AN: Howdy! Yeah, I haven't updated in a while. I'm just uber busy. Like I haven't said that before. But I rarely use my computer to surf the web. I use my iPod. But here it is!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Austin & Ally or anything related to it. I wish.
Austin was nervous. He never got nervous. But for some reason, this girl just made his heart flutter like a butterfly in the Spring. He held a single rose and a small box of chocolates in his hands, walking towards the Sonic Boom.
Ally was standing by the register, as usual. Dez and Trish were up in the Practice Room, probably bickering. Or eavesdropping.
The store was quiet, and there was only one customer.
As Austin opened the door, he nearly smacked the customer in the face, who actually happened to be leaving. He chuckled guiltily. "Sorry, Ma'am."
With a shrug, he walked over to the counter, looking Ally up and down. She wore a flowery green dress and brown wicker belt, as she usually did.
"What's up, Austin?" She offered him an innocent smile, totally oblivious at the moment to the fact that he was hiding something behind his back.
"Well, Alls..." Austin hopped onto the counter and swung his legs around so he was facing her. He pulled the flower and chocolates from behind his back, offering the same innocent smile that she had given to him just moments before.
"I know we were going to go see a movie tonight... Y'know, as friends. But... what if we went as... Something else?"
Ally looked alarmed. That wasn't exactly what Austin had been going for. Her face was turning a bright shade of red, the same as the rose. Austin looked away, trying to look at something else. His gaze decided to settle on the particles of dust floating through the air, as a result of the bright Miami sunlight. But his eyes were distracted by Dez's head popping out from the doorway of the room upstairs. It was only a fraction of a second, before a smaller hand, presumably Trish's, pulled him back.
"Austin... "
He hadn't heard his name, he was back to counting dust particles, trying to keep himself away from reality.
"AUSTIN!"
He nearly fell off of the counter.
"Sorry. What did you say?" Austin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, grimacing.
"Austin... I said I can't." Now it was Ally's turn to look away. "Dallas asked me earlier this morning. I'm really sorry."
AN: So, what do you think? Please review!
PSST... Tell you what. 50th reviewer gets to make a suggestion for the next chapter. It doesn't have to be for after this chapter if I don't get to 50 reviews, so I'll tell you if that's the case. :) Thanks for reading!
