A/N: Thank you so so much for everyone who reviewed:) It honestly brings me so much joy to hear what you think of each chapter. This one is kinda long, I think you will enjoy it:) I'm gonna shut up so you can read!
I titled this chapter: Late night phone calls
AUSTIN'S POV:
Beep Beep Beep Beep
I slap my hand lifelessly down on my alarm clock. I swear I got no sleep last night. I blame Ally.
Wearing that little dress….making out with me… it was more than my teenage hormones could handle.
I sigh and reluctantly roll out of bed. I walk into the bathroom and splash cold water on my face; running my fingers through my bed head to comb it.
I walk back into my room throwing on my dark wash denim jeans and a red V-Neck.
Looking in the mirror one more time, I am satisfied. I sigh, grabbing my keys and walking out the door of my apartment.
It still felt weird to me; having my own apartment. I'm probably the only high school student to be living on their own. I guess that's what happens when your parents don't give a crap about you.
They never cared very much and they never will. I was a mistake. I was never meant to happen so why would they treat me like I was?
They went ahead and took care of me till age 16, when they could legally emancipate me. After that got done they bought me an apartment and a car. They pay for it still, but that's only to ensure that they will never have to see me again. They can continue to be pot head burn outs without the burden of a kid.
So now I live alone. It's not that bad. I always hear people complaining about how their mom is on them about grades or their dad wants them to be just like their brother. Me, I'm a loner; no one to live up to and no one to live for.
I didn't mind. I didn't; at least that's what I told myself.
ALLY'S POV:
I groan as my alarm goes off. I didn't sleep very well last night. Thoughts of that night kept running ramped through my head.
I seriously loved the way Austin touched me. It turned me on in ways that I can't even begin to describe.
I sigh and roll myself out of my bed. I go into my bathroom and get my brush, running the teeth through my wavy brown hair.
After applying my makeup, I walk back out into my bedroom and sift through my drawers; ultimately deciding on black skinny jeans and a burgundy halter top. After strapping on my stilettos I head downstairs.
"Bye Dad" I say to the hung over man currently passed out on our couch. I didn't get an answer; though I never do. I grab an apple before leaving then pick up my binder and walk out the front door.
I tap my pencil on the desk. Could this lady get any more boring? I sigh and doodle on my paper. I draw a tree, adding some flowers around it and a sun. I stare at it for a moment then scribble it out. The sound of the teacher's voice was vague in the background.
You know what really pissed me off? When teachers were all enthusiastic about the subject, even if it's the most boring as hell thing on the planet.
Okay we get it lady…semi colons are very important…
"Psst" I hear a voice utter from behind me. I turn around to find Chad staring at me with flirtatious eyes. Instantly I regret turning around.
"Hey good lookin…" he says smugly, his eyes falling lower than my face.
"Hey not happening" I say smartly, turning back around. I hear him snicker.
"Playing hard to get I see…that's ok….two can play at this game" I flash him a disgusted look. Chad was one of the biggest Douche bags on the planet; or at least at this school. He won't ever take no for an answer and he's over all just a heartless player.
I bolt out the door as soon as the bell rings; knowing if I stayed any longer he would follow me.
_
I stand by the lockers waiting for Austin. I tap my fingers on my leg, keeping myself entertained. All of a sudden I feel a presence standing behind me.
"We meet again" An annoying voice whispers in my ear. An attempt to be sexy I assume.
"What do you want Chad" I ask annoyed, crossing my arms and turning to face him.
"I think you know what I want" he says seductively. I back away a bit, but he grabs my thigh, pulling me back to him.
"Get the fuck off me-"I try, but am interrupted by a loud voice coming through the halls.
"Hey!" He jumps, looking to the source of the noise.
"Get your filthy hands off my girlfriend!" Austin screams at him. He let's go of my leg, approaching a fuming Austin. I was a bit shocked to say the least but also grateful.
Chad laughs.
"Your girlfriend? Come on," he tests. Austin just rolls his eyes.
"Just don't touch her alright" he says sternly. Chad folds his arms, snickering as he does so.
"Oh yah and if I do what's gonna happen" Without warning Austin brings up his fist and slugs the side of his face.
I hear multiple swear words escape his mouth as he holds his cheek in pain.
"What the hell was that?!" he shrieks.
"You asked what would happen" Austin says glaring at him, a dangerous look in his eyes as he walks over to me. My eyes are wide but I collect myself as he approaches me.
"You owe me one" he says, in my ear. I scoff.
"Please I could have handled that myself" I say. He laughs a bit.
"I'm sure you could have my little tough girl…" He says as the bell rings. I start to walk off, but am stopped by his hand wrapping around my wrist and pulling me back.
"What" I say. He just leans forward and kisses my cheek. I give him a look.
"What? Goodness Ally you are difficult" He says.
"Oh and you're easy?" I say with folded arms. He purses his lips.
"Point taken…" I chuckle a bit.
"Bye" I say; and with that we part ways.
AUSTIN'S POV:
I've always hated Chad. He was a total jerk and he was known for banging ever girl he could. He treated them like toys that he could just throw away when he got tired of playing with them.
When I saw him touching Ally, needless to say I was pissed. I mean you shouldn't treat any girl like that, but Ally has always been different for me. I don't know ever since the 8th grade we were friends…ish… we had an interesting relationship. She wasn't like anyone I had ever known.
She certainly wasn't clingy or overly perky. In fact she wasn't perky at all. She was like me; a loner. All she needed was herself.
I knew she didn't necessarily need me to help her out with Dallas. Heck she would have slapped him silly if I had given her the chance, but…I felt like punching him.
I close my locker and sigh. End of the day. I always liked that.
"Hey Austin" I hear Dez say as he walks over to me.
"What's up" I say with a nod of the head.
"Um you an Ally… Dude I thought you never wanted a girlfriend" I roll my eyes and start walking.
"I don't…it's just a game" He furrows his brow and I explain.
"Apparently that girl she hangs out with every once in a while, wouldn't stop bugging her about dating someone so she asked if I wanted to play a game where we basically act as a couple even though we aren't a real one, and whoever ends up falling in love with the other loses" I say with a shrug. He walks along beside me, a smirk growing on his face.
"What" I ask him.
"You know what's gonna happen right" he says. I raise an eye brow and he laughs.
"Austin you're going to fall for her" I scoff.
"Yeah. Right…have you met me?" I say sarcastically. He rolls his eyes.
"Yes actually we've been friends for like ever and I happen to know you very…very well" He says, nudging me. I laugh a little.
"Ha. Ha" I dead pan.
"Alright well, I better get going" he says giving my shoulder a solid pat.
"Alright see ya" I say. He walks away.
"Drive safely Romeo" he calls back to me, mockery in his voice. I chuckle. He's lucky I don't have anything against him.
I lay motionlessly on my couch, flipping through the channels on my TV. It was that unfortunate hour where nothing but the news was on.
I sigh, turning off my TV. I look at the clock. It was 12am. I should probably go to bed anyway.
I get up and walk into my bedroom; stripping down into only my boxers. I climb into bed, placing my phone on the bedside table.
I roll over on my back, getting situated under the covers and closing my eyes.
I jump as my phone starts buzzing loudly and profusely. Who the hell is calling me at this hour? I reach over and answer it.
"Hello" I say groggily.
"Hey" Ally says, sounding full of energy.
"Ally? What the hell. It's like midnight and I want to sleep, how did you even get my number anyway?" I say all in one breath, eyes half open. Unfazed, she answers.
"You gave it to me" she states. "So how's my boyfriend?"
"Tired" I deadpan.
"Why are you so tired old man" she asks playfully, but still with her Ally-like tone.
Let's play fight.
"Because somebody I know has this way of turning me on to points where I can't even sleep. Then calling me once I finally do try to get some shut eye" It is silent on the other end.
"Stop smirking" I tell her emotionlessly, knowing she is doing so. She laughs.
"Hey if we're doing this I should get to have some fun with it"
"It was your idea." I point out. She falls silent.
"Anyway…" she trails off. I roll my eyes, chuckling slightly as she changes the subject. "What's your favorite color?"
"Um yellow why?" I say.
"I just wanna get to know you a little better" she says.
"Favorite ice cream flavor?" I laugh a bit.
"Ally, why on earth are you calling me at midnight" I ask, slightly annoyed with the girl.
"Answer the question" she says.
"Chocolate. Now answer mine"
"It was in the rules" she says. I am silent, not having a clue what she is talking about.
"Let's talk all night" she says in a 'duh' tone.
"Oh" I say. "You know technically its morning now"
"Don't be a smart ass Austin its dark out and I consider that night" I roll my eyes.
"Don't you dare roll your eyes" how does she do that?
"So what are you doing" I ask her, trying to move the conversation along.
"Just lying in bed" she answers. "My dad's out at the bar again…I swear he lives there" I laugh a little not quite sure how to respond. I could hear the resentment in her voice; but I knew I wasn't breaking down those walls anytime soon.
"Cool" is all I say.
"Mhm, so what about you?"
"Just laying in bed talking to you"
"No really?" she says sarcastically.
I chuckle and the line goes quiet again.
"What are you wearing" she asks me catching me off guard.
"Um…boxers…you?"
"You sleep in your boxers?" She asks me, ignoring my question.
"Yah…why? Is that turning you on" I say with a smirk.
"No…" she says rather unconvincingly.
"Mhm right…you are so turned on right now" I snicker. "Payback!"
"Why would I be turned on that you're in your boxers?" She says. I shrug.
"I don't know…but I can hear it in your voice" I sit up, now enjoying this conversation. There is a brief pause.
"Whatever" she says. I chuckle a little.
"So since you never actually answered; what are you wearing Dawson?" I ask her. She pauses for a moment.
"Bra and underwear" she says devilishly.
"Crap" I mutter under my breath. She laughs.
"Payback" she mocks.
"Yah yah" I say as visions of Ally's petite hourglass figure in nothing but a lingerie run ramped in my head.
There is a long silence, leaving me far too much time to fantasize.
"I kinda wanna make out with you right now" I say lowly.
"Don't tell me you're losing Moon" she warns.
"Nah…you just turn me on" I say. She chuckles.
"I do have that effect" She jokes. I laugh.
"Yes you do" Again we fall quiet.
"Well I'm getting kind of tired" she says.
"Finally" I say. She giggles.
"Night Moon"
"Night" I say; and with that she ends the call. I sigh and turn off my phone, placing it back on the side table.
I lay back in my soft brown sheets. As anticipated, as soon as I close my eyes, I find myself lost in a world of a skimpily dressed Ally.
Man this girl does weird things to me.
