A/N: Happy Saturday! Yay! I've been looking forward to Saturday since Monday. Lol. Anyways, here's Chapter 4! I messed up a bit in earlier chapters, but today (the story's today) is Monday. It doesn't really matter since it's summer, but…yeah. I'm weird like that. Oh, and sorry I didn't update yesterday! Some stuff came up… anyways, thanks for reviews and here's the chapter!
(Ally's POV)
I woke up the next morning at about 7:00 a.m. I really don't like getting up early, but I did. I couldn't help but text Austin. I'm super excited since he said he was going to show me around. Luckily, I didn't have to work today. This girl my dad hired named Jenny would cover for me.
(Text Conversation) Austin= still Italic Ally= still Bold
Good morning, sleepyhead! (I assumed he would still be asleep)
Sleepyhead? I woke up an hour ago… lol
Oh, well… I feel stupid. Anyways, still up for today?
You're not stupid. Yes, of course! I keep my promises
Good. So, when and where should I meet you?
Meet me in an hour by the mall entrance. There are also two people I want you to meet. They're really good friends.
(When I saw 'two people I want you to meet' I thought it was his parents, but then I read 'really good friends') Ok, sounds good! See you there!
See you there!
(Text Conversation Over)
I was ecstatic! I wonder who his friends are. It would be nice to have a group of friends to help me and hang out with me in Miami. After spending an eternity thinking about later, I finally got out of bed, took a shower, and got dressed in a floral pattern skirt with a tank top and vest. My normal clothes. I had thirty minutes til I would go see Austin. I told my dad about Austin and he's already taken a liking to him even though he hasn't even met him. Weird, right? I think so. Anyways, he approved. I told him, Amanda, and Alex goodbye and I went out the door. I decided to start heading toward the mall. While walking over there, I took my sweet time and walked slowly, taking time to admire every detail about the world.
When I finally arrived at the entrance, I saw Austin and he looked up at me, grinned, and waved. I waved back and continued to walk toward him.
"Hey, Alls! Ready?" he said with a wide smile.
"Hey, Austin! Yup, I'm ready to go" I said, returning his perky smile.
"Okay, let's go!" he said, putting his hand behind my back. I began to blush furiously, but I hid it by pretending to look the other way or by looking down. I don't think he noticed that he had his arm around me though… I didn't complain though ;)
We began walking around the mall and he showed me some stores. The surf shop where there was this guy named Billl who said "Welcome to Miami, Allly" 0_0 He held out the 'l' sound a lot. He also showed me Suzy's Soups. It was a soup shop, obviously, but there was this really nice lady named Ms. Suzy who kept saying I looked like one of her 3rd grade students. I thought that was interesting because she was a music teacher and I LOVE music. The other places were Megaphone World, Meatballas' Restaurant, the Yoyo Cart, the Cellphone Accessory Cart (I ignored that guy who worked there by hiding my face.), Cupcake City, the Magic Store, the Pet Store, the Mug Store, the Dry Cleaners, the Make-up Kiosk, the Lost & Found, Cheese Out Of My League, Cheese Just Okay, T-Shirt World, Pirate Frank's Fish Fry, It's A Racket , Yarn Barn, the Pitchfork And Torch Store (weird store name), the Coffee Shop, and Pick A Card. There were so many stores. There was more that he didn't bother to show me because he said that there was too many to show.
We finally stopped at the food court and he took removed his arm from around me. I guess he realized what he was doing because he blushed a bit. Anyways, Austin led me to a table with a tall red-headed boy and a short, dark-haired girl.
"Okay that ends our tour! This is Dez," he said gesturing towards the red-head," and this is Trish" he said pointing at the dark-haired girl.
"Hey!" Trish and Dez said in unison, holding their hands out.
"Hi, I'm Ally. I'm new to Miami" I said, shaking both of their hands.
"Well, nice to finally meet the girl Austin doesn't shut up about." she said with a smile. I began to blush. He talks about me? Aww, how sweet.
"He talks about me?" I asked. I was still a bit surprised and flattered.
"Yup! He's always saying how beautiful and talented you are and how he would love for you to-" Dez had butted in but Austin cut him off.
"Dez!" Austin said to Dez while covering Dez's mouth with his hand.
"Aww. Thanks." I said with a huge smile. He thinks I'm beautiful and talented! Oh my gosh!
Austin began rubbing the back of his neck… AGAIN. He was nervous because of what Dez said. I wonder what that last part was… 'he would love for you to-'.
"So… Ally, how'd you like the mall?" Austin finally broke the awkwardness. He was trying to change the subject. I let him.
"It's amazing. There are so many stores! I'll never get bored!" I replied
"Don't be so sure. I've worked at almost all of these stores. They can be so boring." Trish said. Wow, she must work A LOT.
"Yeah, Trish gets fired a lot. She thinks that she should be paid for not working" Austin said. Dez continued being quiet. He was sitting down holding a gingerbread man and looking at it sadly. This boy was strange.
"Yup! It should be like that! Work is so boring." Trish said.
"Well, I already work at Sonic Boom and I like it. Anyways, is anyone else hungry?" I was hungry. I skipped breakfast in the morning even though Amanda had offered me some right before I left.
"I am!" Austin, Trish, and Dez said in unison.
"Great! So, where should we go?" I asked. I didn't know where any restaurants were besides the one here at the mall.
"Uh, how about…Bob's Burgers in town." he said, looking at Dez and Trish. They nodded and then we began walking to the parking lot.
"You have a car?" I asked.
"Yup, I don't use it that much though because I like taking the scenic routes." he said with a smile.
"Oh" I said plainly.
His car was a 4-door BMW. It was pretty cool. I don't know what make it is though. I'm not good with cars… That's a man's department. Anyways, when we walked up to his car he opened the door and let Trish and Dez in the back. Then, he let me in the front. He closed the door for me (Aww, what a gentleman) and hopped in the driver's seat. Then, we drove off into town.
It was pretty quiet on the way there. Just some random questions, especially from Dez. I kept looking out the window, admiring random things and observing the town. We had driven into a part of town I had never been to since we first moved here to Miami.
We finally got to the diner, Bob's Burgers, and we went up to the counter.
"How many?" the lady from behind the counter asked.
"Uh, three." Austin said.
" Four. You forgot to count yourself." I said and started laughing a little.
"Oh, yeah. Four." he told the lady.
"Okay, right this way. We already have a table." the lady said. Then, she lead us to a table. It was a booth. I hate tables with chairs. (1) Anyways, when we got to the table, Austin stood in front of the table and gestured for me to sit down. Then, he sat down next to me, keeping a respectable distance away from me. Trish and Dez sat on the other side of the booth.
Then, a man came up to us.
"Hello, I'm Jake and I'll be your server today. What can I get y'all to drink? he said. He kept looking at me and I noticed Austin gave him an evil glare. Was he…jealous? No, it can't be. I must be imagining things.
Austin started by saying, "I'll have a Strawberry Lemonade." Wow, that's my favorite drink. (2)
"And you ma'am?" he said, pointing his pen at me.
"Uh, I'll have a Strawberry Lemonade as well." I said.
"Okay, and you two?" he said, pointing at Trish and Dez.
"I'll have a Sprite" Trish said.
"And I'll have an ICEE" Dez said. No wonder he's always hyper. (3)
Jake walked away to go get our drinks and Trish finally spoke up.
"Gosh, Austin! You looked like you were gonna stab the poor guy!" she yelled in a low tone.
"Pshh, no. I would never do that. It's just that-" he was cut off by Trish.
"You were jealous?" Trish interrupted.
"Pshh,of course not! He just shouldn't try and flirt. We're here to eat." he said. Again, he was rubbing his neck. I began to blush. I think he is jealous ;)
"Well, thanks for looking out for me." I said. He began to smile and then Jake came back with our drinks. The rest of dinner was pretty fun. We started talking about some of Trish's jobs and Austin's and I's partnership. Jake came with our orders of burgers, of course. We all got cheeseburgers and we all dug right in. We were all sloppy eaters, so I wasn't embarrassed. Although, halfway through dinner, I wiped a piece of mayonnaise off of Austin's cheek. He smiled at me and I smiled back. He was so adorable!
We finally finished dinner and during dinner I didn't pay attention to Jake, so Austin didn't give him that death glare. Anyways, dinner was over and we were all ready to go home. So, we walked out, got in the car (he did the same thing where he opened the door for me), and started driving home. First, we dropped of Dez. His house is a bright yellow color. It definitely stood out. Then, we dropped Trish off and I gave her a hug when she left. We had gotten to know each other during dinner. It was nice having another girl around. Her house is a normal white house. Finally, it was my turn.
When we got to my house, he opened my door and let me out.
"Thanks, Austin. You're such a gentleman." I said with a wide smile. He smiled back. I was loving him even more!
"You're welcome and thanks. I try." he said.
Something had been bothering me all day and I finally decided to bring it up by saying, "So, about earlier. What was Dez saying? How you would love for me to what?"
"Oh, um. Nothing. I-it's nothing" he began to stutter.
"You're not getting off that easily. Tell me. Please?" I asked, giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Uh, your puppy dog eyes snapped me. You sure you want to know? It might ruin our friendship…"
"Try me." I said. Now I was really anxious.
"Okay, well Dez was saying that I'd love for you to be my…girlfriend. I told him that…" Austin said. I was completely taken aback. He likes me?
"Well, why were you so nervous to tell me?" I asked
"I was afraid I'd be rejected. Remember that song I sang? Well, my girlfriend did cheat on me. With this guy named Dallas. The one at the cellphone accessory cart." So that was his name! Dallas! I can't believe I liked him! I'm sure he knew he was helping a girl cheat. I feel terrible for Austin.
"Well, you're used to be girlfriend was stupid for not realizing that you are the better person. You're an amazing guy. You're funny, kind, and…handsome." I was smiling and his face lit up.
"You really think so?" he asked hopefully.
"Absolutely. And did it ever cross your mind that maybe I'd like to be your girlfriend?" I said, taking his hand in mine and intertwining our fingers.
"No, not really." he said, looking at our hands.
"Well, I would." I said with a wide a smile.
"Well, let me ask you properly. Allyson Dawson, will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course. I'd love to." I then ran into his arms.
"Now I'm on top of the world. I have the most beautiful, kind, and funny girl in the world." he said.
"Aww, thanks. I have the most handsome, sweet, and funny guy in the world." I said.
"I love you" he whispered into my hair.
"I love you, too." I then kissed him. He passionately returned the kiss and put his arms around my waist. We finally came up for air.
"I'm finally happy here." I said.
"You weren't before?" he asked.
"Nope. Not until I met you." I was smiling so much. I was so happy!
"Well, I'm glad." he laughed a little.
"Yup. I'm looking forward to this now. You'll be my inspiration for songs. You ok with love songs?"
"I love love songs. Especially now because I have someone to love." he said.
"Good. Well, see you tomorrow. It's getting late."
"Okay, see you tomorrow! Love you!" he said, walking back to his car.
"Love you too!" I yelled after him. Then I went in. I was on top of the world! A perfect boyfriend and perfect friends. When I went inside, I saw Amanda and Alex on the couch. It was 11:00 p.m. I had a lot of explaining to do, especially to Alex because he hasn't heard anything about Austin. Hope this goes well.
A/N: And there you have it! When I started writing this, it was like 9:00 and now it's like 11:00 p.m. I take a long time to type lol. Anyways, I felt bad for not updating yesterday. I wasn't in the mood…long story. Anyways, sorry this is up late! I read so many other fan fictions. They're amazing. Oh, and it may sound like this story is over but it's not. It's only the beginning ;). I want this story to be like 100 chapters if possible. I get inspiration every day, and I want to express those ideas into stories. I'm a hopeless romantic. I should be able to update next week and I might update tomorrow. We'll see. This chapter is longer than the others, so I hope you like it! Yay! Austin and Ally are finally together! Please review and tell me what you think so far! I may add some Trez. Let me know if I should.
(1): I really do hate tables with chairs. They're… annoying. I like booths that you can just slide into and I like when I go and there's nobody on my side, so I can stretch out my legs lol.
(2): I love strawberry lemonade! I get it at almost every restaurant. It makes me feel like an adult because they have to get it from the bar. ;)
(3): An ICEE is a frozen liquid drink. It's like a slushie and it's like ALL sugar. I love them, but I can't always have them.
Anyways, see y'all later!
'Live, Love, Laugh'
