I can't believe Austin is here. I missed him so much. But I also know my boyfriend and he's not super affectionate. Sometimes I wish he would be, but that's a different story. The point is Austin is acting weird. We kissed for a bit and said we each said I love you. After that, we sat down to watch a movie together, but instead of watching Austin wanted to cuddle with me and he kept playing with my fingers and running his hands through my hair.

"You're beautiful, Ally" he said cupping my face with his hands. He leaned in for a kiss, but I put my fingers on his lips to stop him.

"Austin, are you ok? This isn't like you."

"I can't kiss my girlfriend?" he smirked.

"Of course you can," I answered. "It's just that you have never been this affectionate with me before. Is something bothering you?"

"No," he answered unconvincingly. "I just want you to know that I love you. I love you Ally."

He's hiding something. I can tell.

"I love you too Austin, but I know something is wrong. I'm your girlfriend, you can talk to me."

He sighed but reluctantly gave in.

"Before I came here, Brady, the director for my video, told me he thinks the video should end with a kiss."

"Oh," I said, my gaze shifting down to the floor, not wanting to look at Austin as he answered my next question, "and who would you be kissing?"

"Shaylie," he said.

Austin had told me about Shaylie. She seemed like a great girl but I can't exactly say I'm happy about her kissing Austin. I mean can you blame me? How would you feel if your love had to kiss another girl? But at the same time, I'm still Austin's partner and I want him to do what's best for his career. And if that means he has to kiss someone else, I guess I will just have to accept that.

"Ok then," I said. "Well it sounds like it's going to be a great video."

"So you're ok with the kiss?" he asked, searching my eyes for any signs of uncertainty.

"Yeah," I lied. "I love you and I know this is your dream, so I want you to do what's best for that. It's not a real kiss, it's just acting."

"Thanks Ally, you're the best. I was so worried you would be upset."

"No, I'm fine with it," I lied again.

"Thanks Als," he said coming to hug me. "You're the best."

I smiled. He pouted.

"Now will you kiss me?"

I giggled and pecked his lips.

Trish and Cassidy were staying at a hotel for the night to give me some more alone time with Austin. Dallas and Dez went back to the tour bus, and Austin was staying with me sleeping on our couch. I didn't sleep at all that night. I kept thinking about the stupid kiss. On one hand, it's just acting. Austin is not technically cheating on me. It shouldn't mean anything and I have no doubt that Austin loves me. He said he did and I know he meant it. And I love him too with all my heart. But on the other hand, my boyfriend is kissing another girl. I just hope he knows how much I love him.

The next morning I got up early to make breakfast. I put on an oversized T-shirt of Austin's and the necklace he gave me before I left for New York. When I was done setting the table I walked over to the couch where Austin was sleeping. He was curled up in a ball, his blonde hair falling over his eyes, hugging my stuffed dolphin, Dougie, to his muscular chest. Aww, he's adorable.

Instead of calling his name, I sit on the edge of the couch, place my hand on his shoulder, and lean down to kiss his lips. He smiles into the kiss and then slowly opens his eyes.

"Hey, beautiful," he smiles up at me.

"Hi Austie," I said, running my fingers through his soft hair. "I made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast, I know they're your favorite."

Austin immediately jumped out of bed, kissed my cheek and ran to his beloved pancakes.

When he finished, I sat down on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck, and started peppering his face with little kisses.

"I love you Austie."

"I love you too Als."

"I want to be with you, Austin, forever."

Austin scratched the back of his neck, something he does when he is nervous or uncomfortable.

"Ally, you made my favorite breakfast, you're wearing my shirt, and now you're on my lap. Does this have anything to do with the kiss in my video?"

"Maybe," I admitted shyly.

"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.

"I don't know," I said. "I guess I just wanted to sound like a supportive partner."

"Als, look at me," I turned to face him. "You can tell me anything, you know that don't you?" I nodded. "If something is bothering you, I want to help make it better. And Shaylie is a great friend, but I don't see her that way at all. I love you Ally, and I always will."

"I love you too," I whispered. "I love you so much and I just want to make sure you know that."

He pulled me close and stroked my hair.

"I do," he whispered as he pulled me in for a passionate kiss.

For the first time since Austin told me about the kiss, I was beginning to feel ok again.
