PLEASE READ A/N

A/N: Okay first off, thanks to my 2 reviewers Megan and Catie, that being said the last chapter I posted didn't recieve a single signed review. I love all my readers, but I would really appreciate it if you guys could drop me a review so I know what I'm doing right and wrong and what people think of it. I got over 300 hits on it, so it would be nice if more than 2 out of 300 people could tell me what they think. I'm sorry if I come off as bitching but I'm not trying to be mean, I just want to know what you guys think. :) Okay, reviews aside, this is more of a fluff chapter, but the next chapter will have some drama started! Hope you like this!


Ding dong. Austin rang the doorbell to the Cruz house at 9:30 AM sharp, and the door was answered a moment later, by a sleepy-looking Kaylie. Her hair was all ruffled, she wore no make-up, and she was dressed in baggy sweatpants and an oversized hoodie. "Good morning, Miss Cruz." Austin said brightly, giving Kaylie his signature half-smile, that told her that he had something up his sleeve, and it could either turn out very bad, or very, very good.

"Uh, morning? What are you doing here so early?" Kaylie asked groggily, rubbing at her eyes. She hadn't expected Austin to show up until later.

"We're spending the day together." he told her, again flashing that mischievous grin.

"Starting now?"

"Right now, go get dressed."

…...

Fifteen minutes later, Kaylie emerged, with her hair in a ponytail, and minimal make-up, sporting a clean hoodie, and comfortable looking jeans. "What are we doing today?" she asked, curious as to what Austin could have thought up.

"You'll see." he replied, leaning down to give her a peck on the lips, she looked absolutely beautiful this morning.

He walked around the passenger side of his car and chivalrously opened the door for Kaylie as she climbed in.

They drove for a while, and Kaylie, who had grown up in Boulder, had a pretty good idea where they were going.

A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination. It was exactly the place Kaylie had suspected. He had taken her to the very park he had attempted to take her to before try-outs.

"Milady," Austin remarked as he again opened the door for her.

"Well, thank you kind sir," she laughed as she stepped out of the car.

"I thought," Austin said, opening his trunk and grabbing a bag, "that we'd try again with this picnic."

"I could be good with that," Kaylie said, following him to the same table they had sat at the last time.

"Good, because you don't really have a choice, this time were eating breakfast together whether you like it or not, although with you getting to look at me while you eat, I know you'll love it." he said, grinning cockily.

"Now, don't be getting a big head, you're not that good-looking." Kaylie responded.

"Ouch, Kay, that hurt a little bit." Austin said, pulling out fresh fruit salad, a couple muffins, and a thermos of coffee.

"Sorry, but someone had to tell you sometime, couldn't let you walk around thinking you're all that forever, that would just be cruel." Kaylie said, getting closer to Austin with every word and by the end of the sentence, she was whispering, her nose touching his.

"Well, I'm glad you have my best interest at heart." he said, his lips touching hers just briefly, teasing her, before pulling away and taking a bite of his muffin.

"Hey!" Kaylie objected, pouting, "that's not fair."

"Sure it is, apparently I'm not good looking anyway, so why would you want to kiss me?" Austin replied.

"Well, maybe you're a little good looking," Kaylie said, coming over to sit on his lap, facing him.

"Just a little?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Well, that depends," she answered.

"Depends on what?" Austin said, their gazes locked intently.

Kaylie smiled and made to get off his lap, but she didn't get far before Austin grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down, forcing her to resume her former position. He kissed her deeply, tangling his fingers in her hair, savoring the feeling of her being in his arms, healthy and happy. He had never had this feeling before. Sure he'd felt things similar to it, but never anything this strong, he didn't even know how to describe it. Kaylie pulled away, grinning widely and out of breath, "Okay, you win, you are definitely good looking."

"I know," Austin replied smugly, "and you're absolutely beautiful, and you didn't even have to bribe me to say it."

Kaylie blushed briefly, giving him a sweet kiss, "Thanks, now are you gonna share this food, or eat it all yourself?"

"I suppose you can have some..." Austin sighed sarcastically.

The rest of the day was absolutely amazing. After a little exploring and a whole lot of doing nothing, they made their way back to Kaylie's house to relax and watch a few movies, which ones caused some dispute of course, but in the end they compromised on equal choosing.

Kaylie couldn't ever remember having a day like this. Austin made her heart beat faster than when she did her routines during competitions. Even when they were just sitting around watching movies. It was crazy, but it was a good kind of crazy, she liked it. And as she leaned into Austin on the couch they were sharing and he kissed the top of her head gently, Kaylie felt a sense of utter contentment wash over her and she suddenly had the desire that this perfect day would never end.
