Hi Everyone! First of all THANK YOU ALL SOOOOO MUCH! I got 22 reviews, 16 favs and 27 follows, you guys are AWESOME! I never imagined that for a first chapter so thank you all! Your all really encouraging and I wanted to update sooner, so here is chapter 2. Enjoy!
"Triiiiiiiish, why are you doing this to me?" I whined childishly and collapsed onto the bed. I was going on my second blind date in about 45 minutes and I swear Trish was trying to get me killed. She had picked this really pretty red dress that clung to my upper body and flowed from my waist down to just above me knee. I had to admit, I really liked it, like really liked it. She had paired it with a white rose necklace and some matching earrings which I had gotten for my birthday. I really liked those too. The only problem was...
The shoes.
Don't get me wrong they looked nice, but they were high-and I mean really high. I'm not usually the type of girl to wear high heels out to public places, so when my best friend gave me 6 inch heels to wear, I wasn't particularly impressed. Trish sighed and placed her hands on her hips.
"Oh stop complaining Ally, your gonna look totally hot in that outfit," She snapped in annoyance while I groaned on my bed. "Now sit up so I can do your hair." Man, why did she have to be so bossy? I slowly sat up and pouted angrily.
"Trish, why don't you just let me wear some different shoes. Preferably a pair that won't result in me tripping and falling flat on my face," I pleaded while attempting to put on my puppy dog face. Trish obviously wasn't falling for it and rolled her eyes.
"Don't use that puppy dog look on me, it never works," She scolded and I sighed in disappointment. "Besides, your not gonna fall, you've walked in heels before."
"Not 6 INCH HEELS!" I exclaimed worriedly. "And I think I'm gonna die of embarrasment if I fall over in front of Austin!" Trish smirked slightly.
"Hey, if your lucky, you could fall into his strong arms," She said dreamily. "Like in one of those cliche romance movies!" I blushed lightly and began to play with my fingers.
"I wish," I mumbled and Trish chuckled. She then pulled out our straighteners and began to straighten my wavy hair. My thoughts then wandered to the date, I hoped the one tonight wouldn't be as bad as the first one with Elliot. I would probably die if I had to sit through another few hours of stories about cats and cheese.
"Your date tonight it called Cameron, he's really cute!" She said excitedly while trying to comb down a particularly curly part of my hair before straightening it. I rolled my eyes.
"Trish, you have to tell me what he looks like or it will be hard for me to find him," I replied tiredly while picking up a magazine that was lying next to me on the bed.
"Ally you worry way too much," She said calmly while checking her watch. "All finished! Now turn around and let me do your make up." I sighed. I don't worry to much, Trish worries too less. If that even makes sense.
"Nope it doesn't make sense," Trish stated bluntly while applying red lipstick to my lips. "And you've gotta stop thinking out loud." I flushed in embarrasment and focused on reading the magazine. There was no point arguing with Trish anymore, I always lose. Hopefully I wouldn't trip over tonight.
"Hey Ally," Austin said as I nervously entered the restaurant. He turned from the table he had just served and watched me wobble over to an empty table. His calm face changed to confusion and amusement. "Something wrong with your legs?"
I sat down in one of the chairs and sighed. Walking all the way to the restaurant from the my dorm house was torture and I seriously thought my feet were gonna fall off. Stupid 6 inch heels. Austin walked over to the table and towered over me with his arms crossed. I looked up and rolled my eyes playfully when I saw the teasing smirk on his face.
"There's nothing wrong with my legs, it's these stupid heels," I answered while lifting my leg up so he could see my shoes more easily.
"Actually I think they look quite fitting," He replied with a wolfish grin, my eyes widened and my face flushed. He chuckled at my embarrasment while I stared at my hands. Come on Ally don't let him see you so embarrased! I took a deep breath and turned to face him again. He smiled warmly at me and I found myself blushing even more.
"I-I-Erm," I stuttered nervously. Darn, why did he have to be so incredibly cute? Wait, I hope I didn't say that out loud! Suddenly he leaned down to my level and put his mouth near my ear, I froze from how close he was.
"Don't worry, I think your incredibly cute too," He whispered quietly. "Especially when you get all flustered." That was all he did before calmly walking back to the the kitchen. I smiled slightly to myself and picked up a menu, I have really got to stop thinking out loud.
A few seconds later my thoughts were interrupted by a boy suddenly walking over to the table and sitting down in the chair opposite mine. He fiercely grabbed one of the menus and began to read without even acknowledging my presence.
"Erm, hi?" It was supposed to be a greeting but came out as more of an anxious question. He didn't even bother to look up and rolled his eyes rudely. My eyes narrowed slightly. "My name's Ally, are you Cameron?" He jerked his head up so aggressively that his dark blonde hair shook. He stared at me for a few seconds and I could feel his dark green eyes piercing into me.
"Did I ask for your name?" He spat angrily, I gasped in surprise from his harsh tone.
"N-No but-"
"Then don't speak." I shrank down in my seat and closed my mouth. He was really intimidating, and I am not one of those girls that loves the bad boys. I find them incredibly unattractive. He tore his eyes away from me and back down to the menu while I played with my fingers. My face brightened suddenly when Austin came over with his notepad and pen.
"Hey guys, I'm Austin and I'll be your waiter for the evening," He started while curiously looking at Cameron, who's head was still in the menu. "Can I take your orders plea-"
"I'll have the beetroot soup, so will the girl," Cameron interrupted while dropping the menu on the table and facing Austin.
"B-b-but I don't like-" I began but immediately stopped when Cameron sent me a fierce glare. My eyes widened in fright and I shrank down in my seat once more.
"What did I say about talking?" He hissed quickly with a long eye roll. Austin's eyes narrowed in anger and he took a protective step closer to me.
"I think you should let her order her own food dude," He said slowly. I could tell he was angry but was trying to stay calm, his fists were clenched and he was glaring at Cameron.
"No it's okay Austin, I'll have the soup," I sighed and shrugged my shoulders. "I'll have the soup." He looked at me with concern before asking.
"Are you sure." I sent him a reassuring smile and nodded, he smiled back quickly before returning to the kitchen. I sighed. Great going Ally, now you have to eat that disgusting beetroot soup! I should have just asked for something else, but man Cameron had a scary glare! I blamed Trish.
"Well, here are your orders," Austin said while placing a bowl of soup in front of Cameron and, to my surprise, a plate of roast chicken and potatoes for me. Man that roast chicken smells good. I smiled and turned to Austin in confusion, he simply winked at me then prepared to leave, when Cameron stopped him.
"Hey, waiter boy," The green eyed boy called sharply. Austin rolled his eyes quickly before turning and smiling fakely at the rude boy. I bit my lip to stop a giggle escaping my mouth.
"The girl ordered soup," Cameron snapped angrily. For crying out loud, is it that hard to remember that my name is Ally? I subtly rolled my eyes and rested my cheek on my hand.
"Oh I'm sorry, it seems I got the orders mixed up, silly me," Austin said dramatically with an innocent tone. I couldn't help but giggle at his childish actions. Cameron glared at the blonde waiter before speaking again.
"Well, why don't you change them?" He growled which made me a little frightened. Austin didn't even flinch.
"I don't think so, Ally didn't want to order that soup so I was merely saving her from having to eat something she didn't like, she was just too shy to say anything," Austin replied smoothly while resting a hand on the table. How was he still so confident with an angry ape like Cameron glaring at him like that? Maybe I'm just a scaredy cat.
"Listen idiot, if you don't change the orders, I'm gonna complain and get your butt fired," Cameron hissed and stood up aggresively. The two boys stared eachother down, Cameron was glaring while Austin, who was slightly taller, was smirking. A few seconds later, Austin spoke.
"Go ahead and complain, my parents run this place, I'm not going anywhere," He smiled cheekily and crossed his arms. I smiled. Go Austin! The shorter boy turned to me and narrowed his eyes. Oops, did I say that out loud?
"You be quiet, no one was talking to you," He spat loudly. My blood boiled and I suddenly became very annoyed. This guy was a little too rude for my liking. I stood up angrily and faced him.
"Listen Cameron, if I wanna talk then I'll talk okay? And I don't like beetroots! I can order for myself thanks," I began loudly and watched as his face became angrier and angrier.
Okay Ally I think that's enough, I thought to myself. But for some silly reason I continued. "You are the most rude, arrogant and aggresive boy I have ever met," Come on Ally quit while your ahead! "And you know what? Your a real-" I searched my brain frantically for a good enough insult. Quick Think Ally, Think! "MEANIE!" Yep that should do the trick. That was a pretty good rant if I do say so myself.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Austin face palm and chuckle quietly to himself. Cameron rolled his eyes and muttered some rude words under his breath. I let out a breath and sighed. Maybe my rant wasn't as good as I thought-
"What Ally is trying to say," Austin started, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Is that your a total jerk and have a really crappy taste in food, now get out of this restaurant." He gestured to the exit with his head.
"Make me," Cameron snarled. Austin rolled his eyes and sighed in exasperation. Wow, is this guy really that stupid?
"Are you really that stupid?" Austin asked. Well that's weird, it was like he was reading my mind. When Cameron didn't move, Austin smirked and picked up the cold beetroot soup on our table. My eyes widened in surprise as he poured the entire bowl over Cameron's head. The embarrassed boy growled and stomped out of the room.
Everything was silent for a few seconds as me and Austin were the only ones left in the restaurant. He looked at me and smirked.
"Meanie, really? That was the best you could do?" He asked in amusement. That did it. We both burst into loud and crazy laughter and collapsed into two nearby chairs. We spent the next few minutes laughing and giggling about nothing in particular, and to be honest, that was probably the highlight of the entire night.
"I'm not good at insulting people okay," I giggled loudly while covering my mouth to stop any boistrous snorts escaping. That would be horrifyingly embarrassing.
"Yeah your pretty awful at them," He chuckled and I smiled. "But I'm proud of you, for standing up to that jerk. Even though I've only known you for like 2 days." I looked at him in confusion.
"Why are you proud of me?" I asked quietly.
"Because you don't seem like the type of person to stand up to people. You probably just let them walk all over you," He replied confidently and I shrank down into the seat. He was totally right. Darn it!
"Oh yeah, because your so good at reading people," I mocked playfully and rolled my eyes. He smiled and glanced down at my feet which were tired and slightly swollen.
"Why don't you take off your shoes Ally?" He asked softly, I looked up at him and noticed that his eyes reflected concern. I smiled slightly.
"Because my best friend Trish would kill me," I replied with a soft chuckle. It was supposed to be a joke, but I knew that Trish killing someone was possible. Actually it was very likely.
"Come on, I'll give you my flip flops to borrow," He suggested sweetly. I sighed and shook my head.
"No Austin I can't do that."
"You can and you will or... I'll never serve you that roast chicken dinner ever again!" He announced childishly which made me gasp.
"Perish the thought!" I replied dramatically and immediately reached down to carefully take of my heels. After a few minutes of messing with buckles and straps, I finally threw off the devil shoes and slid into the the comfy, dark blue flip flops. I sighed in contentment. "Thanks."
"No need for thanks Ally, I'm naturally just a nice guy," He replied cockily with a shrug of his shoulders. I shook my head at him and grinned when I saw my small feet in his giant flip flops. They look like clown slippers on me!
"You know I don't think your ever gonna stop thinking out loud, are you Ally?" Austin sighed with an exasperated shake of his head as he stood from his chair.
"Probably not, but I'll try!" I replied exitedly while also rising from my own chair. "I'll see you tomorow, Austin," I said quietly and smiled widely at him. He returned it and took a small step closer to me.
"See you tomorow, Ally," He replied softly. For a second, our eyes locked and I'm sure I could have tripped in the flip flops I was wearing. Imagine what serious damage could have been done if I was still wearing those devil heels! It's not my fault I can't control myself, it's his beautiful eyes. I blamed the eyes.
"He was a jerk Trish, a total jerk," I said as I shut the door to our room. As usual, she was reading one of her favourite fashion magazines and hadn't even bothered to look up. I rolled my eyes playfully and collapsed onto my warm bed.
"Was he a just a total jerk, or a total total jerk?" She asked curiously with her head still buried in the magazine. Yeah, so just a total jerk is okay? Typical Trish.
"Trish he was such a jerk, Austin had to kick him out of the restaurant and pour beetroot soup over his head," I replied with a small giggle as I remembered Cameron covered in purple soup. Trish immediately tossed the magazine in a random direction and dashed over to my bed.
"DETAILS! TELL ME EVERYTHING!" She bellowed and I backed away slightly. Can you say Deja vou?
"Well, Cameron was a total idiot, he completely ignored me and snapped at me everytime I tried to speak to him," I began and Trish clenched her fists in anger.
"Do you want me to hurt him Ally, because I will," She said evily while rubbing her hands together as if she was planning something dangerous. My eyes widened in panic. I mean Cameron was a real jerk, but I didn't want him hurt badly! Well at least I think I didn't.
"No Trish that won't be necessary," I replied quickly with a curt shake of my head. She sighed and relaxed slightly.
"Come on, continue with the story," She shouted eagerly and leaned in closer to me. I smiled and told her the rest of the story, purposely leaving out the part about taking off my heels. Hopefully she wouldn't notice. Unfortunately, she did. "Ally, why aren't you wearing those heels I gave you?" She asked and placed her hands on her hips.
"Weeeeeeell?" I started nervously and began to play with my fingers. "Austin saw how uncomfortably I was in the devil heel-I mean high heels, so decided to let me borrow his flip flops to walk home in," I smiled and quickly glanced down at the large flip flops I was still wearing. Trish gasped dramatically.
"He let you borrow his FLIP FLOPS!" She exclaimed and I nodded quickly. "Do you know what this means Ally!?"
"Erm, he's a really kind person?" I asked in confusion and Trish rolled her eyes in frustration.
"No! It means he likes you!" She shouted and rushed over to the wardrobe. She began throwing out random dresses and jackets onto her bed and the floor, while I just stared in confusion.
"Trish, what are you dong?" I asked with a sigh. I hope she's not-
"I'm finding you some clothes for tomorow night, gosh Ally catch up," She snapped while throwing some more jackets onto the floor. "And tomorow, your wearing even higher shoes!" I sighed and smiled slightly. Hey, if it means I can wear Austin's flip flops tomorow, I'm not complaining!
