I woke up cuddled in warm soft blankets. I looked around the unfamiliar setting and realized that I was at Austin's house. I yawned and stretched before getting out of bed. I walked over to the vanity that was tucked into the corner of the room.

I tied my hair up in a bun and smoothed my shirt out. Then I walked downstairs into the kitchen.

Austin was standing at the stove cooking. He must of heard me come down because he turned around and looked at me. That's when I noticed he had a tattoo. The tattoo was of a dragon. It coiled around his stomach and stopped at his shoulder. It looked very realistic and it wasn't at all childish.

"Morning." Austin said me, causing me to rip my eyes away from his stomach and look up at his eyes.

"Good morning. What are you cooking?" I asked as he turned back to the stove. I walked over behind him and tried to look over his shoulder, but failed. He chuckled at my attempt before answering me.

"Eggs and bacon." He said and I nodded my head. Well, it sure as hell smelled good. I went and sat down the the table and pulled out my phone. I unlocked it to see there was a unread text from Cass.

How are you settling in? -Cass

I'm fine. We are eating breakfast. I gtg

-Ally

I set my phone back down and looked up at Austin. He had turned off the stove and was bringing the food to the table. I smiled at him as he put a plate in front of me and gave me a fork.

"Thanks." I said. He smiled at me lightly before sitting down at the table to eat.

"So, do you have a boyfriend?" He asked randomly. I almost spit out my food.

"You're funny. Boys think I'm a virgin Mary and don't want to go anywhere near me." I said. His eyes widened and he chuckled nervously.

"Well that's good." He said and I raised my eyebrows.

"Why is that so good, Mr. Moon?" I asked. He smiled at his nickname before answering me.

"All the boys here are either taken or complete idiots. They party to much and hook up with a bunch of random girls." He said taking a sip of his water. I nodded my head.

"Well damn. I was gonna hook up with some guy." I said and snapped my finger. He raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Not while I'm here you aren't. We are gonna establish one rule right now. No boys except the ones I approve of are allow in this house." He said sternly. I tired not to laugh. I honestly tried, but I could not take him seriously. He was to sweet to be threatening.

"Okay." I said through my chuckles. He gave me a pointed glare and crossed his arms.

"I'm serious, Ally. I promised Cass I would watch over you." He said and I finally stopped laughing. I nodded my head.

"Okay. So what are we doing today?" I asked as we cleared our plates.

"My friends, Trish and Dez, are coming over. It will be good for you to meet some friends." He said and I nodded.

"Okay, well I'm gonna go shower. See ya in a bit." I said. I scurried upstairs and into the bathroom.

"Ally! Open the door!" Austin yelled from upstairs as the doorbell echoed through the house. I got up from the couch and opened the door. There was a short Latina girl and a tall redhead. The Latina wrinkled her nose at me.

"Oh my god, did Austin bring home another girl?" She asked and turned to the redhead. He shrugged his shoulders and then they both looked back at me.

"No, I'm his-" I started but the redhead cut me off. He moved in front of the Latina and leaned against the door frame.

"Well, than can I have your number?" He asked in a deep voice. I raised my eyebrows before the girl pushed him away.

"You're his...?" She prompted.

"I'm his friend, Ally." I said and they both nodded their heads at me. I smiled and waved.

"Ally, what's the hold up?" Austin's voice said from behind me. He came down in a sweatpants and his hair was dripping with water. I smiled at him and gestured to the door.

"Hey Austin." The two chorused from the door as he came to stand behind me.

"Hey guys. Ally, these are Trish and Dez, my best friends, and yours to now." He said and opened the door wider for them to come in. They walked in and sat down on the couch. Austin closed the door and smiled at me before we both went and sat across from Trish and Dez.

"Put on a shirt, dude." Trish said and wrinkled her nose.

"I dont recall this being your house." He said and Trish made a face at him before giving up.

"Oh yea! Ally, I still want your number." Dez said randomly. Austin made a face at him and threw a pillow at him. He caught it easily and set it down next to him.

"Dude, she's to young for you." Austin snapped at him. I turned and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Who said I didn't like older guys? What of I want to give him my number?" I said. He crossed his arms and gave me a stern glare.

"You are not allow to have a boyfriend while you are here." He said and I laughed.

"Don't tell me what to do." I said whilst still laughing.

"Fine but he isn't coming over here." He said then we both turned back to our friends.

"Okay then. So Ally, why are you staying with Austin?" Trish asked awkward silence settled between us.

"My friend left out of town and I don't like being alone, so she arranged for me to stay with Austin." I said and she nodded.

"Scary cat..." Dez muttered and this time it was my turn to throw a pillow at him. This time he didn't catch it and it hit him right in the face.

"Ha!" I said and fist pumped. Dez gave me a look while everyone else was laughing.

"I'll get you back. I'm sure we have a while." He said and I shook my head.

"Okay, well Ally and I are gonna go make cupcakes. What flavor do you guys want?" Trish asked.

"Chocolate!" They both yelled and I laughed. They were such boys. Trish grabbed my hand and pulled me in the big kitchen. She started pulling things out of the cupboard while she was talking.

"How old are you anyways?" She asked as I leaned against the counter and watched her.

"I'm nineteen years old." I said and she turned to look at me. She looked me up and down before turning back to the cupboard.

"Six year age difference. Damn." She muttered.

"Why is that so bad? Its not like we are dating..." I said. She finished putting everything on the counter before looked at me.

"All I'm gonna say is don't try anything with him. He will break your heart. Just like he has with any other girl. I love Austin like a brother, but that boy goes through girls like there's not tomorrow. Don't be surprised if you see a girl walk out of his bedroom while your here. Just hope that girl is not you..." She said and on that note we dropped the subject.

We mixed the cupcakes and put them in the oven. Thirty minutes later the house was filled with the delicious smell of the cupcakes.

"Here you go." I said as I handed a cupcake to Austin. He smiled at me before taking a huge bite of it.

"Its good." He said with his mouth full and I wrinkled my nose.

"Don't talk with your mouth full. Its disgusting." I said and he stuck his tongue out at me. I shook my head at him and sat down on the couch. I propped my legs up on his lap and looked at Dez.

"What?" He asked as he browsed through the movies.

"Are you gonna pick one or do I have to do it for you, slow poke." I said and he pulled out a movie. He turned to show it to us, 'The notebook' it read. I smiled and nodded my head.

He popped the movie in the DVD player and hit play. Trish turned the lights off and we all settled on the couch.

•

By the end of the movie there were tissues, cupcake wrappers, blankets, and pillows thrown everywhere. Trish and Dez were fast asleep and were cuddled up together. I still had my feet propped up on Austin's lap and we were both still awake. He looked at me and he smiled.

"Looks like we are the only two up. Do you wanna go to bed?" He asked. I yawned and nodded. I got up off the couch and walked up the stairs. He followed after me.

"Night." I said and hugged him for a moment then walked down the hall to my room to sleep.
