Three hours passed and they finally finished getting things back to normal in the store. Dez and Austin plopped into the chairs. "That was exhausting. I can't do another thing." Dez said. "Me too." Austin murmured. Trish sat down on the couch putting her feet up on it. "For once, I actually agree with you Dez." Ally shook her head heading out. "Where are you going?" Austin asked. "To open the store and start work." She said and he nodded. "Don't overwork yourself!" Trish called out closing her eyes. Ally laughed to herself opening the store back up. She stayed down there watching over the area.
It was a bit of a slow day so she closed at lunch. She started cleaning the instruments. Austin smiled watching her. "You work too much." He said coming down the stairs. She smiled slightly. "I've just gotta do something to keep my mind off everything." She said. He went over to her. He leant down kissing her gently. Trish and Dez watched them quietly. They both looked at each other shocked. "You'll be more distracted if you were with us." He said softly. She smiled resting her head on his shoulder. He held her waist gently. "C'mon. Let's go up to Trish and Dez." She nodded. Trish and Dez ducked back into the room sitting down. The two of them went upstairs to the others. They walked in and Trish looked at them. Ally sat down on the piano seat and Austin sat back down in the chair. The four of them sat there talking to each other for a while sorting things for the upcoming concert that weekend.
Trish and Dez then made an excuse to leave the shop. They ran down the stairs and out of the shop. "I can't believe that actually happened." Trish said. "I know. Who knew that this concert work is so big." Dez said. Trish looked at him. "I'm talking about Austin kissing Ally!" He looked at her. "Oh. Well that's not so surprising. I mean Austin already loves her." He said walking off. Trish ran after him. "Since when?" she asked. "Uh, since forever." He said. Trish stared at him. "And he hasn't told me why?" She asked. "Cause he didn't want anyone to know." He said. "Then how do you know?" She asked crossing her arms. "Cause I overheard him talking to himself about it. Duh!" Trish shook her head. They headed off away from the area back to their houses.
Austin looked over at Ally who was busy writing something's down in her song book. Austin got up going over. He sat on the piano stool with one leg either side. He put his arm around Ally's waist. "Hey Alls." She looked at him closing her book. "Yes?" she said. "Are you busy tonight?" she shook her head. "So I can take you out tonight?" She smiled fixing her eyes on his. "I don't see why not." He smiled back at her. She leant over kissing his cheek. He turned his head capturing her lips on his. She wrapped her arms around his neck gently. He kept his hold on her pulling her closer by the waist. His tongue rang along her bottom lip. She gasped softly shocked and he took the opportunity and slid his tongue into her mouth. She groaned softly. He deepened the kiss running his hand through her hair keeping her from pulling away for a few more minutes. The two of them then pulled away needing to breathe again. Austin stroked her cheek gently making Ally blush more than she already was. "You're so cute like that." He said softly. She laughed softly leaning on him. She lay her head on his shoulder. He smiled resting his head on hers.
Later that night, the two of them headed off to one of the restaurants. He put his arm around her waist keeping her close to him. He wasn't going to let anything happen to her again. Not while he was around and able to stop them. He opened the door to the restaurant letting Ally in following her. He took her over to a quiet area sitting down on the couch seats. "More comfy." He said and Ally smiled. She sat down looking at the menu. The two of them ordered after a while. Austin moved up closer to her. "You wouldn't mind if I dedicated one of my songs to you at the concert would you?" He said softly. She looked at him. "Please?" He begged doing his puppy face. She smiled. "I don't mind. Just don't make it embarrassing." He smiled kissing her cheek. "That might be a bit hard. I don't have to do a lot to embarrass you." She laughed hitting him gently. They brought over their food after a while and they sat there eating it for a bit.
Once they finished Ally glanced outside. She tapped Austin's arm. He looked at her and she pointed outside. He looked up to see the shadow out there. He let out a growl getting up. She watched as he headed outside. The shadow watched Austin before turning and running off. Austin wasn't letting whoever they were getaway that easy. He ran after them before pushing them down to the ground. The shoved Austin off of them. "Austin!" Ally ran out to him. People in the restaurant looked up at them. The shadow looked at Ally. They hit her away from Austin. She hit the ground. She sat up slowly looking up to see Austin looking at her. He turned glaring at the shadow. He grabbed them. "You've taken this one step to far." He hissed. He punched them in the face. "No one touches her! Under any circumstances! She's mine and I don't care what you want!" The shadow got up going at Austin. The two of them hit the ground and fought around for a bit before Austin hit the shadow. He held them to the ground. There was blood on both of them. He pulled them up harshly shoving them against the wall. The cops showed up after having been called by some person who was watching. Austin stepped back and they turned around. A dark haired male looked at Austin and then glared over at Ally. The cops handcuffed him pulling him off to the car. "You're damn lucky he was here to save your pathetic life Allyson!" he hissed. Austin growled going for him only to be held back by Dez and Trish. "Easy Austin." Trish said softly. She turned him to Ally. He ran over to her pulling her into his arms. She touched the side of his face where the blood was wiping it off. He smiled holding her hand gently. "I'm fine Ally-cat." He purred softly. She leant on him more.
He lifted her up gently. "Let's get to my place." He said to the others. They nodded following him off. They got back to his place going down to the basement before his parents could see him. He sat down keeping Ally in his lap. "Hey Austin. What was all that about her being yours?" Dez said crossing his arms half smiling. Austin looked at them both and then Ally. "Well, she is. She's all mine." She smiled nuzzling him gently. "Guessed as much. You've always loved her." Dez said. Austin froze and Ally looked at him. He shrugged slowly at her. She smiled. "I love you too Austin." He stroked her hair gently. Trish cleaned the blood off of Austin. They then put the two mattresses together and the four of them lay down on them falling asleep. Austin kept Ally against him in his tight hold. He sighed softly. "Who was he?" He whispered. "I'll explain tomorrow. Promise." She said softly. He nodded. They fell asleep next to each other.
