Chapter 15

The day came that we had to leave to go to Mike's wedding. The plane flight was late evening so I had a whole day to pack and get ready, honestly I had nothing much to pack, first because we were staying for maximum five days and second my wardrobe consisted of a little amount of clothes. Only thing I was worried about was that I didn't really have anything to wear for the wedding, I had only two dresses and they were both black. I hope I will be able to buy a proper dress before the ceremony.

After usual school day I went to work in the Sonic Boom. The day was pretty quiet, I was pretty bored and annoyed of all the customers who didn't even know themselves what they want. After couple of minutes, while walking in the street, on my way home my phone started ringing in my bag. I pulled it out and answered.

"Hello?" I said.

"I'm bored." That was the answer, it was Austin of course.

"Well what can I do? Go hang out with Dez…"

"No he's editing his new short movie and he says I'm bothering him while he's working." He said slightly pounding.

"Ok, what time is it?" I asked.

"It's almost seven."

"See I have to pack I don't have time to entertain you." I said seriously.

"You have to pack? And how much do you need to pack? Defiantly not five hours." I could just hear a smirk growing on his face. He got me.

"No, I don't need five hours, but have you packed yourself?"

"Yes!" he said, I could just feel his smirk growing even bigger.

"Ok, I'll come over yours with my stuff and we can go to the airport from there."

I gave up, and said "okay"

Soon after the talk with Austin I got home, once I entered the house I went upstairs dropped my bad and changed into something comfortable and went back downstairs. Next ten minutes I spent sitting at the kitchen table with a glass of cold water in front of me.

Soon I heard a car honk. I got up, opened the front door and went outside. There I saw Austin getting his luggage out of his mother's car.

"You made your mother drive you here?"

"Hello to you too Alls." He said ignoring my previous sentence.

"Why did you make your mother drive you here, you could have called me or taken taxi or you could have walked. You don't live that far away."

"It's okay Ally, I really didn't mind." Said Vi while going out of the driver's side.

"Why are you arguing Alls, I'm already here anyways."

"Yeah okay, just get your stuff inside." I said turning around, he followed me inside the house. He hugged his mom and kissed her.

"Love you honey, be careful and take care."

"mooom, I'm old enough, I can take care of myself."

"Ally keep an eye on him will you?" vi said laughing slightly.

"I will." I said joining her and laughing along.

"Bye Violet, we'll be back soon." After that she suddenly hugged me, it was really unexpected and I tensed up a little bit, but soon relaxed.

She let go of me and went out of the door.

"Bye kids." She called out and soon we heard a car driving off.

Austin turned to me smiling and said: "Soo, what are we going to do?" he was excited. I swear I saw a kid in him more than an 18 year old.

"I don't know, maybe we can watch TV or some movies? I have no idea." I said shrugging.

"Ok, we can watch a movie."

"Choose something and I'll pack, I'll be back soon." I walked upstairs in my room and opened the wardrobe and looked around. I pulled out my dusted unused suitcase from under the bed and started putting things in it. I put couple of shirts, jean shorts, a floral dress and some everyday things.

When I finished packing I was out of breath. I laid down in my bed and relaxed for couple of minutes, but then I suddenly remembered that Austin was here so I went back down.

When I looked around the living room I didn't find Austin so I walked to the kitchen. He had a bowl of popcorn made and put on the kitchen table and was taking soda out of the fridge. He turned around and when he saw me he smiled.

He said "oh Alls! that was pretty quick, did you pack already?"

"Yeah and I'm tired."

"Well, that's good we have more time to watch movies." He said excited.

I grabbed popcorn and he grabbed drinks and glasses and we entered the living room. I just flopped on the coach and let him choose the movie he wanted. It took him couple of minutes to choose the movie from the rack in the corner of the room, but he finally got one he wanted and plopped the dvd in to the player. I didn't even need to look at the screen I already knew that he picked the Monster Corporation. I didn't object because it is in fact one of my favorites. After that we watched horrible bosses. I was actually surprised that he didn't pick some horror or action movie, but I was happy because I finally could enjoy a movie night with him.

After couple more popcorn bowls and soda it was time for us to leave. I checked the house that all the lights were out, all the windows and doors closed and I was soon ready to leave.

I was still worried and didn't want to leave without warning in case my dad came back, so I just took a piece of paper and scribbled down a note for my father.

"I'll be gone for some time you have the keys for the house and the shop and here are the car keys. (I left the keys next to the note.) no need to worry about me, any questions just call me, love you dad."

When I came downstairs Austin had already called for taxi and he said that the taxi would be here in couple of minutes. I checked my bag for things I would need like my phone keys wallet and stuff Austin did the same and soon we were entering the airport.

I was a little bit nervous because it wasn't that often that I had to fly and I'm afraid of heights. I think Austin saw that I was nervous and took me by my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. His gesture surprisingly calmed me and made my body much more relaxed. We were about fifteen minutes early so after we went through all the gates and checkups we took seats in the waiting area. I was tired from staring at the screen for last four hours and I closed my eyes and relaxed. I was forced to open my eyes again by Austin. I was slightly lost when I came back to world but I soon came back to my senses. Austin told me that it was time to board on the plane.

We had a little argument on who would seat on the seat next to the window which I won with my puppy dog eyes. We settled down.

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. I want to welcome you aboard of the flight from Miami Florida to Los Angeles California. Our flight will take 5 hours. we are expecting a fairly smooth flight today. we thank you for choosing to fly with us today and we hope you enjoy your flight."

The captains voice died down and slowly the plane started to more and I got more and more nervous. Again Austin game my hand a reassuring squeeze while I closed my eyes. For couple of minutes my whole body was tensed up but my body relaxed in a second when I heard Austin's voice.

"Alls relax we're already up in the air there's nothing to be afraid of."

Time passed and we were still up in the sky, it was silent inside and I couldn't find a thing to occupy myself with, plus my lack of experience in flying wasn't letting me relax. I tried everything. I played with my phone listened to some music and even read a couple of pages of the book i was reading, but i still couldn't relax and take a nap. So i gave up and decided to go to bathroom to take a breath and splash some cold water on my face.

"Austin, I'm going to bathroom, move a little so i can get out of my seat" i said to half asleep Austin who was leaning on my shoulder.

"Mmmm... ok" he said and sat up a little to let me move and once i managed to free myself went back to sleep.
I was walking to the bathroom when I bumped into someone. He was getting back into his seat l, bit i didn't see him because I wasn't really paying attention.

"I'm so sorry!" I said a little embarrassed.

"Oh no worries haha relax." He said and looked at me.

"Ally is that you?" I was surprised that he knew my name, because he looked nothing like anyone i knew.

"Excuse me?"

"Its me, Elliot, we used to be friends until I moved." He said smiling.

Then it clicked he was Elliot my crush from about three years ago, but grown up without braces and glasses. He looked handsome and really hot.
Instantly my face brightened and he embraced me into a tight hug. I hugged him back. After a couple of minutes he let go.

"How have you been, I haven't seen you for so long." I haven't seen him for maybe three years since he moved to California with his family, but his grandparents stayed in Miami.

"I was visiting my grandparents, but grandpa isn't feeling that well and he wanted to see me. What about you where are you going?"

I got slightly nervous. I don' think Austin would have wanted me to tell Elliot about his situation with his parents. So I made up the best story I could.

"I'm with Austin actually, we're going to visit his family relatives."

"Oh he's with you." He said with a fake smile.

For some reason those two never got with each other, they always fought and were a lot like enemies.

"Well maybe we should exchange numbers, meet up some time when you'll be around."

"Yeah sure." He said and we exchanged numbers…

He took the phone from my hands and typed in his number then gave me his phone and I did the same.

"it was nice meeting you again Ally. See you" He said smiling

"Well… see you." I said laughing a bit and hugged him. He hugged me back. We let go, he sat on his place again and I went to bathroom.

I was head over heels for this guy but somehow those butterflies that fluttered in my stomach a long time ago vanished and were replaced with nothing, just a slightly unpleasant feeling.

From what I saw his character hasn't changed too much but he didn't seem as pleasant to be around as it was years ago. His smile wasn't as honest and sincere as it used to be.

When I went back to my seat I was met with a slightly alarmed Austin.

"Where were you I was worried!" He said and hugged me. I raised an eyebrow.

"We're in a plane, where could I go?"

"I don't know, but don't leave without warning next time, okay."

"I told you I was going to bathroom, but you were out like a light. Probably didn't hear anything." We sat on our seats and continued talking.

"Anyways guess who I met in the plane."

"Who, I have no idea."

"Remember Elliot. The guy with braces, glasses and spiky brown hair?"

"Oh him?" He said bitterly.

"We promised to meet up sometime. We exchanged numbers." Despite everything I was still excited, I met my old friend.

He just grumbled and rolled his eyes in response.

"Give me your phone for a second Alls." He said after about half an hour from my "disappearance"

"Why do you need my phone?"

"Just for a minute Alls." He said and smiled.

"Okay, okay, whatever." I didn't really give second thought to why he wanted my phone and instead focused on the book I was reading, but when I saw him going through my contacts I panicked. I leaned over to snack the phone from him but he leaned further from me.

Soon I was practically laying on him, but he still wouldn't give me the phone.

"Austin give me the phone, please don't delete the number." I started whining.

"Nope, I'm gonna delete it and you won't stop me." He turned his face from my phone screen and looked me straights in the eyes. My breath hitched in my thought and I swallowed hard, totally shocked. I looked deep into his eyes and examined his orbs that looked extremely beautiful. Light brown mixed with yellow with flocks of gold. I moved my gaze from his eyes to his lips and I felt him do the same.

We were both in a kind of a trance, slowly leaning in when we heard a friendly sound of stewardess.

"Would you like to have anything?" We both parted in a second and looked up.
Austin coughed and straightened in his seat.

"Alls you want something?"

"No thanks." I said smiling slightly, embarrassed, my cheeks reddening

After the stewardess left Austin gave me my phone back.

"Here's your phone and you don't need his number."

"Austinnn... why would you do that?"

He didn't give me and answer he just turned his head away from me and put his headphones on.

To be honest I wasn't really angry at Austin, that's why I didn't put a fight against him, but still he was jealous for no reason.

Finally late at night we got to the Airport of California. It was night and I was sleepy and tired. Only thing I wanted was a fluffy, comfy bad.

The driver was waiting for us with a clipboard in his hand, there written Mr. Moon. We put our luggage in the car.

The car ride was quiet, I think the change of neighborhood and place had an effect on us, but it wasn't awkward it was just pleasant, soothing silence.

In the middle of the drive Austin's mom called asking how the flight went and all that. They talked for some time and then he hung up. I didn't' want to bother him with any questions, so I just let the silence take over.

We were taken to the guest house; which apparently was reserved by Austin's father. It was near the beach.

The driver dropped us in front of a huge three story house.

We walked up the front porch and Austin rang the doorbell. A short middle aged woman with slightly wavy dark blond hair opened the door.

"Oh Mr. Moon we've been expecting you. Come inside! And you are?" She asked me.

"I'm Allyson Dawson, but call me Ally." I said smiling.

"Nice to meet you I'm Rosie; The maid."

"I'll take you to your room, leave the luggage here it will be taken to your room shortly after."

We followed her to the second floor of the house.

"This is your room, there's bathroom behind that door and closet behind the other one. The doors lead to the balcony. Have a good stay." She smiled and left.

We looked around. The room was quite large with kind of orange yellow wallpaper which was not very dark, but not very light it was perfect. The thing

I noticed last was that there was only one bad. I think Austin did too, because next thing I heard was.

"There's only one bad?" I didn't have time to answer when the door opened and a man entered struggling with our luggage. Austin went and took it from him.

"Excuse me, but are you sure this is the room where we'll be staying?"

"Yes Mr. Moon wasn't sure if anybody would be accompanying you so he only saved one room for you. I'm really sorry but there are no more spear rooms left all of them are occupied with guests."

"Okay" Austin said.

"I'm gonna leave now." With that he closed the door behind.

"I'm so tired; I'm going to change in the bathroom." I said yawing.

"Yeah I'm tired too. I'll change in the room" I took some clothes from the suitcase and went to the bathroom.

I changed then brushed my teeth and went out again.

Austin had already changed into some shorts and he wasn't wearing any shirt. I didn't tell him to put something on, because it was pretty hot I myself was wearing pretty short shorts and a plain t-shirt.

We laid in the bed from different sides.

"I'm going to lay a pillow in the middle, if you want to, that way you'll be more comfortable." Said Austin..

"Okay..." I said my eyes already closing.

I just laid in the bed for some time, thinking. We were here, but meeting Mike was still in front of us. Also that moment in the plane interrupted by the stewardess, were we going to kiss? And my encounter with Elliot.

With those thoughts I slowly drifted to deep, very needed sleep...

It's a filler chapter and horribly written, I'm really sorry, that's all I've got. I don't have internet at home and I somehow managed to find wifi in the park near so I'm updating when I can. I have no idea when will it be fixed.

I decided to go with California, yeah, use your imagination I have no idea how it is there haha. There might be some mistakes in time and it might seem unreal in some parts and I'm really sorry for that I'm also really sorry for the mistakes :(
