We slept on the roof that night.
I didn't think it would be enjoyable at all, but it actually wasn't that bad. The air felt nice and calm, despite the party raging below us. Austin was asleep long before me, and I just sat there and ran my fingers through his hair until I fell asleep as well.
I don't guess I should have been surprised when I woke up and Austin wasn't beside me... Again. I sigh and sit up, trying not to be frustrated. This time I'm just gonna leave, I'm not going to look for him in the house where he is, no doubt, cleaning up other people's trash. I crack my neck, trying to loosen the stiffness, and stretch before carefully standing up and climbing into the room. I groan when I notice that I'll have to strategically step over a group of people passed out in the room, and I do so quietly. I check to make sure the coast is clear in the hall before climbing down the steps and making a break for the door.
I'm nearly out the door when I hear a familiar voice behind me. "Wait up, Sweetheart." I internally groan and turn around, coming face-to-face with a hungover Austin. He leans against the hallway doorframe and sighs. "I'm sorry about what you had to see... Last night, I mean... With Cass-" I hold up my hand to silence him.
"Spare the details," I sigh, "it's fine." Even though I want to vomit every time I think about it.
He shrugs. "Good. Are you going home?"
I nod.
"Oh... I was hoping maybe you'd stick around so that I could take you out for lunch... To make up for last night, I mean." He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly, and I'm kind of in shock.
"What, like a date?" I say it before thinking.
He scowls. "No, Sweetheart. No offense, but I don't date girls like you. In fact, I don't really date at all."
I shrug, trying not to look offended. "Fine. I'll stick around." I walk past him and find a seat on the couch, leaning back and resting my eyes until Austin finishes cleaning up red Solo cups and beer stains, which takes longer than I thought it would. We walk outside together, and Austin motions for me to get in his car. I oblige.
He starts it up, and I smirk, remembering a conversation we once had in my dream. I decide to say it. "Are you aware that we have the exact same car?"
"No." He says with a chuckle, the exact same chuckle from the dream. My ears ring with the sound I have come to love, and I wish I got to hear it more often.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"You ask too many questions. I'll add that to The List of Things I've Learned About You." He sighs, and I huff and lean my head against the window. It's hard to accept that this is the real Austin Moon. We end up going to Panera Bread, a place I never would have expected Austin to like to eat, but I love it so I don't question him. The silence between us as we eat isn't as uncomfortable or awkward as I thought it would be.
When he finishes, I'm still not finished, but he talks anyways. "Where's your dorm at?" His question almost makes me choke, and I try to buy some time to think of a lie by chewing slowly.
I'm finally forced to swallow, and I speak. "Uhh-" I'm cut off by the ringing of his cell phone, and I silently thank God as he answers it.
"Hey." He says. "Yeah, sorry... Okay, okay, I'll be there soon... Yes, I promise... Okay, bye." He hangs up the phone, and I raise an eyebrow. "Dez." He says with a sigh, and I nod. I take the last bite of my food before we leave.
"Guess I've gotta take you back the the frat house, huh?" He says.
"How else am I going to get my car?" I say with a laugh and a roll of my eyes, and he just shrugs. We make it back to the frat house, and I get out of his car.
"Thanks for lunch." I tell him, and he shrugs. I close the door and dig my car keys out of my pocket, and I hear the window on his car roll down. I turn around, waiting for him to speak.
"Thanks for putting up with my shit. I'll also add that to The List of Things I've Learned About You." He tells me, and I decide to mock him by just shrugging, but as I walk to my car, I can't help but let the small smile find it's way onto my face.
