Hi guys! Sorry that I am only updating the story today. The plan was to upload it yesterday and I wrote until like 1 a.m. last night, but I still had to reread it and I was just to tired and I had school today so yeah...
But anyways thank you guys again for the awesome reviews, follows and favorites...reading them always makes my day :)
Now on with the 10th chapter :) wohooo!
Austin and I enter the music room and luckily no one else is in here. That means Austin will get to play his song.
I walk to the piano and sit down on the piano bench. I put down my backpack and turn myself to Austin.
"So, what are you waiting for?" I say with a big smile.
He chuckles and comes closer to me. "Why are you so eager to hear this song anyway?" He says while putting down his backpack too.
I give him a shy smile. Should I tell him? "Ehm well, I just...I mean..." I sigh." It's just that the song is really good and even by only listening to it, you can feel the emotion. I just want to see it too. I want to know if what you're singing is real or if it's just a song you wrote that has no further meaning." I tell him while looking straight into his eyes. He returns my gaze and frowns.
It's quiet in the room for a few seconds, but strangely it doesn't feel awkward at all. It's weird, but I came to like these moments between Austin and I. I mean a few days ago I couldn't even look him in the eyes and now...I just feel really comfortable around him.
Suddenly my thoughts are interrupted when Austin sits down next to me, turns his body towards the piano and begins to play a familiar melody...
...
It's as amazing and mesmerizing as I remember and as the song continues I can see that he really means what he's singing. It's incredible to see him like this...he looks so vulnerable...
The song is really beautiful. It's one of the most heartfelt ballads I've ever heard and all that love makes my heart ache. Will I ever be able to find love like that?
A few minutes pass and the song ends. Austin sighs and lets his fingers and gaze linger on the piano keys for a while. In the meantime I, still amazed by his incredible performance, keep staring at him.
After a few seconds though, I realize he's not going to say anything, so I decide to speak up.
"What's wrong?" I ask softly and instead of just answering me, he turns his body, but says nothing. He keeps gazing into my eyes and I catch him changing his gaze from my eyes to my lips...after a few seconds he finally speaks.
"You know, no matter how hard I try I just can't seem to figure you out..." He whispers.
"Well, that makes two of us..."I say a bit laughingly.
He sighs and shakes his head. "I'm serious Ally...everything you do, everything you say...I can't seem to wrap my head around it..."
My smile drops and I realize that he's being serious. I make him confused? "Austin I..."
"Wait..." He cuts me off." Just let me get this of my chest..." He says while looking deep into my eyes and I can't help but give in. His look is to intruiging.
He sighs and continues."I don't know how and I certainly don't know why...but I just can't keep myself away from you." He softly says.
I sit there in a little state of shock. I blink a few times but I can't seem to voice out any words. No matter how many things I want to say right now, I just can't. It's like my lips have been glued together. My head is a complete mess and I can't think straight anymore.
I can feel Austin grabbing my hands and I look down at them. That tingling feeling is coursing through me again and I can't help the little smile forming on my lips. This guy is going to be the end of me.
We look up at each other again and we both have this amusing smile on our faces. I shake my head the smile still not leaving my face."You're such a dork."
"Meh, only when I'm around you..." He says while winking at me and he pulls me closer."Besides don't act like you don't like it..." He continues softly.
"Well, who says I am?" I tell him in a serious tone after hesitating a while.
Austin's gaze shifts again from my eyes to my lips and I can see his eyes darkening a bit. My heart begins to beat faster and faster and there is nothing I can do about it. You know, it's really weird that we can go from a playful moment like before to a moment as intense as this. Ugh why do things always have to be so complicated! My head tells me to stop, but something keeps me from pulling away.
"Do you trust me?" Austin suddenly asks.
"What?"
"I said...do you trust me, Ally?" He softly repeats. I look at him a bit confused and I don't really know what to tell him. I mean I feel good and comfortable around him, but it's not like I've known him for a long time and all. I mean, I'm still trying to figure this whole thing out. But there is of course no denying that Austin and I got a lot closer these last few days. He even played me his song and I told him some things that I normally wouldn't tell someone I just met...
I sigh. "...Yes. I trust you Austin."
A small smile creeps on his face when I tell him that and I return it.
"Well, then I guess you wouldn't mind me doing this?" He says while letting go of one of my hands and placing his on my left cheek.
My heart beats even faster and I can feel the heat rising to my cheeks. I take a staggering breath. "I don't."
He caresses my cheek and a small shiver runs down my spine.
Ugh stop it Ally! Keep yourself together for goodness sake!
He brings his other hand to my waist and pulls me even closer. "And this?" He questions.
My breath hitches but I still menage to answer. "It-it doesn't bother me at all..."
He smirks and starts to lean in. "Then I guess you certainly wouldn't mind this..." He whispers and continues to lean in. Out of instinct I close my eyes and judging by the warmth of his breath I know our lips are only a few millimetres apart.
For a few seconds I sit there, waiting on the moment for his lips to touch mine...but it never comes. I can briefly feel his lips brushing against mine, but instead of kissing me he turns his face and plants his soft lips on my temple. I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding and place my hands on his chest.
He brings his head back down and our noses touch. I open my eyes and I meet his again. I can see that his familiar smirk has found a way to his lips again...
I chuckle and push him away from me. He laughs and I roll my eyes. He gets up from the piano bench and picks up his backpack.
I give him a look and he laughs but takes a step closer to me and grabs my hand." Hé, don't be like that. I was just teasing you..."
I roll my eyes and smile."Whatever..."He chuckles and I shove him a bit while passing him to pick up my backpack too. I turn around and we're face to face again.
"So I guess we better get going then. Free period is almost over and I have writing next." I say.
"Okay great. I guess I'll see you later then." He says and gives me a wink.
I shake my head and we make our way out of the classroom. We say our goodbyes and separate ways. I turn some corners and just as I am about to turn another one, my phone vibrates. It's a text. From Austin...
-Hé ehm just to let you know...you'll get that kiss eventually. ;)-
I laugh, shake my head, put my phone away again, readjust my backpack and continue my walk to the next class with a big smile on my face and butterflies flying around in my stomach.
...
Ringgggggg. Well that's the final ring of today I guess...
"Okay so everybody, don't forget the assignment. I want it on my desk first thing tomorrow morning, alright. Now have a nice day and we'll see eachother tomorrow." My English teacher says.
We all groan and pick up our books. In the corner of my eye I see Austin talking to a friend of his. I look his way and our eyes meet. I give him a smile and he returns it. Then I turn around and exit the classroom. It's Wednesday today, so that means that I have a whole afternoon to work on the assignment and just chill. Awesome right!
"Ally!"
I jump when I hear someone scream my name.
"Ally, Ally, Ally, Ally!" Ona yells while running towards me.
I look at her confused, but laugh when a teacher tells her not to run in the hallways. She rolls her eyes and speed walks her way towards me.
"What, what, what, what?" I mock her.
She sighs and grabs my arm. "Ally, now is not the time to mock someone!"
I roll my eyes."Why, what's wrong?"
She give me a shocked look."What's wrong is that we aren't already in the mall shopping for dresses to wear Friday night!"
"What?" I ask confused.
"Oh, don't play dumb Ally. Everybody already knows Austin asked you to the party Elliot's throwing Friday night..."
"What? How?" I ask.
"Ally this is a high school. Word gets around. Anyway, that's not important. What is important though, is that we need to find you a dress, ASAP!"
"Hé I have plenty of dresses in my closet at home, you know. I'll just wear one of those."
"Oh, well okay then. But I want to help you choose! This is your first party here in Miami so it has to be perfect."
I give her a smile and thank her. We both make our way to my locker so I can take out the books I need and then we're on our way to my house.
...
Once we enter my house, Ona immediately runs upstairs. Aunt Linda isn't home yet, so I don't bother walking into the living room.
Once Ona and I are in my bedroom, she immediately begins scanning through my closet. She pulls things out, throws things on my bed...It's a total mess.
"Hé you know if you'll keep going further and further into my closet, you'll end up in Narnia..." I say laughinly.
She turns her head and gives me a stern look."Haha, very funny..." And she steps out of my closet.
"So, I found a few things that you can wear Friday, but girl we really need to go shopping!" She says.
I look at her confused. "Why what's wrong with the things I have now?"
"Oh, nothing's wrong with it. I just want to go shopping once, that's all." She says innocently.
I laugh and get up from my deskchair. "So what should I wear?"
She claps her hands and points to the outfits laying on my bed."Well I was thinking this awesome tight red dress or these nice fitting pants with this navy blue crop top. "
"Hmm, they're both nice. I guess I'll see the night itself you know. We still have time to decide." I tell her honestly.
"Yeah you're right. Anyways I guess I'd better get going then. I'm starving!"
I laugh but I agree. I'm pretty hungry myself. I walk Ona out and we say our goodbyes. She drives away in her blue convertible and just when I want to shut the front door, my aunt arrives. She pulls up our driveway and shuts off the engine.
"Hi Ally!" She says while walking towards me.
"Hi aunt Linda." I say while opening the door again to let her walk inside. Once she's in the house, I turn around and shut the door.
"So, who was your friend?" My aunt asks while we walk into the kitchen.
"Oh, just someone from school. She came to pick out my outfit for Friday night." I say while leaning on the counter.
"Oh...What's Friday night?"
"Uhm a guy from school is throwing a party at his house and I was thinking of going, that's all."
"Oh...okay. I guess that's alright. As long as you'll be careful of course."
I give my aunt a look. "Aunt Linda, you know I'm always careful."
She sighs and shakes her head. "Yeah, I know." She says while walking over to me and giving me a hug. "I'm just trying to protect you, that's all."
I smile and hug her back."I know and I love you for that."
I let her go and put my hand on my stomach."Now can we please start making lunch. If I don't eat something soon, I swear I'll die!"
My aunt begins laughing and I soon join in."Yeah, that's fine. You take the vegetables and I'll do the rest. I'll let you know when it's ready."
I smile at her widely and begin to rummage around in the refrigirator. I put down everything on the counter and give her a kiss. "Thanks aunt Linda. You're the best!"
