I'M SO SORRY. I really am guys. I'm sooooooo sorry but I did warn you like I said I just started high school. Yeah I'm a freshman no so I've had a lot of work. So I'm sorry but hey I got done now so read on into the saga. YAY sorry again. Forgive me Pretty please.
Ally's POV
"I can't believe this is happening!" Trish shrieked for the millionth time tonight while nearly bouncing up and down.
After agreeing to the date with Austin I almost instantly regretted it. I mean our first date had nearly been a disaster when we couldn't find anything in common.
What if something even worse happened this time? Austin must've read the fear on my face because he said. "Y'know we can both bring a friend if that would make it less weird."
Instantly relief flooded through me. If I brought Trish and things got weird then at least I could have her to help me out. Though I did see a new problem after inviting Trish, she kept freaking out whenever I mentioned it.
I was still grateful she was coming with me though. "So where do you think we're going? A movie premiere? An exclusive restaurant? A ball?!" Trish asked excitedly nearly bouncing up and down again.
See? This was the kind of thing I was talking about. "Trish they may be famous but they aren't royalty." I said slightly annoyed while I applied eye shadow.
"So are you really thinking of turning down Austin Moon?" She said suddenly looking sad at the thought. I sighed and turned to face her expecting this question from her. "Yes Trish we're going out on this date then it's over." I said without hesitation.
"Why are you so scared him?" She asked. "Whhhhhhat? I am not afraid of Austin Moon." I said trying to sound confident but I hear my voice go up a notch the way it usually does when I lie.
She gave me a look with a skeptic smile and a raised eyebrow. I swayed back and forth nervously before finally just saying. "Shut up." In all honesty Austin terrified me. I didn't like the spotlight and if I was with him that spotlight would be pointed on me too.
I mean my business would be everyone's business I'd be a new gossip target and heavens knows what would happen if Austin and I broke up. That right there was probably my worst nightmare. Whatever was between me and Austin or wasn't there wasn't worth pursuing.
Luckily for me our conversation couldn't be continued because the doorbell rang. My stomach flipped nervously at the sound. While Trish squealed so loudly I thought all my windows would shatter.
She charged eagerly for the door. I ran nervously after her scared she would open the door and throw herself at our unsuspecting dates. I reached her just as she opened the door and tried to flirtatiously lean against it. "Heeeeey!" she purred.
I dropped my head at my friends embarrassing greeting. When I looked back up I saw Austin looking frightened till his eyes brushed passed Trish and landed on me.
He face changed slightly he still looked quite frightened but now he added a "what the hell is she doing" look. I giggled slightly then shrugged my shoulders and mouthed back "I don't know."
He instantly broke into the smile I had witnessed on our first date. The one that didn't look blown up or forced the one that looked like he was genuinely enjoying himself.
He politely turned his attention back to Trish who was still to star struck to even notice our secret conversation. "Hi Trish it's nice to see you again." He said charmingly.
Trish giggled and tugged on her cheetah print skirt. "It's great for you to be joining us. My friend Dez Worthy is in the limo waiting." Austin started but Trish interrupted him at the word limo.
"We're going in A LIMO!" Trish screamed and sprinted away from us to the sleek black limo. I walked out the door and stood in front of Austin and gave a small smile. "Sorry about her." I apologized.
"It's fine. I'm used to it by now." He said shrugging like it was no deal. We headed toward the limo and that's when the reality struck me. There was limo out on the street. Why would they have gotten a limo if we weren't going somewhere extremely fancy?
What if Trish was right and we were going to a ball? If that was the case I hardly doubt my brown skirt and red shirt were the right things to wear. I nervously asked him where we were going when we were both seated in the leather seats. "
We're going to see a movie in a local theater around here." I felt the knot in my stomach loosen. We were just seeing a movie. "Isn't a limo a little much for the movies?" I asked checking out the sweet features to the limo.
Austin looked around then looked back to me. "Sorry force of habitat I guess." He said while laughing. "So what movie are we seeing?" Trish asked while scooting closer to Dez. He didn't seem to notice as he answered her question.
"It's actually a movie I directed. It's called Zombie Holiday." He said smiling proudly. My stomach churned though and I felt the knot reappear in my stomach. "Oh I've seen a trailer for that movie! Isn't it were a bunch of zombies come to life and start devouring the human population?"
The knot in my stomach got even tighter. Trish noticed the distress on my face and smirked. "Oh boy Austin I feel sorry for you. You're in for a heck of a night." She said still grinning. "Why?" Austin said looking confused.
"Well you see Ally here hates horror movies. She gets so freaked out that she literally screams anytime something happens not to mention guts or blood she'll either puke or faint. I feel sorry for you." She said enjoying every moment of my torture.
Yes it was true I was a total scardey cat when it came to horror movies. I couldn't stand them who likes to get scared for fun? As for bloods and guts no duh they make me nauseous it's disgusting!
Oh I knew this date was a bad idea. Austin turned to me concern in his face. "We can ditch the movie if you want." He said like it was no big deal. I considered it. No I couldn't just have us miss the movie because I was afraid.
"No I'll be fine. It's just a movie. Heh." I said trying to sound confident in myself. Trish smirked yet again and leaned toward Austin. "I hope you weren't planning on watching the movie." She said with an evil smile. "Because you probably won't make it through the opening credits." She added then began to laugh at her own stupid comment till I silenced her with a death glare.
After that everything became muted to me. Trish went on talking and the boys went on adding little comments but I wasn't paying attention. I was trying to mentally prepare myself for the horror movie. I had to make it through this movie.
After Trish's words I had to prove her wrong. I could not run out of the theaters like all those other times. I especially couldn't in front of two celebrities. I just to be brave and stick it through. I mean the movie was about zombies. Zombies are probably the lamest monster ever.
I mean all they do is walk around all slow and eat human flesh and…." I didn't get to finish freaking myself out because we had arrived at the movie theater.
Austin was smart and ordered the chauffeur to head around back. When he parked Austin and Dez quickly threw on some black hoodies to try and not attract attention. Luckily we made it inside unnoticed me and Trish went to get tickets while they stood awkwardly in the corner chit chatting.
We grabbed the tickets and went to grab our seats. My stomach was already twisting into hard knots, but I had to make it through. We all took our seats me next to Austin, Austin next to Dez and Dez next to Trish.
I held my breath as the movie began. I saw Austin and Dez do some kind of weird knuckle punch thing as Dez's name came on during the opening credits. "This is it. I can do this it's not so bad. I can do this." I reassured myself confidently.
That confidence lasted about ten minutes into the movie. That's when things got bloody and gory and….ugh and this was just the beginning. Dez was an amazing director the movie was full of suspense action and of pop outs from creepy zombies.
I tried to stay strong but another five minutes I brought my hand to cover my mouth to keep me from screaming. Ugh it just kept getting worse and worse. I flinched every time a new zombie came made a move to the characters that were soon to be devoured.
Austin who had been glancing my way every once in a while suddenly saw my concealed terror though it probably wasn't that concealed. He leaned over and whispered. "If you want we can leave it won't." He tried but I cut him off turning to him. "No, no really I'm fine after all it's just a movie." I said trying to give him a smile.
I turned back to the movie just as a decomposed yellowed eyed zombie burst on screen showing its disgusting brown teeth. It startled me so much a let out a high pitch squeal and grabbed the closest thing to me.
Austin. I grabbed his shoulders and buried my head in his chest trying to escape the horrible monster. Wait was I clinging to Austin? Oh gosh I was.
I felt an insanely large blush take over my face. I slowly began to try and recoil nonchalantly like I wasn't even there when I realized it was a terrible time. Two zombies were now…..ugh you don't want to know. Well it was enough to send me back burrowing.
I didn't care I'd be terribly embarrassed later right now I wasn't going to budge for a while. I just hope Austin didn't mind. I felt his body tense and his arms drifting uneasily. "Austin I'm sorry." I began but he interrupted.
"I..It's fine Ally." He said sounding kind of nervous but I felt him loosen up slightly and felt his arms graze my back. After about five minutes though I felt ridiculous and gathered up my courage and pulled away from Austin forcing myself to watch the movie.
"Ally you don't have to watch the movie if you don't want to." He said putting a hand on my resting arm. I had to resist the urge to jerk back at his warm touch. "No I'll be fine." I said hoping I sounded more confident then I felt.
I shifted my gaze back to the gruesome monsters still eating. I'd been watching for about ten minutes and was quite proud I wasn't so scared anymore. However I faced a new problem. Before I was just focusing on the chilling zombies not paying attention to all the gore.
Now a new feeling overwhelmed me sickness. I felt woozy watching as the zombies feasted. I felt my face pale and my stomach feel heavy. Austin gave me another glimpse.
I must've looked as sick as I felt because he grabbed my arm and pulled me up as he stood. We headed for the exit him leading still grasping my arm. I was going to object but my stomach still didn't feel good and continuing to watch this movie probably wouldn't help.
Heck if we had stayed Austin's sneakers probably would've been ruined. We entered into the front entrance and the light stung my unadjusted eyes. Austin quickly found benches for us to sit down on.
We both sat in silence till finally my stomach felt at ease. I broke the silence "Thanks Austin I'm sorry I made you miss the movie." I said giving an apologetic smile.
"It's no problem Dez has been telling me about the movie for months. I pretty much knew what was going to happen anyway." He said then checked his watched. "Well we have an hour and half till the movies done and Trish and Dez realize were gone.
Dez most have been to focused watching his own movie and Trish most have been to focused on watching Dez they didn't notice us leaving. "What do you want to do?" he asked. My first thought was eat.
Now that my stomach was calm I realized how hungry I was. My stomach growled fiercely and loud enough for Austin to hear. He chuckled then looked at me. "How about we go get something to eat?" he asked. "What about Trish and Dez?" I thought out loud.
"They're enjoying the movie. We'll leave now and then send the limo back later." He said while getting up. I followed and we strolled out the door. Not before I heard a girl say to her friends. "Does that guy kinda look like Austin Moon?"
Before they realized that it was the actual Austin Moon we were out the door and already in the limo. Now all that was left to do was decide where to eat. "So where are we eating?" I asked eagerly my stomach growling again. "Wherever you want." He said coolly. "Really?" I asked getting excited because I had a particular spot in mind.
"Well Dez and I had reservations at a really fancy French restaurant but By Now I've realized you're probably not that kind of girl." He said giving me a smile and his shoulders a shrug. At least he was right I wasn't the kind of girl who liked eating at fancy places.
I mean every once in a while was nice but I definitely didn't want to eat a fancy meal every date. I liked Austin's expression when he said I wasn't that kind of girl. So I couldn't help but tease him. "Me not being that kind of girl most be hard for you." I said smiling smugly leaning off my seat towards him slightly. Austin then did something surprising.
He leaned forward too closing all distance between us and he whispered in my ear. "You have no idea." His breathe tickled my ear and sent chills down my back. I reclined back into my seat and so did he. "S..So I..I Know where I want to eat."
I said stuttering in some parts still shocked from his closeness and words. "Where?" He asked in a totally even tone. He sounded and acted like nothing had happened. I decided some way somehow I'd get him back for him doing that to me.
I'd just have to wait for the right moment. "It's a place called Paul's Burgers. It's in town." I said smiling happy at my choice. Austin told the driver were to go. Soon we were there and ordering from their selection of burgers, fries and sodas. We sat down and it was just nice.
I actually forgot that I was eating dinner with Austin Moon the celebrity and realized I was eating dinner with Austin Moon a regular teenage guy. I think Austin forgot himself too because for the first time I felt like he wasn't hiding anything.
So we ate and talked and laughed then left feeling happy and full. Since we had to send the limo back to get Trish and Dez we had to walk. Which wasn't a problem since we were near my house. We walked in silence and in darkness both of us unusually comfortable.
We made it to my front porch and I was reminded of the last time we were here last time. Austin interrupted my thoughts. "So are we together or what?" he asked somewhat shyly. Throughout the day this was the question I was dreading.
At first I was afraid because I didn't know how to tell him I didn't want to date him. Now however I didn't know what to say. I felt so conflicted there were pros and cons to being with him but wasn't there always?
I tried to decide in my head but Austin spoke up again. "Ally why are you so scared?" He asked looking disappointed. I felt myself get defensive at his words. "It's complicated." I told him. "It doesn't have to be Ally. I'm just a guy and you're just a girl. If we like each other than what's stopping us from dating?" He asked seriously looking me in the eye
. I considered it for second and realized he was right. What was stopping us? I took a deep breathe then looked him back in his eye. "Alright I guess I'm…..your girlfriend." I said hesitantly my cheeks heating up. Austin smiled an adorable grin then leaned in towards me.
"Perfect." I thought mischievously. I smirked at his closed eyes and put up two fingers to stop his mouth inches from mine. When his lips hit them he opened his eyes and gave me a confused look. I responded still with a smirk as I said. "You might want to take it easy on the lips though." I said smiling triumphantly repaying him for what happened in the limo.
He pulled back looking slightly embarrassed but still tried to seem cool. I know I had gotten him though. "Well I guess I'll see you then." He said nodding awkwardly. "Yeah I guess you will." I said playing with him some more before I walked inside laughing silently to myself.
