Chapter 7: Best Kept Secret
A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a long time. I didn't know if people were still interested in this story, and that's why I didn't continue. Anyways, I'm back, so enjoy.
Austin and I are officially dating now. These pass couple of weeks have been magical. Who knew he would be such a great boyfriend? I've only been seeing him for 2 weeks and he treats me like a queen. We do everything together, even though nobody knows about our relationship.
I admit. It is wrong that we're keeping is from our friends, especially Darcy. We don't want them to think that our relationship will only get in the way with Austin music. As for Darcy, she wouldn't approve of me dating Austin. Reason being, she thinks I'm too good for him and it will never work. I never told anybody that before, because it wasn't important at the time.
Honestly, I think Austin is the prefect guy for me. Sure we're total exact opposites. But Austin and I feel this connection between us, which is hard to explain. He told me that it was really hard for him to keep his feelings from me and I told him it wasn't easy for me either. Now that we're together, it's hard to keep us apart from each other.
"Austin, stop it." I say, giggling.
"Come on Ally. We have been working on this song all morning and afternoon. Can I at least get a kiss from my girlfriend?" Austin asks, poking out his lips.
I sigh, "Okay. You get one kiss and that's it."
"Not if I have this." He says, pulling out a mistletoe. "Now you have no choice to kiss me."
"Is that right?" I smile.
"Hey, there's only one way out of this, and that's kissing the Moon baby."
"I see somebody likes to play dirty." I say, climbing on top of his lap.
"If playing dirty includes me being able to kiss my girlfriend on Christmas Eve, then I say yes."
"Merry Christmas Austin." I say.
"Mm, Merry Christmas to you too Ally." He says, kissing me passionately.
"Whoa!"
"Oh my god Dez!" I yell, fixing myself up.
"What are you doing here?" Austin asks him.
"Did I miss something here or did I just see you two kiss?" Dez asks.
"Uh on." I chuckle. "I –"
"She tripped and fell on my lips." Austin says.
I glance at him blankly.
"Well...okay." Dez says, shrugging his shoulders. "Austin, do you want to go to Tech Town with me? I heard that My Tabs are 70 percent off."
"That's awesome." Austin says.
"What up!"
"Let's go get one then." He says.
"Okay let's go." Dez says.
"Um… Austin. Aren't you forgetting something?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, do you mind if we finish the song another day? I really want a my tab."
I gave a weak smile, "Yeah sure. I'll just being your Christmas present to you tomorrow then."
"Okay. See you tomorrow Ally." He says, kissing me on the cheek.
Later on that evening I walked home by myself. Normally I would take a bus or a cab. But tonight was different. Yes it bothered me that Austin would rather spend his money on a my tab then to buy me and Darcy a Christmas present. Then again it's his money and I don't want to be one of those girls that tell their boyfriend how to spend their money. That's definitely not Ally Dawson.
"Where do you think you're going?" Darcy asks, walking up to me.
"I was walking home." I reply.
"On Christmas Eve?"
"Yeah. Is there a problem with that?"
"No of course not. Where's my brother?"
"He when to Tech Town with Dez."
Darcy eyes widen, "Please tell me that they didn't go there to buy a new My Tab?"
"Oh yeah, they when there alright."
She shakes her head, "I swear they could be such douche bags sometimes."
"Tell me about it. I'm kind of hoping Austin didn't buy the my tab."
Darcy snorts, "Keep hoping, because he's buying it. There goes my Christmas present down the drain."
"Wait, does he always buy your Christmas gift last minute?"
"Please! Of course he does. I'm used to it."
"Why are you roaming around the streets on Christmas Eve?"
"I was bored and Trish is with her boyfriend Trent again. God! I can't stand him."
"I can't stand him either." I say.
"So what's going on with you and Dallas? You haven't been hanging out with him that much lately."
"I've been really busy with helping Austin, and I haven't had much time to hang out with Dallas."
"So I guess there won't be any Dallas and Ally any time soon huh?"
"Nope. I guess not."
"Well this is my house. Make sure you come by tomorrow." Darcy says.
"I will be here, and Merry Christmas."
She smiles, "Merry Christmas to you too Ally."
That next morning I woke up and saw a set of keys on my night stand. So I ran down stairs and hugged my dad.
He laughs, "Merry Christmas sweetie."
"Thank you so much dad. I can't believe you bought me a car."
"You deserve it."
"Where is it?" I ask, in excitement.
"In the garage."
"Thank you, thank you! I love you so much daddy."
"I love you too."
I opened up the garage door and saw my car. It was a 2010 silver Honda civic. This is exactly the car I wanted.
"Why don't you give it a spin?" My father asks.
"I will. But first I want to get dress and take these Christmas presents over to Austin and Darcy house."
"Okay, be careful sweetie."
"I will!" I shout.
A hour later I arrived at Austin's house. It looks like everybody was already up because the lights were on. I parked my car by the sidewalk and knocked on the door.
"You're here." Darcy says, opening the door. "And you brought gifts."
"Yeah, this one is for you." I reply.
"Thank you. I got your present under the tree. Come in." She says.
"Merry Christmas Ally." Mrs. Moon says.
"Merry Christmas Mr. and Mrs. Moon." I say, giving them each gifts.
"AWW Ally you didn't have to get us anything." She says.
"You really didn't Ally, but thank you." Mr. Moon says.
"You're welcome. I hope you guys like them."
"AHH!" Darcy screams.
"Is there something wrong with the gift I gave you Darcy?" I ask.
"No I love it. This is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much Ally." She says, hugging me.
"You're welcome."
"Open you gift." She says.
"Okay." I say, un-wrapping the present Darcy gave me. "It's a BFF bracelet. I never had one of these before."
"Do you like it?"
"Like it? I love it!"
"Good because I also bought me and Trish matching BFF bracelet too."
"Thank you so much Darcy. Where is Austin?"
"He when upstairs. I'm sure he'll be back in a bit."
"Okay."
"Merry Christmas Everybody!" Dez yells, walking inside the house.
"Merry Christmas Dez!" Mr. and Mrs. Moon shout.
"Where's Austin?" Dez asks, looking around.
"He when upstairs to his room. Where my Christmas presents?" Darcy asks.
"Don't worry. I got it right here." he replies, taking it out.
"What did you get me?" she asks, shaking the box.
"Open it up."
Darcy opens up the box and a ring was inside. "Is this what I think it is?"
"Why? It not a ring?" he asks, getting worried.
"No it's a ring alright."
"So do you like?"
"Dezzy poo, I love it." She replies, kissing him.
"Hey Dez." Austin says, running down stairs. He looks over at me and blush. "Hi Ally."
"Hi Austin." I reply. I got you a Christmas present, here."
"Thanks." He says, un-wrapping it. "This is awesome! You got me two tickets to the Bruno Mars in concert."
"You did say you liked Bruno Mars and I do too. So I thought we could go together."
"I would love to go with you to the concert. When is it?"
"In January."
"I can't wait." He says, giving me a hug. "By the way, your gift is under the tree."
"It's is?"
"Yeah." He nods.
I when under the tree and un-wrap the gift Austin got me. When I finally opened it, there was a journal inside. This gift was not what I expected from him, but I loved it. Well…sort of.
"What do you think?" Austin asks.
"I love it! This is just what I needed, another journal. Thank you Austin."
"You're welcome."
"Guess what kid's." Mr. Moon says.
"It's time to sing a Christmas song." Mrs. Moon says, in excitement.
"Mom and dad. Please, no." Darcy says.
"Why not princess? You used to love singing Christmas songs with us." Mr. Moon asks.
"Yeah! When I was like 8." Darcy replies.
"What about you my little prince? Are you going to sing a Christmas song with us?" Mrs. Moon asks.
"I'll think I'll pass mom." Austin replies.
"What is wrong with you kids? You two don't want to do anything with us anymore." Mr. Moon says
"I will love to sing with you guys!" Dez shouts.
"Dez! Please sit down if you know what's good for you." Darcy says.
"AWW Dez. This is why we love you." Mrs. Moon says, pinching his cheeks.
"Ally, come upstairs with me real quick." Austin whispers in my ear.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I have something to show you."
I rolled my eyes, "Alright let's go." I say, walking up the stairs. "What did you want to show me?" I ask, walking inside his room.
"You didn't think that journal was your real Christmas present did you?" he asks.
"It's not?" I ask, confusedly.
Austin shakes his head, "No it's not. I bought your real Christmas present yesterday evening." He says, handing me a jewelry box.
"Austin." I say, looking up at it.
"Open it."
I open the box and inside was a beautiful white gold necklace with a diamond heart attached to it. "AWW Austin, it's beautiful. This is the best gift ever."
"I knew you will love it."
"So you never bought a My Tab?"
"No, are you crazy? You are more important than any My Tab. I'm sorry I cut our day short yesterday."
"It's okay. I forgive you."
"Here, let me help you put it on." Austin says.
"Thank you." I say, holding my hair up.
When Austin finished putting on my necklace, he started to suck gently on my neck and chills ran down my spine.
I moan, "Austin, I don't think this is the place and time for this."
"I know it's not. Can I at least get a kiss before we go back downstairs?"
"Yes you may." I reply, kissing him. Austin was about to lay me down on his bed but then we heard the door.
Knock, knock! "Austin, is Ally in there with you?!" Darcy yells.
"Yes!" Austin replies. He quickly wipes my lip gloss off his lips and gets up from the bed.
"Can you open the door?" she asks.
"Coming." He says, opening his door.
"What are you guys doing her here?" Darcy asks
"Austin was just showing me this new song he was trying to write on his own." I reply.
"Oh cool, can I see it?"
"No! It's not done yet." Austin replies.
"Okay whatever." She says. "Ally, who car is that outside?"
"Oh that's mine. My dad bought it for me." I explain.
"Your dad bought you a car? My dad won't even buy me a bike. He says I have to earn it." Austin says.
"Ally, why don't we give your car a spin and go out for breakfast?" Darcy asks.
"You mean all of us?" I ask.
"Yeah sure. Whateve's." she says.
"Okay, we will meet you downstairs." I say.
"Awesome." She says, running out the door.
"Come on Austin. Let me teach you how to drive a real car." I say, yanking him downstairs.
"I want you to teach me more than just driving." He smirks.
"Ha, ha! Very funny."
