Hello, hello!
I'm actually pretty mad right now. My carpool came late, and now I only got a few hours to study for a big exam tomorrow. Uhghfjbfdjs. On top of that, I also have a presentation in a different class that I barely memorized anything for. So much to do with so little time...
Anyways, things are looking up for Austin and Ally in these chapters... maybe. Guess you'll have to read and find out. :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally or Taylor Swift.
"And then?" Trish asked. Trish's eyes had that fiery blaze in them whenever she got excited over something. Ally was telling Trish about her 'adventure' with Austin the other day.
"And then I bought him ice cream because he begged me to," Ally stated. And then after that, Ally felt blood rush to her cheeks. She tried to cover it up by coughing slightly, turning her head away, but she could tell the blush was still there.
The way Austin ate ice cream like a little kid made Ally melt. He was such an adorable, goofy guy. even when he got a brain freeze, she thought he looked better than ever.
"Oooh! You're blushing," Trish squealed. "What happened after?" Ally didn't hesitate one bit before answering. Mostly because she was still trying to figure out if it was even real.
"He grabbed my hand, and just, held it," she said. Trish squealed again. Ally rolled her eyes.
"Looks like someone really likes you!" Trish said in a sing-song voice. Ally rolled her eyes again.
"How do you know? His hand was cold! Maybe he just wanted someone to warm his hand for him!" Ally protested, though who was she really fighting? Trish just kept squealing so Ally left to her room. Dez was beginning his production tomorrow so Ally was pretty excited.
She wondered what the movie was even about. Maybe about a great singer who wanted to be discovered?
That sounded familiar.
Ally walked into her room and closed the door quietly. She pulled out her songbook from her nightstand drawer and began to read over what she had. Ally frowned and stood up to move the curtains of the window aside to let in some light. She returned back over to her songbook and stared at what she had written down for her song-in-progress.
There I was again tonight
Forcing laughter, faking smiles.
Same old tired lonely place.
Walls of insincerities
Shifting eyes and vacancies
Ally grabbed her pencil wedged between the pages and began to tap the eraser on her chin while thinking back to that night. 'That night' was the whole theme of the song, so she wanted details from it only. She quickly jotted down another line.
Vanished when I saw your face.
Ally nodded. She liked it. It related to how she felt that night. She felt like her brain was going to explode the amount she was thinking, so she flipped to a new page and began to write a diary entry. She blushed just thinking about what to write in her personal journal.
She chewed on the back of the eraser, debating whether or not to include that Dez had accidentally worn a girl's shirt today. Ally was about to erase a line when Trish knocked on the door.
"Ally, someone here wants to see you." Trish stepped aside to reveal Austin. He wore a purple polo shirt with jeans and matching hightops. His wallet chained slapped his thigh as he nervously paced until Trish moved out of the way.
"Hey Ally!" He said brightly. Ally smiled, feeling butterflies.
Trish winked at Ally and left. "I'll let you two talk." As Trish was making her way to the door she mouthed the words 'Tell me everything.'
Ally rolled her eyes at her Latino friend. Austin stumbled into the room after Trish pushed him rather roughly, but jokingly into it. Austin regained his cool before looking at Ally.
"So, hi," he said. Ally nodded her hi to him and quickly put her pencil back in her leather book and closing it. She placed it in the drawer in her nightstand. Ally turned back to Austin.
"Hey Austin," she said. Austin smiled. Ally caught herself staring. The way his smile reached his eyes was breathtaking. He ever had those smile wrinkles around his mouth and all.
How does he manage to look handsome even when he's doing absolutely nothing?
"So I was wondering, if you wanted to go see a movie with me?" Austin asked shyly while looking away. Ally was beginning to drown in his eyes again when her attention snapped to his words immediately.
"What?" She responded a little shocked. Austin frowned.
"I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with me?" His request came out as a question. Austin was becoming more and more unsure of this as the clock ticked on. Ally felt a smile come to her face. Austin mirrored her expression instantly.
Oh, thank god.
"Yes! Yes, of course!" She squeaked. Austin laughed. Ally paused, frowning a little. "Did you just ask me out on a date?" She asked. Austin's smile disappeared for only a second. It reappeared as a smirk.
"If that's what you wanna call it," he said slyly. Austin leaned on the wall, playing his 'cool guy' card. Ally snorted.
"Ditch the cocky ass attitude and maybe I will," she replied, feeling a fire in her words. Austin immediately dropped his arm from where it rested on the wall. He fixed his wrinkled shirt and began to comb his hair out with his hands. Ally stifled a laugh.
"So, when should we go see a movie?" Ally asked. Austin looked up at her. He was busy shinning his shoes.
"If you're not busy right now..." He started. Ally rolled her eyes. She quickly stood up and pushed Austin out the door of her room.
"I'll be ready in fifteen," she said. Austin opened his mouth to say something, but Ally had already slammed the door on him. Austin sighed.
Girls.
...
Austin walked beside Ally as they made their way to the theatre. He walked on the outside of her, blocking the wind when it came. Even though he was still sick, he didn't want Ally to catch anything either.
"Speaking of movies, what's Dez's film going to be about?" Ally suddenly asked. Austin thought for a moment. He actually had no idea.
"I dunno," he stated blankly. "Dez keeps his ideas and film making tactics a secret." Austin said. Ally nodded.
Austin watched as she fiddled with something on the inside of her jacket. He smiled once her realized she was wearing his necklace that he bought for her. Austin tried to cover up his smile by letting his mind and eyes wander around the streets.
"Okay, makes sense," she said. "But what if he hires an actor for the 'mystery role,' and they're playing a tree?" Ally asked. "Surely they'd be mad right?" When Austin hadn't responded Ally continued. "I mean, hasn't he told you anythingabout the film?"
Austin blinked. "I know that Dez is directing it and you're the female lead?" He said. Ally sighed.
"Are you going to be apart of it?" She asked him. Austin thought about it. Dez never came up to him or even offered him anything. Austin shrugged.
"He hasn't said anything to me yet." Just then a breeze ruffled through the streets. Austin stood up straighter and blocked Ally as much as he could from the cold air. Ally finally seemed to notice his doings.
"Austin, a little New York wind never killed anyone," she said. Austin sighed.
"I was just trying to be a gentleman," he said. He saw Ally's cheeks redden.
"I appreciate it Austin but hey, look at that! We're at the theatre." They turned the block and there they were. At the theatre.
Austin was silently glad they were there, he could think of anything else to say to her. He might've just fumbled with his worlds again. They pushed the doors of the theatre open, walking in the butter fused air.
Austin nodded. He let Ally take the lead and order the tickets. They waited in line together, silently okay with the silence.
They were at the front of the line now. Ally ordered ticket's to see some movie Austin had been dying to for forever. Just when she pulled her wallet out, he placed the designated amount on the booth table, slipping the money over.
"Thanks," he said to the sales clerk. He grabbed the tickets as Ally hastily put her wallet back in her small purse. She caught up to him and scowled.
"I was going to pay, Austin!" She piped up. He smiled at her.
"And who's taking who on a date?" Austin asked. "I got you, don't worry." He said.
He saw Ally blush again under her scowl. He smiled to himself.
The classic 'pay for the girl' trick always works.
They made their way into the screening room. They chose to sit near the front. Maybe two or three rows back. Austin settled on a seat beside the last seat in the row. Ally sat to his right, and the empty seat was on his left.
They were watching a not-so new movie; Whiplash. Austin learned that Ally had got tickets to Whiplash because she adored Miles Teller, the lead. Austin rolled his eyes.
It's not that Miles Teller wasn't a great guy or anything. He actually was a really good actor. It was just... do girls have to fan over every guy they find hot? Or movie actor, in this case. He grumbled when Ally showed him the comments and ratings for the movie.
Apparently, Miles Teller is pretty 'hot.'
Whatever that meant.
The room quickly filled with people. Everyone choosing their seats and then talking in hushed tones. Soon, the noise got louder. Austin glanced around. No one had chosen to sit beside him yet. Oh well. More room for him.
Suddenly, the whole room hushed as the movie started. Ally was sitting on the edge of her chair, looking at her phone. When the movie started, she scooted back to lean against the back of her chair. Austin took the opportunity to put his arm on the back of her chair, letting his hand dangle on the other side of her shoulder.
He saw Ally tense up just a little, but then relaxed. He must've imagined it.
Twenty minutes later, he found himself getting more and more into the movie. Incidentally, Miles Teller really is a good actor. Austin watched as the movie played on, getting to more and more into by the second.
Austin felt some weight hit his shoulder. He turned and saw that Ally had leaned in so her head was resting on his shoulder. He felt a small smile dance onto his lips.
They stayed like that for a while.
Austin felt his leg going numb. He shook it out a little. Ally shifted a little, so he could move his leg a little more. He caught a whiff of Ally's hair. It smelled nice.
Like vanilla. Or flowers. Or maybe rainbows.
It was nice.
Austin put his nose into her hair, so he could confirm his rainbow suspicions.
Okay, maybe it didn't smell like rainbows. But it definitely smelled like happiness.
It smelled like Ally.
"Your hair smells really nice, Ally," he murmured softly. He felt Ally sit up, disappointing his warm shoulder.
"Thanks Austin," she smiled at him. Under the dark lights of the theatre he saw her eyes sparkle as she blushed.
He didn't know how long he had been staring at Ally, but they missed a good chunk of the movie when they both looked away at the same time.
Ally returned her position by leaning on his shoulder again. He sighed happily and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to him.
Austin continued to watch the movie with Ally in his arms.
Everything was so perfect.
Austin continued to stare at the top of her head as Ally returned her attention to the movie with lazy eyes. He could feel the breaths she took as her whole body was pressed up against his arm. He relaxed and closed his eyes for a bit.
And cue the aw's! Just kidding. You can aw if you want. :) Looks like Austin's finally got some guts huh? Next chapter might get a little interesting... Just a bit.
Thanks for reading! :)
