Chapter 37:

HEY GUYS! HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER :P

Ally's POV

Thank The Lord. I'm officially not sick anymore! And today is New Years! Tomorrow we will be in a brand new year.. I just can't believe it.

Today were suppose to be going to a sports bar that jimmy recommended us to go to for New Years. We didn't really have anything else planned so we figured we'd go there.

I was laying in bed as Austin was next to me holding onto me as if I were dying.

I don't know how he can have such a strong grip when he's sleeping.

His arms are wrapped around my waist and his legs are over mine. I could feel his slow short breaths on my shoulder. I smiled turning around to face him. He stirred a little bit but then he tightened his grip more and pulled me in closer.

Geez. I'm not a teddy bear! I actually can suffocate.
My hands crept their way into his head and I played with his blonde hair.

A smile appeared on his face. Is he awake? How long has he been awake?

I kept playing with his hair and his smile never faded.

My stomach growled so figured I would go make some breakfast. I tried removing his hands but he tightened his grip even more.

"Really?" I sighed even though I didn't know if he could hear me. I tried again and he scooted me in closer.

"Mmm." He mumbled furrowing his eyebrows.

"Austin I'm hungry." I whined.

"No." He said with his eyes still closed.

"Yes." I laughed attempting again.

"But your so warm." He whined.

"I'll make pancakes?" I suggested as he quickly let me go. I smiled and rolled off the bed. Works every time. I smirked to myself walking to the kitchen.
The house looks different in a good way. It's more... Us.

I've been living with Austin for a few days and I love it. I love this house and I love him. I can't believe he was the one who bought it.

I started breakfast when Austin walked in.

"Thanks a lot." He sighed jumping on the counter.

"What did I do?" I asked as I flipped a pancake.

"I can't sleep without you, I got all cold and then I thought of pancakes and I couldn't go back to sleep." He pouted.

"Awww how sad." I said in a baby voice pretending to show sympathy.

"You know what Dawson." He said picking me up and dropping me on the couch. I still had the spatula in my hand which had pancake batter on it and these were new couches.

"Austin the batter is gonna get on the couch!" I said trying to push him off me.

Instead he got the spatula and put it on the coffee table and pinned my arms over my head.

"Austin!" I said trying to get up but it was no use.

"What's sad now Dawson?" He smirked.

I rolled my eyes and his eyes widened.

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" He said in a fake surprised voice as I smiled.

"Your gonna pay." He smirked as he started to tickle me.

"Austin!" I squirmed as we fell to the floor. Only if I had that much strength when I'm not being tickled...

"The-the- Pa-pancakes are bur-burning!" I laughed as he stopped and looked at me intently. I was under him and I tried catching my breath.

"Did you hear that?" He said looking around and then back to me as I shook my head.

There was a loud scratching noise coming from the garage.

"Okay I definitely heard that." I said as we both stood up.
I grabbed a pillow and Austin broke out laughing.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You- you still use a pillow to defend yourself?" He laughed.

"Shut up." I smiled just then we heard the noise again.

Austin's eyes widened as he got serious and got a baseball bat.

"Stay here." He said.

"No I'm going." I said walking behind him as he turned around.

"Just wait here Alls." He said again.

I sighed and sat down as he walked of with the bat still in his hands.

I went to turn off the stove and put the pancakes I made on a plate.

"Ally!"I heard Austin yell.

I grabbed a pillow and ran to the garage.

"Austin where are... you." I said as I saw him on the floor.

"I think I found the noise." He said as he petted the animal on the floor.

"Aww." I smiled walking in and sitting on the floor.

"What kind of dog is he?" I asked petting it.

"Umm I think a lab like the one in that movie.. Umm." He said scratching his head.

"The sad one where the dog dies." He says trying to think of it.

"Marley and me?" I said flatly.

"Yeah!" He exclaimed.

"But he still looks like a puppy. How did it get in here anyways?" I asked looking around.

"I have no idea." Austin says petting him.

"Awww he's so cute." I smiled.

"I know right! Can we-"

"No!" I said cutting him off.

"But I-"

"No!"

"Just look at-"

"No!"

"Ally!"

"Austin." I sighed.

"Do you really want to send him to the pound." Austin said picking him up and making a sad face.

I sighed and looked at the puppy.

"He's gonna grow up to be bigger than me. They grow pretty big." I sighed.

"Is that a yes?" Austin asked.

"And they slobber.. A lot." I sighed.

"I think that's a yes!" Austin smiled and picking him up as I smiled.

"Come on little guy." Austin said walking inside.

"He won't be little for long." I sighed.

"Ally! Catch him!" Austin said from the other end of the hall.

I literally dived to catch the four legged pup that just hopped out of the bath 5 minutes ago and is now soaking wet and running all over the house.

"Got him!" I smiled.

"No don't!" I exclaimed as he shaked right infront of my face causing soap and water to get all over me.

I heard Austin laughing from the other end of the hall and I glared up at him.

"Your mopping this up!" I hissed.

"Aww!" He pouted picking the pup up and walking back into the bathroom.

"I'm a go take a shower." I said walking upstairs.

"Ooh can I join?" Austin smirked from the downstairs bathroom.

"You have a dog to clean." I laughed walking into the bathroom but I still heard his silent
"Damn" and then a door closing.

Austin's POV

"Done." I sighed as I finished drying the little puppy. I picked him up and took him upstairs.

"Alls?" I knocked on our bedroom door.

I walked in and she was in a towel in our closet. She had a towel on her head and one wrapped around her body.

"Nothing! I have nothing!" She sighed throwing the clothes she had in her hands on the floor.

"Nothing of what?" I asked as I put the puppy on our bed.

"I have nothing to wear tonight." She sighed.

"Ally you have a lot of clothes you'll find some thing." I laughed.

"Okay well I'm a start getting ready." She said taking the towel off her head.

"Okay." I smiled flopping on the bed on my stomach.

"I can watch you change all day." I smirked.

"Nice try blondie." She said shutting the closet door.

"Dammit." I sighed.

"I heard that." Ally yelled.

"You were meant to!" I yelled back laughing.

"Oww." I said as I felt little sharp teeth nibbling my feet.

"Hey little guy." I said picking him up.

"What should we name you?" I said scratching his belly.

"What about this?" Ally said coming out of the closet in a black sparkly dress.

"Perfect." I smiled.

"Really? Are you sure because it was either this or maybe-"

"Ally." I said cutting her off and walking over to her.

"Anything you wear is absolutely perfect." I said sneaking my arms around her waist as she smiled.

She leaned in to kiss me and I kissed back. We moved our way over to the bed without breaking the kiss. I deepened it as she she stifled a moan. I felt her smile against my lips which made me do the same. I reached for her dress zipper and just then the door bell rang.

"Dammit." I sighed getting up as she laughed.

"It's not like we were going any further." She smirked flashing me the promise ring I got her.

"Maybe I shouldn't of gotten you that." I said as she smiled.

"But you still did." She smirked walking downstairs to answer the door.

"Get ready!" I heard call.

I hopped in the shower and thought about what just happened.

If I wouldn't of gotten her the promise ring, would of THAT really happened?

I don't care if it happens today, or in ten years. I want her to know that I really care about her and I really do want to do this right.

Yesterday Dez and I spent the whole day trying to think of ways I should ask Ally.

He came up with a lot of ideas most of them were bad ideas and involved some sort of piano falling which I ignored.

I have some ideas but I'm a go over them with Trish tonight to see what she thinks.
I got dressed in a leather jacket with my signature chains and converse.

I thought about the day that Ally and were on our way to my aunts wedding and a smile appeared on my face at the memory as I tied my converse.

Flashback:

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked her only taking my eyes off the road for a moment.

"I just don't know when its gonna be the next time I see you in a suit. Let me enjoy it." She smiled.

"Shut up." I laughed.

"I'm serious I probably won't see you in a tux until your wedding day!" She laughed.

"Even then what if wear converse!" I exclaimed.

"I wouldn't be surprised!" She laughed.

End of Flashback

It's crazy to think at the time I was dating Cassidy and I didn't have an album out and I was still oblivious to the fact that the girl I loved was right in front of me.

She talked about my wedding day, but now it's gonna be ours and let's face it... I'll probably will wear converse. I went downstairs to see Trish and Dez were already here and they were playing with our nameless pup. We Are all going out to eat and then heading to the club jimmy told us about. We headed out the door as I looked the front door.

"We won't be back until next year! Funny right." Ally laughed as i shook my head laughing at her bad jokes.

"Awwww!" She squealed.

"Shhh!" I said as I looked around to see if Ally came back yet.

"Oh my god! Ally is gonna love it! I have to plan out what the colors are gonna be! and do you think she'll want a mermaid gown or a ballroom gown or what if she goes with-"

"Trish! I don't know! But how about we wait until Ally actually says yes?" I laughed.

"Awww. This is just all too sweet!" She smiled.

"So you think it's a good idea?" I asked again.

"Yeah I'm sure she'll love it." Trish smiled.

"Who will love what?" Ally said coming back from the clubs bathroom.

"Umm that uh." I stuttered trying to think of something.

"That we came up with a name for your new puppy." Trish smiled.

"And I'm sure you'll love it!" She exclaimed.

"Which is?" Ally asked us as Trish walked away with Dez leaving me there.

"Umm." I looked around the place where people were laughing and dancing and waiting for the clock to strike midnight for the brand new year.

I looked over to the DJ and then back to Ally.

"Radio." I said unsurely.

"Radio?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.

"Uh yeah?" I stuttered.

"I love it!" She smiled.

"Really?" I asked surprised.

"Yeah!" She smiled.

"Like the movie of the guy that played football and the thing that music comes from! Where did you come up with that?" She smiled.

"It just came to me." I smiled nervously.

"Come on guys lets dance!" Trish said coming to pull me and Ally into the dance floor.

Trish and Dez had a drink in their hand as I laughed as Ally tried dancing.

She's an amazing songwriter and singer but dancing isn't her strongest point...

The four of us kept dancing and laughing until the very last minute of this year.

Ally's POV

"Everyone gather around!" The DJ said into the mic.
"It is sixty seconds to midnight!" He announced as everyone cheered.

The giant screen next to him showed the countdown and the ball that was about to drop at Time Square in New York City.

Austin went to the bathroom not too long ago and I'm worried that he's gonna miss the countdown.

Trish and Dez were cheering and counting down already as everyone screamed in the building. I looked around for Austin but he was no where to be found.

"Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" They all screamed.

"Happy New Year!" Everyone said as I smiled because I felt my arm being pulled and I was twirled to be face to face to Austin.

He didn't say anything but grabbed my face and full on kissed me on the lips. I smiled and felt my stomach do flips. It's like everyone and the noise died down in the background. It was just Austin and I and it couldn't be anymore perfect.

"Happy New Year." He smiled as we parted.

"Happy New Year." I smiled back to him.

Trish and Dez came and we had our famous Team Austin group hugs as we cheered with the people around us. It truly was an amazing and fun night. I even tried dancing...
Oh god.

Let the year begin.
