I quickly covered my shoulder after the kiss. My face was beet red. My hands began to tremble slightly. I don't know why. Regardless, I grabbed my pen and continued to write my notes.
Austin eventually took his arm out from behind me and placed it on his own lap. He noticed my trembling and slightly white hands. His grazed his fingers on top of my hands.
I didn't stop writing. Instead, I took a deep breath and as a result my hands stopped shaking. Thank god.
The lesson finally ended.
I gathered all of my belongings and was ready to exit the hall but it was so crowded! I really wanted to head to the cafeteria to grab some breakfast.
To not help matters in anyway, the tall blond kept on pushing me from behind. Yes, with his hands on my waist. Calm your balls dude. The line will move eventually!
I began walking to the cafeteria and thankfully Austin didn't follow me.
I reached the cafeteria and bought a bagel. I looked around for a place to sit. Then, I saw Trish. I almost squealed with excitement. Though I met her quite recently (last night), she and I just clicked immediately.
"TRISH!" I half-yelled when I saw her.
She turned around, and smiled.
"Hey Ally! Where did you disappear off to last night?!" she exclaimed.
"Oh its a long story, trust me-"
Austin then slipped onto the cafeteria bench, placing his arm on Trish's shoulder. She seemed completely unaffected by it, almost as if it happened on a daily basis.
"Moon," she simply stated.
"Dez" he said back to her.
Her eyes widened, and she turned around and punched his arm lightly. He broke into a fit of laughter. I have no idea why. What's 'Dez'?
Then, I took a seat on the bench in front of them, placing my tray on the table between us.
Trish turned back to me and said, "yeah, so Ally tell me. Where were you last night?"
I had just taken a bite of my bagel, and after that question had been addressed, I almost choked! Austin was clearly amused by all of this.
Oh no! No no no no no no. I'm not going to be the only one embarrassed about this situation. If you find this amusing, oh just wait and watch.
"I was making out with blondie here." I coolly pointed to Austin.
He did not see that coming. At all. His face was so red and he seemed quite flustered after my nonchalant and frank response. Trish, on the other hand, was grinning.
"And I was just going to introduce you guys," she laughed.
We talked for a few minutes, but then Trish had to leave as she needed to go see Dez. I found out that Dez was Austin's best friend and Trish's almost-boyfriend. Apparently, they are the three best friends who go to the same university. That's so cute!
Oh wait, Trish is leaving. That means that Austin and I will be alone. Nope, can't let that happen.
"Alright, bye guys!" Trish said as she got up to leave.
"Oh guys, I need to leave as well. My next lecture is going to be starting soon," I stated.
"Mine too," Austin said.
"So I guess we're all leaving," Trish laughed.
We all began walking and as soon as Dez was in our vicinity, Trish forgot all about us. Convenient for Austin. As he saw Trish leave us, he grabbed me and pulled me into the stairwell.
My back was against the wall and Austin was standing right in front. I had to look up to be able to see his face. I kept my focus on his eyes. They had a familiar glint to them. He seemed to be in a "love-making and lets-be-intimate" mood. I was more in a "dude-we-don't-even-know-each-other-and-what-happe ned-to-your-friend/girlfriend."
"How may I help you?" I asked.
He laughed, amused by my inability to read his actions.
"Last night was -" he started. He didn't finish the sentence. Instead, he searched my face for a response.
Author's Note: I know, sort of a filler chapter. But it's building up! Oh how do you find Ally's character? A bit bolder than you expected or what? :)
