I don't own Austin and Ally...I just watch it on tv and on my computer.

Summer of Love and Loss

Chapter Six: Waking Up and Hanging Out All Day

Warm brown eyes were staring back at her when she woke up, it felt right seeing those brown orbs first thing in the morning. Austin smiled at her before absentmindedly pressing his lips to her forehead like he had done the night before, Ally felt her eyes widen and her cheeks heat up. Waking up at the beach in the arms of an insanely gorgeous boy was like something out of a novel and she couldn't believe it was happening to her. Slowly the realization hit her she didn't go home last night instead she fell asleep on the beach with a boy. Naturally she started to freak out and try to squirm out of Austin's tight hold.

"Hey what's wrong?" he asked releasing her.

"What's wrong? Austin we fell asleep here together! I didn't go home last night what if my parents think something happened to me! You haven't been home since Wednesday morning. What's right?" Ally said sitting up quickly. It was a cold foggy morning and she was glad that Austin had lent her his sweatshirt the night before. "What time is it?"

"Six thirty. What's right is that I woke up here not hungover at the cove." Austin said sitting up and casually wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

"I suppose that is a good thing." She said leaning her head against his shoulder. "My parents probably don't even know that I didn't come home last night, they went out to a banquet last night and won't be awake until noon. Is it wrong that I'm starting to see that nothing's really wrong?"

"Not at all." Austin said giving her a heart-stopping smile. "So what would you like to do today Miss Dawson?"

"Do you have anything in mind Mr. Moon?" Ally asked turning to face him.

"I might." He said giving her a toothy grin. "Come on let me walk you home."

She stood up and wrapped Austin's red fleece blanket around her shoulders. He folded his sleeping bag and put the flashlight in his back pocket. Silence settled over them as they trudged through the empty beach in the direction of her house. At her porch steps he told her to dress comfortably, not to eat breakfast, to grab her camera, and to meet him in front of her house at nine.

Gingerly Austin opened his front door, he didn't want to wake his aunt and uncle because they'd grill him to no end over the fact that he hadn't been home in forty-eight hours. Thinking he had succeeded in sneaking into his own house he made a break toward the stairs that led to his basement bedroom.

"Austin Monica Moon!" his uncle's voice boomed.

"What's up Uncle Mason?" Austin said as he walked into the kitchen where his uncle was sitting at the table reading the paper. "You do know that no one reads the paper anymore."

"Where have you been?" His uncle asked setting down the newspaper and narrowing his eyes at him.

"What do you mean? I told you that I had to sleepover at the aquarium." Austin said.

"That was Wednesday, where were you yesterday?"

"Well I worked and then hung out with a friend." Austin said casually. "I'll remember to call you guys next time I have an unexpected sleepover with a friend. I didn't mean to worry you guys, I'm sorry."

His uncle nodded and mumbled something that Austin didn't catch but he was sure it had something to do with his parents. Knowing that everything had been said Austin left the kitchen. He took a fast shower and changed into a pair of beige cargo shorts and a black V-neck. Under his bed he found his favorite pair of red sneakers and a random pair of clean black socks. As he shoved his feet into his shoes his eyes wandered around his messy room sooner or later he'd have to clean it and he wasn't looking forward to that. He pulled out one of the black crates on his bookcase headboard and grabbed his cell phone car charger, he shoved the crated back into the cubic shelf and looked around for anything he might need for his day out with Ally. Deciding he had everything he need he left his bedroom and walked out of the house after promising his uncle that he'd be back for dinner and that he'd spend the night in his own bed.

Ally was already waiting for him when he pulled up in front of her house. She looked cute in a navy blue flowery top and light wash denim bermuda shorts.

"So where are we going?" She asked when she climbed into the passengers seat. She held out his blanket and sweatshirt. "Where can I put these?"

"Just toss them onto the backseat. Well first we're going to go to IHOP and get ourselves some breakfast." Austin said with a smile, he loved IHOP. "The rest of the day is a surprise."

"I don't really like surprises." Ally said.

"Trust me you'll enjoy yourself today."

"That's what Kelsey said when we went shopping." Ally mumbled.

Austin devoured six pancakes in the time it took Ally to eat one. She managed to snap pictures of him before he started eating, as he was eating, and when he was done and trying to steal one of her pancakes. At one point he reached over and took her camera from her, he snapped a picture of her taking a sip of her orange juice. After much insisting Austin paid for their whole meal and they left the IHOP, he wouldn't let her pay for the gas either but he did let her pay for a pack of gum and two water bottles. When she walked out of the store he was leaning against the jeep arms folded across his chest looking perfectly at ease. She snapped a picture of him and when she looked it over she couldn't help but think he was the most attractive boy she had ever met.

He drove them to the aquarium and gave her the complete tour of the place he worked at. She fell in love with the penguin exhibit. He pulled some strings and she got to feed and hold one of the penguins, of course Austin snapped a picture of her. At the shark exhibit she refused to touch the shark Austin had affectionately named Bruce but she took a picture of Austin doing so. Ally was definitely bringing Micah to one of the programs the aquarium had to offer.

"What are we doing now?" Ally asked not really wanting to leave the aquarium.

"How do you feel about boats?"

"I don't get seasick if that's what you mean."

"Okay good because we're going on the next whale watching trip." Austin said leading her to the aquarium's private dock.

They got onto the boat and while they didn't see a single whale they did see plenty of dolphins. They had one of the passengers take a picture of them as they stepped off of the boat. The sweet old lady told them that they made an adorable couple and neither of them had the heart to tell the smiling old lady that they were just friends. Austin had to drag Ally to the jeep, though not before getting one of his coworkers to snap a picture of him throwing the petite brunette over his shoulder. They grabbed a late lunch before Austin took her to go see the waterfall.

"They're just as pretty as I remember." Ally said as she looked up at the falls the hood of his sweatshirt falling as she did. She turned to look at him and smiled, "Lets take a picture."

It was her favorite picture and this day with Austin was her favorite day of her summer vacation. She smiled down at the screen of her camera, she hadn't stopped staring at the picture since it had been taken. Austin was standing behind her with his arms wrapped around her and a smile on his face, she was smiling and the waterfall was in the background along with the surrounding trees and the grey sky.

Her fingers were laced through his as they walked down the beach, he was going to be late for dinner but he didn't care. They reach her house all too soon, he didn't want the day to end but like all good things it had too. She thanked him for the amazing day they had and hugged him fitting perfectly into his arms as if they had been made to hold this tiny brown eyed girl.

She started for the door but he took her hand before she even made it a foot away from where he stood. Gently he pulled her back to him taking her other hand in his. She wondered if he was going to kiss her, if he wanted to kiss her. Worry filled her, she hadn't kissed someone since Dallas and even then their kisses weren't that great, what if she was a terrible kisser. Their eyes locked and staring into his warm brown eyes every doubt she had faded away into the chilly night air. In a way that was different from when she had a panic attack her heart began to pound against her chest. Her breath caught in her throat as she noticed that his gaze shifted to her lips for a second before returning to meet hers. Time seemed to slow down or stop completely she wasn't sure which all she was sure was that they were both moving closer to each other. Their lips came together in an innocent kiss. Her first kiss with Austin Moon.

When they parted, they gave each other a small smile. She then turned and ran into the house like a spooked deer. The thrill of the first kiss still lingering on her lips.
