"Ally?"
"Yes."
"I highly doubt that Ally knows that I'm a vampire."
"Well, this world is filled with many mysteries. One included you being a vampire."
"Well, okay then. We will just have to figure it for ourselves then won't we?" Austin starts walking towards the door when Dez stops him. "What?"
"You're going to straight up ask her if she knows that you're a vampire?"
"No. I'm going to do that. That would be stupid. I'm just going to subtlety talk about my ring a bit."
"If you say so."
Ally walks in, "Are you guys done?"
"Yeah, Dez was just leaving." Austin says awkwardly. Austin pushes Dez out the door and Austin and Ally walk over to the piano and sit on the piano bench. "So have you seen my ring anywhere?"
"Your ring? You wear a ring?"
"Yeah, for about a year now."
"Oh, that blue ring you wear in your middle finger?"
"Yeah." Austin says curiously.
"Oh, aren't you..." Ally looks down at Austin's hand and notices that he's not wearing it. "You're not wearing it."
"Yeah, that's why I am asking you."
"Can you give me one second?" Ally stands up and walks over to her bag that's in the foosball table and digs through it. She looks back at Austin and smiles nervously and goes back to digging through her bag. She stops and sighs. She goes back to sit next to Austin.
"What was that?"
"What was what?"
"That. You just dug through your bag like a maniac. You you okay?"
"I'm fine. Something came to mind and I thought I lost it. But I didn't. That's all I need to say."
"Okay."
About an hour later Ally leaves the store and Austin calls Dez.
"Hello?"
"Dez! I think you were right."
"Why is that so? Did she say she had your ring?"
"No but I was talking about it and she went through her bag and she was very nervous. I think she thought I had the ring back so she thought it wasn't in her purse. She figured out that she still had it and we continues writing."
"Okay. But why would she want the ring? She wouldn't want to hurt you, Austin. She loves you."
"I know but it still doesn't make sense."
"We just need to piece through the puzzle."
"Yeah, but how? Wait, what did you just say?"
"Which part?"
"You just said that Ally loves me."
"Oh, um, as a friend of course. Not like you guys were dating or anything."
"Okay then. We need to figure out something."
"Let's think."
About a few hums and whistles someone decided to speak up with a thought. "Dez!"
"What?"
"I have an idea."
To Ally From Austin
Hey Als. Want to hang out?
To Austin from Ally
Sure. Where?
To Ally from Austin
My place.
To Austin from Ally
Kk.
About a half an hour of Austin waiting for Ally to get to his house she finally gets there. Austin answers the door and invited Ally into his house. It's a large enough house. Long hallway and turn to the right and walk down a few steps is the large living room and a fire place in the middle with old couches surrounding them. Austin's parents love old furniture. As you walk in his house to the left is a stare case that goes up to his room. There's another room but no one occupies it because Austin is an only child. His parents sleep on the main floor.
"So what's up?" Ally asks.
"Just wanted to hang out."
"Okay? What should we do?"
Austin picks up a remote and clicks play. Suddenly music plays and Austin grabs Ally's hand and dances around. Ally laughs and joins Austin. Austin pours Ally a drink and they both take shots.
"Woa!" Ally laughs. "We both need to invite some people."
"Naw, this is fine. We will have fun by ourselves." Austin starts turning down the music till it's barely audible.
"What are you doing? Why'd you turn down the music?"
Austin looks up into Ally's eyes, "You are going to listen to every word I say and follow all my directions."
Ally repeats, "I'm going to listen to every word you say and follow all your directions."
"Good. Now why don't you take seat?" Austin takes Ally's drink out of her hand and she follows his directions and sits on the couch. Austin sits next to Ally. He sets his hands on her shoulders. "Who am I?"
"You're Austin Moon."
"Can you be a little more accurate? Who am I to you?"
"You're Austin Moon. My best friend."
"Do you have anything else to add?"
"No."
"Good. Now just answer one more question, What do you know about my Ring?"
"You wear it all the time. You said it's a family heirloom. I don't know how far it goes back to but it looks really old."
"Can you give me my ring back?"
"Of course." Ally gets up and comes back with it in her hand. Austin holds out his hand and places the ring softly on his hand. Austin takes off the other ring and places the ring in his finger. He puts the other ring in his pocket.
"Ally, forget everything I just asked you."
Ally blinks her eyes a couple times and looks at Austin. "What happened to the music? It was blaring a few seconds ago."
"I'm getting a headache. I'm a little tired and I drank a few tonight. You can stay if you want to. The spare bedroom if free."
"Sure." Austin and Ally go upstairs and say goodnight to Each other. Austin just lays in bed thinking of all the reasons why Ally would have taken his ring. She wouldn't have known that he's a vampire. Couldn't let her know. There a soft screech coming from Austin's bedroom door and Austin looks over. "Did I wake you, Austin?" Ally asks softly.
"No. Can't sleep?"
"No. Can I join you?"
"Jump in."
