Taylor and Ally's bus – Next morning
Ally's POV
I woke up in an unfamiliar place that was moving. I freaked out for a second and shot upright, only to hit my head on the ceiling of the bunk above me.
"Ouch," I muttered, and I began to rub my forehead. I looked around again, before remembering I was on tour with Austin.
"Are you okay?" a soft voice asked, I looked over to a table in the corner and saw Taylor sitting in one of the chairs, writing down what was most likely new lyrics. She had her guitar on her lap.
"Yeah," I said, "Just forgot I was here for a sec," laughing at myself.
"Okay, bathrooms open if you want to get ready," she smiled. "We're in Cali, so we're something comfortable."
I got out of my bunk, and went over to my suitcase to get my toothbrush, clothes, and other stuff. Going into the bathroom, I began to brush my teeth. Then, I got dressed and walked back out to join Taylor.
"Sounds good," she said into her phone, "bye," and ended the call. She looked over to me. "You look cute," she said.
"Thank you," I said, and smiled at her. I was in a navy dress with a u-shaped neckline and small daisies on it. (1)
"I was just on the phone with Silena, you still on for shopping with us today?"
"Of course!" I said.
"Great, so we're all going to go to breakfast, all as in the crew, and Silena will meet us there and we can go." I nodded and walked over to my phone. A new text appeared across the screen from Austin.
"Morning beautiful:)" it read. I grinned at the message before typing a reply.
"Good Morning!"
"Are you going to breakfast?"
"Yeah, what else would I do? Haha"
"haha I wasn't sure if you and Taylor were shopping before or after,"
"Silena's going to meet all of us for breakfast and we're going from there."
"Ahh, okay, I'll see you in a couple minutes I assume, we just parked."
"See you in a few."
We had to park the buses and then walk a few blocks because obviously tour buses are too big for an IHOP (2) parking lot. So, when we did park, Taylor and I walked out of the bus and over to the rest of the crew at the front of the lot. We still had to wait for a few more groups, but I saw Austin talking to one of his dancers, Ethan I think? I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. He jumped, giving off one of his girlish screeches. Ethan and I laughed at him.
"Oh yeah," I teased, "I'm definitely not sneaky," I said. Making a reference to when I tried to scare him back on our Valentine's Day date. He smiled and rolled his eyes, but leaned down to give me a kiss.
"YO! LOVEBIRDS GET A MOVE ON!" Ed shouted.
We pulled apart only to see Ed and the rest of the crew about a block ahead, waiting for us. Austin grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers, and we caught up with them. When we got to IHOP, Taylor shrieked and ran towards someone.
"Silena!" Taylor shouted, giving her a hug. She came over to us.
"Hi guys, I'm Silena." She said, waving us. I smiled at her.
"Hi! I'm Ally," I said.
"Austin," he said, Silena pulled us each into a hug.
"It's so nice to meet you guys," she said. We smiled at her, before the waiter came to take us to our table. Since there were so many of us, we were split into groups. Austin and I sat with Taylor, Silena, and Ed in one of the booths.
"Your waiter will be with you in a sec," the hostess said, as she passed our menus to us, giving a smile she walked away. I looked over the menu before the waiter came.
"Hi, I'm Tyler; can I start you guys off with something to drink?" The waiter pulled out his notebook and pen, ready to write. He looked about mid-20s, and he gave off a very friendly vibe. He looked towards Taylor, who was on the edge.
"Um," she stuttered for a sec when she looked up at him, "I'll have a decaf." She smiled at him, and he jotted it down before giving her a smile in return before turning to Silena.
"Same," Silena said. Ed got a black coffee, Austin got a glass of orange juice, and I got some milk. We launched into a random conversation about one of our Miami adventures, when Austin took the guitar to get it signed by Bruno Mars.
"Wait," Silena said, "Your middle name is Monica?" We all laughed while Austin crossed his arms.
"My parents wanted a girl," he complained. I rested my head on his shoulder while laughing. "Why are you laughing, Ally? You're supposed to be a supportive girlfriend."
"I'm sorry, it just never gets old," I said, laughing in between words. Once it all died down, Austin was still pouting. I leaned up to give him a kiss on the cheek and whispered, "I'm sorry," he looked down at me, I gave him my puppy dog eyes. He broke into a smile and rolled his eyes, he rested him hand on my leg, as the waiter came to give us our drinks.
"You guys ready to order?" he asked.
"I think we're ready," Taylor looked around to all of us, and we nodded. After ordering our food, we began to talk again.
"So what else have you guys done in Miami?" Ed asks us, "Besides stealing guitars," we all laughed.
"Yeah," Taylor says, "Austin won't tell me anything about his life before going on tour."
"Nothing? Oh gosh, we have the weirdest adventures," I said.
"Like what?" Silena asked, leaning her elbows on the table.
"Any secrets about Austin?" Taylor asks, I grinned at them
"Oh, yeah," I giggled, "Austin used to be afra-" I was cut off by a hand over my mouth, Austin's hand.
"Ally!" he whined, his hand still over my mouth. "Don't tell them that!" He removed his hand.
"Okay, Okay" I put my hands up, "I won't tell them how you used to be afraid of umbrellas," I smiled innocently at him as Taylor, Silena, and Ed began to laugh.
"Gosh, what is this, pick on Austin day?" he muttered, I leaned up to his ear and whispered…
"I'm sorry, babe, please forgive me," I gave him a kiss on his jaw line, and he looked at me. I gave him my puppy dog eyes again, and I could tell he was trying so hard to be mad, but he cracked.
"Why can't I ever be mad at you!" he said. I shrugged.
"It's a gift," I smiled. He rolled his eyes, but leaned down to give me a peck.
"Awe," the girls said. We smiled at them, and then our food came. We ate and then stuck around for about 20 extra minutes, before paying the check and walking out.
"Okay," Taylor said, "You guys ready?" she asked Silena and I. We nodded.
"I'll see you later," I told Austin. He leaned down to give me a quick hug and a kiss.
"Have fun," he started to walk away with Ed, but turned back to shout, "GET SOMETHING BLACK!"
"WHY?"
"SO WE CAN MATCH!" he smiled, and turned around again. I rolled my eyes, but laughed and began to walk with Taylor and Silena.
"So, tell me about yourself," Silena said to me.
"Oh, um, I'm 17; I'll be a senior in the fall. I write songs for Austin-" Silena interrupted me with a question.
"You write Austin's songs? Oh gosh, you're so talented! I love those songs," she said. I grinned at her.
"Do you play any instruments?" Taylor asked.
"Uh, yeah, I play piano," I said. "We write most of our music on piano first, and then add the back track." We opened up the door to a store that looked really expensive judging from the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and the super polished granite floors. The dresses from the window display looked expensive, too.
"Get anything you want, Ally, I'm paying." Taylor told me. My mouth dropped.
"Oh gosh, no Taylor, I can't let you do that." I told her.
"I want to, consider it a- when's your birthday?"
"November."
"-an early birthday present." She finished.
"Taylor, that's really sweet of you, but you really don't have too. I'm sure I can find something in my budget," I told her. But she wouldn't budge. We argued for a couple of minutes.
"Okay!" I laughed, "Taylor you can buy me a dress, but only the dress."
"Deal!" she said. We began to look around.
"Aha!" we heard a voice say, we turned to see Silena pulling out a dress and holding it against her figure. "What do you guys think?" she asked.
"Cute!" Taylor said, I agreed. It was white, with neon colors wrapped around the neck and shoulders. "Red carpet dress?" Taylor asked. Silena nodded.
"I'll wear something else after my performance. You know I get to present for you?"
"Really? Wait a nomination or my performance?"
"Performance." Silena went into the fitting room to try her dress on, while Taylor and I looked around more. Glancing around, I spotted a blue dress buried in the rack. It was a tight fitting navy blue dress, that was long sleeve with a sheer back. It had a, what I would call, mosaic pattern to it.
"Hey, Taylor!" I called out. She came over, "I think this would be perfect for you," I threw it to her, and she caught it, looking at it before holding it up to her body and looking in the mirror next to her. Silena came out, looking fabulous in her dress.
"Taylor, you should totally try that one on," she called out. Taylor looked at herself for a second, before walking into a fitting room.
"So, what do you think, should I get this one?" Silena asked me.
"Oh definitely, it looks great on you!" I said.
"Awe, thanks!" She went back in to change while I looked around. I looked through the racks of dresses, before coming across a black one, just as Austin, had requested.
*LINE BREAK* Still Ally's POV
3 hours later, Silena, Taylor, and I walked into a Starbucks (3), with a load of bags in each arm. We had bought some other clothes in addition to our Billboard outfits.
"So, what's Austin like, as in boyfriend material?" Selena asked me as we sat down in the back, with our frappes.
"Are you asking me if Austin is a good boyfriend?" we all laughed.
"Yes! I mean, like, is he a romantic?"
"I guess, I mean, we don't really like to do really fancy dates or things like that, most of the time we just watch a movie and order pizza or something." I shrug.
"Yeah, uh huh," Taylor said, "watching" she used air-quotes around 'watching', I began to blush, luckily my phone began to vibrate, saving me from an awkward moment.
"Hello?" I said.
"Ally, when are you coming back?" I heard Austin whine over the other end of the phone. I rolled my eyes.
"Austin, we'll be back soon, we just went to Starbucks, and we'll be at the hotel in like, a half-hour." I said.
"But I miss you!"
"Yeah, yeah, I miss you too, I'll be back soon, I promise." I said.
"Okay," He dramatically sighed over the line. I rolled my eyes again, with a small laugh.
"Bye," I said.
"Love you, Als," My heart fluttered a little bit when he said it, and I unconsciously grinned a little more.
"Love you, too," I said, and hung up the phone. Taylor and Silena's were cooing.
"You guys are so cute!" Silena said.
"When did you guys say the big 'l' word?" Taylor asked.
"Yesterday, literally right before I got on the bus." I said, I was smiling even more, that my cheeks were starting to hurt, but I couldn't help it. Yesterday was just, it was a good day. A really good day.
"So that's why you were all giddy last night," Taylor teased, and I nodded.
"Awwww," Silena said.
We finished our drinks and then piled our bags back into our hands. We walked to two blocks to our hotel that was booked while we were shopping. Austin, me, and the crew were staying in the hotel, but Taylor would be in the house she had in L.A.
"Bye, Ally," they said, as I walked to the elevator. Austin texted me saying we were in Room 432. We, as in, Austin and I would be sharing a room. Let's see how that goes.
"Bye! Thanks so much for today," I shouted back to them.
"No problem," Taylor said.
"See you at the awards," Silena shouted. I got into the elevator, and walked to the room, before knocking on it. The door swung open to reveal a shirtless Austin, with wet hair. Of course, I had seen him shirtless plenty of times, but I still seem to get phased by him.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer," he teased, but reached to help me with my bags.
"Ha. Ha," I laughed sarcastically, "thank you." I sighed, when most of the weight was taken off of my arms.
"Geez, Als, what did you get," he said, while setting the bags on the desk against the wall.
"Oh just some bras, lingerie, tamp-"
"Ewwww, okay, girl stuff, don't need to hear it," Austin said, and placed his hands over his ears. I laughed at him, and walked over to him, taking his hands and pulling them away from his ears.
"I'm kidding, I just bought some new clothes and my outfit for the Billboard awards."
"Oh, can I see it?" He asked, and turned to go through one of the bags. I slapped his hand.
"No, you can wait to see it, like everybody else," I teased. He pouted, so I went up behind him and stood on my tiptoes, placing small kisses on his shoulder. He shivered, and then turned to face me. He wrapped his arms around my waist, and I readjusted my around his neck.
"Tease," he muttered, before slamming his lips against mine. I gasped at the sudden contact, and he took that opportunity to slide his tongue in. A battle for dominance resulted in him on top of me, on the bed. After a few minutes we pulled apart, breathing hard. Austin rolled off to the side, but kept him arms tight around my waist. Our bodies intertwined before we both ended up falling asleep. Maybe this sharing a room thing could work.
As long as my dad doesn't find out.
Ooooh, Austin and Ally getting it on, yeahhh! Hahah in case it wasn't clear, they DID NOT have sex. I will not write one of those because I find them very awkward to read, let alone write. So, uh…Chapter 16 will be uploaded most likely Monday or Tuesday night, so keep your eyes open for it! It will be the awards show! And then the Canada shows! :)
