyes opened wide in shock at what she'd almost said. She clapped a hand over her mouth.
Austin's head snapped back around to look at her, his eyes widened slightly before his face crumbled. So, that's what she really thought of him...
"No... No you're not. I'm the only whore around here," Austin said sadly. He clenched and unclenched his jaw then turned and went out the front door half way down the walk way.
Ally raced after him, catching him by the arm and turning him back around to face her. The hurt look on his face shattered her heart.
"Austin! Austin, I didn't mean that! I don't know what made me say that! I'm sorry!"
"Don't apologize. It's the truth. I am a whore... and that's all I'll ever be to you," he said with an edge to his voice, his eyes dark.
"No! That's not true, I don't think that! I was just upset that you said you didn't want to be with me, and I didn't know what I was saying."
"Just let me go." Austin pulled his arm out of her grasp.
"Austin, please..." Ally cried.
With a withering look he turned and walked to his car. Ally hugged herself, tears ran down her face as she watched him get in his car and drive away.
