Because I Love You, and You Love Me

Chapter 2

Giving Thanks

Background: Go with the flow. Older, 19 years old.

a/n: Also, for those of you who don't like live in America, I'm not sure if you all know about Thanksgiving, but it's a holiday, and you can google it (or whatever search engine thing you want).


Ally's POV

"It could be fun," he said kissing me lightly on the lips. "It should be fun, Ally."

"How is going to your crazy, huge family reunion for Thanksgiving dinner fun?" I rolled my eyes at him, going back to my work.

"Because," he said, sitting down next to me on the bench, "you get to meet all of my family. Not just my parents."

"Yeah," I said, erasing the last few lines, "all of your family. All three-hundred-million-fucking-thousand of them."

It was his turn to roll his eyes at me.

"Ally. I do not have that many relatives," he told me, grabbing my arm so I would stop focusing on the paper in front of me, and instead, looking at him.

And I did, look at him I mean, for a moment. And I watched, as his face twisted up into his perfectly-adorable confused face that he got whenever he was just realizing something was off.

"Wait. That's not even a real number."

The way he said, with so much concern and energy, like he was a small kid who just witnessed an adult make a mistake and didn't think that grownups could ever be wrong, it brought a smile onto my face.

I couldn't help.

It was like being around him, you had to be smiling.

He wouldn't let it be any other way.

And everything he did made you want to do it anyway.

There was just something about him.

"Ally," he said, kissing my neck lightly.

I let my eyes flutter close, turning more towards him.

My head was foggy, ideas for my song fluttered away from my mind as he peppered kisses up my neck, heading towards my lips.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I heard a bell ringing, and it pushed me back into reality, slowly, but surely.

And after a few seconds, I was letting my eyes blink open.

"Dad! Hey."

I pushed Austin off of me, and moved away, back to the middle of the bench.

"I was, uh, writing a song, um, and Austin was helping. Or well, more distracting me, I guess, but, uh –"

"Ally," my dad said, shaking his head and heading off into the back room.

I pushed Austin again when he tried to move back closer to me.

"Austin. We literally just got caught making out by my dad. Do you want that to happen again? Because he will chop of your balls."

He smirked at me, hiding a sly smile, "Come on. It will be a new record. Two times in less than an hour?"

I smacked his chest with my book, getting up from the bench and stopping my song writing process.

It was not going to happen with this idiotic blond reside me, who was in one of his lets-do-anything-and-everything-that-has-some-adrenaline-to-it moods.

"You're a piece of work, Moon." I told him, heading upstairs to grab my bag and leave this place before my dad came out of the room downstairs with Austin still in his store.


"Why did I agree to do this again?" I asked Austin as I grabbed my bag from his popped trunk.

"Because," he said, coming around to join my behind his car, "you want to meet all of my family."

"No," I told him.

"Because you wanted to spend time with me."

"Nope."

"Because you love me."

"No way in –"

"Because," he said loudly, cutting me off and glancing at his smiling relatives that stood chatting loudly on the front porch up the driveway from us, "you wanted to get away from your dad who is still acting off after catching us making out on a piano bench in his store."

"Right." I agreed, closing the trunk, "That's why I decided to come."

I looked at him, and he rolled his eyes, turning to head off towards the house, but I stopped him before he could leave.

I raised up onto my tiptoes, even in my heels, and pressed a kiss to his lip, simple and closed mouth, just lips against lips for a few lingering seconds. I leaned up to his ear, letting my lips brush his ear as I whispered, "and since you made the worlds suckiest impression on my father, I'm going to give the worlds best impression on your family" and then I turned and walked away, knowing that he was standing behind me, watching my hips swing as I went.

"Hi, I'm Ally Dawson, it's so nice to meet you!"


"I rocked that," I told him, pulling out my pajamas from my overnight bag.

Austin just continued staring at me, a dead, unimpressed look on his face, before he reached into his own bag for something to sleep in.

"Whatever."

I smiled at him, looking at the clock on the table beside me.

"Hey, guess what?"

The conversation turned light and more carefree; more like what a regular boyfriend, girlfriend relationship sounded like, rather than our back and forth teasing, challenge thing we've been doing lately.

"What?" he asked, pulling up the hem of his sweatpants until they hang low on his hips, exposing the band of his boxers.

I watched him, as he grabbed his shirt, dragging it up and over his head, exposing that gorgeous chest of his.

I walked over to him, standing in front of Austin and leaning up onto my toes and wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Happy Thanksgiving," I said pressing my lips to Austin's, "and you, you are what I'm thankful for."

He smiled at me, leaning down to kiss me again. "Happy Thanksgiving, Baby."


a/n: Hey guys! Thanks for reading. I hope all of you that celebrated today, had a great day :) I did

Here's my special Thanksgiving Treat but I also have something really special planned for Christmas, so stay TUNED! I'm so excited for it! I hope you guys are too! And I hope you like it as much as I do. :)

Also, next on my agenda is a story in all Austins POV called Sing 1, 2, 3. It's basically a singing competition that your two favorite people are taking part in. It's kind of a spin off on something I read on Wattpad and gave me inspiration.

Alright, see you guys at Christmas! I don't think I'll have the time to write another before then, but hopefully not too long after and before the new story! More on that later. :D Bye for now.

-Love you guys, Katie
