Disclaimer: any songs I use the lyrics to work better if you listen to the songs when they come up, just saying. There's a list at the tail end of this story, just look them up & read along. I also tend to leave some space for imagination, so just imagine what's happening if you'd like while the songs are playing.
Also, if you guys wanna point out any grammatical, spelling, or continuity errors I accidentally let slip by, please let me know either through reviews, or PMs. They'd be greatly appreciated in the long run.

Hey, guys. I'm updating this story too. I updated my Good Luck Charlie story a week, or 2 ago & I'll hopefully get the last few chapters of that out in the next few weeks, if I can only sit & focus on writing them, but I digress...
...
It was about a little after 7:30 AM. Austin slowly regained consciousness. Not wanting to get up yet, he just laid there some more. He could hear the TV show that was on in the distance. He suddenly felt the presence of Ally lying next to him. Slowly, he opened his eyes & turned his head to the left. Ally was lying there peacefully. He wasn't sure if she was just lying there not wanting to get up either, or if she was still asleep. He lifted the blanket slightly, as not to disturb her. He saw that they were both in the nude under them, the memories came flowing back into his mind.
"Wow, that really did happen last night," he whispered to himself, lowering the blanket.
He then got up, put his boxers on, & went into his bathroom connected to his bedroom. He closed the door 'til there was just a crack open. The sound of liquid trickling came from the room.
Ally slowly woke up, drifting fast into consciousness, faster than Austin did. She awoke fully, thinking she was back in her room. Then it hit her. She sat upright, analyzing her surroundings. She could hear the trickling liquid. By that, she could tell he was in the bathroom. She put her head in her hands, feeling a little sad & guilty.
The liquid stopped trickling. The facet came on for several seconds, then stopped. Austin opened the door & stood in the doorway. He looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked in a quiet voice, like Andrew Garfield in most of The Amazing Spider-Man.
She looked his way.
"Oh, nothing. It's just... I don't know. I'm just overwhelmed with feelings I can't process right now."
"Hey, hey," he said, walking over & taking her in his arms. "Do you regret what happened last night?" he asked as they locked eyes.
"No."
"Then you've got nothing to worry about, huh?" he said, letting go of her then he sat next to her. "What we did was mutual, great, &, if I do say so, really relaxing. I'm joking of course on that last part," he said, then both of them started to chuckle.
"I don't know what I did to deserve someone like you," she said, smiling.
"Well, my type of people are a rare breed," he said, extending the jokes & chuckling.
Ally kissed him before he could repeat more old relationship jokes from old sitcoms. They then broke apart.
"So, what was that business with Kayla last night?"
"Oh. You know the few weeks I was suspended last year for punching Garrett out?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, the Friday of that week, I was invited to a party at Kayla's house. Me & Dez went, & after a little while, Kayla lead me upstairs in her house & her, along with 2 other girls, had their way with me. In all honesty, not my best moment, but what could I do? I was horny & never had sex before."
"So, you had sex with 3 other girls before me? I'm your fourth?"
"Why do you sound sad? I've only just realized my feelings for you a few months ago. I barely knew you when it happened & you barely knew me. You dated Dallas & I can get over that. Besides, you saw how Kayla was last night. You're a much better person than her."
"Really, you think?"
"Definitely. You're a hundred times better than her. She used an asshole to get back at me for not wanting to be with her. You're 1000 times more mature than she is. I'd take you any day of the week," he said, kissing her. They leaned back down & the scene faded to them lying next to each other, he had her in his arms, her head on his chest.
"I have a feeling this is gonna be a great thing," Ally said.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah. I've only realized my feelings for you as well & I can tell this is right."
"Me too. So, um, do you have any plans for the day? Like, are you going to open the store?"
"I think I'll call in sick. Plus since my dad isn't there either, I'll have them put a sign on the door saying it's closed for repairs, or something."
"Repairs?" he said with a chuckle. "What are you running here? A shop, or an amusement park ride?"
"Shut up," she said, slightly pushing him with her arm. "I'll have Trish go in for me & I'll help her lock up later."
"All right, so do you need any clothes? 'Cause you can't wear your prom dress all day," he said, getting up.
"Why not? I wanna feel like a princess," she said, then they both burst out laughing. "Seriously, though, can I borrow a large shirt of yours?"
"Yeah, no prob," he said, going to his dresser, then picked out a light hoodie jacket of his, then threw it to her as she called Trish.
"Slutty enough," she said, examining it while holding the phone to her ear with her shoulder as she slipped it on & zipped it. "Shorts?" she asked, making him search for a pair of shorts. She got & put on her panties from on the floor.
"Hello?" Trish answered the phone.
"Hey, Trish. Do you mind opening the store for me today? And maybe managing it too?"
"What?"
"Come on, you were gonna get another job today anyways, right? I'll pay you & you don't have to stay longer than 2-3 o'clock, okay? That's when my dad should get there."
"All right. Where are your keys?"
"They're at my house. There's a key for that in a secret compartment in my mailbox, on the top part of the inside of it, taped there."
"Wait, why aren't you at your house now?"
"I'm hanging out with Austin today," he threw a pair of just-washed shorts at her face.
"Oh, I get it. Don't worry, I'll handled everything."
"Ok, thanks Trish," she hung up the phone. He was putting on a shirt. "So, what to do now," she put on the shorts.
"We could always..." he motioned to the bed.
"Austin," she said, mad at him a little, staring at him.
"I'm just kidding. We'll do that later tonight," he said, then she started laughing as he put his arm around her & they exited the room. "You think I'm kidding, don't ya?" he said to her, then they walked down to his living room.

Stay tuned...
PEACE...
