Hi thanks everyone for reading and reviewing!
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally or anything you may recognize.
In the last chapter, everyone gets ice cream. Trish and Dez go for a walk along the beach together while Chris tries to flirt with the ice cream girl, leaving Austin and Ally with only each other for company. Together they sit on the beach eating their ice cream and getting to know each other better. Ally gets ice cream on her face and Austin gets it off for her by kissing her.
Ally's POV:
I sit stunned as I watch Austin's retreating figure. Okay, maybe Trish was right about him liking me. What just happened? I think. I'm confused on what to do now, but the one thing I know is that I want it to happen again. Maybe I have feelings for Austin. My hand reaches up to touch my lips. They still feel tingly from when Austin's lips were there just moments ago and I can't help the smile that stretches it's way on my face.
"Hey Ally," Trish say returning from her walk with Dez.
"Hi," I sigh in a delighted manor.
"Woah, what's up with you?" Trish asks.
"Where's Austin?" Dez asks.
"He ran off somewhere."
"Why?" Dez asks. I shrug in response.
"Oh my gosh!" Trish exclaims, "Something happened with Austin!"
"What? How did you even get that out of anything that I've told you?"
"Well the look on your face and when you sighed all lovestruck, and it explains why Austin ran off. Something happened obviously because he doesn't want to mess things up with you and he thinks he's ruined it and you hate him so he left," Dez explains.
"That doesn't make ANY sense," I deny, " and it most certainly doesn't prove anything happened with Austin."
"It's just boy logic, it's how we think when it comes to girls we like, but are too scared to ask out."
"Whatever," I say standing up, "Are you guys ready to leave?"
Trish and Dez nod. We walk up the beach, towards the parking lot. Trish and Dez go to find Austin, probably to interrogate him, while I search for my brother. I spot Chris and head towards him. What the heck is he doing? He's just standing there. I walk over to him and tap his shoulder.
"Oh, hey Ally," He says.
"Hi, um, the rest of us are leaving, so come on unless you want to walk home."
"Oh, yeah lets go, like right now," He says grabbing my arm and dragging me back to the car, "Come on Ally! You're so slow!"
"Why are you so anxious to leave?" I inquire.
"I just don't want to be left behind, yeah, I'm super tired so I don't want to have to walk home," He says.
"You know I was kidding when I said that right?"
"Haha, yeah of course, I'm not stupid. Hey guys!" He yells as we reach Trish, Dez and Austin.
"You're acting weird. What's wrong?" I ask him.
"Nothing. I'm fine I don't know what your talking about. I'm not acting weird, if anything you're the one that's acting weird."
"Okay? Lets just get in the car," Trish says butting in.
We all pile in and lucky me gets to ride shotgun. This is so awkward. Austin won't even look at me. Well, I guess he has to drive but still, it's awkward. I really need to talk to him. I don't want him thinking he messed things up with me, if anything it's the complete opposite.
"Hey I got a great idea!" Chris says, "How about we all spend the night at Dez's and my's apartment? Doesn't that sound like fun?"
"Um, I guess so," I agree as we pull into the parking lot for Trish's and my's apartment complex.
"Awesome! You and Trish go grab what you need then we'll go get Austin's stuff, so he can stay too. Go time is ticking!"
We finally made it to the apartment around eight thirty and all got ready for bed. We were all pretty wiped out from today. Dez wanted to watch a movie so we put one in. I don't remember what is was because I fell asleep almost the instant I laid down.
Right now, I'm in the kitchen getting a glass of water. I had another nightmare, but i didn't wake up screaming, so no one else is up. I glance at the clock, see it's a little past midnight.
"Ally?" I hear.
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing up?" They say moving towards the light, to reveal Austin.
"I had a bad dream. Not a big deal. What about you?" I ask why is he up?
"I, uh, I couldn't sleep, I was just thinking."
"What were you thinking about?" Now would be the perfect time to tell him how I feel or how I think I feel.
"Oh, nothing really, don't worry about-"
"Were you thinking about earlier, about the kiss?" I interrupt.
He sighs, "Yeah, look I'm really sorry, you just got out of a relationship and-"
I boldly decide to cut him off my gently placing my lips on his. He stiffens, shocked, and honestly I am too. I pull away after a couple of seconds reluctantly.
"Don't be sorry." I pick up my glass of water and drink the rest. I walk over to the sink and put my cup in it. Turning around I see Austin still in the same spot , not really comprehending what I did. I smile.
"Goodnight Austin," I say walking out and pecking him on the cheek. I leave just in time to see a wide smile spread across him mouth.
