So time has moved on since the last chapter, Austin and Ally are now twenty-one years old; Austin is touring the globe with Ally in tow. I don't own the show or the song. Also, I'm planning a new story, but it'll be a crossover with a book or a movie, and I would like you to go vote for which one you would like to read. Thanks! Enjoy :D
It's been five years since Austin wrote me a song, which eventually became his biggest hit up to that point, but he still kept me on his team as his most preferred song writer and his girlfriend. I can't help but smile when I think about the five years we've spent together, which is why I think the newest song is the best I've written, but I don't want to sing it to him until I've seen a ring. I have a feeling I won't have to wait too long. But now I'm sitting on the couch in his new apartment waiting on him to wake up. He arrived home last night after his last concert in Asia. In a week, we'll be off doing the last leg, thankfully, in America. I turn on the television and begin channel surfing until he comes in. I eventually stop on the Disney Channel to see what they are playing; a show about two teenagers trying to get one famous through singing and the other is a songwriter. I think they've done one like this before, but I've not watched since I was younger.
A new show begins before Austin finally makes his appearance, he's in a pair of boxers and a white tee shirt. He looks like he could pass out again, which is what he gets for picking a flight that comes in at two in the morning; why he couldn't leave at two in the morning, the world will never know. He heads towards the fridge and removes the carton of milk and pours himself a bowl of cereal, eventually joining me on the couch. "Good morning, Austin," I say as he butt hits the seat.
"Morning, babe," he says kissing my cheek, "What are you watching?" He asks when he looks at the screen. I shrug, and he continues eating. "Did you want any?"
"I'm good, but thank you. Do you want to sleep today or do something?" I ask a couple minutes later as he puts his bowl in the sink and washes it. "Because I want to do something that involves a bed," I blame my need for sex on him. We've not been around each other for five months, and I've been around the newly wedded Dez and Trish. I walk over to him, and his arm wraps around my waist. "If you don't mind of course," I know he won't since he's not been around me for five months either, and I know he didn't have sex during that period since I had people having a watchful eye on me. I guess he's all for it since he turns me to face him and starts to kiss me. We move to the bed, and I'll spare you the details of what happened after if you catch my drift.
We are now laying bed, fully clothed. "Ally, I know what we were doing today," Austin says quietly as he fiddles with my hair. Or what little was left off it since I cut off for Locks of Love while he was gone.
"What should we do, Austin?" I say looking his eyes. Even after five years, his eyes always get to me; I think because it's one of the only things that have stayed the same since we started working together. They were still kind, even though the world the two of us were living in wasn't as kind.
He says the words so nonchalant that it takes me a minute to realize what he said, "We should get married."
"What?" I finally stutter out after a good thirty seconds of shocked silence. He gets out of bed and walks to the bedside table and opens the top drawer; he grabs the box and walks to my side of the bed. He doesn't ask the question until he is good and ready to say it.
"Allyson Jane Dawson, I have loved you for five years, and I plan on spending an unnumbered amount of years into the future. Will you marry me?" I'm literally flying into his arms the next second, kissing his mouth over and over. He manages to make a full sentence in between my kisses although it's one word at a time, "I'll take that as a yes." I nod and he begins to kiss me back, but we don't end up having sex this time. We just kiss and smile for at least an hour before I take pictures of the ring and send it to the most important people in our lives: Dez, Trish, Jimmy, and our parents. Trish is the first one to reply.
From: Trishy
Holy Shit! It's gorgeous congrats, my loves.
After that everyone else seemed to say the same thing as Trish did, which makes me think he had already told everyone. But once everyone replied I sent out a message to my Tweeter account with a picture of my ring, Austin kissing my cheek, and me smiling from ear to ear. Within seconds I ended up with congratulatory messages, not all were but most were.
"I have a new song for you. I was going to wait until you proposed, but since now you have I guess I have no excuse not to," I say; he smiles and kisses my cheek. I stand up and walk into the practice room where the piano is and begin to play when he is comfortable.
You were in college working part time waiting tables Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
Left the small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts
I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I can see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You said we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water? Do you remember all the city lights on the water? Oh oh ohh You said (Hold on, make it last)
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the streets
Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said I'll ever leave you alone
I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine
(Hold on, never turn back)
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine
(Yes, yes), Do you believe it?
(Yes, yes), We're gonna make it now
(Yes, yes) and I can see it
I can see it now
He kisses me, "I loved it, Alls."
So I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to vote. The next chapter will be up after three reviews. :)
