Chapter 10: The Wedding Planners: Let's Trust Each Other
"Your eyes are really gorgeous." David spoke to Ally.
He was leaning in close to her and the two had gone off to stand by the shoreline. The waves would crash with the sand every now and then bringing in a crab or a shell. With the sunset far off in the distance, the view was picturesque.
Ally played with a lock of her brown hair, passing it around with her fingertips. She was mesmerized by this David guy. No one had ever been this sweet to her, or put in so much effort to flirt.
Austin sat down on a large jagged rock by the amazing venue.
He could totally see wedding ceremony here. It was with a backdrop of an ocean, a beach wedding basically. Trish and Dez could give their vows right over there, bridesmaids and flower girls walk down the aisle over there. Austin started to plan out the area in his head. He looked over at the two of them playing in the sand.
Cute couple.
He looked down at the ground and scooped some sand into his palm. He always loved the beach. Great memories were always linked with this place. Either a party or a concert or just a fun day surfing.
But today.
Today was not a good memory. Austin dumped the sand out of his palm and thought back to plotting ways to terminate David's existence.
Austin felt sometime move beside him and saw Trish sit down on a rock next to him.
"We're going to get wet." She complained, adjusting her position.
The waves hit the rocks again and as Trish had predicted, they were getting kind of wet.
Austin ignored her and eyed David. Why did it even matter whether he was wet or dry? Ally still wouldn't like him.
"You like it?" Austin spoke, lifting his eyes to look at his curly- haired friend.
"Yeah! The venue's great! I mean it's peaceful and filled with serenity. I think. . . I think it's a nice place. It had a nice feel to it. But my reception, my reception needs to kick butt, you hear blondie?" She nudged him with her shoulder and the two laughed lightly.
"Ally's going to throw you a great wedding." He sighed when he mentioned her name.
"I came up with twenty- seven ways to kill David." He admitted, messing up his hair.
"Twenty- seven? Wow. I'm impressed." Trish shook her head and let out a chuckle.
"I don't get you. If you love her so much, why'd you yell to the entire restaurant that you didn't?" Trish asked.
She seemed amused by this whole love triangle situation.
"I don't love her." He pouted and muttered under his breath. He played with his fingers like a toddler.
Oiii. . .Trish stared at him. DENIALLLL.. She sang in her head.
"So you just wanna kill David. . . cause. . . " She paused and implied that he should finish her sentence.
"Ally would never like me like that." He suddenly blurted out.
"And I do." Austin continued.
"I cant stop thinking about her. Her laugh. Her smile. Her eyes." Austin sighed and fake punched the ground. His hair fell over into his eyes and he shoved it away.
Then he widened his eyes and looked up to Trish, realizing what he just said. And more like who he just said it to.
Trish didn't seem surprised, but simply waved the concept away with her hand.
"You're an idiot." She plainly stated.
He's in love with her and she's in love with him. . . But.. both.. this is ridiculous. I'm taking this situation into my own hands.
"Austin. Go tell Ally what you just told me and I guarantee you, she will be yours."
Austin stared at her. He couldn't believe that she had actually just suggested that.
"I could never. . . "Austin's voice trailed off.
"Austin. I'll give you till the wedding. You tell her or else I will." Trish said clearly to him.
She abruptly stood up from her rock and patted him on the head.
"Trust me." She smiled down at him and Austin returned a forced smile.
He couldn't believe what Trish just got him into.
He watched Trish run over to Dez, who was putting the final touches on his sandcastle. When he saw her, he jumped up, abandoning his moat and running over to hug her, swinging her around, before gently placing her on the ground.
I wish I could do that to Ally. He thought.
"Austin?" His favorite voice broke through his thoughts.
He looked away from Dez and Trish and focused on the little brunette, who had seemed to replace Trish's place on the rock.
"Hey." He said lightly.
"Hey." She responded.
Austin glanced around the beach; David had seemed to abandon Ally for the new clients who just arrived.
"Do they like it?" She gestured at Trish and Dez with her eyes.
"Yeah. They love it, but Trish says her reception needs to be crazzzzyy." Austin waved his hands in the air and Ally laughed at him.
"You did good. I'm proud of you." He locked his eyes with her.
Hmmm. Could? Maybe telepathy? I LOVE YOU ALLY..
He felt like a complete and utter idiot.
Ally smiled back at him. "Thanks."
Things are still weird between us. Gosh, I say 'I wont ever fall in love with her' ONE time. How long till she likes me again?
Austin turned his head, he was getting annoyed by the fact that she was still refusing to open up to him.
The other Ally would have been gushing to him about this David guy, leaning on his shoulder and insisting that they play in the rocks.
I want my Ally back. Austin complained to himself.
Ally placed her hands firmly on the rock, pushing herself up and then reaching for Austin's hand, she pulled him up too. She let go immediately afterwards and looked him in the eye. They stared at each for a little while, when Dez and Trish came up behind them.
"Guys, its getting dark." Dez spoke cautiously, tapping Ally on her shoulder. He was afraid to interrupt their small moment they were having.
She broke her gaze with Austin and nodded at the ground.
"Yeah. Let's go home." Ally spoke softly and started to head over to walk by Trish.
NO. NO. NO. AUSTIN. MAN- UP! His conscious yelled at him.
Austin reached over and grabbed her hand, pulling her back to him. She crashed against his side.
"Why don't you walk with me?" He whispered by her ear.
Dez and Trish had already started their way to the car, stopping for small kisses every now and then.
Ally stuttered, not sure how to reply.
"Pleasee? You can tell me about this David foo- ahem guy." Austin teased her, speaking closely by her ear. It was so cute and petite.
I'm day dreaming about her ear. Yup, I gotta ask this girl out. Till the wedding, Austin.
Ally stared at him and blew out a sigh. She leaned into his side and nuzzled her head into his chest, as if she was trying to block out memories.
"He is the sweeetesttt thing Austin!" She gave a little squeal and Austin died on the inside.
She's found her Prince Charming. Austin thought.
But it was alright, he was winning her back. One hand holding and nuzzling moment at a time.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
"Good night."
"Night." The two couples waved to each other.
Austin and Ally decided that Trish and Dez deserved some romantic evening time to themselves, but promised each other to reconcile in the morning for breakfast.
Austin refused to let Ally leave his side since the walk to the car at the beach, and as Ally started upstairs to her bedroom, Austin still clung by her.
My date. . . Ally thought.
During the car ride, she had told Austin every single detail about what David said to her, but may have skipped out on a teeensey weeenseeyy question that David had mentioned at the end.
Would she go out with him tonight?
And Ally said yes to him.
She had never kept anything from Austin. Sure, she had kept the fact that she had a strange urge to drive a car over every girl, he's ever dated or that hearing Austin say that he would never fall in love with her was like something inside of her was being broken down. But right now with his warm breathe right by her neck, she really didn't want to mention that she was seeing another guy tonight.
He'll figure it out when you leave anyway. Ally reassured herself.
They walked into Ally's room and Austin let go of her, flinging himself on her bed. Ally gently sat down on the edge and felt two strong arms wrap around her. Austin pulled her in beside him.
She giggled and glanced at the clock.
I have an hour. Gosh, I need to get ready.
"I'm gunna go take a shower, kay." She told him. He nodded.
"I'll look around for some reception venues." He said to her.
She smiled and gave him a hug in thanks, before rolling off the bed.
Austin laid down on the bed for a couple of seconds, lost in thoughts about Ally, when he heard the water in the shower turn on.
Groaning for he hated getting up, he pushed himself off the bed and reached for his laptop. He typed in his password and played around on Tweeter for a while, before remembering the venue he had to find.
"It had a nice feel to it. But my reception, my reception needs to kick butt, you hear blondie?" Austin thought back to Trish's words.
He completely understood. The wedding ceremony needed to sweet and happy. It was a decision to spend their lives with each other. But the reception was fun, it was when everyone's wild side came out.
Austin thought over it for a little while, before typing into Google. He searched and clicked, typed and bookmarked. Every now and then, the lack of information or cooperation of the internet would make rub his eyes in exhaustion, but it would be worth it.
All he wanted was Ally to be happy with him. Because when she was happy, he was happy.
Plus happy, meant another hug and Austin would do anything to hold her again.
He was scrolling through his venues when out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone come up behind him.
It was Ally and she looked gorgeous beyond belief. Austin's jaw dropped slightly and he felt himself start to stammer.
She's beautiful. . . incredible. . .sexy. . . Austin cleared his throat, but couldn't make any words come out.
Ally was dressed in a red dress that stopped mid- calf and was wearing black stiletto heels. Her hair was curled to perfection, and she had played with her make- up, for her lips were red, matching the dress and a rosy pink blush covered her cheeks.
The only jewelry she had on, was the silver anklet on her left foot. She still remembers that day at the mall.
It was a young Russian woman outside of the jewelry store, she was advertising for her store. Ushering people to enter and of course, Austin and his small attention span just had to go in.
"What about this?" She showed him two silver anklets.
"Matching, you know? Good for forever friendship." She winked at Austin and flashed the shiny metal before his eyes.
"I don't know." He scratched his chin. "Isn't an anklet kind of a girl thing?"
"Nooo.. quite fashionable for the men these days. Here. Here, Try it on." She handed one to Ally and the other to Austin. They slipped them on their ankles and placed them next to each other.
"Perfect for the both of you" Austin liked that word. Both, together, us, we… As long as Ally was the other part of it.
"We'll buy it!" Austin decided. The young Russian smiled and swiped his credit card.
"Austin?" Ally waved a hand in front of his face, and his flashback ended.
"Do I look okay?"
Austin sprang up out of the bed.
"You look incredible, beautiful, amazing." All of his words suddenly gushed out like a river.
Ally smiled and glanced at the computer screen.
"OOhhh.. Find anything?" She asked excitedly, rolling onto the bed again.
Austin lied on his stomach beside her and clicked through the tabs. Ally nodded at some, but would quietly close others, until they had narrowed the choices down to one.
The venue was like a sparkly beach house, complete with a pool, a DJ and a surround sound system. And to Austin's dislike and Ally's amazement, contained as many as twenty chandeliers.
"Done and done." She spoke, gazing lovingly at the pictures.
"Pretty dope." Austin nodded, copying down the address in his phone.
"Austin, what have I told you about saying 'dope'?"
"To never say it?"
Ally nodded.
"Dope." He said again teasing her. She covered her ears..
"LALALALALALALA."
"DOPE DOPE DOPE DOPEE!" They screamed at each other, until Ally finally gave up.
They looked at each other and giggled, before realizing how close they actually were to each other. While they were yelling, they seemed to have moved closer to each other, so that her left leg was crossing over his right.
DING DONG DINGG.
The doorbell let out a musical ring and Ally got up off the bed and ran her fingers over the dress, trying to smooth out some of the wrinkles in the silk.
"Uhh.. Ally?"
She looked down at Austin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked slightly confused.
"Oh yeahh.. Uh. I'm going out with David tonight." She rushed out of the room and started down the stairs.
David. DAVID. SHE'S GOING OUT WITH DAVID! No no no no no no no no…
Austin rushed from his seat and practically ran down the stairs, after her.
She cant go out with David. . . No no.. I dealt with Dallas for a year. Losing her every now and then for dates. No no no.. There is no way, I am going through that again. There is no way, I'm going to lose Ally again.
"Wait, Ally." His words pierced the atmosphere and everything around him seemed to freeze for a second.
Ally turned around, her fingers were on the door knob. One twist and she was gone, Austin had lost her once again.
"Please don't go." He said softly.
Ally's eyes widened. He grabbed her other free hand and bent down on one knee, as if he was proposing.
"Pleasee?" He begged.
"But, Austin, David?" She looked back between the door and him shocked.
"Pleasee, Ally. Spend tonight with me. Pleasee." He stood up and hugged her, whispering by her ear.
"Trust me."
