After sharing another passionate kiss right there on the piano bench, Austin jumped up and pulled Ally with him.
"If you like all this, wait till you see the bedroom!" Austin lead Ally through the door that was too the left of the kitchen. Austin put his hand over Ally's eyes when she was about to step into the room for dramatic effect. He placed her in the middle of the room and slowly removed his hand. For the second time that day, Ally's mouth fell open.
The room was huge. Against one wall was a giant fireplace with a long ottoman rested in front of it. One wall was made of glass like the previous room. Ally could see that the bedroom had its own balcony. When Ally's eyes fell on the plushest looking bed she had ever seen in her life, she couldn't resist herself. She launched onto the bed, melting into the white comforter. Austin fell into place next to her, his body making a faint pshh sound as he was absorbed into the bed.
"So do you like it?" Austin asked, laughing.
Ally took in a deep breath and closed her eyes. "I love it." Then she thought for a minute and couldn't help but giggle. "Austin, is this the only bedroom?"
Austin propped up on his elbow and blushed. "Well… yes. I was thinking that it would be ok if- well- I could sleep on the couch if you wanted me to." Austin was clearly embarrassed.
Ally giggled and turned over to face him. "It's fine, Austin. I was just giving you a hard time." Ally's giggles subsided and she said quietly, "I actually think it would be really nice to sleep in your arms."
Austin smiled and rolled over above Ally, bracing himself with his arms. He leaned down and connected their lips. Fireworks exploded in Ally's stomach like they did every time they kissed. Austin pulled away and just stared at Ally for a moment. Without warning he took one hand and began tickling Ally's side. She immediately curled into a ball, trying to block his tickle attacks.
"AUSTIN!" she managed to yell between laughs. Austin didn't ease up as Ally flailed around. Ally finally managed to sit up and pounced onto Austin, sitting on his waist. She began tickling his sides as he squirmed beneath her.
"STOP IT!" Austin screeched. Ally smiled devilishly and began tickling his neck. Austin gasped for air as he squealed.
"HAVE YOU NO MERCY?!" He screamed, tears running down his face from laughing so hard. He finally got his arms unpinned from Ally's legs and pushed her off of him. She flipped onto the other side of the bed and Austin moved to pin her down, but she held her hands out in front of him.
"UNCLE!" She shrieked. Austin stopped for a moment, pretending to ponder whether or not to let up.
"Hmmm." He put his finger on his chin, looking deep in thought. Then he suddenly pounced and pinned Ally's arms down. "You're not getting out of this that easily, Dawson!"
-A&A-
A round of intense tickle wars later, Austin and Ally laid side by side on the bed, exhausted. Austin was fiddling with Ally's hands as she laid back with her eyes closed.
"As nice as this is," Austin said breaking the comfortable silence, "we should probably go get our stuff."
Ally groaned and begrudgingly rose from the bed. She took Austin's hand and they exited their apartment. Since Ally was blindfolded when they went down the hallway the first time, she took everything in. Their apartment was at the end of the hallway. There was a door to the right and a door to the left, meaning there was only three apartments on the floor. Ally was impressed, as her apartment had been among the fifteen located on one floor.
When they got in the elevator (which was very luxurious, unlike the one at her old apartment), Ally saw that they truly did live in a penthouse. They were on the twenty-second floor, which was the top floor. Austin squeezed Ally's hand and smiled at her as they descended. The elevator opened up into a nice lobby area, complete with a front desk and seating area. There was a security guard standing by the door, who nodded at the couple as they passed by.
Austin unlocked his car and took in all their belongings. Ally and Austin's things combined was too much for the both of them to carry.
"I'm going to go see if they have a cart or something," Austin said, already heading towards the building. Ally sat on the bumper of the car and pulled at her phone, seeing that she had a text from Trish.
Ally where the heck are you?! I went to your apartment and all your stuff was gone! If you don't text back in ten minutes I'm going to assume you've been kidnapped.
Ally smiled and shook her head. She quickly wrote out her reply.
Don't worry I'm fine. Long story short I live with Austin now. I'll call you later, I promise!
As Ally sent the text, her head whipped up when she heard a rustling in the bushes to her left. Ally stared at the spot for a few moments before Austin came back to the car, pushing a luggage cart similar to those at hotels.
Ally shook off the odd feeling of being watched and helped Austin gather everything. As Austin put the last box onto the cart and closed the car door, he turned to Ally and wrapped his arms around her, smiling widely.
"That's everything. It feels so official now." Ally grinned up at him.
"It feels nice." Ally agreed. Austin gave her a quick kiss and started pushing the cart to the building. Ally trailed along, glancing over her shoulders at the bushes.
-A&A-
Austin and Ally were spread out on the couch after spending a few hours unpacking. It was then nearly 8:00. They both started nodding off while watching some sitcom. They were jolted awake by the loud intro to a gossip TV show. Ally shook the sleep out of her head and reached over to change the channel, but paused as Wendy Willis appeared with the headline: AUSTIN MOON GETS SERIOUS.
Ally reached over and shook Austin, who had begun nodding off again.
"Hmmm?" He moaned groggily.
"It's about you," Ally muttered, pointing at the screen which displayed a picture of Austin. Wendy Willis finished waving to her studio audience and sat down.
"Well hello, everybody!" she started with fake enthusiasm. "Our first story tonight is about super star Austin Moon. Just the other night he was on my show talking about a mystery girl." It cuts to a clip of Austin's interview when he was talking about Ally. "And thanks to some inside sources, we now know who this girl is!" A picture of the couple in the parking lot flashed onto the screen. Austin had his arms wrapped around Ally and they were grinning at each other. "By the looks of it, Austin seems to be back on with Ally Dawson! We haven't seen them together in five years, but it looks like their moving in together! All we can do is wonder: When did this happen and how long will it last? We caught Ally alone smiling at her phone." It flashed to a picture of Ally reading Trish's text. "Could she be seeing someone behind Austin's back? As soon as we know, we'll report back to you! Goodnight everybody!"
Austin clicked off the TV. They sat in silence for a moment, staring at the blank screen.
"They found us," Austin said blankly. "As far as they knew, I was still in Vegas, but they found us."
Ally bit her lip. "I should have known something was wrong when we were standing out there. I thought I heard something in the bushes."
Austin tipped his head back and stared at the ceiling. "I was hoping the paparazzi wouldn't find us and we'd be left alone. I didn't want anyone to find out about us until we told them. I'm sorry, Ally."
Ally gave him a reassuring smile. "It's ok. I mean I don't exactly like the whole 'paparazzi hiding in our bushes' thing but you can't help it. After all you are an international superstar." Ally leaned over and poked Austin in the ribs, getting him to smile.
"I'm exhausted," Austin said, yawning. "I think we should get to sleep."
Ally nodded and yawned too. "Agreed."
-A&A-
When Ally awoke, Austin was nowhere to be seen. She slowly eased out of bed, her body sore from the heavy lifting of unpacking. She opened their bedroom door to find Austin sitting at the kitchen table with his back to her. He was on the phone and he was clearly fed up. He kept running his hand through his hair and laying his head on the table.
Ally stood in the doorway and watched him. Finally he hung up and set the phone down on the table. He ran his hands through his hair and rested his head in his hands, gazing out the window.
"Is everything alright?" Ally said, making Austin jump.
"Oh hey, Ally. Good morning." He got up and gave Ally a quick peck on the lips. Ally sat down across from him and looked at him expectantly. He took a deep breath and looked out the window, then back at Ally. "Everything's fine. My label's just not particularly happy that I didn't tell them that I have a girlfriend or decided to love in Miami. I think they're just upset that the media knew before they did. They're moving the whole company from LA to here to make things easier for me." Austin laughed softly. "Things are starting to look up."
Ally smiled and took Austin's hands. "I'm so happy for you Austin. You seem so much happier from when I first saw you again."
"It's because I have you." Ally blushed and looked down at their hands. Austin abruptly stood up and headed towards their bedroom.
"Get dressed Ally, we have a big day ahead of us!" he called back. Ally got up and followed him into the bedroom.
"What are we doing?" she asked as Austin walked into their closet. Austin peeked his head out from behind the door and with wild eyes said:
"Surprise is the greatest gift life can give us, my dear."
-A&A-
Hey guys! I really wanted to get a chapter out today to keep on track with posting every day, so I stayed up late just for you guys. I really don't know how long to make this story. It's not all that eventful and all I can think about when I write is: IT'S SO FLUFFY. It's just all fluff, but sometimes I like some good fluff so… yeah.
In the last chapter one of you asked what their apartment looks like, so I put a link in my profile if you want to check it out. (I think you asked if it looks like the apartment from Jessie so the answer is kind of because it's not two story and it's more… simpler I guess) :)
Please, please, please review it means the world to me!
I own nothing.
