HERE'S THE NEXT CHAPTER! :P I hope you guys don't mind the hopping back and forth from POV's I want you guys to know what's going on in both of their heads in this chapter (:
Ally's POV
"Hey Radio." I smiled passing the puppy that is growing too fast already.
It's been two weeks since New Years and the new year has been going great so far. Sort of..
Austin and I have gotten back to work which we were both happy and sad about. Happy because we both go back to doing what we love and sad, because vacation is over.
"Want to go wake him up again?" I smiled to Radio as I picked him up and carried him up the stairs.
It was 6:30 and we had to be at the studio at 7. We are working on Austin's second album and so far so good.
I put Radio on the bed for he could wake the blonde sleepy head.
"Ally. Stop." He groaned as Radio licked his face.
"It's not me." I laughed.
He opened his eyes and they widened as he wiped his face.
"Aww c'mon Radio." Austin said wiping his face.
"What time is it?" He asked.
"6:30." I said putting my wedges on.
"How are you so... Alive?" He said flopping back on the bed and closing his eyes.
I laughed and walked over to him. He needs to get up.
"Come on we have to go." I said sitting next to him.
"But I don't wanna." He complained like a two year old.
"We told jimmy that we would-"
"Austin!" I yelled as he pulled me across him and under the sheets. He straddled my hips to the bed as he tried to keep me down.
"Come on, we could sleep in." He said closing his eyes.
"What are you talking about? We have to go!" I said trying to escape him.
"I don't think so. Last time I checked jimmy let us have the whole day off today." He smirked.
"What? What are you talk-" I started but he grabbed his phone and showed me the message Jimmy sent him.
"He let us have the whole day off?" I asked confused as Austin nodded.
"But why?" I asked.
"Don't know, but I say we enjoy it!" He smiled as he got up and lifted me off the bed.
"Where are we going?" I asked laughing.
"You and I my lady, are going to the International House of Pancakes." He smiled.
"You couldn't say IHOP?" I laughed.
"My way sounds fancier." He laughed putting me down as he changed.
I don't know why Jimmy let us have the day off.. And also why I didn't get a text or email either. But I'm going to enjoy it.
I waited patiently as Austin got ready in the bathroom and his phone was beeping nonstop. Must be his fans.
Austin's POV
Alright so, we got to IHOP, we bump into Trish 'accidentally' Dez tells me he needs my help and Trish stalls Ally. Everything should go to plan. I hardly slept most of the night because of this. I spent all week planning it with Trish and Dez and Ally doesn't suspect a thing. I slid on my jeans and looked at myself in the mirror.
Wow. This is actually happening. I'm actually going to propose to the most beautiful, loving, amazing girl in the world. But what if this is too fast? I mean we haven't been together that long.. But we've none each other forever. What if she says no? What if-
"Austin? You okay?" I heard her perfect voice from the other side of the door.
I pushed my negative thoughts behind and opened the door.
"Yup. You ready?" I asked her with smile as she nodded her head.
We fed Radio and then headed out the door.
On our way there she bopped her head to the song on the radio as she stared out the window.
Every second that past made me even more nervous.
"We're just going to breakfast." I reminded my self quietly but Ally heard.
"What?" She asked.
"Nothing." I smiled pulling into the parking lot.
I looked around for Trish's car but there was no sign of it.
We sat in a booth and I texted Trish as Ally looked over the menu.
"They have bacon pancakes Austin." She said as I sent the last message.
"Are you okay?" She asked with worried eyes.
"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" I said trying to play it off.
"Well-"
Ally's POV
"Hi may I take your order?" A smiling waitress around our age cut me off as she turned to Austin.
"Umm yes. Ally are you ready?" He asked me as I nodded but the waitress didn't take her eyes off Austin. Great. Another fan that treats me like dirt.
"I'll have the short stack." He smiled to her with the eyes he always gets when we come here. What do you expect? They only sell pancakes. The guy could live here...
"And I'll have the-"
"Coming right up!" She smiled to Austin and walked off. Did she just?
"Excuse me!" Austin said nicely trying to get her attention.
She smiled brightly and walked back over.
"Yes?" She smiled.
"You forgot to take her order." He laughed pointing to me as I fake smiled.
"Ohh. Right. What do you want?" She asked me with a disgusted face. I turned to Austin who was on his phone and not paying attention at all.
"I'll have the short stack as well but with a side of pickles." I said still smiling to even though I shouldn't be.
She wrote it down and scurried of into the kitchen.
"I wonder why we got the day off." I said to Austin as he stared at his phone.
"Austin?" I asked.
"Huh?" He asked putting his head up.
"Sorry, I was reading." He smiled putting his phone away.
"You. Reading? What were you reading?" I laughed.
"Umm the.. Tweets of the fans." He smiled.
He's acting really weird but I just let it slide.
While we were waiting for the food a couple kids asked for pictures with Austin and some with me too.
Right when the food arrived so did...
"Hey guys!" Trish smiled brightly entering the diner with Dez.
"Hey what are you guys doing here?" I smiled.
Austin and I scooted over for they could sit next to us.
"Trish was too lazy to make anything so we came here." Dez smiled as Trish elbowed him.
"But there's an IHOP close to your house. Why did you come all the way over here?" I asked.
Their eyes widened and looked at each other then back to me. Okay.. So they're all acting weird now?
"Umm because this one. Has uhh.. Better syrup. Duh!" Trish fake laughed. Why is she fake laughing.
"You do know its the same syrup right?" I said as she rolled her eyes.
"Anyway! I was thinking about getting my hair cut at the salon and I also wanted to do my nails. Wanna come with?" She smiled at me. I don't really remember when was the last time I hanged out with Trish. Only. Trish.
" I'd love too." I smiled brightly but then remembered Austin.
"Wait. I can't. I was suppose to hang out with Austin today." I started.
"No!" Austin screamed.
"I mean. You should so go Ally. Go hang out with your best friend." Austin smiled.
Aww how sweet of up him.
"Okay then, but what are you gonna do?" I asked.
I waited for an answer until Trish elbowed Dez.
"OWW- Hey Austin, do you think you could help me film some shots today by the park of.. Birds." He stuttered. Oh Dez..
"Yeah! Sure!" Austin said excitedly.
Why are they acting so awkward? My side of pickles came and I knocked the the thoughts out of my head as I bit into the juicy pickle. Man I love these!
Austin's POV
"Dude could you make it anymore obvious?" I told Dez as we hopped in my car.
"Sorry I sort of panicked." He exclaimed.
"So, Ally's at the salon with Trish that would take like two hours. We need more time." I sighed.
"Ooo! I'll tell Trish to go shopping! That takes hours!" Dez exclaimed as I nodded.
"Good idea." I smiled.
Wait what? Dez. Good idea. Wow. Things do change..
"So what first?" I asked Dez.
"We should get everything and then start setting up." Dez said as I stepped on the gas.
Ally's POV
"Just do it!" Trish begged.
"I- I don't know Trish." I sighed.
"Come on! Austin will love it!" She smiled.
"What if he doesn't?" I sighed.
"He will!"
"But-"
"Ally!"
"Fine." I said throwing my hands up as Trish squealed.
"Yay! Your gonna look so good!" Trish smiled as she went to go sign us in with hair stylist.
I sat there looking at the picture of the flawless girl in the hair style book.
I can't believe I'm going threw with this.
I'm getting what they call an ombré. Trish only asked me like a HUNDRED times.
I don't even know if it would look good on me? My hair would stay brown but on the tips would be much lighter.
I want to get a hair cut too. Not the length but more of the style.
The lady called me over to an empty chair and I sighed standing up. I walked over and sat down.
"So your friend said you wanted an ombré?" The lady smiled.
"Yeah. I guess I do." I smiled.
"Your hair is gorgeous and so long, I'm sure it will look very nice. No need to worry." She smiled.
Really do I look that worried?
I'm not really good at masking my emotions.
"Would you like a cut?" She asked me.
I stared at my hair. It's up to my waist and has no layers or nothing it's simple and straight at the tips. The last time I cut it was in ninth grade and they just cut it straight across. It's time for a change. New year new me right?
"Can I keep the length but get layers?" I asked.
"You got it!" She exclaimed as she turned the chair around.
I hope it looks good.
Fingers crossed.
Austin's POV
"Can I get more pickles?" I asked the man as he looked at me in a strange way.
"Sure." He said putting more in a bag. My phone started ringing and I answered it.
"Hello?" I answered. I payed the guy and signaled a quick thank you.
"I don't know which flowers are hydrangeas! Why couldn't she like something simple like roses!" Dez exclaimed.
"Because hydrangeas are her favorite and roses remind her of funerals!" I retorted walking out of the store.
"Dude your girlfriend is weird." He muffled.
"What?"
"Nothing!" He exclaimed.
"Just come in the flower shop." He said and then hung up.
I put the pickles in the car which is already loaded with candles and lights and other items.
I locked the car and made my way over across the parking lot where the flower shop is.
I walked in to see Dez fighting with a man that looked like the owner.
"Cinquenta!" The man yelled.
"Come on man I only have twenty!" Dez cried.
"Dame las flores!" He yelled snatching the flowers away from Dez.
"Woah. Dude what's going on?" I said interrupting.
"This guy keeps saying sinchuenca! Whatever that means.. He won't sell me the flowers!" Dez sighed. I stared at my weird bestfriend then back to the man.
"Sorry sir. Here you go." I said handing the man a one hundred dollar bill. I took the flowers and left hauling Dez with me.
"Alright what's next?" I asked Dez.
"The suns almost setting lets go setup." Dez said as I agreed.
Ally's POV
"Get it!" She exclaimed.
"Trish what am I going to do with a five hundred dollar dress?" I laughed.
"Trust me you'll find use of it." She smirked.
"But-"
"Ally come on just wear it! In fact wear that tonight." She smiled.
"Tonight? For what? Wear this while Austin and I watch the Lion King." I laughed as she looked at me weirdly.
"He loves that movie." I explained.
"Just wear it for Austin can see your transformation." She smiled.
"That's silly." I laughed.
"Come on! Just do it!" She pleaded again.
"Fine." I sighed.
"Yes!" She cheered.
I stared at my reflection in the dressing room. Wow. I really do look different. Good different. My hair turned out great. Well that what Trish said..
I like it though. It feels right.
The dress I'm wearing doesn't suit me. I feel silly in it. I don't think I can pull it off. It was tight and short. It was... Something a person that's NOT me should wear.
But of course my best friend made me get it and we are now walking out of the mall and I have it on. I'm getting ALOT of stares, and not the stares I get when I'm around Austin because he's famous. I'm getting stares from guys.. Which feels weird now..
"People are staring." I said from the corner of my mouth to Trish.
"Of course they are, you look hot." She said snapping her fingers.
"Yeah.. I'm changing." I said walking to the direction if the bathroom but Trish stopped me.
"No your not." She said with determined eyes.
"Just trust me. You have to look good tonight." She smirked.
What does that mean?
Austin's POV
"You think she'll like it?" I said staring at what I planned on the beach.
"Dude she'll love it." Dez reassured me.
"Thanks for helping me man." I said to him.
"No problem. This Is a big deal man, are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.
"Are you trying to give me second thoughts? Because its not happening." I laughed.
"No. I'm just saying, this means it's Ally. It's Ally now and forever." He said as we walked back to the house.
"You don't think I know that? I want her to be mine. More than anything." I smiled.
We arrived at my house for I could shower and get changed before Ally gets here. Once I got the text from Trish saying they were five minutes away I made my way back down to the beach.
Ally's POV
"What is Dez doing outside?" I asked Trish as we pulled up to the house.
"I. Don't. Know." She said slowly.
We got out and Dez quickly hopped into the car as I got out.
"Follow the lights." He smirked to me as Trish squealed and they were off down the road.
"Wait what?" I said to no one in particular. Well this was a weird day..
I looked across the street where the sand was and saw a path. A path of lights. I walked over and saw that the lights were candles and they created a path all the way down the beach. Was all this planned? Is it our anniversary? No. My birthday? No. What's going on?
I smiled as I made my way down the beach in the middle of all the candles.
I reached the end where I saw a full picnic on the floor with candles all surrounded. There was a sheer canopy over it that was covered in luminescent lights. It was perfect. I smiled wide and that's when I saw him. He was staring out at the ocean. He must of heard me because he turned around.
"What's all this?" I smiled.
"The reason why we didn't go into the studio." He smiled walking towards me.
Austin's POV
I walked toward her voice but my mouth dropped when I saw her.
She looked... She looked... Wow.
"Do you not like it?" She asked right away.
"Trish made me, but I could dye it back I knew this was a-"
"No. I love it." I smiled.
"You look beautiful." I said as I planted a sweet kiss on her lips.
"So what is all of this for?" Ally asked looking around with a smile.
"What? I can't so something romantic for my smokin' girlfriend." I smirked winking at her.
She laughed and I could see her blush.
"Come on, the food is not gonna eat itself." I said as we sat down on the picnic I planned.
"Are those?" She said pointing at the pickles.
"Mhmm organic." I laughed.
Ally's POV
I can't believe Austin planned this whole day out for this. He's just too sweet.
"Thanks for doing this Austin I loved it." I smiled at him as we lay together looking up at the stars on the beach. I haven't stopped smiling.
Since I saw him standing by the water my stomach has been doing flips ever since. No ones ever done this for me before, but then again no one has ever treated me like Austin does before because no one is like him. No one is like us. I just keep falling in love with him all over again.
"Good." He smiled.
"Let's take a walk on the pier." He smiled standing up as I agreed.
We walked on it and memories came flooding back.
The moments we had when we were kids. Running around with Austin.
We walked hand in hand. We walked all the way to edge without saying anything we stared out to the ocean and saw the way the moon reflected off the water. I wouldn't mind staying like this forever. I smiled thinking of the most precious memory I have on this pier. I guess Austin as was thinking the same thing because he brought it up.
"I still can't believe you actually sat on the edge with me." He laughed.
"I was terrified." I admitted. He took a deep breathe in and turned to me.
"Ally that day we promised to always be best friends and we promised to become famous together." He said as I nodded. Looks like our promise really did come true.
He grabbed my hands and his face looked so nervous.
"So I promise to always love you every moment, now and forever." He said getting down on one knee.
OH MY GOD.
"I think about where we'll be in the future and all I know is I want you next to me. I love you and everything about you. I love your love for pickles and the way you crinkle your eyebrows when you look at me like I'm nuts. I love how you still put up with me even though I drove you crazy when we were kids." He said making me laugh as tears streamed down my face.
" I know it might seem too soon but when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." He said taking out a box from his pocket. I started crying, laughing, and my head was spinning.
"And I also know no one has ever loved anyone as much as I love you." He said his voice croaking.
"So Ally Dawson... Will you marry me?" he asked as I already started nodding my head.
"Yes!" I exclaimed as he smiled wide and picked me up and spun me around.
Review! I'll try updating ASAP!
