AUSTIN P.O.V

"That one's beautiful" Ally gestured to a plain, simple silver ring.

"Too plain" I argued. Dez, Ally and I were at the jeweler's picking up something special for Trish. What about that one?" I pointed to a bright gold bracelet.

Ally shook her head.

"Guys check this out" Dez called as we headed behind him. He held a beautiful heart shaped necklace intertwined with crystals in his hands.

"Perfect" Ally breathed as I agreed.

"Only problem's the price" Dez frowned as I looked over at the $200.00 price tag.

"No worries." I picked up the necklace. "I'll pay."

"Austin- I can't-" Dez started as I silenced him.

"Dez you're my best friend. And you love Trish. You've given up a lot for me man, so let me do this for you" I smiled at him as he smiled back at me.

"Thanks man" He entered me into a bone-crushing hug "It means a lot"

"No problem" I hugged him back grinning. From the corner of my eye, I swear I saw Ally smile at me. Seeing my glance, she quickly turned back to admiring the jewelry.

I grabbed the necklace as Dez quickly headed to the bathroom. "I saw that smile, sweet pea" I nudged her as she shot me a meek smile.

"Well Austin, under all that... exterior" She dramatically gestured with her hands "you really are a good person."

"I know right" I popped my collar as she groaned.

"Andddd you just ruined it." She went back to admiring a bracelet on the counter.

"Isn't this pretty?" Her beautiful eyes glowed, as she handed me the light gold necklace, with music notes dancing around the letter 'A.'

"For once I agree," I laughed as she swatted my shoulder.

"My dad got a necklace like this as for my mom as an apology for toilet papering her dorm when he first met her" Ally chuckled along with me.

"Of course she detested him at that time" she continued, "But he claims that was when she started to fall for him."

"My mom always tells me that her dad had to practically beg her to marry him. And that I'd probably have to beg a girl too." Ally chuckled.

"Well the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree" She grinned as I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah yeah" I faked a sweet smile at her as I turned to go pay the cashier.

"Hello" a sweet old man smiled at me from behind the counter.

"How are you sir?" I smiled at him as he chuckled.

"Don't be so formal. Tell me- is this for your girlfriend over there?" He pointed at Ally "Sweet thing." He winked at me as I chuckled.

"Nom this is for my best buddy's girlfriend. We're just friends, well more like acquaintances to tell the truth" I chuckled.

"Ah I see." The old man's eyes carried the same twinkle as Ally's did. "Well there's a half off special just for you son. What do you say? Buy the two necklaces in your hand for a special price?" He gestured to my hands where I noticed I was carrying Ally's necklace and Dez's.

"Well" I pictured the gleam in Ally's eyes. "Okay" I smiled as the cashier rang it up.

"Here you go" He handed me the bag.

"Wait sir, I haven't paid yet!" I took out my wallet as he grinned at me.

"Son, just take it. You just make sure to give that necklace to the pretty girl alright?" The old man's eyes twinkled as I smiled at him.

"Thank you" I replied as Dez came out of the bathroom. The cashier waved us off and winked at Ally as she giggled.

"What was that all about?" Ally caught up behind me as we walked out.

I just smiled, swinging the bag back and forth.
