Chapter 10
Ally's POV
I couldn't help but stare as Austin swum about the crystal water, his muscles rippling with every strong, firm stroke. He completed ten laps before exiting the glimmering water, beads of water droplets sliding gracefully down his honeyed skin and the sexy indentations and smooth ridges of his sculpted torso.
I kinda wanted to knead my palms on his pectorals, rake my fingernails down his abdominals and lick his pink nipples erotically.
I blushed profusely at my sensual thoughts before looking away ensuring that he didn't catch my gaze.
We continued to frolic beside the pool, occasionally taking brief dips in the biting water that felt immensely refreshing on my heated skin. Although I often caught my cappuccino orbs lingering on Austin, entranced by the way his skin and hair shimmered in the radiant beam of the sun.
Twilight had creeped around, orange and pink painting the sky as stars blossomed amongst the colourful backdrop. We all meandered inside, Aiden having awoken as Austin tipped him into the pool. I admit that I depicted no mercy for my brother.
I had observed the effect my teasing had on Austin with a sufficient amount of amusement. I could hardly believe it. I was, at least, certain that he did posses some attraction for me. However, I was now in firm belief if was only lust. And that broke my heart.
"Ally. I promise you. Austin feels much more for you than just physical attraction." Trish argued.
We had been debating this once we had returned to my bedroom. Aiden and Austin were downstairs... Cooking. Our Dad wouldn't be home for the night, he had a convention up north. And so, Aiden deemed it prudent he cooked for the first time in his life and had Austin agree begrudgingly. I was just thrilled that I didn't have to cook, so as long as the structure of the house remained intact I cared not for what they cooked.
"Well how come he's only paying attention to me now Trish?" I rebutted. I had immensely enjoyed teasing him, but a fragment of me didn't want Austin to notice me this way.
"Ally. Ask yourself. Does it feel natural? When your a whisker away from him and playful teasing him?" She questioned, her eyebrow arced inquisitively.
I nodded, gazing down at the suddenly fascinating midnight blue quilt. She was correct of course. Everything that engaged between us a few short hours ago felt so unbelievably right.
"There you go." Trish enthused and I looked up and noticed her encouraging expression. "So. You ready for what I have planned next?" She asked mischievously, waggling her eyebrows saucily. I grinned at her, suddenly anticipating her next idea.
"Okay. Well. You may not like this. But I honestly think this will have him eating out of the palms of your hands." Trish continued, although her features reflected anxiousness. I instantly became nervous.
"What is it Trish?" I questioned suspiciously, arcing my eyebrow.
"Well. I was thinking. That we could have Austin hear you sing." Trish suggested shyly, glancing at me in equal parts curiosity and tentativeness.
"What? No way Trish. You know I hate singing in front of anyone." I cried, refusing the idea instantly.
"But Alllyyyyy." Trish whined petulantly. "You have an amazing voice. Seriously." She assured at my doubtful glance. "Ally. I'm telling you the honest to God truth when I say that you have the best voice I've ever heard. And I've heard myself sing." She replied sassily, a grin quirking her lips as the amusement became prominent on her latin features.
I giggled little at her admission before suddenly becoming serious yet again.
"I don't know Trish." I spoke in a whisper, my anxiety clear in my tentative voice. Trish features smoothed, the light creases on her forehead gliding elegantly away as the contours of her face displayed sympathy. I couldn't continue to gaze at her, so I allowed my chocolate orbs to drop to the fabric I currently sat on.
"Ally. Trust me." Trish spoke, a clarity to her voice that sung with sincerity. She placed a hand on my shoulder in an offering of comfort. My gaze landed back on hers and the assurance in the depths of her dark irises had me nodding my head as I agreed, although reluctantly, to proceed with the plan.
Trish squealed, her hand slipping from my shoulder in order to clap her hands together and bounce slightly in excitement.
"Okay. Be certain you have a song prepared, because this is the plan." The fiery Latina screeched before leaning in to inform me of our plan in hushed whispers.
Austin's POV
The gentle chiming of the doorbell fluttered through the hallway and our heads turned sharply to face the location of where the sound had generated.
"That'll be the pizza." Aiden decleraled in a frantic whisper. "You go upstairs and inform them that diner is ready whilst I prepare the rest. Okay?"
I nodded my reply before slinking upstairs, unsure of where precisely Ally and Trish were currently located.
Our attempt at cooking hadn't gone to plan. In other words... The pasta was black as night and more solid than a brick. On top of that the intended accompaniment of tomato sauce appeared to contain some mysterious creature lurking in the depths of the liquid. And so, Aiden had suggested we order pizza, plagiarise it as our own and the girls would be none the wiser. I wasn't entirely certain of the flawlessness of our plan however I wanted to impress Ally.
Deciding that her bedroom would be the most prime place to search for Ally and Trish's presence, I made for her door that I had grown to recognise. As I matured her father had made it clear that I wouldn't be allowed in here without accompaniment. I had never dwelled on it much for a couple of years. Until, of course, certain dreams crept into my slumber. I had been receiving these dreams much more frequently in the past week. It seemed my brain vowed to make up for the little I had seen of her.
I tapped lightly on the door and gently pushed the door open at the feminine reply granting me entrance. The door swung on it's hinges revealing Trish flipping nonchalantly through some mindless fashion magazine.
"Oh. Hey Trish. Uhhh... Where's Ally?" Bemused at the brunettes beauty's absence.
"Why do you wanna know?" Trish snapped coldly. However a glint of curiosity and possibly amusement flickered in her dark irises. "It's not like you care." Her voice was that of pure ice.
I knew the reasoning behind her hostility. I had been avoiding Ally all week and it was made obvious through Trish's icy demeanour that Ally had spoken with her about it. Instantaneously, I felt my heart slip further into the clutches of pain, wrenching torturously on my muscle.
"Um. I came to tell the two of you that food is ready." I replied, a little uncertain due to the glare I was receiving.
"She's in the music room." She replied bluntly before storming past me and down the stairs, out of sight.
I sighed and hung my head heavily.
'Fuck! I had really messed up.'
I turned and headed out of Ally's room and into the hallway. I took no more than three steps when the most beautiful sound greeted my ears. The melodic waves radiating from a piano vibrated harmoniously in a passionate dance in the surrounding air. Hypnotised by the tune, I followed it's origin, coming to an abrupt halt outside a closed door. I gently pressed down on the gleaming golden handle, silently pushing the door open, watching as the wooden object oscillated stealthily on it's hinges.
What greeted my vision was, without a doubt, the most beautiful sight I had ever seen in the eighteen years I had existed on the Earth.
Ally Dawson, the love of my life, was seated on a sleek, ebony piano bench, the aforementioned instrument before her. Her hands danced gracefully across the keys with an elegance that left me both awestruck and breathless. My gaze drifted towards her facial features and my heart melted at the sight of the most beautiful creature I had ever laid eyes on. Her eyes closed, the delicate contours of her face serene but there was a passionate pleasure as her eyelids flickered briefly, clamping shut and her teeth digging gently into her ravishing lower lip.
I was utterly entranced, and as the dusk sun reflected in ethereal beauty from the shimmering surface of the piano and onto Ally's angelic face I couldn't remove my gaze from her.
Of course, I knew of Ally's passion for music, it was one of the few greatest things we share a likeness in. However, I had never heard Ally play, and never, not even in my wildest fantasy's could I have prepared myself for the perfectness and passion she played with.
'I'm the girl in the corner of the room,'
'The one you never notice,'
'Getting lost among the stars in the sky,'
'Like a picture out of focus.'
Her voice... It was indescribable. The way it rippled with the weight of emotion. The vibrations that originated from her mouth with grace to echo enchantingly around our vicinity. It was a voice unlike any I had ever heard before.
I didn't think it was possible to fall in love with her any more than I already am.
'I'm the sun in your eyes,'
'Yet you don't see me,'
'I wear no disguise,'
'But you don't see me,'
'I'm a total surprise,'
'And you don't see me,'
'I'm so agonised,'
'That you don't see me,'
'You don't see me.'
She completed her magnificent masterpiece, the final melody of the song drifting into silence, the last note reverberating in my ears.
'God she's perfect... and I'm her fool.'
"I know your standing there Austin?" I jumped at her sudden admission, gazing intently at her as she turned to gaze at me. Her captivating cappuccino orbs flickered with amusement, tentativeness and... guarded. A fragment of my heart dying upon realising it was me that had caused her distrust. My own husky hazel irises reflected guilt.
"S-Sorry. I was just gonna tell you that food is ready..." I trailed off, walking cautiously, tentatively into the room to stand beside the piano bench. "That was... amazing Ally." I spoke, breathless before hesitating, watching as a sad smile adorned her captivating contours. I sat beside her, the hair on my arms rising as goosebumps rose at the lingering and gentle brush of her silken skin against mine. "How come your not more public about it Ally?" I questioned, equal parts curiosity and sadness shaping the emotion in my voice.
"Thanks Austin. But I'm really not even remotely close to satisfactory, let alone amazing." She sighed, avoiding my gaze and my last question.
"Are you kidding me." I rebutted, protesting profusely. "Ally your voice it's... it's indescribably. No bird or orchestra has ever sounded as beautiful as you." I replied sincerely, curling my fingers delicately around her chin and turning her head to face me, our intimate gazes colliding.
She beamed at me, absorbing my words. Until her look of pure delight fluttered from her face and left disbelief marring her features.
"Your just saying that Austin." Ally muttered, turning away from me to gaze at the keys intensely.
"Believe me when I say I'm not." I whispered in fragility and gazed longingly at her. If she had heard me, she ignored the comment and I decided to leave the topic slide for now. But I vowed to understand her tentativeness on the subject.
We sat silently, absorbing the gentle lilt of a blackbirds melody and our heavy breathing. It was neither comfortable nor awkward. But it was our silence, and I was grateful for it.
"Come on. Lets go for diner." I spoke softly, standing up swiftly. I awaited for Ally to stand also before allowing her to walk slightly in front of me, my hand resting gently on the dip of her spine.
Sorry there was no update yesterday. I had this written but I was out late for a family diner.
I hope this chapter didn't disappoint. I was originally planning on more happening in this chapter with Ally teasing him but it was getting longer by the minute so yet again I've split the chapter in half. I really liked this one. We got to see more of a conversation between Ally and Austin. We also saw the hints Ally's guard around Austin and a snippet of Austin sweetness and sincerity which in a few chapters we will be seeing more of. I also have planned more for Austin, Ally and the piano. Nothing dirty. But really sweet. I know you'll live it. But that won't be for a while. A very heated scene next chapter and then after that the jealousy really begins to take it's effect in Austin.
Did anyone else catch the double meaning in 'You Don't See Me?'
