So I'm like REALLY proud of this chapter, because it's definitely the longest, and I just think it's definitely, like, the cutest thing I've ever written. So I'm really proud of it. Here's chapter 8!
Thursday, February 14, 2013 – Ally's Locker
Ally's POV
When I woke up this morning, I realized it was Valentine's Day. And when I walked into school, I noticed all of these guys giving their girlfriends flowers or balloons, and part of me wanted Austin to do something like that, but part of me thought it was to cliché. I personally never really liked Valentine's Day, but granted I've never had a boyfriend on it, until now.
I walked up to my locker and put my combination in. I opened my locker and got my first and second hour books out. Austin and I usually walk to third hour together, and we meet at my locker before, so I usually switch books then. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist as I was getting my pre-cal binder, I turned to see Austin. "Hey," I said.
"Hey, beautiful," he responded, and leaned down to kiss my cheek. "Happy Valentine's Day," he smiled, because he knew I could hear the humor in his voice. He's told me multiple times how cheesy Valentine's Day is, so I rolled my eyes, but smiled.
"Happy Valentine's Day," I said back.
"So, I was thinking we should go out tonight."
"Where?"
"Just dinner and a movie, something simple." I nodded.
"Sure," the 6 minute bell rang. I put the rest of my stuff in my book bag and zipped it up. Putting it on over my shoulder, Austin grabbed my hand and we began to walk to class. Once we got to my room, we stood outside the door.
"How does Kick-Ass 2(1) sound?" Austin asked.
"Sure, how about instead of dinner, we can just get ice cream afterwards." His face lit up. I smiled, and then the 2 minute bell rang. "You should probably get to class," Austin sighed dramatically. But he smiled and gave me a peck, and then walked to his class. I walked in my classroom and sat down my seat. Suddenly, Emily, who was a senior, I was a junior in pre-cal, which is a senior class. So it makes sense that there are seniors in it. Anyway, Emily was a good friend of mine and I talked to her often in this class.
"I still can't believe it took his this long to finally get the balls to ask you out," she said. I laughed at this.
"Hey, at least he did it." I countered. The final bell rang and my first hour teacher Mrs. Smith walked in.
*LINE BREAK* Still Ally's POV
Before I knew it, the school day had flown by. Now I was sitting in Austin's car as he was driving me back to my house. When he pulled into my driveway, I got out of the car. "Excuse me," Austin said, the door was still open when I leaned back into the car, "forgetting something?" he smirked. I laughed, but leaned over the seat to give him a passionate kiss. When we pulled apart, we looked into each other's eyes, "I'll pick you up at 6." He whispered, before leaning back in.
"K," I smiled and met him halfway. I closed the door and went up to my porch as he was backing out of my driveway. I walked into my house and walked into the kitchen and set my bag down on a chair. I saw my dad talking on the phone.
"…I guess that's okay," he sighed and turned to me, "Sounds good, I got to go now, Ally just walked in…Thanks…Bye." He hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" I asked, as I pulled out my History book, yeah I'm doing my homework now, it's still a school night, and I want to get it done before Austin and mine's date. What?
"Nobody," he said. I raised my eyebrows, the call sounded pretty important and then hung up as soon as he noticed me. That was a first, but I shrugged it off and drowned myself in The Revolutionary War.
"I'm going out with Austin tonight." I told him, while I was answering the questions in my workbook.
"Okay, for Valentine's Day?" My dad knew we were dating, and he was actually ecstatic about it. Man, I guess everyone, except for that 7% in Cheetah Beat(2), wanted us to date.
"Yup," I said. After I finished my homework I went upstairs to my bedroom and put my phone on its charger. I got a pair of gray shorts and a t-shirt, it wasn't Austin's Jackson Lowe tour t-shirt that's for sure, ha…it's not like when we got into a paint fight last summer he let me borrow it with a threat that I better give it back and I just so happened to 'forget'. 'Cause I didn't forget, ha…. Anyway, I looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost 4:30. Walking into my bathroom, I put my IPod on the IPod dock and blasted Maroon 5 (3). I took a 15 minute shower, singing along at the top of my lungs while shampooing my hair with my favorite grapefruit shampoo and volumizing conditioner. I got out and wrapped myself in the white towel on the rack and walked back into my room. I put on the shorts and t-shirt and wrapped my hair in a towel.
I walked over to my desk, where my macbook pro sat. Logging in I went to the Skype browser (4) and called Trish. She answered it…
"Hey," she said, "What's up?"
"I'm going out with Austin later and I need help with my outfit."
"Okay, where's he taking you? Fancy? 'Cause it is Valen-"
"We're just going to a movie and then to get ice cream." I cut her off. She nodded.
"Okay, show me what you had in mind." I turned my laptop so it was facing my closet and walked over to it. I held up my first option, which was a knit gray top with a pair of denim shorts.
"I was thinking this with a yellow cami underneath and my gray Keds (5)."Trish looked at it before shaking her head.
"That would be cute for school tomorrow, though" she said. I nodded my head. Well, one step for tomorrow morning is out of the way, I thought to myself. I put the outfit on the beanbag chair in the corner near my bed, which is to the right of my closet. I have a pretty small room, since I have a queen sized bed taking up most of the space. But hey, I have a built in bathroom, and I got to decorate, with no objections from my dad.
I turned and began rummaging through my closet again, this time pulling out a red strapless dress that had a brown, leather, braided belt at the midsection.
"How about this…with my brown leather ankle boots and a tan cardigan?" She shook her head again.
"I think that's a tad too fancy." I sighed and put it back in my closet.
4 rejected outfits later I was about to snap, but then one of my shirts in the back of my closet caught my eye.
"Hey, what about this one?" I asked, holding up my long sleeved, floral sweater that had the word love on it.
"Cute," she said, holding the long 'u' for an extra second. "With those denim shorts you showed me from that plaid shirt outfit you had." I nodded and dug the shorts out. I turned around and noticed the black beanie I had on the coat rack over in the corner, I walked over to get it before showing it to Trish.
"I can wear my nude heels and this, too." I smiled, gesturing to the beanie, and set the outfit on the bed. (6)
"Okay, you're all set," she said, "Have fun on your date," she teased. I just smiled and rolled my eyes.
"Bye, Trish," I said.
"Bye," she ended the call and I took my hair out of the towel.
I walked into the bathroom and plugged my curling iron in. I grabbed my wide-tooth comb and began detangling my hair. About 5 minutes later, I was done combing my hair and I plugged my hair dryer in the other outlet, the one the curling iron wasn't plugged into, and grabbed my paddle brush. I blow-dried my hair and then did my make-up. Since I wasn't too big into it, and I honestly didn't need it, because I was blessed with a good complexion, I settled for a light eyeliner and a bit of mascara, just to lengthen my insanely sort eyelashes. I brushed my teeth, what? I don't want nasty breath when Austin and I— never mind.
I put on some lip gloss and then began to curl my hair. After I finished, I looked over at my clock, 5:45 flashed across the digital screen. Austin would be here soon. As I was putting my outfit on, I heard the door bell ring. He was early? He's never early. Wow.
"Ally!" I heard my dad shout. "Austin's here!"
"I'll be down in a minute." I looked in the mirror before grabbing a pair of peach flower earrings and putting them in. I grabbed my phone and a small knit purse with my wallet and phone and other necessities. As I was walking out of my room, I put on a silver dove necklace. When I got to the bottom of the stairs, Austin's back was turned to me. I crept up behind him, but it's kind of hard to do that in heels, with the first click on the wood floor, after coming from carpeted stairs, he turned around.
"Hey Als," I frowned. His face turned worried, "everything okay?" he asked.
"I was trying to scare you," he visibly relaxed and began to laugh, "but that's kind of hard to do in heels." I crossed my arms. He walked over and wrapped his around me.
"Als," he said, "even when you're not it heels you're not sneaky," he teased. My mouth dropped.
"Whatever," I rolled my eyes, and grabbed his hand, "Bye dad!" I called out.
"Bye, be back by 10!"
"K!" We walked out to his car and got in and drove to the movie theater. When we got there we parked and began to walk up to the doors. As we were walking Austin grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers.
"You look beautiful," he said. I smiled.
"Awe, thanks." I said. We got our tickets, movie snacks and such and walked into the screening room. We sat down; there were about 10 other groups there. Nobody was paying attention to the previews.
Austin began to play with my fingertips, before leaning down to whisper in my ear, "You hear the fans a few rows behind us too right?" he asked. I looked up at him, and nodded, the girls weren't being very subtle. Vigorously whispering to each other…
"Is that Austin Moon?"
"That's gotta be him! Is he on a date?"
"Should we ask for a picture?"
"No, what if he is on a date?"
"Guys, shut up, just ask after the movies over."
"We're not even sure if it's him."
Austin silently laughed in my ear. "I'm so tempted to turn around," he whispered. I laughed.
"You should go take a picture with them."
"I will," he said, "after the movie."
*LINE BREAK* Still Ally's POV
Two hours later, Austin and I walked out of the room, hands intertwined, with an empty bucket of popcorn, and an empty drink. We were laughing about the movie, because it was so funny.
"We should wait for those girls," I said. He sighed.
"But I want to spend time with you," he leaned his forehead against mine, I gave him a look. "Although, I do love my fans," he said and leaned down to kiss me. I smiled into the kiss but quickly pulled away when I heard a group of girls talking as they we're walking out of the theater. One of them, a tall blonde made eye-contact with me, her mouth dropped, she quickly gestured over to her three friends. A short brunette, and two identical red heads. Austin walked over to them, and they met him halfway. I followed behind.
"Hey guys," he said, I could tell they were trying so hard not to shriek.
"Oh gosh, Hi," the taller of the red-heads said, she seemed the calmest. The brunette spoke next.
"Hi, I'm Jessica."
"Madelyn," the taller red-head said, "this is Sarah," she gestured to the other red-head.
"I'm Raleigh." The blonde said.
"Like the city?" Austin said.
"Yeah," she smiled.
"Sweet." He said. This is usually the part where I come in.
"Do you guys want me to take a picture of you guys?" I offered, which I really didn't mind, it's not that difficult to press a button. The girls turned and acknowledged my presence with shrieks.
"Oh my gosh, you're Austin's songwriter!" Sarah said. I smiled and nodded.
"..and girlfriend." Austin added in. I looked over at him and rolled my eyes. The girls weren't shocked. But Raleigh spoke up…
"You guys are dating!?" she asked, we nodded. "Awwe," she added. I laughed.
"So, do you guys have a camera or a phone or something?" I asked. Raleigh handed her Iphone over. I noticed Austin was her lock screen. "Cute background," I commented, with a smile. She blushed. I took a couple pictures of them as a group, and solo pictures. When I handed Raleigh back her phone, she did something that surprised me. She gave me a hug, Of course I hugged back.
"Thank you so much," she said, with a big smile on her face. I smiled. They each gave Austin another hug, and as they were walking away they were looking at the pictures I took, shrieking and giggling.
"They were so cute." I said, as we were walking out into the parking lot.
"Yeah, but not as cute as you," he said. I laughed.
"-and cue cliché comment." We both laughed at the statement and we drove over to Dairy Queen(7).
We ordered our ice cream, got it and sat down at a booth in the back. The place was actually pretty crowded, since there was little league team there. We enjoyed our ice cream, when I thought of something.
"You know," I paused to take a bite of my cookie dough blizzard, "you still haven't told your fans you're going on tour."
"Oh yeah, I really should tell them."
"How about a live stream, on Saturday? We can do it in the practice room." He nodded.
"Sounds good."
After we finished our ice cream, Austin drove me home. We had a cheesy kiss goodnight on my front porch. He leaned down to give me a tight hug, and I leaned up to whisper in his ear, "Isn't this way better than some fancy restaurant for a Valentine's Day date?"
"Oh yeah," he responded. He gave me another kiss and I walked into my foyer.
"Ally?" I heard my dad shout from upstairs. While I was making me way upstairs I shouted back…
"Yeah! It's me." I passed my dad's room, where he was laying in his bed, reading a book.
"How was your date?" I sighed in the most love struck way possible.
"Perfect."
That night, when I was getting ready for bed, my phone buzzed. I saw that Austin had texted me.
'Night beautiful, see you tomorrow.' I smiled like a little girl and responded.
'Night rock star, don't let those pillow monsters get your face. I tend to enjoy it.'
'Kinky Ally? I like it;) Don't worry, they won't!' I laughed at this.
'Only 'cause you have your nightlight to protect you. haha just kidding!'
'uh huh, sure 'just kidding' right. Oh welllll, I still like you;)'
'good, cause I like you too, see you tomorrow.'
'bye!" His last text had a heart with it. I fell back into my bed, and fell asleep; of course, I didn't have any dreams, because my dreams had become reality.
So, the reason the entire chapter was in Ally's POV is because I thought it was easier to write a date from a girls perception. So if you want I can do a short chapter of Austin's POV of the date, or not. I'm letting you guys decide that. If I get 5 yes', from different people then I'll do that chapter, but if I don't, then I won't. hehe, that rhymed.
