Hi Everyone, THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOOOO MUCH for all the reviews, favs and follows! I was so happy when I found out I had over 100 follows, and it's ONLY THE 4TH CHAPTER! Your all so awesome! Sorry for not updating in a while, I've had a lot of things to do with my GCSE's coming up soon. I hope you guys liked chapter 3 and I hope you like this one too. Please review! Enjoy!

"ACHOO!" I sneezed loudly as Trish tried to do my make up, my loud outburst made her accidentally smudge red lipstick on the side of my cheek. She sighed in frustration and placed her hands on her hips.

"Ally, stop sneezing, or you'll end up looking like a total clown on your date," She snapped angrily while I rolled my eyes. Yeah, cause I can totally control when I sneeze. Note the sarcasm.

"I can't help it Trish, it's not my fault you set me up on a date with a hardcore germ spreader," I replied childishly and crossed my arms. You see this morning I found out I was coming down with a fever, the college nurse told me it was just a 24 hour flu and would be over by the next day. The college nurse also told me that I had somehow caught millions of bad germs the previous day- and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. My stupidly unhygenic date had given me the flu.

THE FREAKING FLU!

So you can probably understand why I was in a slightly grumpy mood. I blamed Trish.

"Yes you can, just stay still for a few seconds so that-"

"ACHOO!" Stupid Douglas and his pesky germs.

"Ally Dawson, your trying my patience," She snapped while glaring at me, I smiled sheepishly at her and shrugged quickly. Sheesh, what part of 'I can't help it Trish' didn't she understand? "We have to hurry up because we're both going out tonight, I don't wanna be late. Today is mine and Dez's anniversary, remember?"

Remember? I was the one that reminded her this morning! She was the one that forgot, and she's asking me to remember? This was an outrage!

"ACHOO!" I sneezed again noisily, Trish sighed tiredly and continued- well attempted to do my makeup.

About 15 minutes later we had both finished dressing up, Trish decided to give up on my make up, so just gave me a natural look. I was wearing a flowy blue dress with a sparkly silver belt and my matching strappy silver heels. Trish put my hair in a curly side ponytail and I was also wearing my silver rose earrings. I actually looked quite pretty, which always surprised me.

Trish looked totally gorgeous in her sleevless purple and leopard print striped dress. She was wearing very high black heels and her dangly purple feather earrings. Her hair was in loose waves and her make up was very bold and bright, just like her feisty personality.

"Trish, you look beautiful!" I smiled as I tucked a loose curl behind my ear.

"I do don't I?" She replied dramatically and began to strut around the room like a super model. Typical Trish, so over dramatic. I rolled my eyes playfully and giggled. "Thanks Ally, you look beautiful too. You know, you don't have to go, if you still feel too sick then you can stay here. The nurse did say the flu could get worse during the evening and late hours of the night," That's what I love about Trish, sometimes she's a huge drama queen and sometimes she's a caring best friend. Actually she's a huge drama queen most of the time.

"It's okay Trish I feel fine, the sneezing should be gone by tomorow, wouldn't want to miss a date!" I replied a little too enthusiatically. I chuckled awkwardly and Trish's eyes narrowed accusingly.

"Are you sure that's the only reason you want to go?" She asked with a smirk. "Or does it have something to do with that cute blonde waiter your crushing on?" Her eyebrows raised cheekily and I felt myself blush. Darn it, she was onto me. Fine, so maybe I wanted to see Austin, but he wasn't the only reason I- oh who am I kidding. I wasn't gonna let a tiny flu stop me seeing Austin! No way! But I wasn't gonna let Trish know that...

"Whaaaaaaaaat? Pff, It doesn't have anything to do with Austin, w-why would you think it had anything to do with Austin? That's crazy talk, sheesh Trish, anyone would think you were the sick one!" I exclaimed awkwardly while doing weird hand gestures. "Well, gotta go," I mumbled quickly before dashing out of the room. I heard Trish chuckle in amusement before shouting a quick "Bye Ally!" After me.

"See you later Tri- ACHOO!" I sneezed loudly and almost crashed into the dorm exit. Man, I hate having the flu. I hate it so much. But Austin is so worth it!

"Stupid Ally, why didn't you at least wear your warm jacket?" I asked myself quietly as I continued to walk to the restaurant. Unfortunately, the nurse was right about the flu possibly getting worse during the evening. Darn it, why was I so unlucky! I felt so incredibly cold, like I had just stepped out of a freezer, no joke! But my body was so hot that I was sweating slightly. How was that even possible?

"Stupid Douglas, I will never go out with a master germ spreader ever again," I whispered to myself with a quick eye roll as I continued walking at a slow pace. Austin had better be there, he's the only reason I was enduring this extreme cold. Oh no! What if he wasn't there? What if Douglas made him sick too? Stupid Douglas. Aw, poor Austin. But even if he was sick he would still look extremely cute-

My endless thoughts were interrupted by my body slamming roughly into someone else's. Obviously, being myself, I lost my balance and began to fall backwards. Suddenly, everything began to move in slow motion, like in all those funny action movies. Which I still watch by the way! Don't judge me. Random thoughts began to flash through my head. Was I gonna die? Why did Douglas have to make me ill? I hope the guy that bumped into me isn't some weird creep that is trying to steal my purse!

Before I could hit the ground, strong arms wrapped around my waist and saved my from falling. I sighed in relief and tilted my head up slowly, the moment I looked up my eyes locked with the beautiful hazel ones I had grown extremely fond of. I smiled shyly and felt a faint blush creeping up onto my cheeks.

"Austin," I breathed in relief and smiled even wider. He chuckled quietly and grinned back at me. He slowly removed his hands from my waist and helped me stand up straight. I straightened out my dress nervously and tried not to faint from the fact that his strong, warm arms had just been wrapped around me. I would just fangirl with Trish in our dorm later.

"Yep, it's Austin. Not some weird creep trying to steal your purse," He smirked while I looked away in embarrassment. Why? Why did I have to be cursed with my horrible thinking out loud problem!?

"Thanks for catching me- ACHOO!" I sneezed quietly, suddenly the awfulness of my flu came back to me. Darn, I forgot about it for a few seconds. Austin's eyes narrowed in confusion and his eyes reflected concern.

"Your sick," He stated softly and gently placed a hand on my forehead. "Ally your burning up, do you want me to take you home?" Aw, he's such a gentleman!

"No that's okay, I've made it this far, wouldn't wan't to miss my date, ACHOO!" I sneezed loudly and smiled sheepishly. Wouldn't wan't to miss my date? Who am I kidding? I just wanted to spend some more time with Austin. I couldn't care less about that blind date of mine, which would probably be awful like all the rest of them. Wow Ally, that was a really negative comment. See, this was what I meant when I said I was in a slightly grumpy mood. I still blamed Trish.

"Are you sure that's the real reason? Cause you kinda have a knack for being set up with horrible dates," He chuckled while I rolled my eyes playfully.

"Of course I'm sure haha, what other reason would there be, hehe," I lied awkwardly while doing weird hand gestures, he chuckled and stepped closer to me.

"Your totally lying," He replied slowly and locked our eyes in an intense gaze. Uhh! He's doing this on purpose! Do not crumble Dawson.

"Whaaaaaaat? Me lying? That's c-crazy talk," I replied nervously while trying, but unfortunately failing to blow a loose curl out of my face. Austin smiled in amusement and slowly tucked the curl behind my ear. My eyes widened as he brought his face closer to mine, I felt my knees get weaker and I'm pretty sure I my face looked like a deranged cherry. I was so nervous, w-was he g-gonna, kiss me? I SURE HOPE SO!

Now he was so close that I could feel his warm minty breath on my face. I stared intently into his deep hazel eyes and bit my lip to stop myself saying anything highly embarrasing. "Your a terrible liar, Alls," He whispered softly then suddenly looked a little hesitant, he broke our gaze and took a step back from me. I gulped subtly while my eyes narrowed in slight confusion. Austin looked down for a few seconds and sighed, I studied his face and noticed his eyes reflected a little nervousness.

"Austin, are you okay? ACHOO!" I sneezed so vigourously that I almost lost my balance, I smiled sheepishly to myself and hoped Austin wasn't looking. Come on Ally, at least try not to fall over! My embarrassing sneeze seemed to snap him out of his thoughts as he looked up and sent me a warm smile.

"Yeah, I'm fine, come on we'd better get you out of this cold, Alls," He chuckled and casually threw an arm around my shoulders in a warm side hug. My face flushed for like the gazillionth time that day and I couldn't help the goofy grin that had appeared on my face.

Alls?" I questioned with a small giggle.

"Hey, your officially my new female friend, you need a nickname," He replied as we began walking to the restaurant. Female friend? Well, it's a start. Thumbs up for Ally D!

"You flirt with all your female friends?" I asked playfully with a raised eyebrow. Please say no. Please say no. PLEASE SAY NO!

"Why? Would it bother you?" He asked with a teasing smile and a raised eyebrow. "Because I think it would." HECK YEAH IT WOULD!

"Whaaaaaaat? It wouldn't bother me- oh who am I kidding, I'm a terrible liar!" I exclaimed as I threw up my hands in defeat. I marched on in embarrassment but couldn't help but smile when I heard Austin chuckling behind me.

"-and I won my first male model award when I was 6 years old, goodness I was a hot 6 year old!" My date waffled on obnoxiously. Gosh this dude was stupid! When I entered the restaurant after saying a quick goodbye to Austin, I unfortunately heard an annoying voice coming from behind me. Naturally, I was curious, so I turned around and realized the voice was coming from a skinny blonde haired guy sitting at the table next to me. He was holding a rather large hand mirror to his face and saying quite troubling comments to himself. Well, I thought they were quite troubling.

~ Flashback ~

"Oh Dwayne, your so handsome!" The skinny boy exclaimed from the table behind me. Did- Did I just hear right?

"You could be a professional male model Dwayne, oh your so delicious!" He continued loudly while flipping his greasy blonde hair. I cringed visibly and took a step away from the table. Hmm, maybe he's looking in one of those circus mirrors? He must be, either that or he actually thinks he's handso-

"Dwayne your just SO HOT!" He shouted girlishly and attempted to growl flirtatiously at the mirror. Kill me. Kill me now. "You must be Annie," The boy said suddenly, not even bothering to look away from the mirror. I narrowed my eyes in confusion when I realized he was speaking to me. Why would he be talking to me- oh no. If this was my date I was so gonna murder Trish.

"Actually, it's Ally. Do I know you?" I asked curiously while taking a small step away from him. Didn't wanna get too close, his obnoxiousness could be contagious...

"No you don't know me, but you will after tonight. I'm your blind date, Dwayne," He replied with a cringe worthy wiggle of his eye brows and an appaulingly greasy hair flip. TRISH YOU ARE SO DEAD! I laughed sadly and hesitantly sat down in the seat across from him.

"Nice to meet you Dwayne-"

"You did know this was a blind date, didn't you Annie?" He interrupted rudely, then finally placed his mirror down on the table and looked at me. I nodded slowly while looking at him in confusion. Why would he ask that? "Well if you knew it was a blind date, why did you dress so horribly?" He snapped and rolled his eyes with an obnoxious hair flip. Oh no he did not just say that!

You know what, I think I'd keep Trish alive for a little while longer just so she could kill this idiot! Then I would kill her. Epic plan Dawson.

~ End of Flashback ~

And that is how I ended up here. Sat at a table listening to some greasy haired freak waffle on about his non existent male modeling career. Yipee. At least my flu was sort of getting better. My sneezing had stopped now but I still felt extremely cold and a little dizzy.

"Hey guys can I take your order?" Austin's kind voice said from the side of our table. I looked up at him and smiled. Now there's a guy that could become a professional male model!

"I'll have the goat's cheese salad, helps to keep my huge muscles toned," Dwayne replied confidently and tried to show off his extremely skinny arms. Huge muscles? Really?

"Yep, those arms are huge alright, you could carry giant trucks with those bad boys," Austin smirked sarcastically with a pitiful shake of his head. I smiled and bit my tongue harshly to stop a loud giggle escaping.

"Excuse me, are you insulting me? Servant boy," Dwayne snapped dramatically with a long hair flip.

"Pff, me? Insulting you? Whaaat- no pff, I was simply admiring your strong and extremely toned muscles," Austin replied fakely in an extremely condescending tone. I giggled quietly to myself when I saw Dwayne huff and and cross his arms childishly. Austin chuckled lightly before turning to me. "What do you want to order Ally?"

"Erm, I'll just have the chicken pie please," I replied cheerily and handed Austin the menu. I mentally squealed when I felt his soft fingers brush against mine and tried to hide my light blush. Goodness, what the boy does to me.

"Sure thing, Alls," He replied with a flirty smirk. I sighed softly as he walked back to the kitchen and rested my head on my hand. You know, I really think I could get used to this whole nickname thing.

"ACHOO!" I sneezed loudly just as Austin came back to the table with our food. Half an hour had passed and Dwayne was still kinda moody after Austin commented on his chicken arms. My loud sneeze caused him to give me a completely unsubtle look that said 'Your not worthy to sneeze in the same room as King Dwayne' Sorry, I'm not that good at understanding what looks mean. You can probably tell.

I narrowed my eyes angrily at him as he rolled his eyes and began to stare at himself in his silly hand mirror. Seriously, if this guy wasn't waffling on about his completely unbelievable experiences, he was insulting me or staring at himself in that HAND MIRROR! What kind of guy carries around and a freaking hand mirror!? I am extremely annoyed and I swear, if I had a knife right now that greasy haired doofus would be DEAD! Ha! Take that Dwayne the vain pain! Hey, that was some awesome rhyming-

I stopped suddenly when I looked up and saw both boys staring at me. I looked at them in confusion and noticed that Dwayne was gaping at me in surprise and Austin was chuckling quietly to himself.

"What?" I asked curiously. Dwayne rolled his eyes and flipped his hair obnoxiously. I swear if he does that one more time-

My thoughts were interrupted by Austin leaning down and placing his lips just beside my ear, I blushed furiously and felt my face getting hotter. "You know that rant you just had about how annoying Dwayne is?" He whispered and I nodded slowly. Wait. How did Austin know about that- uh oh. "You said it all out loud." Well done Ally, you've insulted your date and made a complete fool of yourself in front of Austin. Darn, I hate thinking out loud.

"Oops," I sighed quietly and face palmed myself. I lifted my head up quickly and turned to Dwayne to apologize. Yeah he was rude, vain and highly obnoxious, but my parents always told me to be calm and polite. What on earth were they thinking? I sighed and took a deep breath, but as I turned my head to face him I forgot that Austin's face was right beside my ear. My sudden action caused our noses to brush and our lips to be only centimetres apart.

Both our eyes widened in surprise and I saw a faint blush appear on Austin's cheeks. Just as I was about to look away in embarrassment, he placed his hand under my chin and gently tilted my head up so we were even closer than before. He smiled lightly and glanced at my lips before slowly beginning to lean in closer. I smiled as I stared into his deep hazel eyes and found myself leaning in too. Relax Ally, you and Austin are about to kiss, no big deal. NO BIG DEAL! This was a huge deal, don't mess this up Dawson!

Our lips were simply milimetres apart and our eyes slowly fluttered shut, just as his soft lips touched mine an annoying voice startled us, causing both of our eyes to snap open. UHH! SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE BRING ME A KNIFE!

"Ahem, don't you think it's a bit rude to kiss your boyfriend in front of your blind date, Annie?" Dwayne asked without even looking up from his hand mirror. Stupid hand mirror. "I think I'm gonna leave now, this date was awful and to be honest, I can do much better." How dare he! I can do much better than him, not the other way round! The freaky boy grabbed his mirror angrily and began to dramatically storm out of the restaurant. "And by the way, I do have huge, muscular arms!" He exclaimed then slammed the door behind him. Everything suddenly became very awkward, hopefully Austin wouldn't talk about our almost kiss.

"You keep thinking that chicken arms!" Both me and Austin shouted after him then burst into a fit of boistrous laughter. Ah, the awkwardness was gone, thank goodness! He quickly sat in the seat across from me and placed my chicken pie on the table. I smiled softly at him then noticed that the pie was in a To Go box. I looked at him in confusion and tilted my head to the side slightly.

"Thanks Austin, but why is it in a To Go box?" I asked calmly. He smiled, stood up and quickly picked up my pie.

"Because I'm walking you home," He replied simply. "Ally, I want you to recover fully from your illness. I hate seeing you sick, I care about you. So I'm taking you home, you need to rest." I felt a light blush appear on my cheeks and smiled softly. Aw, he cares about me, he's such a sweetheart!

"Well I do still feel a little warm, thank you Austin this is really sweet of you," I replied softly, he just shrugged and smiled sheepishly.

"Hey, I'm a nice guy, can't change that," He smiled cockily while I rolled my eyes playfully. Suddenly he held out his hand to me while smiling nervously. I giggled then took his hand, trying to ignore the sparks that flew up my arm. We slowly exited the store, hand in hand and began walking back to our college campus.

"That pie was delicious!" I sighed happily as I placed the empty To Go box on my bedside table.

"And those pancakes were awesome!" Austin exclaimed excitedly, I giggled at his childish enthusiasm. We had arrived back at my dorm around 20 minutes ago, I decided to eat my pie and somehow found out about Austin's weird obsession with pancakes. It just so happened that yesterday, Trish had bought some pancakes for Dez, but because of their pointless argument she was too angry to give them to him. Then just forgot about them. Typical Trish. So I decided to offer them to Austin who gladly accepted to eating the entire pack. He's such a guy. Such a sweet guy. Such a sweet and unbelievably cute guy. Such a sweet an- Ally stop it!

And that's how we ended up here, sitting on my bed, eating pie and pancakes. Perfection. Well actually chicken pie and pancakes would be an awful combination but you get what I mean.

"So Austin, when did your pancake obsession even start? Did you fall in a giant stack of pancakes when you were little or something?" I asked in amusement as he licked some syrup off his finger and chuckled.

"When I was 10 months old, my older sister accidentally fed me some of her pancakes. I swear, they tasted like a little bit of heaven. So I obviously ate the whole stack, even though I didn't have teeth. Heck, I wasn't gonna let a little thing like no teeth stop me from eating my pancakes! It was a beautiful day. From that moment on, I've been completely hooked on them!" He replied dramatically while doing weird hand gestures. I giggled loudly as I imagined a baby Austin stealing loads of pancakes.

"That explains a lot about you Austin," I replied and he smirked.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Well, you were a very greedy, pancake loving baby," I smiled and he laughed while nodding his head. As he did this, I noticed how his soft blonde bangs swayed and his eyes lit up with laughter. I sighed quietly and felt my cheeks getting hotter.

"Very true, I was in fact a pancake loving baby, I don't know about the whole greedy thing," He replied with a chuckle, I raised my eyebrows in disbelief and shook my head at him. Just as I was about to speak again the door flew open and Trish and Dez barged in. Arguing. And there goes the peace. It was nice while it lasted.

"Dez stop being such an idiot, how can you think white chocolate is nicer than milk chocolate?!" Trish bellowed angrily with an annoyed eye roll.

"White chocolate is waaaaaaay more creamy Trish, milk chocolate is just a waste of time," Dez replied loudly which caused Trish to gasp over dramatically. I looked over at Austin to see him watching the entire thing in amusement. I smiled and shook my head at him.

"HOW DARE YOU!" She growled and grabbed the ginger boy's shirt collar. "Listen doofus, admit milk chocolate is nicer than white chocolate and I won't hurt you. You might be my boyfriend and I do love you, but I wouldn't mind seeing you with some broken legs."

"NEVER! I will never admit milk chocolate is nicer than white chocolate! I'd rather have broken legs!" Dez shouted confidently and crossed his arms childishly. No Dez! That was a very stupid thing to say if you want to live!

"Okay, you asked for it!" Trish bellowed and prepared to pounce.

"ENOUGH!" I shouted loudly and they both stopped immediately. Hey, that was pretty awesome. Thumbs up for Ally D! "Trish don't hurt Dez, both of you can you please stop arguing, your gonna scare away Austin."

"Austin?" Both Trish and Dez asked in unison. I gestured to Austin who was sat calmly on the bed. Trish froze and her mouth hung wide open. Much like her eyes which were the size of saucers.

"Y-your Austin, y-your the extremely hot waiter Ally has been talking about!?" Trish exclaimed excitedly while I facepalmed in embarrassment. Why Trish? Why must you do this to me? I was so gonna kill her later! Sheesh Ally, what's with you and killing people today?

"Yep, that's me Austin the waiter, I don't know about the extremely hot part though," Austin chuckled and glanced at me with a smirk.

"Oh my gosh even his voice is hot," Trish whispered loudly to me. Believe me when I say, Patricia De La Rosa cannot whisper to save her life. "This one's a keeper Ally!" Please, someone just kill me now! Sheesh, again with the whole killing thing. I swear, you have a true dark side Dawson. I chuckled awkwardly and tried to avoid Austin's teasing gaze.

"Haha Trish you joker you, I never said those things Austin, Trish just loves to embarrass me," I lied nervously while doing weird hand gestures. Well, that wasn't going well.

"Your an awful liar Ally," Austin chuckled while shaking his head at me. "Come on Dez, we'd better get back to our dorm before your girlfriend kills you." I looked at the boys in confusion as they both stood up and walked towards the door.

"Wait, you two are dorm buddies?" Trish asked curiously and the boys nodded in unison. "Dez, how come you never told me about your hottie dorm buddy?" She exclaimed angrily and slapped the back of Dez's head. Poor guy, that was gonna leave a mark.

"OUCH! Calm it woman!" Dez screamed and rubbed the back of his head solemnly. "I have told you about Austin before, you just never listened." That sounds pretty believable.

"Oh your right, sorry Dezzy," Trish sighed and kissed his cheek softly, he immediately began giggling dramatically like a little girl.

"Please Trish, not in front of the guests," Dez chuckled girlishly and growled flirtatiously at Trish. Both me and Austin shuddered and quickly walked towards the door. Those two would probably end up making out again. I'm fine with that, as long as it's not on my bed! Ugh, i've still got that horrible scene in my head. Austin turned to me suddenly before leaving.

"Well, I'd better go," He smiled down at me and quickly placed a hand on my forehead. "Your temperature has gone down, just get some rest okay?" I nodded happily and smiled at his concern. "You promise?" He whispered sweetly but I'm sure I could see a little worry in his eyes.

"I promise," I whispered back softly. "Goodnight, Austin."

"Goodnight, Alls," He replied and softly planted a warm kiss on my forehead. I grinned widely and began playing with my hands nervously, trying and unfortunately failing to hide my blush. Oh Austin, look at what you do to me.

After asking me to say a quick 'it was really nice meeting you' to Trish and a 'see you later buddy' to Dez, Austin quickly left the dorm house. I sighed deeply and began skipping around the room like a weirdo. I was just so happy! So happy I wanted to climb the Eiffel Tower and jump off! So happy I wanted to eat the biggest chocolate cake ever then throw up straight after! So happy I was going to ignore Trish and Dez kissing on my bed! I know right, I was surprised at that too!

Well I guess that's what love does.

Or maybe it was just that chicken pie.
