Austin's POV
I wake up this morning spooning Ally and pulling her even closer to me, if that was even possible. I wrap my strong arms around her and I feel her start to stir in her sleep, I kiss her cheek to try and wake her up. We had a very late night/morning, so I really don't want to disturb her. If she wakes up.. I want her to wake up on her own. I feel like I need to pinch myself and notice that while Ally was stirring she put her left hand over my arm and I look at the engagement ring on her hand. Wow, it is really nice. I did do a great job. This is all real, Ally's officially mine. I still can't believe it, I mean I can but it just feels all so surreal. After our romantic time in the jacuzzi and shower Ally and I dried off and I had her jump onto my back naked and carried her to the bed. She was giggling the whole time because neither of us thought to wrap our towels back around us. When we got to the bed, I put her down and as promised I made sweet love to her just like I had promised. God, I love her so much. I feel her starting to stir again, as I'm looking down at her sleeping form her eyes flutter open.
She stretches and moans, "Mmm good morning fiance."
She turns to face me and I look at her left hand and she does the same, puts it up a little more so we can both see it, " I don't think I'm ever going to get tired of looking at this beautiful ring. You know this ring symbolizes a lot Austin: your commitment to me, your promise to me, it's everything."
"Ally you're everything to me. I'm glad that you love your ring, but everything you just said is why I proposed to you." I kiss her hand gently, she pulls my chin up so I can get a better look at her. I kiss her with the a sweet and genuine light kiss just filled with love.
I guess I've been staring at her a while, when she snaps me out of my thoughts, I realize that she's staring back. "Why are you staring at me?" She asks, "I look like a mess right now and I'm sure I have Jane of the jungle's sex hair."
"You look perfect." I say back to her simply and sincerely. She blushes, after all these years I can still make her blush. I love this effect that I have on her. She looks at me again, "You're doing it again!"
"What?" I ask seriously out of it, finally notice that she's snapping her fingers in front of my face to try and get me to focus.
"I love you." It's moments like this that I've learned to cherish the most. "I love you baby."
Her eyes start to sparkle, "I love you too, it looks like you're going to be stuck with me for the next 50+ years."
I grin, "I'm absolutely cool with that. As much as I would love to stay in bed with you all day or at least until check out. We are going to record our song this afternoon."
And as if on cue, my cell starts to beep on the nightstand. "It's Trish. We're going to Ramone Records today at 3:00p.m. to record our song, apparently Ronnie & Jimmy have a surprise for us as well."
"Did she tell them we're engaged?"
"I'll tell her not to baby. I'll tell her that we want to tell and show them in person. That way after we record our song or before whichever works they can do a press release and tell the world we're getting married." Ally nods her head at me, Trish texts back. "I won't say a word. See you crazy lovebirds soon. Go back to sleep and I'll call you guys in a few hours. We can't have your voices too tired to record."
"What did Trish say?" I show her the text Trish sent me, say, "Well orders are orders. Back to bed Miss Dawson." She lays back down and snuggles herself into me.
"Same goes for you too Mr. Moon." I lay back down and kiss her shoulder.
A few hours later...
I hear my phone ringing, spring up to get it, pick up on the second ring. "Hey Trish. We'll get up and get ready now." I hang up the phone with her, "Hey babe, so I need to run down to the car to get our bag with our clothes in it. I was a little too drunk and tired to bring it in last night." I change back into my clothes from last night and ran down quickly to the car and stealthily I might add ,so I didn't get mobbed leaving the hotel to get our bags out. I packed undergarments, a dress for Ally, her favorite wedges and shorts a tee-shirt and sneakers for myself and other necessities hygiene related along with my cologne and her favorite perfume. I take the elevator back up to the room and swipe the key.
"Baby! I'm back with our stuff!" I call out to her.
"I'm just doing my hair in the bathroom and starting on my makeup that I kept in my clutch from last night. I'll be out in a minute handsome." She calls back out to me.
She comes out and I hand her the bag, "Oh, and I got you something else. Close your eyes."
She pulls out a box and opens it to find an infinity symbol necklace with diamonds. She gasps loudly, "Austin, it's beautiful. You really shouldn't have."
"I did. Yes, I should." I open the clasp to Ally's necklace, put my arms over her neck to put the necklace in place. She touches her neck and says, "I love it. I'll never take it off." She decides to go through the bag I packed, pulls out an orange sundress she loves, her other things and puts them on. I get dressed too. I look at the clock, see that it's 2:00 p.m.
"We have to leave and check out in about a half hour in order to be on time to record babe. Whoa! You look stunning in that dress."
She grins at me, "You're the one who picked it out. It's your favorite color, one of your favorite dresses on me...It was probably a no brainer for you. I'll bet you went with Trish or Dez to my house, grabbed my things." I just smile because she knows me that well.
We finish get ready, grab something quick to eat and head over to Ramone Records.
Ally's POV - Ramone Records
"Ally! Austin! So happy that you guys made it. Are you-" Jimmy and Ronnie both stop in unison.
"Austin! Is that an engagement ring on Ally's hand?" Jimmy asks looking directly at both of us.
Austin pulls my hand up to kiss it and so Ronnie and Jimmy can get a better look at it.
"IT'S TRUE! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!" Austin and I both shout in excitement.
Ronnie and Jimmy look at us with huge smiles on their faces. Jimmy pulls us in for a hug,
"I knew that you guys would end up together at the end of it all. Ronnie and I need to go make some calls, you guys need to record and after you record your song. Have Trish or Dez come find us when you are finished. We have a surprise for you, we're just waiting on something. Oh and guys, Congratulations!"
"Congratulations Austin and Ally! I'm really happy for you as well."
I look at Austin, "Well that went really well."
"Are you ready to go record our song babe? I can't wait to see what the the song completely together!"
"Trish, Dez, Ronnie and Jimmy decided to title it Falling in Love."
Austin takes our interlocked hands and we walk down the corridor to our recording studio room. There are sound technicians in the room managing the switch board. Austin and I walk up to our stands with sheet music on it, the lyrics. Someone switches on the mic from the other side of the glass, says,
"Alright Ally, we're opening with you singing first. Ready!"
Austin and I nod our heads to show that we're ready to start recording.
Falling in Love: Ironik feat. Jessica Lowndes
[Ally]
I'm turning the pages
just wanna be in love forever & ever
you & me always together, and I know
I don't wanna cry no more, I can't no more
feels just like I'm falling in love
feels just like I'm falling in love, in love
feels just like I'm falling in love
My body is turned right now and Austin and I are facing each other as I'm singing the beginning of the song and chorus to him.
[Verse 1: Austin]
listen, I didn't wanna fall in love, it's too soon
I'm falling in love, and it's all 'cause of you
& I don't wanna fight it, I kinda like it
love rocks & baby you too
He smiles into his rap/verse looking into my eyes during this part.
look how you got me feeling
Ima wait for this love, no sleeping
He didn't sleep much, honestly neither did I when we were fighting and not together.
but loves here to stay, so don't leave it
& let it flow until we get seasick, seasick
they say I look better with love
We all look better with love, when we're in love, that is.
but love looks better with us
I've met girls around the world
but you're the only one I trust
cause Ima' stay true to the end too
you're not just my girl, my best friend too
I mouth to him, "You're mine too."
I'm glad your ex left you
left room for me to accept you; l o v e
[Chorus: Ally]
I'm turning the pages
just wanna be in love forever & ever
you & me always together, and I know
I don't wanna cry no more, I can't no more
feels just like I'm falling in love
feels just like I'm falling in love, in love
feels just like I'm falling in love, love
feels just like I'm falling in love
[Verse 2: Austin]
look, got me falling, falling
& this chick got me talking, talking
I didn't wanna stand for love
but somehow she's got me walking, walking
huh, & I would run for love, have an election
women supporting, supporting
put a banner up, me & her
gunna' fight for this love with no stalling, stalling
we never had a love like this,
you wanna feel my light kiss?
you eternally feel like this
so let it in, don't try, fight it, please
I need you to be my star
so when you shine I know where you are
I'll always wanna feel your heart,
forever & ever, whenever we're apart
As Austin finishes this verse he continues to look into my eyes and interlocks our hands.
[Chorus: Ally]
I'm turning the pages
just wanna be in love forever & ever
you & me always together, and I know
I don't wanna cry no more, I can't no more
feels just like I'm falling in love
feels just like I'm falling in love, in love
feels just like I'm falling in love, love
feels just like I'm falling in love
[Austin]
they say I look better with love
but love looks better with us
I've met girls around the world
but you're the only one I trust
they say i look better with love
but love looks better with us
I've met girls around the world
but you're the only one I trust, I swear
[Ally]
I'm turning the pages
just wanna be in love forever & ever
you & me always together, and I know
I don't wanna cry no more, I cant no more
feels just like I'm falling in love, love
feels just like I'm falling in love
We finish the last verse and Austin gives me a sweet kiss on the lips.
Austin's POV
After recording the track for our cd's for the fifth time. Jimmy and Ronnie come back into the studio, talk into a mic while Ally and I are still in the sound booth.
"Austin! Ally! That track is sounding amazing. I think that it's really going to be a hit." Ronnie says sounding extremely pleased with us.
"Now, about your surprise."
"Well, what is it?" We both inquire our managers.
"Ronnie and I just got off the phone with Rihanna's manager and record label." Austin and I right now are at the edge of our seats right now.
"We sent her a video of you singing one of your songs and told her that you love her song I Hate That I Love You, and that we'd like to know if she would let you and your fiance Austin do a cover of it?"
"She said yes! It turns out that she finds Auslly adorable, then again who doesn't."
He chuckles while Ally and I just look at each other like lovesick fools and start to blush, then it registers what he just said.
"Shut up! Are you serious? Rihanna wants Austin and I to do a cover of her song! That's seriously amazing!" Ally is pretty much squealing in excitement right now.
"And it's okay with her record label and everything? We don't have to worry about copyright infringement." I chime in.
"Ronnie, Ipad please." He hands it over to Jimmy.
He turns on Skype, before we know it Rihanna's gorgeous face is on the screen. She speaks, "Hi Ronnie! Hi Jimmy! Hi Ally! Hi Austin!"
"Omg is this real? Can someone pinch me?" Ally says, I hold her steady because I'm worried that she's going to faint. She admires Rihanna.
"It's real Ally. I listened to your voice and you sound great, you have the right tone to do my song justice for a cover. Your fiance over there I can see that he loves you, I also know that it hasn't always been easy between you guys. Before you say anything, yes I do read the tabloids. I know all about of your distractions and the people who kept you apart. Anyways, the message behind my song is that myself and Ne-yo hate how much that we love and need each other like we need each other's oxygen in order to breathe. I'm guessing that's how you two feel about each other or felt when you were with those other people. You try to pretend and act like you are happy with them when really you just wanted to be with each other. The love shown in the song is conflicted, but is absolutely unconditional and I know that you and Austin can convey that message. So, yes please do a cover. I'm sure Ne-yo will be thrilled as well once I get a hold of him later today. Also, Ronnie, Jimmy I want to be the first to hear and approve it. If I love it, you guys can perform the cover at your concerts on tour if you want to."
I look to Austin, and he looks back at me just stunned as well, once we regain our composure, "Thank you Rihanna. We would love to do the cover of I Hate That I Love You and you will be the first to hear the recording."
"We promise." Austin chimes in.
"We won't disappoint you."
" I'm sure that you guys won't. Well I have to go get ready now. Hair and Makeup needs me for my next music video. I hope to hear from you guys soon."
"You will."
"Well, you heard her. I'm sure that you guys are tired. Why don't you take a mini break and grab something to eat?"
"Ronnie's right. Do you want to record the cover today? I'm sure that it won't take much longer."
Ally and I go grab something to eat, Trish and Dez meet us at Sonic Boom in the practice room.
"Guys! We have something huge to tell you!" We both say at the same time.
"Well, we already know that you're engaged! What happened?" Trish and Dez do the same and look at each other and start laughing because once again they are talking in unison.
"So Ronnie and Jimmy contacted Rihanna's manager and record label. You know that song that I listened to on repeat the first time Austin really hurt me Trish?" Ally tries to jog Trish's memory and after a few minutes is successful.
"I Hate That I Love You."
"Yeah, that one. Well, Ronnie called Rihanna on Skype and she said that she wants Austin and I to do a cover of it!"
Trish starts screaming and doing the same dance she did when we found out that Austin was going to perform for the President.
"That's incredible guys! We're definitely going out to celebrate again tonight!" Dez says. We finish eating and head back to Ramone Records along with Dez and Trish.
"Ally, have you and Austin discussed when you want to get married yet?"
"No, but we'll let you know as soon as we do."
"I can't wait to go look for your wedding dress!" She's practically screaming and squealing again and Ally gives her a huge smile.
I chime in, " I can't wait to see you in your dress baby! I'm sure that I'll never forget how you look on our wedding day!" I turn to face her and rub circles subconsciously on her left hand.
"Aw Austin." Dez says.
"Dez! You just ruined their moment." Trish smacks him on the arm.
"Sorry guys, continue on with your I love love fest."
"It's okay Dez. Austin and I have a lot of special moments when no one else is around." Ally looks at me and I feel my heart start to race and then sigh happily.
"Well now that we've eaten. Ally and I need to head back to do the cover of the song. Do you guys want to come listen to us record it?"
"YES! Can we go right now?" Trish and Dez once again talking in unison.
Ally & Austin's POV
We walk through the door of Ramone Records and go straight to our recording studio. We walk into our sound booth and are given the cue to start. Trish and Dez waiting patiently on the other side of the glass. Dez, of course giving us a thumbs up.
I Hate That I Love You: Rihanna ft. Ne-Yo
[Ally (Austin):]
That's how much I love you (yeah)
That's how much I need you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do
Make me wanna smile?
Can I not like it for awhile?
Well, that certainly worked at least while I was dating my distraction, while Austin was with that psycho-bitch.
I hated when Gavin was the one who put a smile on her face, I wanted to hate him, but I just couldn't. Turns out he's the one that told Ally to make amends and get back together with me. I'll have to thank him for that in person someday if we ever see him again.
[Austin]
No...
[Austin]
but you won't let me
You upset me girl
I was really upset with Ally when she chose Gavin over me, but none of that matters anymore.
then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget
that I was upset
Can't remember what you did
I know that he's referring to when I denied to Gavin that he and I were intimately together. I hated myself for that.
[Both:]
But I hate it
[Ally:]
You know exactly what to do
So that I can't stay mad at you
For too long, that's wrong
Isn't that the truth. No matter what, Austin always knows what to say and do whenever I'm upset with him. Like the time that he made me choose between him and Gavin and he apologized by singing one of our absolutely favorite songs Better Together.
[Both:]
But I hate it
[Austin:]
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more
So I despise that I adore you
He's always said that when I touch him it feels like this electric current is sending shock waves through his body.
I seriously hated fighting with Ally, but man that fight in the very beginning when she was cursing at me and said that she didn't want to look at or talk to me...that nearly killed me emotionally.
[Ally (Austin):]
And I hate how much I love you boy (yeah)
I can't stand how much I need you (I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy (ooh)
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so..
[Austin:]
And you completely know the power that you have
The only one that makes me laugh
She smiles at me and we both want to start laughing, but we can't just yet.
[Ally:]
Sad and it's not fair how you take advantage of the fact that I
Love you beyond the reason why
And it just ain't right
It's true. I did take Ally for granted, but thankfully I realized it before it was way too late. I love her and I'm never going to take her for granted again.
[Austin:]
And I hate how much I love you girl
I can't stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go
I may have been stupid enough to let her go the first time, hell even the second time, but you know what they say Third Times a Charm.
But I hate that I love you so
[Both:]
One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
Austin's kisses will always make me feel weak in the knees.
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me..
Ally will always have a spell on me, simply not only because I love her, but because she's mylove of a lifetime.
[Ally:]
That's how much I love you
How much I need you
That's how much I need you
[Ally (Austin):]
And I hate that I love you sooo...
And I hate how much I love you boy (Hey)
I can't stand how much I need you (I can't stand how much I need you)
And I hate how much I love you boy (girl...)
But I just can't let you go (But I just can't let you go)
And I hate that I love you so
[Both:]
And I hate that I love you so.. so..
The whole time Austin and I are just gazing into each other's eyes while recording. We're probably making people nauseous just by how lovesick we look and probably sound, but honestly I could care less.
"And that's a wrap! You guys! That was perfect. You're free to leave the studio now."
We call Ronnie and Jimmy in to listen to our cover, they love it. They tell us that they'll take care of everything from here and to go celebrate, that we did.
[Time Skip] About 15 minutes later
Austin and I got in the car, he blindfolded me. I asked him where we were going, he just insisted that he wasn't going to tell me and that it was a surprise. He parks our car, comes around the passenger side and helps me out. As he stands behind me he kisses my neck and then takes the blindfold off. He brought me back to the hotel, but more specifically the beach that I wanted to go to earlier today, but we didn't have the time to.
"Oh Austin. It's just as beautiful as it was from our penthouse suite last night. Thank you for bringing me here."
" Would you like to take a walk on the beach with me?" He asks, takes my hand. I take my wedges off, he holds me steady while I do so. I take them off, he places them on the floor in the car.
"I'd love to." We start walking in the sand and then I notice that the sun will be setting in a few minutes. Perfect.
"So baby, when do you want to get married?" He asks me.
"September." I smile at him widely.
"I want that too."
"Are you just saying that?" I counter.
"No babe! September will be cool and not sticky outside. It'll be perfect."
"Do you want a big wedding?"
"Honestly no. We're in the limelight enough as it is."
"I completely agree. Let's just invite our closest friends, family and only the people that we absolutely have to invite." Austin says in response, continues with his inquiries.
"Do you want to get married on the beach?"
"As wonderful as this is. No, it's not what I pictured."
"Tell me where your dream wedding would be baby."
"Well, I was thinking that we could get married in a beautiful garden surrounded by exotic flowers and a cute trellis or something like that. It's stupid - you know what-" He cuts me off right there and kisses my knuckles glancing up at me.
"Ally. I want to give you exactly what you want baby. So that's what you're going to get. I care more about marrying you, our vows, picking out the cake together, etc. I could care less about the location, because it'll be special because I'm marrying my best friend. Can I ask you something?"
"Anything."
"Do you still feel the way Rihanna does in the song?"
"No, I love that I love you Austin. Our life together may not always be perfect, but one thing is for sure that we've always been made just perfect for each other. There's no one else I'd rather experience the ups and downs of life with than you. I love you unconditionally. Do you ever wonder what our life together is going to turn out like? You know, us as a family, with kids and everything horrible and yet amazing at the same time that comes with it."
"Its always only been you soon-to-be Mrs. Allyson Moon. You're a classic, I love you. Sure, I wonder and even hope that our lives together are going to be amazing, but I'm well aware that in life couples, married couples face challenges. You're going to be a great Mom baby, that I'm sure of just because of how amazing you are with kids. Are you ready for what's to come, because Here Comes Forever." Austin pulls me into a heated passionate kiss just as the sun is setting. As the sun is setting Austin and I listen to the waves crash on the sand, glance up at the beautiful colors in the sky.
"I'm ready for forever with you. No matter what life throws at us, I know that we're going to make it as a couple and better yet as a family." I take his hand and pull him down onto the sand as we watch the sun set. It's absolutely beautiful. I know that marriage with Austin isn't always going to be easy or even crazy, but one thing is for sure we're better together.
Speaking of the song, it looks like my soul-mate is reading my mind. He's singing and I decide to join him alternating every other line.
like the waves need the
sand to crash on,
like the sun needs a world to shine on,
you're the bright side of everyday,
me without you just isn't the same,
it's not the same,
better, oh better,
oh we're better together
hey I will always stay by your side forever,
cause we're better together,
hey there's no other way will make it through whatever,
cause we're better together
The End.
A/N: Stay tuned to see if there will be an Epilogue. xoxo
