Author's Note: Sorry I'm so late! But hey, chapter 14 :D (And of course I don't own A&A)
Finals week was over at last. Lord had mercy and we all survived!
Now, it was the day before our long holidays and some of our university's sororities and fraternities were (collectively) throwing an end-of-the-semester party. Everyone was invited.
Sasha, Trish and I trudged into our coffee shop at the end of our final exam. We were a mess.
Beep.
Sasha checked her phone and opened her eyes, "guys, I totally forgot about Max's party tonight. Are we going to go?"
Trish and I groaned simultaneously.
"Come on guys, it'll be fun. Lots of gorgeous frat boys," she exclaimed.
"I'm so tired. I can't function." Trish whined.
"If I sleep from now to 2065, it'll still be too soon to go to a party," I stated.
"Come on, Collin might be there," Sasha urged while wiggling her eyebrows. Sasha was dying to go to this party because of her good "friend" Max, I could tell as soon as she brought up Collin.
A small smile occurred on my face. Collin was a really nice guy, but we just never seem to move on from the - forgive my inability to find a better term- friendzone. Everything we did, it ended up being from one friend to another friend, quite platonic.
"I don't know Sash," I looked up at her while nipping my bottom lip. She was smiling with bright eyes that bore into your soul if you were to say no to her.
Just then the guys plopped down at our table, they were as energetic as two five year olds after a large slushie.
I was pushed up against the wall of our booth with Sasha right across from me and Austin beside her. He nonchalantly threw his arm around her shoulder. He had a habit of doing that to whoever sat beside him.
"Sash, what happened? Why are you so giddy?" He asked, amused of her current expressions.
"Austin, no one wants to come with me to Max's party," she pouted "-but I was hoping Ally would agree to come."
He raised his eyebrows, he knew I was quite awkward at parties, well considering the time I dropped punch on him. That was one time though. Sheesh.
"Hun, I think you know my answer," I said with a sweet smile on my face, hoping she would forgive me. No one could resist my famous Dawson-innocent-face smile.
She sighed, "fine. Be boring, see if I care."
"But guys, we should celebrate finishing finals week," Trish said.
Sasha regained her smile, and Trish continued before raising the poor girl's hopes.
"-By that I mean, we should do something relaxing, like movie night or something or that sort."
"Yeah, we could watch Zalien movies." Dez exclaimed.
Trish shot him a look, and he began to stutter, "or whatever you want, love."
I began to giggle a bit. They were so cute. Trish always kept Dez in line, and though at times you think Trish is too harsh but in reality she's like a soft lovable teddy bear. Tough to handle whatever life throws her way, but endearing and an amazing girlfriend. That's why her and Dez are a perfect match.
"That's a good idea, we could watch romcoms!" I added.
"Or horror movies," Austin added.
"Not horror movies, please." I whined.
"Is baby Ally afraid of horror movies?" He teased.
I glared.
"We'll decide that later on," Trish said, trying to calm the conflict that was mere seconds away from heightening.
Right now, I was in the local grocery store with my shopping cart. Trish gave me a list of things to buy for our movie night.
"Alright, all I need now is the popcorn, whipped cream, frozen fruit, yogurt and oh boy- this list is long." I sighed and continued.
I reached the frozen foods section looking for the assorted fruits bag when I caught a familiar blond being intimate with a girl our age, or even slightly older. They were by the flower section near the end of the aisle.
Oh god, this is going to be fun. I grinned maliciously.
"Austin baby! What are you doing?! With her?!" I appeared angry, trying to suppress my laughter.
He looked up and seemed a bit dazed but mostly confused.
I placed my hand on my hip, and held the whipped cream can threateningly.
"Whoa," he said holding his hands out in front of him.
"Just because I'm going home for the holidays does not mean you can cheat on me!"
"Ally, listen calm down."
"Wait, you have a girlfriend?" The other dark haired brunette exclaimed.
"Wait Amber!"
The girl stormed off for about five feet until Austin caught up to her. They whispered for two minutes and in the end she kissed his cheek and waved bye, flirtatiously.
I was shocked, genuinely.
Austin walked cockily towards me.
"Nice attempt," he said.
"I have no words, teach me your ways Guru." I bowed mockingly.
"It takes patience and skill, young grasshopper." He said, raising his hand to bless me.
I swatted his hand away, and chuckled, "but seriously, how on earth did you get out of that one?"
"I just said my ex has mental issues and doesn't remember that we broke up a while ago."
"Oh, nice-" I nodded approvingly, "wait, you made me a crazy lady?!" I looked at him incredulously.
He had a coy grin on his face, "it's just temporary."
Ugh, he was definitely a defect piece.
Beep beep
I took my phone out and saw a message from Collin. I sighed and put my phone back into my pocket. How is it that I can't get a single guy, whereas Austin gets new girls practically everyday? Does he have magical powers he didn't tell me about, cause let's face it, he isn't that charming. I mean he's alright. Maybe he can compel people.
Maybe.
Okay, maybe not.
"So Mr. Suave, how is that you get such beautiful women to date?" I asked with curiosity.
We continued walking through the grocery store picking up the bag of fruits and heading towards the yogurt stack.
"A magician never reveals his secrets, young one." He added, cockily.
I glared at him with a bored expression on my face. "Yeah, right."
"But no, seriously how are all these girls attracted to you? I mean you're pretty average" I asked.
That seemed to hurt his ego as he said, "ouch," and gripped his heart.
I chortled, "sorry! I mean you're nice, well at times. Other times you're pretty annoying."
"Lord, now I know why you don't have a boyfriend," he muttered.
"Hey, I heard that!" I said, as I held the whipped cream can threateningly once again.
He smiled, "well, I don't know how I "get" them. I mean I talk to them and - you wouldn't understand." He shook his head.
"No no, go on." I insisted.
"It's hard to explain!"
"Well try it on me, maybe I'll understand it then. Pretend we've never met and try to pick me up like you would to any other girl" I said.
He sighed. He knew I wasn't going to give up that easily.
He took five steps back, breathed, and took five steps towards me. I had my back turned towards him and pretended to shop. I still had to finish the list so while we were doing our little skit, I was on the look out for all the other materials needed.
"Umm, excuse me." He said as he tapped my shoulder.
I turned around and he gave me a fantastic "pearly white" smile. It was blinding.
"Hi, I was wondering where you grabbed those berries from. I absolutely love making milkshakes from them. My mom always used to make them for me when I was young."
"Oh, over there." I smiled and pointed.
"Would you mind showing me?" He asked, with his puppy dog eyes (which seemed less needy than it sounds).
"Sure." I went back and showed him.
"Oh thank you - I didn't quite catch your name?"
"It's Ally," I played.
"Ally, beautiful name. But not as beautiful as its holder."
I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks. Though it was a skit, he was an adorable person when he flirted.
"And scene," I said. I slow clapped and Austin did a small bow.
We finally finished grocery shopping and reached our dorm room.
Everything was set up, there were comforters on this floor and pillows everywhere around our television.
"There you guys are, were you out picking the damn berries." Trish huffed.
"Sorry, we got caught up." I replied with an innocent smile.
"Don't tell me you guys were making out again!" She said.
"What, no!" We both cried out together.
"I have better things to do in life than kiss him," I said nonchalantly.
"Likewise," he shot back.
