A/N Hey everyone thank you so much for all the support and reviews :) This is the last chapter this week but don't worry its a great chapter! I seriously had so much fun writing this chapter! I hope you guys like it as much as I do because I think this is my best chapter. There are many cute auslly moments and its my longest chapter yet with over 2000 words :D Please R&R because the reviews have been dying down. Has the story become boring? Just tell me and give me suggestions :D Oh and I see I haven't said something in my chapters so... I do not own Austin and Ally only this storys plot. Well enough of my yapping.. on with the story :D
It has been 2 weeks since I first moved in with Austin and it hasn't been that bad. Well aside from the fact that Mimi knows I'm in love with Austin and she keep trying to give him hints that I do, it has been pretty good. Thank God he is the most oblivious person I have ever met. I've heard nothing about HIM but I'm still terrified. Just because there is no news of him, doesn't mean he still isn't out there. This though, will not stop me from living my life. HE cannot control my life and I will not let him so today I will be facing my fear. Today is my first day I am going somewhere outside in 2 weeks. Today Austin and I are going to the mall. Austin is waiting for me downstairs while I sit on my bed, feeling sort of cowardly. My legs seem to be frozen because they will not cooperate with me and help me take me downstairs. I hear a faint a knock on the door and before I can say anything the door opens. I look up to see Austin looking at me with a small smile on his face. He chuckles at me and comes over to sit next to me on the bed.
"Are you coming or not?"
I laugh at how ridiculous I'm acting and nod my head at him.
"Yeah. Lets go."
I stand up and so does Austin, causing a warmth and comfort to automatically invade my whole body. He holds out is hand and I take it, lacing our fingers together and it feels oh so good. He leads me out of my room and down the stairs, bringing me closer to the fear I have unfortunately obtained. We walk outside and I am instantly welcomed with a warm air brushing my face. I smile and look up at the sky while my eyes close. I let out a happy sigh and Austin gently pulls me down from the porch and onto the sidewalk. We walk in comfortable silence to the mall while his hand is still in mine. We decided to get a bite to eat at the Melody Diner before doing anything else. When we arrive there we sit at the booth we always sit at, although we haven't been here in quite a while.
"Jeez, I haven't been here in so long! I can't wait to have chicken pot pie."
"To be honest, I haven't been here in a while either. The last time I was here was when I sang heartbeat to Cassidy."
Crack. That was the sound of my heart breaking just a tiny bit. Why did he have to mention her? I tried so hard to forget all about that. I looked up at him and gave him a fake smile.
"Yeah and then she just left. That must of sucked!"
Wow that was a bitch move. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh. I don't want to hurt him. I know it was hard for him that day. To my surprise, Austin just laughs.
"Yeah. But don't worry, she said when she comes back I'll get that date."
Ouch... I laugh with him then sadly look at my menu. Just then our waiter comes over to our table. I look up at him and he starts to sing.
"Hello my name is Porter, can I take your order?"
He was staring at me the whole time and I was staring at him too. He was HOT! And he was a great singer! I shyly smile and him and he winks at me causing me to giggle and blush uncontrollably. Austin clears his throat and Porter and I look at him. He looked.. pissed? He gives Porter a death glare then tells him what he wants. Is Austin.. jealous? Well, this could be fun! If he wants to talk about Cassidy then I will flirt with Porter. Porter writes down Austins order and then turns to me with a flirtatious smile.
"And what about you pretty lady? What can I get for you?"
Okay he is good at singing, but not as good as Austin. Speaking of Austin I can see him intently staring at Porter and I. I give Porter a flirty smile and start to play with a strand of my hair while batting my eyelashes at him.
"What would you recommend cutie?"
He chuckles and I hear Austin scoff in disgust. Then Porter starts to sing.
"I would recommend the chicken pot pie."
"Hmm... exactly what I was thinking! I'll have that then thank you."
He smiles and nods then reaches for my menu which I purposely put on the left side of me. He bends down and reaches out for my menu which makes his face millimetres away from mine. I can see from across me Austin tapping his fingers on the table staring at Porter as if he's ready to attack him. Yes! Its working! Porter takes the menu and winks at me before walking away with him facing me. I give him a flirty 4 finger wave and giggle. I look at Austin who is glaring at me angrily.
"What?"
"Oh do not play innocent with me Ally! Why are you flirting with him!? He only wants to get into your pants!"
He practically yells at me. Whoa, I knew he was jealous but I can't believe he just said that.
"It's called I can flirt with whoever I want! And do you really think I'm not good enough for someone to like me other then my body?"
I say the last part quietly and Austins face immediately drops. Austin gets up and sits beside me, letting out a huge, regretful sigh.
"Ally I'm sorry. I shouldn't of said that I was being a jerk. You are good enough. In fact you are way to good for him."
I look up at him and he has the cheesiest smile on his face. I can't help but laugh at him, glad that our little argument was officially over. I wrap my arms tightly around his neck almost knocking him over, causing him to chuckle lightly. He wraps his arms around my waist and we stay like that for a while. We break a part and I see Porter coming out way with our food.
"You should go back to your own seat, our foods coming."
He looks over at Porter then back to me with a small smirk on his face. He puts his hands behind his head and leans against the booth.
"Nahh, I'm good."
I playfully roll my eyes at him and laugh.
Porter comes over to our table and I notice his smile drop when he looks up at me and Austin. He puts down our food and I thank him then he walks away almost reluctantly. Austin and I ate our food while laughing and having fun. With everything going on, this is exactly what I needed in order to forget everything going on. This is seriously the most fun I had in a while. All of a sudden, Porter comes over to us and has an evil smile on his face. I am so over this guy. I want to get Austin to like me because of who I am, not because he's jealous. He leans down on the table and looks at me. He starts to talk in a whisper directly to me.
"So cutie, maybe after my shift we can go to my place and get to know each other. If you know what I mean."
He finishes his sentence by winking at me. I feel Austin tense beside me and his hand forms into a fist beside my leg under the table. Austin was totally right about this guy! I take Austins fist and un-fist it then lace our fingers together. Austin looks at me but I'm looking at Porter right in his eyes. I give him the most fake seductive smile I could master including a flirtatious giggle.
"That sounds really tempting."
Austin squeezes my hand hard, silently asking me what I am doing, but I ignore it. Porter gives me a seductive smile and I almost puke. I pick up my glass of water and pretend to drink it.
"But.. you know what would be better?"
I say huskily to him. I can hear Austin growl beside me and I just giggle at him, thinking his behavior is hilarious and mentally loving the fact that he is so protective of me.
"And what's that?"
I raise my drink and throw the water in his face. Austin and Porter look shocked but then Austin starts to laugh so hard he starts crying. I stand up still holding Austins hand, bringing Austin up with me.
"If you never talk to me like that again, I will make sure that you have the inability to produce children, capiche? Perv."
I slam the money we owe for the food on the table loudly and walk out of the diner, pulling Austin along with me, who still happens to be laughing when we get outside.
"Ally! That was too good!"
He says through his laughing fit. I laugh with him as we walk hand in hand down the street.
"Thanks. He deserved it."
"Okay now off to the mall!"
We walk to the mall and the rest of the day is full of fun, and just pure carelessness. I get new outfits with shoes while Austin kindly held my bags for me without complaint. Because of this day, I forget all about HIM. It doesn't even feel like a psycho killer is out there trying to get me. With Austin around, I feel more safe then I ever had in my entire life. If Austin is ready to kill someone who just flirts with me, imagine what he does to someone who actually wants to kill me. The sun was setting so we decided it was time to head back home. The walk home was once again filled with a comfortable silence. We arrived home and I put all the stuff I bought away in the right places in my room.
"Hey Ally can you come down here for a second?"
I hear Austin call from downstairs.
"Coming."
I walk out of my room and down the stairs. I see Austin sitting on the couch in the living room fiddling with something in his hands. Once I start to walk over to him, he finally looks up at me.
"What's up?"
He smiles at me then puts the thing he was fiddling with beside him and away from me. He pats the side beside him and I instinctively go over and sit beside him. He looks at me and his smile grows even bigger causing mine to unconsciously grow too. He didn't seem nervous, but really excited.
"Ally, your my best friend and what your going through is terrible and I'm so sorry this has happened to because you do not deserve any of it. I'm really glad your here so that I can protect you. I could never live with myself if anything happened to you. Today at the mall when you were in the bathroom I saw something that reminded me of you so I got it for you."
By now I was in tears because that is the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me. He took a velvet rectangular case out from beside him and gave it to me which I graciously took.
"I hope you like it."
I opened the box and my jaw immediately dropped to the floor, leaving my mouth wide open in disbelief. It was the most beautiful charm bracelet I have ever seen in my life. It was sterling silver with music notes all around it with yellow and red gem stones in the middle of the balls of the music notes. There was one charm attached to the bracelet about 2 inches long and it read "A&A Best Friends Forever" I gaped at it for the longest time and then looked up at Austin who had a look on his face that showed he was eager to know if I liked it or not.
"Well..?"
He asked me and I gave him the biggest smile ever causing him to do the same. I put the bracelet down on the table then attacked him in a hug. He instantly hugged back and his whole body relaxed, just like mine did.
"Its beautiful! Thank you so much Austin!"
"A beautiful bracelet for a beautiful girl."
When he said this my heart started to beat a mile a minute and I hugged him even tighter. When we broke a part he took the bracelet and put it on me. I smiled down at it and looked back up at Austin who's face was inches from mine. We stared in each others eyes and then we both started to lean in. Our noses finally touched while our eyes shut and our lips got closer and closer...
"RING. RING. RING."
Austin and I jumped a part and he dug in his pocket and took out his phone that was ringing. Damn you phone! I almost kissed the love of my life!
"Hello... Yeah I'm fine... Oh okay... We'll be alone?... Okay bye... Love you too."
Then he hung up his phone and put it back in his pocket, looking towards me again with a slight blush on his cheeks. Aww he is so adorable.
"That was my mom. She said her and my dad are staying at my aunts for the night so we'll be alone until tomorrow night."
Thank you Lord! I tried to hide the smile that was creeping on my face and act neutral and not like a total obsessive freak.
"Okay."
I yawned then looked at the clock on the wall that said it was 9:30 at night and I was extremely tired from having such a fun day.
"I think I'm going to go to bed, I'm super tired."
I saw Austin frown a bit but then it quickly went away and he lightly smiled at me.
"Okay. Have a good sleep Ally."
"Thanks Austin, you too."
I got up and started to walk towards the stairs then I stopped. I turned around and walked over to Austin who was still sitting on the couch. I stood in front of him and he looked up at me with a confused look. I bent down and gave him a quick peck on the cheek then looked him straight in his gorgeous eyes.
"Thank you. For everything."
I walked toward the stairs and quickly looked back to see Austin smiling with his hand on the cheek I had just kissed. I turned back and headed up the stairs with a huge grin on my face. I went into my my room shutting the door behind me then took off my clothes, only wearing a bra and underwear. I put only my yellow short shorts with black music notes and went to bed since it was way to hot to wear a shirt. I then went to bed feeling happier then ever.
